WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack, who with

2
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:15.240
<v Speaker 1>your daily comedy news today honestly weekend filler. Look, man,

3
00:00:15.320 --> 00:00:18.079
<v Speaker 1>it was Christmas and I've had a couple of lists

4
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:20.640
<v Speaker 1>that I've just been holding on to for you. Now,

5
00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:23.399
<v Speaker 1>this first list has been completely blocked by an ad

6
00:00:23.440 --> 00:00:26.760
<v Speaker 1>for Brad Pitt's f One the movie. Now I could

7
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.320
<v Speaker 1>just edit this out, but that's not fun. Hey guys,

8
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying to read the list here. How do you

9
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:35.159
<v Speaker 1>clear this ad? Oh? There it goes from Deadline Comics

10
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:38.359
<v Speaker 1>who Won twenty twenty five? The ad is back again.

11
00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:40.240
<v Speaker 1>I could edit this out, but wouldn't you rather just

12
00:00:40.240 --> 00:00:42.240
<v Speaker 1>hear me slowly lose my mind as I tried to

13
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.280
<v Speaker 1>do this? Where was I? Comics who won twenty twenty five?

14
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:49.399
<v Speaker 1>A look at fourteen? Who leveled up with explosive professional Growth?

15
00:00:49.439 --> 00:00:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Why fourteen? What a weird number? This is by Matt

16
00:00:52.359 --> 00:00:55.560
<v Speaker 1>Grobar in Deadline, as I like to do with most

17
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.679
<v Speaker 1>of these lists. I haven't looked at it yet, but

18
00:00:57.759 --> 00:01:00.560
<v Speaker 1>I am going to hit command plus plus to make

19
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:03.520
<v Speaker 1>the font bigger. Somebody's scatt and old. You can't see

20
00:01:03.520 --> 00:01:07.840
<v Speaker 1>anymore Deadline rights. We've honed in on fourteen comedic performers

21
00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.239
<v Speaker 1>who achieved explosive professional growth in twenty twenty five, whether

22
00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:14.319
<v Speaker 1>by substantially boosting their ticket sales or social media following,

23
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>landing a coveted roll or development opportunity, or elevating to

24
00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:20.400
<v Speaker 1>a new tier of venue as a headliner. It should

25
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:23.439
<v Speaker 1>be noticed this list isn't all encompassing. You won't find

26
00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Jim Gaffigan listed here, even if he did the unthinkable

27
00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>by putting together nearly forty five great minutes just on

28
00:01:28.599 --> 00:01:31.200
<v Speaker 1>the topic of bourbon. I'll push back on the word great. There,

29
00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:33.799
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna use both hands to push back on the

30
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:37.040
<v Speaker 1>word great. You won't find Nikki Glazer, who's elevated to

31
00:01:37.079 --> 00:01:39.280
<v Speaker 1>the A list with an array of starring vehicles lined

32
00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>up Nord Tom Sagora, who landed his first Emmy nominee

33
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>for Bad Thoughts, and I'll point out play at the

34
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:49.280
<v Speaker 1>reON Comedy Festival. Deadline says, we generally try to avoid

35
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>arena tier comedians, though a couple's not through. Let's look

36
00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:57.319
<v Speaker 1>number one, Max Amini. Now I'm already fascinated by this list.

37
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.519
<v Speaker 1>Max Amini. You know how many times I've mentioned Maxsimini.

38
00:02:00.560 --> 00:02:04.719
<v Speaker 1>This year prior to today's episode, none, and I can

39
00:02:04.760 --> 00:02:07.159
<v Speaker 1>see I suck at this. I'm the worst. I don't

40
00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:09.759
<v Speaker 1>know anything about comedy, and I'm terrible at hosting a podcast.

