1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 1: Kalaroga. Shok Media got a pretty big Saturday Night Live tonight.

2
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:14,839
We'll see if Louren Michaels is saying goodbye. I don't

3
00:00:14,919 --> 00:00:18,280
think so. And I'm still buzzing about Letterman on Colbert. Hello,

4
00:00:18,719 --> 00:00:21,399
I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Now people

5
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,239
are wondering is there more to the Will Smith Chris

6
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,879
Rock thing. Yeah, that's back. I didn't expect that to

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,000
be back. Today, Chris Rock was on the Fly on

8
00:00:30,079 --> 00:00:33,880
the Wall podcast with Spade and Carvey. Rock was asked

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,840
to name his five favorite rappers. During that Chris Rock

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,880
said that he had beef with Tupac Shakur because they

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,920
often dated the same woman and Tupac usually won out. Now,

12
00:00:45,039 --> 00:00:49,560
why is this interesting? Tupac Shakur's most famous girlfriend was

13
00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:54,920
Jada Jata aka Jada Smith, Will Smith's wife. Over the years,

14
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,039
Jada has denied dating Tupac Shakor, saying they were platonic soulmates.

15
00:00:59,159 --> 00:01:02,520
In twenty twenty three, Jada revealed that Chris Rock had

16
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,159
asked her out on a eight years ago. She claimed

17
00:01:05,159 --> 00:01:06,760
that Chris Rock called her saying I'd love to take

18
00:01:06,799 --> 00:01:09,000
you out. According to this version of the story Chris

19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,519
Rock was taking a shot because he thought she was

20
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,599
getting divorced from Will Smith, who knows very interesting. Tonight

21
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,879
Saturday Night Live, is it Lauren Michael's final episode? Some

22
00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:22,760
people are speculating that it's a good time to get out.

23
00:01:22,879 --> 00:01:24,719
I think we would have heard something. I don't think

24
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,719
Lauren's just gonna suddenly walk away on a random Saturday

25
00:01:27,719 --> 00:01:32,519
in May. Tonight on Saturday Night Live, Will Ferrell's your host.

26
00:01:32,599 --> 00:01:35,519
Paul McCartney is your musical guest. Oh my god. Well,

27
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,040
we're so excited to have you here with Yeah, we're

28
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,040
big fans. Gosh, you guys. Thanks, I'm really excited to

29
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,200
be back. Hey, Andrew, need you do me a favor

30
00:01:45,239 --> 00:01:49,000
and get off the stage? Okay, thanks God. This place

31
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,760
looks exactly the same. Yeah. I don't think they've changed

32
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,760
it much. Yeah, they even kept this. It's very funny.

33
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,239
I was delighted by that joke. Get off the damn stage.

34
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,400
So do you guys have any sketch ideas? Uh? Tell

35
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,599
him about SpongeBob is a Circle now? Oh, I can't

36
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,120
wait to see that. Okay, I see your showing off

37
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,199
for Chlory and Sarah. I'm gonna give you a little

38
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,639
show off my own. I'm gonna give you the beating

39
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,479
of a lifetime in front of the's gorgeous town and ladies.

40
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:25,360
How's that's the stage? How's the stage? Yikes? That wasn't Andrew?

41
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:30,759
Who was it Paul McCartney? Oh sorry, Paul, you can

42
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,439
stay on the stage. You guys are gonna have to

43
00:02:33,479 --> 00:02:39,840
find a new host. Just start bowing, Just start bowing, okay?

44
00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:42,560
Late night or among those of us wondering, could Paul

45
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,759
McCartney finally bring a Beatles runion to Saturday Night Live?

46
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,599
Obviously John and George can't be there. Paul's already there.

47
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,400
Could Ringo come by? Paul's promoting his new album, The

48
00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:55,479
Boys of Dungeon Lane. On that album is a song

49
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,240
called Home to Us. Build is the first true duet

50
00:02:58,319 --> 00:03:01,599
between McCartney and Ringo and the first song since the

51
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,960
Beatles broke up to feature two members alternating lead vocals.

52
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,400
I like the song. It's a little cheesy, it's a

53
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,240
little catchy, which kind of is what McCartney does, kind

54
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,840
of what Ringo does too, So I like it. Their

55
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:15,360
guys in their eighties relax. Maybe the vocals artists good

56
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,080
as they used to be. You be of the Beatles now.

57
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,479
Ringo himself just had an album called Long Long Road.

58
00:03:21,759 --> 00:03:24,800
He is not on tour until May twenty eighth. Ringo

59
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,199
has only appeared on SNL once, hosting an episode nineteen

60
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,879
eighty four, and that was when Lorne Michaels wasn't there.

