00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media. Hi there, Johnny Mack with your daily

2
00:00:11.119 --> 00:00:14.560
<v Speaker 1>comedy news. Conan O'Brien, who is indeed on the Mount

3
00:00:14.640 --> 00:00:17.760
<v Speaker 1>Rushmore of Late Night Comedy. Hopefully you listen to Sunday's

4
00:00:17.800 --> 00:00:21.559
<v Speaker 1>episode where I revealed the four names. Go check it

5
00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:24.239
<v Speaker 1>out if you haven't. I really enjoyed putting that episode together.

6
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:27.480
<v Speaker 1>That was Sunday's episode. In this feed, Conan O'Brien was

7
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:31.679
<v Speaker 1>on the Messy podcast, which is hosted by Christina Applegate

8
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>and Jamie Lynn Sigler. Conan's been all over the place lately.

9
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:39.159
<v Speaker 1>Conan said, I've had multiple times in my career where

10
00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:42.200
<v Speaker 1>things kind of blew up or went sideways. I had

11
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:44.520
<v Speaker 1>no regrets about giving the Tonight show a shot, and when,

12
00:00:44.560 --> 00:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>for all these complicated reasons, it blew up, I was

13
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:48.560
<v Speaker 1>deeply upset. I thought I'm in real trouble. This could

14
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:50.520
<v Speaker 1>be end of my career at forty six. But lo

15
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:53.039
<v Speaker 1>and behold, this thing called the Internet rose up and

16
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:55.600
<v Speaker 1>I got this huge groundswell of love and appreciation that

17
00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>I didn't expect. Because you're doing a show like Late Night,

18
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:00.920
<v Speaker 1>day and day out for sixteen years, it's submarine duty.

19
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:02.799
<v Speaker 1>You don't get a chance to you understand fully that

20
00:01:02.840 --> 00:01:04.840
<v Speaker 1>there's a generation of people out there that have been watching.

21
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>They're younger than me, and they all knew how to

22
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>use the internet, so they all got on social media

23
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.079
<v Speaker 1>and it was a big thing. The one thing that

24
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:13.159
<v Speaker 1>saved me is I'm very restless, and I'm willing to

25
00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>change it up. The idea of doing one thing for

26
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.159
<v Speaker 1>thirty five years in television and getting a gold watch

27
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:19.760
<v Speaker 1>and leaving just said it awful to me. It still does,

28
00:01:19.879 --> 00:01:23.040
<v Speaker 1>although a gold watch would be great. Speaking of watches,

29
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:25.040
<v Speaker 1>I didn't even plan this. I just put a Conan

30
00:01:25.120 --> 00:01:27.680
<v Speaker 1>story back to back with John Mullaney. But John Mulaney

31
00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:31.120
<v Speaker 1>spoke to GQ magazine about watches. I wish I had

32
00:01:31.159 --> 00:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>done that on purpose. I'm not that good. It's a

33
00:01:33.680 --> 00:01:36.079
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday off, a holiday weekend. I just put some stories

34
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:38.920
<v Speaker 1>with big names at the top. Anyway, we accidentally have

35
00:01:38.959 --> 00:01:41.959
<v Speaker 1>a theme. Look at that. GQ recounts the story of

36
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:45.040
<v Speaker 1>Mullany having to sell his Rolex when he had some

37
00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:49.480
<v Speaker 1>drug problems. In twenty twenty one, Olivia Munn gave John

38
00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Mulaney a Rolex air King to celebrate the birth of

39
00:01:52.439 --> 00:01:55.040
<v Speaker 1>their son. The watches from nineteen eighty two, which is

40
00:01:55.079 --> 00:01:57.079
<v Speaker 1>the year John mullaney was born, and that makes me

41
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>feel ancient and has Malcolm's dad engraved on the case back.

42
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.400
<v Speaker 1>M'LINI told GQ that the Air King was coming right

43
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:06.680
<v Speaker 1>off that whole Rolex debacle. It's linked to a lot

44
00:02:06.719 --> 00:02:09.639
<v Speaker 1>of stuff. Melini said he didn't need another watch after

45
00:02:09.680 --> 00:02:12.039
<v Speaker 1>getting the air King, but you still end up getting them.