41
00:02:10.039 --> 00:02:12.800
<v Speaker 1>But I can tell you almost every day I google

42
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.439
<v Speaker 1>the word comedy, and I also google the word comedian,

43
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.159
<v Speaker 1>and I also read several entertainment websites, including Deadline and

44
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:23.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm sitting here right now going Maximini, who Deadline tells

45
00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:26.639
<v Speaker 1>us this year he has performed one hundred and fifty

46
00:02:26.759 --> 00:02:29.759
<v Speaker 1>sold out shows in nineteen countries, selling over two hundred

47
00:02:29.800 --> 00:02:34.599
<v Speaker 1>thousand tickets. In March, Amani released his latest special, Randomly Selected,

48
00:02:34.759 --> 00:02:37.080
<v Speaker 1>seeing it pull out a whopping sixteen million views on

49
00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:40.719
<v Speaker 1>YouTube Deadline rights. Remarkably, this special is not only the

50
00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:43.759
<v Speaker 1>top performing special of the year across all platforms per

51
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Nielsen numbers, it's also the ninth and most viewed on

52
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>YouTube of all time. Now again, I'm terrible with this.

53
00:02:50.439 --> 00:02:54.319
<v Speaker 1>I suck, But I did read other people's lists. No

54
00:02:54.400 --> 00:02:56.919
<v Speaker 1>one mentioned this. The La Times didn't mention this. Vulture

55
00:02:56.919 --> 00:02:59.919
<v Speaker 1>didn't mention this. The YouTube algorithm hasn't put this in

56
00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:02.319
<v Speaker 1>in front of me. What is going on here? Did

57
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:04.879
<v Speaker 1>I move to like a parallel universe where this guy's

58
00:03:04.960 --> 00:03:07.639
<v Speaker 1>the top comedian, described by Jerry Seinfeld as one of

59
00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:10.319
<v Speaker 1>the hottest comedians to watch in the next generation of comedy.

60
00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:14.080
<v Speaker 1>As of this month, he's Instagram's number two creator period,

61
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:18.120
<v Speaker 1>behind only mister beast a Meani, generating two point seven

62
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.240
<v Speaker 1>seven billion views on the platform this year and has

63
00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>now surpassed six billion all time. I know somebody out

64
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.319
<v Speaker 1>there is screaming, okay boomer at me right now. I

65
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:27.719
<v Speaker 1>get it. I totally get it. I see these numbers

66
00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:30.719
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like wow. And I'm not saying anything negative

67
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.159
<v Speaker 1>about him. I'm just saying, wow, how is all this

68
00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.199
<v Speaker 1>happening without hitting the mainstream media at all? Like zero?

69
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:41.479
<v Speaker 1>I listen to podcasts about comedy. Haven't heard the name.

70
00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:44.919
<v Speaker 1>I read Deadline, I read Vulture, I read Variety, I

71
00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>read the Hollywood Reporter. I haven't seen the name. Am

72
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:50.280
<v Speaker 1>I insane? Am I losing my mind? All right? I

73
00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.400
<v Speaker 1>guess we got to pay attention to Max Amini. Respect

74
00:03:53.599 --> 00:03:56.159
<v Speaker 1>and fine, I'm an old man. Call me whatever you want.

75
00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm just I'm stunned right now, which is why I

76
00:03:58.360 --> 00:04:01.199
<v Speaker 1>don't read these articles in advance. I'm just done, Okay,

77
00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:05.520
<v Speaker 1>Number two Leanne Morgan, Leanne, I've heard of She's in

78
00:04:05.599 --> 00:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>the news all the time. Number three Josh Johnson again

79
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>makes sense. Is Josh in the mainstream press every day? No?

80
00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:16.000
<v Speaker 1>But is he in the comedy press a lot? Yes?

81
00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:20.279
<v Speaker 1>Do the people I interact with regularly mentioned Josh Johnson, Yes,

82
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 1>Maximini not so much. Again, I'm just confused, London writes.

