Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm Johnny Mack with Today's daily
Speaker 1: comedy Newskat Williams was the guest on THEO Vaughan's podcast.
Speaker 1: Cat told THEO that black people would be honored to
Speaker 1: have Theo Vaughn reincarnated as a black man. Kat said,
Speaker 1: as a black guy, would be honored to have you
Speaker 1: come through our path. They started talking about everything from
Speaker 1: fitness routines to religion reincarnation. THEO said, I think about
Speaker 1: that a lot, about what it would be like to
Speaker 1: live different ethnicities, Like if I could handle it, if
Speaker 1: I think it was fun. Kat complimented THEO on his
Speaker 1: uniqueness and let THEO know that he does check out
Speaker 1: Theo's podcast. Kat said, you, as a black guy, are
Speaker 1: also not the norm. You're kind of a singular. He
Speaker 1: explained why THEO shouldn't jump to become a black guy,
Speaker 1: reasoning that there's a lot that comes with it. Kat said,
Speaker 1: there's certain things that go along with it. They just
Speaker 1: don't know how you'd handle it until you got a
Speaker 1: big asset and then you got to figure this thing out.
Speaker 1: Everything is different. They discussed fitness. Kat said the secret
Speaker 1: to his fitness regime is the ladies keep me fit.
Speaker 1: I'm heavy into sexual relations. He's got a little more
Speaker 1: to his workouts. I've got a cold plunge at Jacuzzie
Speaker 1: and Asana that they do pretty ritualistically. I've never been
Speaker 1: a gym guy. Kat talked about the time he was
Speaker 1: at a meeting with Harvey Weinstein. Cat claimed that Harvey
Speaker 1: got whatever he wanted. I thought that didn't apply to
Speaker 1: me because I didn't care about anything but ladies and business.
Speaker 1: Then he offered me two actresses like they were playing cards.
Speaker 1: I was just as shocked as anybody about how powerful
Speaker 1: Harvey Weinstein was at the time I was meeting with him,
Speaker 1: how he could not be told no. Last November, Cat
Speaker 1: talked to GQ and said, it's not the year of truth,
Speaker 1: it's the age of truth. It's not that people ain't
Speaker 1: been wanting the truth. E set for the first time ever.
Speaker 1: Whoever them mfors are that would be involved in the Illuminati,
Speaker 1: in the shadow government and all that stuff that really
Speaker 1: exists that really runs the world, all of them is
Speaker 1: eighty to one hundred right now. Kat discussed the potential
Speaker 1: safety risk involved with being candid. Kat said, I'm honored
Speaker 1: to get to say the things I say. When I'm
Speaker 1: saying them, I assume it's gonna work out for the best,
Speaker 1: and I understand if it's for the worst, then I'm
Speaker 1: prepared to handle it as well. Kat has previous claimed
Speaker 1: he was invited to an Illuminati thing with Ludacris. Ludacris
Speaker 1: denied that Kat told THEA what I was attempting to
Speaker 1: do was impossible, So before I do this interview, there
Speaker 1: is no Illuminati. It's just a joke. It's just something
Speaker 1: crazy people talk about. Whatever it is, that's the game.
Speaker 1: If we understood the Internet itself as a government function,
Speaker 1: then how much privacy would you expect. There's also a
Speaker 1: viral video going around where Kat discussed the election currently.
Speaker 1: Kat did this at a tour stop in La on
Speaker 1: January seventeenth. Kat is quoted as saying, it ain't black
Speaker 1: men that like Kamala down. Who was everybody the fls
Speaker 1: Nobody voted for this B word women don't vote for her.
Speaker 1: Indians didn't vote for her. Jews didn't vote for her.
Speaker 1: She married a Jew and they did not vote for her.
Speaker 1: B words that wanted an abortion didn't vote for her.
Speaker 1: It was sad, sad, sad, They say that Kat Williams
Speaker 1: got more votes and I wasn't even running. They just
Speaker 1: wrote me in. I don't know. I expected more out
Speaker 1: of Kamala. It's one thing to at your butt whooped up.
Speaker 1: You still got to come out. Man. She didn't even
Speaker 1: show the f up for her own She left her
Speaker 1: own sorority out there in the cold. I'll have to
Speaker 1: find an hour to listen to the interview with Kat
Speaker 1: Williams and Theo vaugh from Radar Online. Nicki Glazer has
Speaker 1: been signed to a multi year deal by the Golden Globe,
Speaker 1: but insiders are saying that the contract was only worked
Speaker 1: out after Nicki demanded one million dollars to return his host.
Speaker 1: Radar Online says one million dollars is double what Ricky
Speaker 1: Gervais used to get. A source tells Rader Online Glazer
Speaker 1: initially stunned Hollywood by demanding a jaw dropping one million
Speaker 1: dollars to return next year, but producers ultimately signed her
Speaker 1: to a multi year deal for a much lower figure.