61
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,599
I think that's just a coincidence. You may recall the

62
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,759
story in nineteen seventy six, Lorne Michaels offered the Beatles

63
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,360
cash to reunite on SNL. Lorne Michael said, all you

64
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,000
have to do is sing three Beatles songs, and he

65
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,719
offered them three thousand dollars. Now, what's great about the

66
00:03:47,759 --> 00:03:51,360
story is John Lennon revealed that he and McCartney happen

67
00:03:51,439 --> 00:03:54,039
to be hanging out that night at John Lennon's apartment

68
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,360
at the Dakota, and they considered going down to show

69
00:03:57,479 --> 00:03:59,319
up and collect the three thousand dollars. That would have

70
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,759
been amazing if you're not familiar with New York City,

71
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,840
just between the Dakota and Thirty Rock, not a lot

72
00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:07,479
at all. They could have jumped in a cab. By

73
00:04:07,479 --> 00:04:09,599
the way, mentioned Lennon and McCartney jumping in a cab,

74
00:04:09,639 --> 00:04:11,319
but it's in New York City that stuff used to

75
00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:14,879
go on, so we will see if they show up. Now.

76
00:04:14,919 --> 00:04:17,480
We learned from Jeff Ross that the roast of Kevin

77
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:20,120
Hart maybe perhaps could have been the roast of Paul McCartney.

78
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,480
Jeff told Variety, we did ask Paul McCartney at one point.

79
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,160
To me, that would be a fantasy roast. Paul McCartney

80
00:04:26,199 --> 00:04:28,120
doesn't eat anything, but a Paul McCartney roast would be

81
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,360
good for the world. Would be so funny to me

82
00:04:30,439 --> 00:04:32,959
because he's so loved. That's a good segue to some

83
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,360
stories that I didn't get to all week. I've been

84
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,240
holding on of these. But we'll go from the Beatles

85
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,399
to the Rolling Stones. The Stones have a new album

86
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,800
coming out. Their last album, Ackney Diamond's in twenty twenty three,

87
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,279
was pretty good. The first two songs from the new

88
00:04:46,319 --> 00:04:50,199
album are decent. The new album, Foreign Tongues, includes guest

89
00:04:50,199 --> 00:04:53,879
spots from people like Paul McCartney, not like actually Paul McCartney,

90
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,319
Robert Smith of The Cure, and Chad Smith of the

91
00:04:56,360 --> 00:05:00,680
Red Hot Chili Peppers. The Rolling Stones joined Conan O'Brien

92
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,360
in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Ronnie Wood told Conan that Paul McCartney

93
00:05:05,399 --> 00:05:07,360
was checking items off his bucket list and wanted to

94
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:08,879
appear on the album. Said now I could say I've

95
00:05:08,879 --> 00:05:12,600
played with the Rolling Stones. Conan described hosting the conversation

96
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,480
as the gig of a lifetime. Conan said that the

97
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,759
vocals on the new album didn't sound a lot different

98
00:05:17,759 --> 00:05:20,920
from the vocals from nineteen sixty eight. Mick Jaggers said, well,

99
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,720
I was taking a lot of drugs in sixty eight.

100
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,399
Conan joked he was actually there to stage an intervention.

101
00:05:25,959 --> 00:05:29,079
The new record will be out July tenth. The Rolling

102
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,680
Stones were also hanging out with Jimmy Fallon. Fallon brought

103
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,600
back a bit called real people, Fake Arms and did

104
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,160
this with Mick Jagger. The bit originated with Will Ferrell,

105
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:41,959
who's on SNL tonight. This All's coming together, John Well

106
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,600
done Total Accident. Back in twenty ten, Jimmy Fallon and

107
00:05:45,639 --> 00:05:47,879
a celebrity guest act out a scene from the fictional

108
00:05:47,959 --> 00:05:51,240
nineties Canadian soap opera Jacob's Patience. The running gag, one

109
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,519
of the actors insists on using manneqin arms instead of

110
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,079
their own, no matter how observe the situation while the

111
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,160
other tries and fails to carry on as if everything

112
00:05:58,199 --> 00:06:00,560
is normal. In the Jagger Peace, they were in a

113
00:06:00,639 --> 00:06:03,680
jewelry store called Hackney Diamonds again the name of the

114
00:06:03,759 --> 00:06:05,959
Rolling Stones twenty twenty three out, which is pretty good.

115
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,160
Mick Jagger greets Jimmy Fallon and says, please to meet you.

116
00:06:09,319 --> 00:06:12,600
Hope you guess my name. Ron Wood was on Wednesday's Fallon.