46
00:02:12.520 --> 00:02:16.360
<v Speaker 1>John's collection includes a white gold Rolex, sub Mariners and

47
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>elegant Grand Sacos to the high flying show Pards and

48
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:23.240
<v Speaker 1>the new Brightling Top Time. How many of those words

49
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.759
<v Speaker 1>that I pronounced wrong? I'm gonna guess two. Skipping a ed,

50
00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:28.000
<v Speaker 1>GQ says, I saw on TV the other day you

51
00:02:28.039 --> 00:02:30.759
<v Speaker 1>wore the special edition show Pard for the Year of

52
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:33.120
<v Speaker 1>the Rabbit with a scene of two cute little rabbits

53
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>on it. John said, two cute rabbits on it and

54
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:36.960
<v Speaker 1>a great watch with everyone loved. But it's very hard

55
00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:38.960
<v Speaker 1>to tell the time on two gold hands moving over

56
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:41.319
<v Speaker 1>two slightly gold rabbits. But it's funny. I always go

57
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:43.479
<v Speaker 1>it's seven to one pm, and that's the one where

58
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:45.159
<v Speaker 1>I had to go it is, and then look at

59
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:48.639
<v Speaker 1>the studio clock. John talked about having to pick the

60
00:02:48.919 --> 00:02:51.719
<v Speaker 1>right watch for performing. He said, of one watch, it's

61
00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.639
<v Speaker 1>nice for most occasions, not distracting when you're doing stand up.

62
00:02:54.680 --> 00:02:56.520
<v Speaker 1>There are watches you might wear where the audience might

63
00:02:56.560 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 1>lose any empathy for you. You don't want to wear a

64
00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.280
<v Speaker 1>sub mariner and be complaining about traffic. Colour Wise, I

65
00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:03.439
<v Speaker 1>don't wear a rose gold, no pink gold. I like

66
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:04.919
<v Speaker 1>to say it's for a better reason, but I'm that

67
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:09.919
<v Speaker 1>shade of pale where it doesn't look good anyway. GQ

68
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.080
<v Speaker 1>long piece with John Mullenian watch as I barely skim

69
00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:15.599
<v Speaker 1>that one. The La Times caught up with Dmitri Martin.

70
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.800
<v Speaker 1>They talked about how Dmitri incorporates drawings in his stand up.

71
00:03:19.919 --> 00:03:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Martin said, the cool thing about drawing is I could

72
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>share something personal and I can use a graphic to

73
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:28.039
<v Speaker 1>illustrate it. More specifically, Martin's now wondering I brought visual

74
00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:30.400
<v Speaker 1>art into my stand up comedy. Can I bring comedy

75
00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:34.639
<v Speaker 1>into the visual art world. Acute Angles is Martin's solo

76
00:03:34.800 --> 00:03:39.000
<v Speaker 1>exhibit running through May thirty. First Acute Angles, he says

77
00:03:39.039 --> 00:03:41.199
<v Speaker 1>the title reference is the shape of his nose. It

78
00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:44.759
<v Speaker 1>features large grayscale paintings with a unifying color palette of

79
00:03:44.879 --> 00:03:48.280
<v Speaker 1>bright red, sky blue, and medium gray. The paintings depict

80
00:03:48.360 --> 00:03:50.840
<v Speaker 1>implausible scenarios. What if the Grim Reaper slipped on a

81
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:52.759
<v Speaker 1>banana on his way to kill you? What if Superman

82
00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:55.680
<v Speaker 1>ripped his underpants on his quest to save you. Martin

83
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:58.599
<v Speaker 1>has a month long lease of an abandoned yoga studio

84
00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:02.039
<v Speaker 1>tucked behind a California in Pete's kitchen in Brentwood. The

85
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.599
<v Speaker 1>Devil's always in the details. Love that whole sentence you

86
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>can relate to this. This show also represents Martin's re

87
00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:12.400
<v Speaker 1>emergence from his own midlife existential crisis. At fifty one,

88
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.159
<v Speaker 1>he is older than his dad was when his dad died.

89
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:17.720
<v Speaker 1>I just went through that milestone. That's the one you

90
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>really think about. Dimitri's mom was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's.

91
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:25.639
<v Speaker 1>So Dimitri wonders, so now is this like bonus time

92
00:04:25.639 --> 00:04:27.920
<v Speaker 1>for me? Started asking himself that in his late forties,

93
00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:31.199
<v Speaker 1>he's now fifty one. Sarah Silverman was asked about Dmitri.

94
00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:33.720
<v Speaker 1>Sarah said, he's not without cynicism once you know him,

95
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.439
<v Speaker 1>But where comics often lead with cynicism, he is this

96
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:38.519
<v Speaker 1>wide eyed openness, and I think that's the threat that

97
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:42.160
<v Speaker 1>pulls through all his work. Taylor Tomlinson will be recording

98
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.160
<v Speaker 1>a Netflix special, she posted on social media. She'll tape

99
00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:48.920
<v Speaker 1>the special December thirteenth in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She's taping

100
00:04:48.920 --> 00:04:52.759
<v Speaker 1>at the Fountain Street Church. Kaylee Clements is the director

101
00:04:52.800 --> 00:04:55.560
<v Speaker 1>of audio and visual technology at the church. Kaylee says

102
00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:57.240
<v Speaker 1>she was looking for a venue with a nice look.