83
00:04:25.560 --> 00:04:28.319
<v Speaker 1>This year, Josh Johnson elevated into the rotating host schedule

84
00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>on The Daily Show. His tours kicked off in January

85
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:33.199
<v Speaker 1>and continues through February with three hundred shows and one

86
00:04:33.240 --> 00:04:36.680
<v Speaker 1>hundred and eleven markets. Is all more impressive that he's

87
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:39.759
<v Speaker 1>done it with zero promoter marketing money. He's gonna play

88
00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:41.920
<v Speaker 1>four sold out shows at the Palladium in London at

89
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:43.759
<v Speaker 1>the end of January, and we'll play five shows of

90
00:04:43.839 --> 00:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>the Beacon in New York City, then five sold out

91
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:50.279
<v Speaker 1>shows at the Chicago Theater on Valentine's Day weekend. Yep. Massive.

92
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.399
<v Speaker 1>He's known for taking the YouTube with his new long

93
00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:54.920
<v Speaker 1>form topical stand up set on a weekly basis. Forty

94
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:56.959
<v Speaker 1>nine of his last fifty videos have reached over a

95
00:04:56.959 --> 00:05:02.560
<v Speaker 1>million views. Absolutely breakout Yearnumber four Ali Sidik again, a

96
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:05.360
<v Speaker 1>name that has come up a lot per Nielsen numbers

97
00:05:05.360 --> 00:05:08.199
<v Speaker 1>reviewed by Deadline. My Two Sons was the third most

98
00:05:08.279 --> 00:05:11.399
<v Speaker 1>viewed special on any platform in the last year. Sadiq

99
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:13.639
<v Speaker 1>is also on the twenty stand ups to keep an

100
00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:16.120
<v Speaker 1>eye on in twenty twenty six. I'm saving that list

101
00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:18.600
<v Speaker 1>for January first. Haven't looked at it yet, but now

102
00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:21.240
<v Speaker 1>I just got spoiled by one of the names. Number

103
00:05:21.279 --> 00:05:24.360
<v Speaker 1>five Jimmy O Yang. Johnny Mac loves Jimmy O Yang.

104
00:05:25.040 --> 00:05:28.199
<v Speaker 1>Deadline deep dives here into Jimmy O Yang's international success.

105
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Good call there. Number six Nurse John. Now, Nurse John

106
00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:33.480
<v Speaker 1>is someone who's been on my radar, but not someone

107
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:35.959
<v Speaker 1>who I talk about on the show. A nurse turned

108
00:05:36.040 --> 00:05:38.920
<v Speaker 1>viral creator and comedian who blew up online with relatable

109
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:43.560
<v Speaker 1>portrayals of life working in healthcare. Number seven Morgan Jay again,

110
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:45.680
<v Speaker 1>a name that has come up a couple times, which

111
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:50.120
<v Speaker 1>is why I'm just totally just bewildered by Maximini And again,

112
00:05:50.120 --> 00:05:52.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe you're all listening to the podcast hitting delete, going

113
00:05:52.759 --> 00:05:54.560
<v Speaker 1>what is wrong with this Johnny Mack guy? But I'm

114
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.120
<v Speaker 1>just bewildered because the name did not come up this year.

115
00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:59.959
<v Speaker 1>Morgan Jay now has a full live band a company

116
00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:02.839
<v Speaker 1>him at some of his larger shows. This year, Jay

117
00:06:02.879 --> 00:06:05.680
<v Speaker 1>boosted his profile and film and TV with appearances on

118
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:08.639
<v Speaker 1>Apple TV's Stick Opposite Owen Wilson and Mark Marin, and

119
00:06:08.759 --> 00:06:13.199
<v Speaker 1>on NBC's Saint Dennis Medical eight Osco at Cotska. You've

120
00:06:13.240 --> 00:06:15.279
<v Speaker 1>heard me talk about her for the past few years.

121
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Good call there. Number nine Moe Ammer. I'm a big fan.

122
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:22.600
<v Speaker 1>I've liked all of his specials and as I always say,

123
00:06:22.639 --> 00:06:25.000
<v Speaker 1>he's got something to say. I like him a lot.

