00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:11.519
<v Speaker 1>Kalaroga Shark Media Pure Jommy Mac with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:11.560 --> 00:00:14.519
<v Speaker 1>The Daily Mail wrote an article about the top earning

3
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:17.559
<v Speaker 1>comedians and put some dollar amounts to it. Actually, they

4
00:00:17.559 --> 00:00:20.039
<v Speaker 1>put pounds amounts to it, and I threw it into

5
00:00:20.199 --> 00:00:24.559
<v Speaker 1>chat GPT and roughly translated the pounds into US dollars

6
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:27.160
<v Speaker 1>in case you're curious. In this case, we used an

7
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.559
<v Speaker 1>exchange rate of one British pound to one dollar twenty

8
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:35.079
<v Speaker 1>seven US dollars. Not crazy off. Your exchange rate may

9
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:37.759
<v Speaker 1>differ anyway. According to the Daily Mail, the top earning

10
00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:40.840
<v Speaker 1>comedians of twenty twenty four, I'll start with number eleven.

11
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why they did eleven. Number eleven. They

12
00:00:43.039 --> 00:00:47.399
<v Speaker 1>have Michael McIntyre at twelve point seven million. Number ten,

13
00:00:47.759 --> 00:00:51.039
<v Speaker 1>Andrew Schultz sixteen and a half million. Number nine, Jeff

14
00:00:51.119 --> 00:00:56.000
<v Speaker 1>Dunham quietly going about his business nineteen million dollars shockingly low.

15
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:57.799
<v Speaker 1>Where do you hear these next two names? Okay? So

16
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:01.320
<v Speaker 1>number eight is Kevin Hart. You know Kevin Hart who

17
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:05.239
<v Speaker 1>like starts a new business like twice a day. Kevin

18
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:09.359
<v Speaker 1>Hart quote unquote only twenty one point five to nine million. Now,

19
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:12.719
<v Speaker 1>why that's interesting to me is number seven Joe Koy.

20
00:01:13.120 --> 00:01:15.920
<v Speaker 1>You may recall Joe Coy also the Golden Globes over

21
00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:17.400
<v Speaker 1>a year ago. I'm not going to bring that up,

22
00:01:17.439 --> 00:01:20.959
<v Speaker 1>Scott back at relaxed. But Joe Coy earned twenty five

23
00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>point four million dollars, So according to the Daily Mail,

24
00:01:23.920 --> 00:01:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Joe Koy is making more money than Kevin Hart. How

25
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.040
<v Speaker 1>is that possible? Number six Trevor Noah twenty six point

26
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:33.200
<v Speaker 1>six five, Bert Kreischer also at twenty six point six.

27
00:01:33.799 --> 00:01:37.079
<v Speaker 1>Number four, Peter Kay at thirty four point twenty nine million.

28
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Number three Seinfeld Jerry brought in thirty nine point three million.

29
00:01:41.120 --> 00:01:45.319
<v Speaker 1>Number two Sebastian Maniscalco big successful tour, okay, forty eight

30
00:01:45.319 --> 00:01:48.480
<v Speaker 1>point twenty six million, and number one you want to

31
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>take a guess here, and it's a shocking difference. According

32
00:01:51.680 --> 00:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>to the Daily Mail again they have Sebastian at forty

33
00:01:53.799 --> 00:01:57.879
<v Speaker 1>eight point twenty six at number one with seventy one

34
00:01:58.159 --> 00:02:01.159
<v Speaker 1>point one two million, so that's you know, twenty five

35
00:02:01.280 --> 00:02:06.400
<v Speaker 1>million more loose math. Number one Nateperghetzi. Wow, yeah, I

36
00:02:06.439 --> 00:02:09.599
<v Speaker 1>mean Nate had a big tour, but Nate quietly became

37
00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:11.879
<v Speaker 1>a monster. I think everybody's aware of him. Now, but

38
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.080
<v Speaker 1>I had no idea he was making that much money.