Speaker 1: The deal Nicki originally wanted would have made her the
Speaker 1: highest paid host in Globe's history, surpassing comedy icons Tina
Speaker 1: and Ricky. She's good, but let's be honest. She's not
Speaker 1: vent good, says the insiders. I don't disagree. She was
Speaker 1: asking for more than comedy royalty and that wrote people
Speaker 1: the wrong way. Ricky Gervais has said he would do
Speaker 1: the show for free if organizers held it in London.
Speaker 1: He was asked his price to again, he said free
Speaker 1: if they do it in Hampstead, otherwise two million dollars.
Speaker 1: Ricky hosted in twenty ten, twenty eleven, twenty twelve, twenty
Speaker 1: sixteen and twenty twenty and says it could be the
Speaker 1: Golden Globes could offer me ten million dollars for ten
Speaker 1: minutes work, you know, and I'd be an idiot. I'd
Speaker 1: be a liar to say I wouldn't consider it. But
Speaker 1: at the moment, given I've done it five times, it
Speaker 1: got better and better for me. I enjoyed them all,
Speaker 1: but it got better and I'm planning never to do
Speaker 1: it again. I've asked them not to ask me because
Speaker 1: I can be persuaded that's true. You know, it's not
Speaker 1: a principle. I'm not sure Jason Kelsey's ESPN late night
Speaker 1: show is doing that well. Late Night of reports had
Speaker 1: hit a new ratings low Friday Night, drawing only one
Speaker 1: hundred and ten thousand total viewers. That's less than a
Speaker 1: third of the audience it drew the week before, and
Speaker 1: eighty seven percent down from its ratings high on January tenth.
Speaker 1: Late Nighter says ratings were down among younger viewers, with
Speaker 1: just fifty one thousand viewers aged eighteen to forty nine.
Speaker 1: Kelsey's guest on Friday's show included Jim Gaffigan. You may
Speaker 1: recall he told a quote hilarious story that I didn't
Speaker 1: find so funny Late Night or is being fair here?
Speaker 1: They point out that a line can be drawn from
Speaker 1: the show's huge rating swings to what the lead in is.
Speaker 1: For example, on January twenty fifth, the lead in was
Speaker 1: the X Games, that had an average of two hundred
Speaker 1: and forty four thousand total viewers. On January tenth, the
Speaker 1: night of Kelsey's ratings high, twenty million viewers watched the
Speaker 1: Cotton Bowl one point six million. Stuck around for his
Speaker 1: lead in, Well, yeah, I mean, you could put this
Speaker 1: podcast on after the super Bowl. It'll get a number.
Speaker 1: I don't know how week two will do, but yeah,
Speaker 1: that's how it works, guys. Vulture has a big piece
Speaker 1: with Bobby moynihan. I'll just pick up the SNL stuff.
Speaker 1: It's lengthy, just nothing there really grabbed me. They were
Speaker 1: curious for Bobby outside of SNL, what were his big
Speaker 1: sketch influences growing up? Moynihan said, I remember feeling cool
Speaker 1: when I found out what mister show was. SNL led
Speaker 1: me to that or the State. Then eventually it was
Speaker 1: the UCBTV show that I loved. I was walking down
Speaker 1: the street one day. I was doing an off Broadway
Speaker 1: show after college, going like I'm going to be an
Speaker 1: actor on stage, and I saw the UCB symbol above
Speaker 1: a door, walked in, bought a ticket, saw the show,
Speaker 1: and never left. They asked him if he wished he
Speaker 1: had stayed on the show longer than his nine seasons.
Speaker 1: I can't believe he was on nine seasons. He says, yes,
Speaker 1: I would have stayed. I would have happily been keenan
Speaker 1: if I had the wherewithal and if I had children earlier, whatever,
Speaker 1: just to look Lord in the face and go, hey man,
Speaker 1: I'll stay here forever. That being said, I'm glad, I'm done.
Speaker 1: I went back a couple of years later to do
Speaker 1: David pumpkins and drunk uncle, and it was flipping a
Speaker 1: switch on that hadn't been turned on for years. I
Speaker 1: realized what I went through those nine years, and I
Speaker 1: was like, whoa, you realize what it was like and
Speaker 1: how harted just to do that show. We're not fireman,
Speaker 1: but we're still working hard. By the way, Tom Poppa's
Speaker 1: podcast is getting some really good guests. Now I have
Speaker 1: to catch up on I have downloaded but not listened
Speaker 1: to yet. I'm busy. David tell Gaff again, Paul Reiser,
Speaker 1: Anthony Justin, and Henry Winkler I have not downloaded yet,
Speaker 1: but also cool guest Leanne Morgan or Shafir, Ronnie Chang,
Speaker 1: Lisa Kudro and I know I ended on an up
Speaker 1: inflection there, but I got to the bottom of my list.