103
00:04:57.279 --> 00:04:59.040
<v Speaker 1>As far as I understand, it wasn't expressed to me

104
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:01.160
<v Speaker 1>why she picked Grand rap But I'm going to say

105
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:04.519
<v Speaker 1>it's because the Fountain Street Church is amazing. Kaylee told

106
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.879
<v Speaker 1>him live Taylor was very kind and sweet. We were

107
00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>taking a virtual tour of the space to see if

108
00:05:08.600 --> 00:05:10.639
<v Speaker 1>it met her approval. Because it's a really large production.

109
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:12.720
<v Speaker 1>There were a lot of moving pieces. We may have

110
00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:15.519
<v Speaker 1>a reputation as a conservative town, and this shows again

111
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:17.759
<v Speaker 1>that we allowed diverse voices and we're open to all

112
00:05:17.839 --> 00:05:21.759
<v Speaker 1>kinds of perspectives. The Saint Pete catalyst asked Howie Mandel,

113
00:05:21.800 --> 00:05:23.560
<v Speaker 1>why do you always come back to stand up? How

114
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:25.839
<v Speaker 1>He says, I never left stand up. People always go

115
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:27.839
<v Speaker 1>I loved it when you did stand up. Stand Up's

116
00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:29.439
<v Speaker 1>my thing. I was a stand up from day one,

117
00:05:29.519 --> 00:05:32.240
<v Speaker 1>I did a young Comedian special, and then because that's

118
00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:34.040
<v Speaker 1>what people did, I went to meet with a sitcom

119
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>company and they gave me a sitcom called to See Elsewhere.

120
00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:39.399
<v Speaker 1>I didn't set out to be a dramatic actor. While

121
00:05:39.439 --> 00:05:40.879
<v Speaker 1>I was doing that, I was doing stand up. And

122
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:43.120
<v Speaker 1>then I got a Saturday Morning cartoon, Bobby's World. I

123
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:44.959
<v Speaker 1>didn't set out to do that. They knew my voice

124
00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:46.720
<v Speaker 1>from stand up, and I continue to do stand up.

125
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:48.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to be a game show host, but

126
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I did Dealer No Deal, and I kept being a

127
00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:52.199
<v Speaker 1>stand up. Now I'm a judge on a talent show

128
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:54.800
<v Speaker 1>and I'm still a stand up and I do a

129
00:05:54.839 --> 00:05:57.639
<v Speaker 1>podcast with my daughter, But really, I do stand up.

130
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Vanity Fair asked Martin Short how he feels about being

131
00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.800
<v Speaker 1>up against Steve Martin in the same Emmy category. Martin said,

132
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>it's a little weird and we do kind of divide

133
00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.680
<v Speaker 1>the vote. I think someone approaching me at the very

134
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:11.480
<v Speaker 1>beginning about would you consider being submitted as a supporting

135
00:06:11.519 --> 00:06:13.439
<v Speaker 1>actor when I go into that category, and I said,

136
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:16.680
<v Speaker 1>that's completely dishonestome Now it was just a pondering question.

137
00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:18.279
<v Speaker 1>I think it was from the Emmys. They were acknowledging

138
00:06:18.279 --> 00:06:20.480
<v Speaker 1>that we would always split the vote. He told a

139
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:23.000
<v Speaker 1>funny story about working on the show Damages. It was

140
00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:24.920
<v Speaker 1>the first day and one of the executive producers, after

141
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:26.639
<v Speaker 1>a couple takes, came up and said, Marty, can you

142
00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:28.759
<v Speaker 1>not smile? And I said why is that when you

143
00:06:28.759 --> 00:06:30.680
<v Speaker 1>smile you become Martin Short? And I said, well, I'm

144
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of stuck because I am Martin Short. The producer

145
00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.680
<v Speaker 1>later apologized and said that was a stupid note. Martin said,

146
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:39.759
<v Speaker 1>I think Lauren Michael said this to me. I attributed

147
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:41.199
<v Speaker 1>to him that when you go to the zoo, you

148
00:06:41.199 --> 00:06:42.600
<v Speaker 1>go to the monkey cage, and the monkeys have a

149
00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:44.759