39
00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Nate is making I don't know, forty percent more. I'm

40
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:19.639
<v Speaker 1>doing loose math in my head. Forty percent more than

41
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.199
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Seinfeld. I still don't see how Joe coy is

42
00:02:22.199 --> 00:02:25.400
<v Speaker 1>making more than Kevin Hart, but okay. Meanwhile, bill Board

43
00:02:25.599 --> 00:02:28.599
<v Speaker 1>shared the top ten highest grossing comedy tours of twenty

44
00:02:28.680 --> 00:02:32.039
<v Speaker 1>twenty four. They say the top comedy acts collectively grossed

45
00:02:32.039 --> 00:02:34.360
<v Speaker 1>a record breaking three hundred and ninety six point seven

46
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:37.000
<v Speaker 1>million dollars, up fifty two percent from the year before.

47
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:39.599
<v Speaker 1>I'll go in the other direction. Here they have a

48
00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:42.560
<v Speaker 1>number one Nates, grossing eighty two point two million dollars

49
00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:45.319
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and forty eight shows with one point one

50
00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:48.560
<v Speaker 1>million people going to see him, Number thirty seven overall

51
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:51.159
<v Speaker 1>on the all genre ranks. So I assume that includes

52
00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:54.319
<v Speaker 1>Taylor Swift, for example, at number two, Number two two,

53
00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>where Matt Riiche grossed fifty seven and a half million

54
00:02:56.879 --> 00:02:59.479
<v Speaker 1>sold seven hundred and thirty three thousand tickets across two

55
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:03.240
<v Speaker 1>hundred fifty six shows. Gab Iglesias another one of those

56
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:05.879
<v Speaker 1>quiet monsters. Maybe not this week because he's in the news,

57
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.039
<v Speaker 1>but he grossed forty two point eight million, sold six

58
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:11.319
<v Speaker 1>hundred three thousand tickets hundred twenty four shows. Kat Williams

59
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:13.719
<v Speaker 1>gross thirty seven and a half million, selling almost four

60
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:17.159
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand tickets sixty shows. Sebastian gross thirty six and

61
00:03:17.159 --> 00:03:19.800
<v Speaker 1>a half million, selling two hundred ninety three thousand tickets

62
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:23.080
<v Speaker 1>in fifty three shows. Krayzier twenty nine point seven million,

63
00:03:23.080 --> 00:03:25.319
<v Speaker 1>three hundred and eighty eight thousand tickets sixty four shows,

64
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Trevor twenty nine point seven three hundred ninety two thousand,

65
00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.000
<v Speaker 1>ninety four shows, Jerry twenty seven point eight almost two

66
00:03:31.039 --> 00:03:34.560
<v Speaker 1>hundred thousand tickets thirty six shows, Adam Sandler twenty seven

67
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.759
<v Speaker 1>million dollars selling two hundred and sixty one thousand tickets

68
00:03:37.759 --> 00:03:41.879
<v Speaker 1>and twenty six shows, and number ten Joe Coy Maybe

69
00:03:41.879 --> 00:03:43.759
<v Speaker 1>he should host the Golden Globes, giveing more than nine

70
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:45.879
<v Speaker 1>days to prepare, and don't invite you know who with

71
00:03:45.960 --> 00:03:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the icy's there. Joe Koy gross twenty six millions, sold

72
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:51.919
<v Speaker 1>three hundred and sixty eight thousand tickets in eighty three shows.