117
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,240
Keith Richards was on Thursday's fallon. John You never mentioned

118
00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:19,199
Kevin Hart. I know Kevin Hart has teamed up with

119
00:06:19,319 --> 00:06:22,360
michelob Ultra. They are going to pay one soccer fan

120
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,959
ninety thousand dollars for ninety minutes of work at the

121
00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:28,680
FIFA World Cup twenty twenty six final. My question of

122
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,040
the winner is how are you gonna get there? You're

123
00:06:30,079 --> 00:06:32,959
gonna pay one hundred and fifty dollars train, you can't

124
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,560
park at the stadium and there's no ride shares. How

125
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,160
are we supposed to get to this game? The selected

126
00:06:38,199 --> 00:06:40,639
fan will be the Superior Player of the Match Chief

127
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,319
Trophy Officer. That fan will be responsible for delivering the

128
00:06:44,439 --> 00:06:47,560
Superior Player of the Match trophy on the field during

129
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,160
the World Cup Final. In addition, to the ninety thousand

130
00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:53,199
compensation package. The recipient will receive two tickets and access

131
00:06:53,199 --> 00:06:55,759
to the championship match at the Stadium here in New

132
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,959
Jersey on July nineteenth. Again, O doun't on how they're

133
00:06:57,959 --> 00:07:00,560
going to get there. Kevin Hart, you never from him

134
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:02,279
said this really might be the best job in the world.

135
00:07:02,319 --> 00:07:04,439
I mean, it's so good. I even tried applying for it.

136
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:05,920
To go from being a fan at home and end

137
00:07:05,959 --> 00:07:08,279
up at the FIFA World Cup twenty twenty six final matches,

138
00:07:08,319 --> 00:07:11,360
something most people can only wish for. Remember, like ten

139
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,720
major stories ago, there was Kevin Hart funny af and

140
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:16,800
the winner was Ron Taylor. Ron Taylor won a comedy

141
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,360
special on Netflix. Does he have a time limit on that?

142
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,040
Ron Taylor told AV Club about a week ago. I

143
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,000
haven't got any of details about that, at least not yet.

144
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,959
I'm still kind of wiping crust out of my eyes.

145
00:07:26,519 --> 00:07:28,240
But the way I've been thinking about it is that's

146
00:07:28,279 --> 00:07:29,839
next month. So every month I'm gonna say I have

147
00:07:29,879 --> 00:07:31,600
to shoot this hour next month. That way I can

148
00:07:31,639 --> 00:07:33,800
be working on it diligently and intently to where it'll

149
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,040
be ready whenever it needs to be ready. A right

150
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,800
Ron Taylor, How are you gonna use your new found visibility?

151
00:07:39,319 --> 00:07:41,480
Ron Taylor said, it's interesting. Kevin Hart has given a

152
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,439
good blueprint of what I think most comedians would like

153
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,319
to do when they think about life outside comedy before.

154
00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:48,519
A good blueprint could have been like Steve Harvey doing

155
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,360
different shows and stuff like that. But I think Kevin

156
00:07:50,399 --> 00:07:53,040
has done everything. He's got his own shoe. He's a

157
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,920
comedian that's not very tall, and he's got his own

158
00:07:54,959 --> 00:07:57,079
athletic shoe. He's got movies, books, he's even got a

159
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,639
music deal. He's got a rap alter ego Chocolate Droppa

160
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,279
he does. I didn't know that. Is that a thing?

161
00:08:02,839 --> 00:08:06,920
I'm googling? What do you know? There's a tiny desk

162
00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:09,920
concert on YouTube. Oh, we will get to this some

163
00:08:10,079 --> 00:08:12,439
other day, like July fourth week, when I'm like, how

164
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:14,079
am I going to fill the time? We'll get into that.

165
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,800
I'll just add that to the notes for a slow

166
00:08:15,839 --> 00:08:17,959
news day. We got too much of this week, Ron

167
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:19,839
Taylor said, I want to use this momentum to work

168
00:08:19,839 --> 00:08:21,360
as much as I can. When you're coming up and

169
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,959
you're trying to make things happen, you can't just go

170
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,319
to a comedy club and say, hey, can I have

171
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,240
a weekend here? They're like, can you put butts in seats?

172
00:08:26,279 --> 00:08:29,920
If not, get out of here. President Obama teased his

173
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,799
upcoming HBO Max show that one feature is comedian Larry David.

174
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,000
You know that guy. It is titled Life Larry in

175
00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:39,200
the Pursuit of Unhappiness. Obama set up sat across the

176
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,159
table from some of the world's most difficult leaders and

177
00:08:41,159 --> 00:08:44,360
wrestled with some of the globe's most intractable problems. Nothing

178
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,279
has prepared me for working with Larry David. I'm just

179
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:48,080
a producer on the show, so I don't have to

180
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:50,080
deal with them day to day, but still it's a lot.

181
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,200
Larry David then walks into the video goes hey forty four.

182
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,480
Obama says yeah. Larry asks can I put you down

183
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,919
as my emergency contact? Obama says, why would you do that?

184
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,440
Larry says, well, if they see your name, they'll be

185
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,559
more inclined to help Life Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness, HBO.