124
00:06:25.519 --> 00:06:29.439
<v Speaker 1>Ten three time guests. John Marco Soiresi still comes on

125
00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:32.560
<v Speaker 1>the show, hasn't. Jim Gaffigan me cool guy. I've been

126
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:34.560
<v Speaker 1>a follower since I saw him at New Faces and

127
00:06:34.680 --> 00:06:37.519
<v Speaker 1>he's hilarious, and you watched his YouTube special, and I

128
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:40.759
<v Speaker 1>think we all love John Marco Siresi. Number eleven on

129
00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:44.040
<v Speaker 1>Deadlines list. Robbie Hoffman, yep, like I said, once I

130
00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.800
<v Speaker 1>saw Mulaney was producing her special, I was like, all right,

131
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I got a beef up on Robbie Hoffman and I

132
00:06:48.519 --> 00:06:50.720
<v Speaker 1>became a big time believer, and I think a lot

133
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:53.439
<v Speaker 1>of you became big time believers when you watch that special.

134
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.839
<v Speaker 1>Robbie Hoffman is fantastic. I mean the trivia guys have

135
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.199
<v Speaker 1>conversations with me about Robbie Hoffman at the Brewery. Umber

136
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.720
<v Speaker 1>twelve Caleb Hearn not my cup of tea, but sure.

137
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:06.160
<v Speaker 1>His top episode of his podcast reached over five million

138
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:09.240
<v Speaker 1>viewers on YouTube. That's not how podcasts work, don't get

139
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Johnny Max started on podcasts versus YouTube shows. You listen

<v Speaker 1>hear me rand about that. On number thirteen, jeff Ercurrie.

142
00:07:18.879 --> 00:07:20.480
<v Speaker 1>All right, let's see what they say here. The other

143
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:22.920
<v Speaker 1>comic who won twenty twenty five, who was part of

144
00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:24.839
<v Speaker 1>our twenty twenty four Comics to Watch the list is

145
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:28.120
<v Speaker 1>jeff Er Currie, who recently completed a nine sold out

146
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:31.079

147
00:07:31.720 --> 00:07:34.079

149
00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:38.519
<v Speaker 1>to donate one dollar for every ticket sold on the

150
00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:41.920
<v Speaker 1>tour to breast cancer research. Recently, he taped a Netflix

151
00:07:41.920 --> 00:07:45.399
<v Speaker 1>special during five shows at the Celebrity Theater. Number fourteen.

152
00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:50.680
<v Speaker 1>Zakir Khan, India's Zakir Khan leveled up from theaters to arenas,

153
00:07:51.279 --> 00:07:53.959
<v Speaker 1>going from playing the theater at MSG to Madison Square

154
00:07:53.959 --> 00:07:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Garden itself. He did CON this year, became the first

155
00:07:57.279 --> 00:08:00.560
<v Speaker 1>comedian performing in Hindi to play Madison Square Garden, New York,

156
00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:04.000
<v Speaker 1>as well as Scotiabank Arena Toronto twice and the Coca

157
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:06.519
<v Speaker 1>Cola Arena in Dubai. He's also the first Asian comedian

158
00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:09.279
<v Speaker 1>in a headline and sold out Royal Albert Hall in London.

159
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:14.360
<v Speaker 1>Really really fantastic list by Deadline here, great job, and

160
00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:17.279
<v Speaker 1>I think it's just illustrative of just how much comedy

161
00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:19.160
<v Speaker 1>is out there. I meane, a couple of those names,

162
00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:21.879
<v Speaker 1>I imagine we're off your radar, clearly, some of them

163
00:08:21.879 --> 00:08:25.160
<v Speaker 1>off my radar. Really, really great job by Deadline. All right,

164
00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:26.759
<v Speaker 1>let's take the break and then I've got a different

165
00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.680
<v Speaker 1>list for you. I've been sitting on this one, and