73
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:55.159
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of Gabeglacias, earlier in the week before the fires,

74
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>he was profiled by the La Times. He shared that

75
00:03:57.879 --> 00:03:59.680
<v Speaker 1>the title of his new special was supposed to be

76
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:01.879
<v Speaker 1>hard Rock Fluffy because he shot the special the Hard

77
00:04:01.919 --> 00:04:03.719
<v Speaker 1>Rock in Miami. Everybody was on board with it. Then

78
00:04:03.800 --> 00:04:06.199
<v Speaker 1>we got a call from Netflix, who said, there's money

79
00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:07.879
<v Speaker 1>to be made on this and you can't be promoting

80
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:09.439
<v Speaker 1>other brands. They didn't like the fact that I was

81
00:04:09.439 --> 00:04:11.599
<v Speaker 1>promoting hard Rock and Netflix, and they're like, well, if

82
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:13.719
<v Speaker 1>something like that's gonna happen, there needs to be compensation

83
00:04:13.759 --> 00:04:15.520
<v Speaker 1>for it. I'm like, it's cool, I'm there, I play

84
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:17.399
<v Speaker 1>the hard Rocks. It helps me out. And they're like, no,

85
00:04:17.480 --> 00:04:19.600
<v Speaker 1>he can't do it. So then, to be a jerk,

86
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:21.720
<v Speaker 1>I was like, all right, what about rock hard Fluffy,

87
00:04:21.800 --> 00:04:23.399
<v Speaker 1>you know, to try and open up the audience a little.

88
00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:24.800
<v Speaker 1>But no, they didn't go with that either. They gave

89
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.639
<v Speaker 1>you about eight different titles, but they sucked. Finally, we

90
00:04:27.759 --> 00:04:29.759
<v Speaker 1>landed on Legend of Fluffy because I figured there's a

91
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of pieces in the special that have to do

92
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:32.680
<v Speaker 1>with the amount of time we've been doing this. And

93
00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:34.360
<v Speaker 1>I was a big gamer back in the day. I

94
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.560
<v Speaker 1>had my Gold cartridge, so I liked Legend of Zelda.

95
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:38.000
<v Speaker 1>So I said, let me just play with that a

96
00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:40.439
<v Speaker 1>little bit. So that's why the special is called Legend

97
00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:44.240
<v Speaker 1>of Fluffy Switching Gears. Gabe shared that a few years ago,

98
00:04:44.279 --> 00:04:46.519
<v Speaker 1>a buddy of his has told him your generational talent.

99
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:48.480
<v Speaker 1>I said, what's that even mean? He said, you got

100
00:04:48.519 --> 00:04:50.839
<v Speaker 1>all these different generations coming out to see you. People

101
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:52.439
<v Speaker 1>that were kids the first time they saw you, and

102
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:55.160
<v Speaker 1>now they're adults and some are bringing their kids. I'm like,

103
00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:57.199
<v Speaker 1>that sounds weird, and I'm like, oh, I used to

104
00:04:57.199 --> 00:04:59.120
<v Speaker 1>have hair, so it's really really cool to see that.

105
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I think it's really beautiful that people come out and

106
00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:02.639
<v Speaker 1>tell me I grew up watching you. Every time they

107
00:05:02.639 --> 00:05:04.720
<v Speaker 1>say that, another gray hair comes out of my beard

108
00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.360
<v Speaker 1>and another hair falls out of my head. All right,

109
00:05:07.480 --> 00:05:09.519
<v Speaker 1>some political stuff here in the second half. If you

110
00:05:09.560 --> 00:05:12.199
<v Speaker 1>don't want to deal with the politics, you are dismissed.

111
00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:14.160
<v Speaker 1>I understand. But I've got a bunch of stories that

112
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:17.079
<v Speaker 1>pair up nicely. Let's start with Jim Gaffigan, and he

113
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:20.279
<v Speaker 1>was on the Last Laugh podcast. He shared, I regret

114
00:05:20.279 --> 00:05:22.639
<v Speaker 1>that people think I was criticizing people that support Trump.

115
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:25.480
<v Speaker 1>That was never the intention. Jim says he doesn't regret

116
00:05:25.560 --> 00:05:27.959
<v Speaker 1>publicly going against Trump, but acknowledges that he might have

117
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:30.680
<v Speaker 1>lost some fans. Jim said, I also do acknowledge that

118
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:33.319
<v Speaker 1>there were true, diehard Trump fans who probably enjoyed my comedy,

119
00:05:33.319 --> 00:05:35.959
<v Speaker 1>but because they feel so passionately, they'll never forgive me.