186
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,799
June twenty sixth NBC picked up the paper for season

187
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:12,879
two on Peacock That's the Office spinoff. I was kind

188
00:09:12,879 --> 00:09:14,720
of enjoying it. And I think I got I don't know,

189
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:16,240
maybe seven of the ten in I'm not sure I

190
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,200
finished the season. Maybe I did, can't remember. It's fine.

191
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,279
NBC is also renewed Reggie Dinkins, starring Tracy Morgan and

192
00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,360
Daniel Radcliffe, for a second season. The Fall and Rise

193
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:29,720
of Reggie Dinkins stars Tracy Morgan as a former football

194
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,480
star whose career ended in a gambling scandal. Apparently someone's

195
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,799
watching that. Prime Video signed up Brett Goldstein for an

196
00:09:35,799 --> 00:09:39,840
eight episode, half hour single camera romantic comedy in es

197
00:09:39,919 --> 00:09:44,759
Courted a divorce dad, presumably Brett Goldstein accidentally becomes a

198
00:09:44,759 --> 00:09:47,600
male escort and I'm pretty sure it's Brett Goldstein in

199
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,720
this romantic comedy about sexual dynamics, keeping secrets, and whether

200
00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:54,080
real intimacy can ever be bought. Goldstein said, I'm so

201
00:09:54,159 --> 00:09:56,799
excited to bring a wholesome show about condoms, co parting

202
00:09:56,840 --> 00:09:59,600
and cosplay. Amazon the place where I actually buy my condoms,

203
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,000
like a real circle moment. Last weekend, like you know,

204
00:10:03,039 --> 00:10:05,519
like eight days ago, maybe fifteen days ago. I bumped

205
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:07,440
a lot of stuff this week. John Stewart was down

206
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:10,639
in Philadelphia playing drums for his band Church and State.

207
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,360
This was at the Singer's Home festival. John Stewart learned

208
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,080
how to play drums during COVID. He said, it's been

209
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,559
such an incredible gift to sit around guitarist Andy Bova's

210
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:21,559
basement like a group of proper fourteen year olds and

211
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,879
write songs. Who's up for some indie old man emo?

212
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,720
Not a Jeanreyette, but it's coming. The band is led

213
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:30,120
by singer songwriter Rick Berry, who's an Asbury Park musician.

214
00:10:30,159 --> 00:10:33,080
If you're not hip to Asbury Park, New Jersey, there's

215
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:35,879
a thriving music scene down there, always a great place

216
00:10:35,919 --> 00:10:40,120
to catch a show. Boba's father, Jim, plays bass. Church

217
00:10:40,159 --> 00:10:43,480
and State's YouTube page has forty eight subscribers. We had

218
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,200
to get them some more forty eight and they've posted

219
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,600
three videos from past shows. John Stewart said, the feeling

220
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,879
you get when desparate limbs locking and moving away they

221
00:10:51,919 --> 00:10:55,000
never have before. You can feel new neural pathways opening up,

222
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,039
lighting up. It feels like the opposite of death. And

223
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,279
John was playing drums for The Very White Stripes. That

224
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,559
is the band that appeared the other day with Codin

225
00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:06,840
O'Brien on guzar. Jimmy Kimmel on I don't know, some

226
00:11:06,879 --> 00:11:09,159
sort of woodwind I don't remember. I'm doing this story

227
00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:12,759
from memory and some lovely young lady on vocals and

228
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,679
they just shared another clip which I just grabbed. So

229
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,759
we'll let that take us out and I will see

230
00:11:18,759 --> 00:11:21,679
you tomorrow. If you would like this program without commercial interruption,

231
00:11:21,799 --> 00:11:23,919
go on Apple Podcasts. Click on the show. There's a

232
00:11:23,919 --> 00:11:26,240
banner it says uninterrupted listening. You click that. Then for

233
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,240
thirty days no commercials asterisk, and then after that it's

234
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,759
five bucks a month. Great way to support the show. Now,

235
00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:34,159
what's the asterisk? John? I have to do this manually.

236
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,080
Take it up with my hosting company. They will not

237
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,799
add away from me to automate this. Every other hosting

238
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,399
company has this, but the one I use just won't

239
00:11:41,399 --> 00:11:43,600
do it, no matter how much I nag them or

240
00:11:43,639 --> 00:11:46,240
shame them publicly like I'm doing now. So what happens

241
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,480
is John gets up in the morning and has to

242
00:11:48,639 --> 00:11:52,200
grab the show and upload it a second time, which

243
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,120
is not, you know, torture. But I'm also not doing

244
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:56,600
that at three oh five in the morning, So you

245
00:11:56,639 --> 00:12:00,200
get the commercial free episode at like seven something, only

246
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,000
by seven fifteen. See you tomorrow,