166
00:08:29.800 --> 00:08:33.080
<v Speaker 1>this list came out well well before the murder of

167
00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:36.799
<v Speaker 1>Rob Reiner. This from the Boston Globe. They were ranking

168
00:08:36.840 --> 00:08:40.679
<v Speaker 1>the top ten network sitcoms of all time, and their

169
00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:43.480
<v Speaker 1>headline was All the Family Seinfeld ranking the top ten

170
00:08:43.480 --> 00:08:45.960
<v Speaker 1>networks it comes of all time. So I'm just pointing

171
00:08:45.960 --> 00:08:48.279
<v Speaker 1>out the timeline there to show it. Whatever is to

172
00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:52.320
<v Speaker 1>come here was not influenced by the Reiner Murders's see

173
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:55.720
<v Speaker 1>what the Boston Globe says. Here are the criteria rules.

174
00:08:55.720 --> 00:08:59.559
<v Speaker 1>Network only thirty minutes strictly comedy. I love Freaks and Geeks,

175
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:01.919
<v Speaker 1>but it was one show. I also love kerb but

176
00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:04.759
<v Speaker 1>it was part of HBO, which, as the old catchphrase

177
00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:07.799
<v Speaker 1>told us, wasn't even TV. All right. The Globe says

178
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:11.679
<v Speaker 1>they've tried to avoid recently bias, and here is their list.

179
00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:15.519
<v Speaker 1>Number ten Good Time CBS nineteen seventy four to seventy nine.

180
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.840
<v Speaker 1>It's easy and not unfair to dismiss Jimmy Walker's dyno

181
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:21.960
<v Speaker 1>mites antics as a modern da appendage to minstrelsy. But

182
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:23.759
<v Speaker 1>consider how radical it was to put on a show

183
00:09:23.799 --> 00:09:26.200
<v Speaker 1>about life in the Chicago projects, created by two black

184
00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.320
<v Speaker 1>men on a primetime network in nineteen seventy four, and

185
00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:32.039
<v Speaker 1>that gospel funk theme song. Hard to front any of that,

186
00:09:32.080 --> 00:09:36.279
<v Speaker 1>all right. Number nine The Office NBC twenty five to

187
00:09:36.279 --> 00:09:38.759
<v Speaker 1>twenty thirteen. I imagine if you listen to this podcast

188
00:09:38.759 --> 00:09:40.679
<v Speaker 1>every day, you are familiar with the Office, so I

189
00:09:40.720 --> 00:09:42.720
<v Speaker 1>won't bog down on that. But it's crazy to have

190
00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:46.039
<v Speaker 1>the office behind Abbot Elementary ABC, twenty twenty one to

191
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:48.759
<v Speaker 1>the present. The Globe Rights, but Abbot moves towards the

192
00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:51.679
<v Speaker 1>top of the class, largely through the easeful, good humored way.

193
00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:54.519
<v Speaker 1>It addresses the perils facing public education. So were you

194
00:09:54.519 --> 00:09:57.200
<v Speaker 1>saying the office walk so Abbot could run? On? Number

195
00:09:57.240 --> 00:10:01.080
<v Speaker 1>seven The Honeymoons, CBS nineteen fifty five to fifty six,

196
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:04.120
<v Speaker 1>So they're including the classic Honeymooners. There there's a if

197
00:10:04.159 --> 00:10:06.080
<v Speaker 1>you deep dive on the Honeymooners. There's a lot of

198
00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:10.639
<v Speaker 1>later episodes and like TV movies and weird stuff. Number

199
00:10:10.679 --> 00:10:14.200
<v Speaker 1>six Cheers, NBC, nineteen eighty two to nineteen ninety three.

200
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:16.799
<v Speaker 1>The Globe Rights. Yes, I'd get run out of Boston

201
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:19.399
<v Speaker 1>if I didn't include Sam Alone and his beloved bar.

202
00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Number five The Simpsons. Is The Simpsons a sitcom? Interesting?