Speaker 1: I thought it was gonna scroll some warp. Anyway, Tom
Speaker 1: Papa's podcast is breaking a bread. I was correct. Bill
Speaker 1: Ngvall has unretired. Bill had planned to retire to golf
Speaker 1: with his wife. She got better and got three holes
Speaker 1: in one during his retirement. Bill said, after the third one,
Speaker 1: I called my maiden and said, let's book some dates.
Speaker 1: I missed it. I missed the performances, and you can
Speaker 1: only play golf so much. In hindsight, I should have
Speaker 1: just taken a break instead of making a big announcement.
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody would have known the difference, but
Speaker 1: it is what it is. I've decided to come back,
Speaker 1: but on a more limited scale. Before I retired, I
Speaker 1: was doing sixty to seventy shows a year. Now I'm
Speaker 1: going back to twenty to thirty. That's what Larry the
Speaker 1: Cable Guy said. Recently. Bill talked about the heyday of
Speaker 1: Blue Collar. We weren't doing one hundred and twenty dates
Speaker 1: a year, but when you add that tour to your
Speaker 1: individual touring schedules, it became a lot. Ron bailed early.
Speaker 1: He wanted to do his own stuff, and we get that,
Speaker 1: but I don't think we ever got tired of it.
Speaker 1: I was always open to coming back, especially for the
Speaker 1: twenty year reunion. We had a great time. It was
Speaker 1: during that period. Bill was in three films, launched a
Speaker 1: serious satellite radio station. I was in charge of that.
Speaker 1: I loved working with those guys. That's me Hi, and
Speaker 1: he was in the WB comedy sketch series Blue Collar TV.
Speaker 1: Bill says he's uneasy about modern culture. I worry about
Speaker 1: us as a humanity. It seems like we can't buy
Speaker 1: anything unless it salts us by some cartoon character. We
Speaker 1: have a lizard that tries to sell us insurance in
Speaker 1: a talking box that tells me when I get my
Speaker 1: colon checked. That's one of the things that scares me.
Speaker 1: Bill also shared when he was on Dancing with the
Speaker 1: Stars in twenty thirteen, he got engaged in an argument
Speaker 1: on Twitter with a viewer who accused him of advancing unfairly.
Speaker 1: Bill tweeted him back and said, look, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: you know how this show business thing works, but this
Speaker 1: is not how it works. I don't walk in on
Speaker 1: Monday and say, hey, I don't know who's getting kicked
Speaker 1: off this week, but it's not me, and the TV
Speaker 1: executives go okay, Bill, you're still good. Let it go, man.
Speaker 1: It's a dance show. It's not like I'm affecting your income.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon made his Broadway debut. He's in the current
Speaker 1: cast of All In Comedy About Love. That's the thing
Speaker 1: that mulaney had been. In the current cast, Lynn Manuel, Miranda,
Speaker 1: Adie Bryant, Jimmy Fallon, and Nick Kroll. That group will
Speaker 1: be together until February second. Lynn is going to stick
Speaker 1: around with the next cast until February sixteenth. Speaking of
Speaker 1: Broadway just for laughs and sign on as the co
Speaker 1: producer of the Broadway musical Real Women Have Curves that'll
Speaker 1: begin previews on April first. They're building up a company there.
Speaker 1: There's just for laughs and just for entertainment, and now
Speaker 1: they're doing this Broadway thing. I'll keep an eye on
Speaker 1: that and things you shouldn't say out loud. Where did
Speaker 1: the story about the Nazi guy go? I knew something
Speaker 1: was gonna be the last story here and it has
Speaker 1: disappeared from my notes. Where'd it go? Ah? Here it is.
Speaker 1: Australian comedian Tom Ballard has been slammed after performing what
Speaker 1: appeared to be a Nazi salute during a stand up show.
Speaker 1: There is a still image of comedian Tom Ballard with
Speaker 1: his hand outstretched. And I heard somebody else say, I
Speaker 1: forget who said this. You can hold out your hand
Speaker 1: with one finger or two fingers, but you can't hold
Speaker 1: out your whole hand. Well, he's got his whole hand out.
Speaker 1: He was at the Basement Comedy Club in Melbourne's Saturday
Speaker 1: Night Some members of the audience shared the footage with
Speaker 1: the media. His bit apparently started with him saying you
Speaker 1: can't do anything in Australia and the position of a
Speaker 1: person's hand when they waved a greeting it someone was
Speaker 1: central to whether they were breaking the law. Nazi symbols
Speaker 1: and gestures were banned by the Victorian government in October
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three to quote send a clear message that
Speaker 1: Nazi ideology and the hate it represents is not tolerated
Speaker 1: in Victoria. That's your comedy news for today. If you
Speaker 1: enjoy the show, tell a friend about it. They might
Speaker 1: like it too. If you would like the show without commercials.
Speaker 1: If you're on Apple Podcasts, there's a banner there. It
Speaker 1: says uninterrupted listening. Click on that you get a thirty
Speaker 1: day free trial no commercials for thirty days and then
Speaker 1: you know when it gets to the end. If you