203
00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:27.639
<v Speaker 1>I guess we could argue that I don't feel like

204
00:10:27.639 --> 00:10:30.159
<v Speaker 1>The Simpsons is a sitcom. I feel like it's a cartoon.

205
00:10:30.159 --> 00:10:33.080
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that's its own thing. Number four All

206
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:35.799
<v Speaker 1>in the Family, CBS from nineteen seventy one to seventy nine.

207
00:10:36.279 --> 00:10:38.919
<v Speaker 1>Debates raged over where the series was lampooning a bigot

208
00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:41.559
<v Speaker 1>or celebrating him all in the family matter and known

209
00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:44.480
<v Speaker 1>a way that few, if any other sitcoms have. Number

210
00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:47.799
<v Speaker 1>three The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Now, if you ever

211
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.639
<v Speaker 1>go back and watch that, that has aged really well.

212
00:10:50.759 --> 00:10:53.080
<v Speaker 1>They point out that Ted Knights Ted Baxter was Ron

213
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:57.399
<v Speaker 1>Burgundy before Ron Burgundy really really well said, I'm gonna

214
00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:01.720
<v Speaker 1>steal that line next time. I'm about my love of

215
00:11:01.759 --> 00:11:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Will Ferrell movies. Boy, that that is a great, great, great,

216
00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:12.200
<v Speaker 1>great great point about Will Ferrell. Wow, Yes, okay, love it.

217
00:11:13.080 --> 00:11:16.720
<v Speaker 1>Number two Seinfeld NBC from nineteen eighty nine to nineteen

218
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:19.360
<v Speaker 1>ninety eight. And I was going to sit here and

219
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:22.039
<v Speaker 1>wonder and speculate what they would have at number one,

220
00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>and then my eyes went down and I accidentally spoiled myself.

221
00:11:25.039 --> 00:11:27.200
<v Speaker 1>So I know the answer. But how about you? What

222
00:11:27.240 --> 00:11:30.080
<v Speaker 1>do you think? What haven't we mentioned yet? I'm just

223
00:11:30.080 --> 00:11:34.360
<v Speaker 1>trying to rack my brain here, Happy Days mash. What

224
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:36.720
<v Speaker 1>else do people like? People like Parks and rec people

225
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:41.000
<v Speaker 1>like thirty Rock Raymond, people like that one. Nope, they

226
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:44.159
<v Speaker 1>have as number one. I Love Lucy from CBS from

227
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:47.879
<v Speaker 1>nineteen fifty one to nineteen fifty seven. Again can't argue

228
00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:50.000
<v Speaker 1>with the pick. But on the other hand, we've been

229
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:53.559
<v Speaker 1>doing TV now for another seventy years and no one's

230
00:11:53.600 --> 00:11:55.679
<v Speaker 1>been able to do better than I Love Lucy. That

231
00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:59.759
<v Speaker 1>in itself says something they write. It's the fountain head

232
00:11:59.759 --> 00:12:01.679
<v Speaker 1>of the sho genre. Not the first sitcom, but the

233
00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:04.200
<v Speaker 1>one that showed how it's done. It still helps that

234
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:07.399
<v Speaker 1>it's still very, very funny. Okay. I won't lose my

235
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:09.480
<v Speaker 1>mind about that list. That list is not awful. I'm

236
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:10.879
<v Speaker 1>sure if I sat here and thought about it and

237
00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:14.960
<v Speaker 1>made a list out of a different list, but not crazy. Okay,

238
00:12:15.000 --> 00:12:18.159
<v Speaker 1>And as weekend filler goes, I enjoyed today's episode. I

239
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.080
<v Speaker 1>hope you did too. Tomorrow a look at the top

240
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:25.200
<v Speaker 1>twenty five stand up comedians of the twenty first century

241
00:12:25.399 --> 00:12:28.440
<v Speaker 1>so far. I've got some thoughts. Meet you back here tomorrow.