120
00:05:36.240 --> 00:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>According to Jim, the back last year received for criticizing

121
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Trump was noticeable, but didn't affect him that much. I

122
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:43.319
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't say it was measurable, but there were definitely comments

123
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.199
<v Speaker 1>on social media, and there are still some. Bill Maher

124
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:49.600
<v Speaker 1>revealed his issue with the Democrats and revealed the main

125
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:52.439
<v Speaker 1>reason he goes after woke liberals more often now. He says,

126
00:05:52.480 --> 00:05:54.240
<v Speaker 1>you give me more material. I'm a comedian. I'm gonna

127
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.480
<v Speaker 1>go where the gold is. The Democrats can't stand. I

128
00:05:57.519 --> 00:05:59.240
<v Speaker 1>have to endure a moment of hearing something they don't

129
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:01.160
<v Speaker 1>already agree with. Not that the right doesn't do it too,

130
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.480
<v Speaker 1>but the left does it worse. Everything with these people

131
00:06:03.560 --> 00:06:06.279
<v Speaker 1>has to be an opportunity for virtual signaling. Bill says

132
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:08.319
<v Speaker 1>some Democrats have cut off their friendship with him because

133
00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:10.639
<v Speaker 1>he's had on people like Anne Culter, Bill Barr, and

134
00:06:10.680 --> 00:06:13.680
<v Speaker 1>Ted Cruz, And he says, just think about what this is.

135
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:16.519
<v Speaker 1>That's people who hate me. For who I won't hate.

136
00:06:16.759 --> 00:06:19.079
<v Speaker 1>It's in their psychological profile. They just have this need

137
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:20.959
<v Speaker 1>for virtual signaling. And I have their friends, and I

138
00:06:20.959 --> 00:06:22.839
<v Speaker 1>guess everybody on social media thinking of them as the

139
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:24.759
<v Speaker 1>good guys. We're the good people. We know who's good,

140
00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:28.480
<v Speaker 1>and it's us. He also criticized the youngins, saying they

141
00:06:28.480 --> 00:06:31.920
<v Speaker 1>have no perspective, quoting mar They've been indoctrinated into this

142
00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:33.399
<v Speaker 1>idea that they live in the worst country in the

143
00:06:33.439 --> 00:06:35.600
<v Speaker 1>world at the worst time in history, when actually they

144
00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:38.199
<v Speaker 1>live in with all our flaws, still probably the best

145
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:41.839
<v Speaker 1>with definitely indisputably the best time in history. What America

146
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:43.639
<v Speaker 1>needs as a colonic Would Trump be the man I

147
00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:45.800
<v Speaker 1>choose first to administer it. No, but I'd like to

148
00:06:45.800 --> 00:06:48.879
<v Speaker 1>see what he and Elon Musker could do. Many Republicans say,

149
00:06:48.879 --> 00:06:51.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe we can get Bill Maher. Now you can't. What

150
00:06:51.120 --> 00:06:53.160
<v Speaker 1>you can get is Bill Mooher being honest about the left.

151
00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:54.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to join your team that doesn't believe

152
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.160
<v Speaker 1>in democracy. And he has a message for Kamala Harris,

153
00:06:57.199 --> 00:07:00.360
<v Speaker 1>saying you'll lost a crazy contest to an actual crazy person.

154
00:07:00.480 --> 00:07:05.920
<v Speaker 1>Congratulates Meanwhile, Whitney Cummings commented on the political left. She said,

155
00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I always thought of myself as a pretty liberal person,

156
00:07:08.040 --> 00:07:09.680
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think the left is as liberal as

157
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:11.240
<v Speaker 1>it used to be. It's like the left became the

158
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:13.480
<v Speaker 1>party of censorship. It's just wild to me that we're

159
00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:14.800
<v Speaker 1>in't a time where if you're on the left and

160
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:17.040
<v Speaker 1>you don't criticize your party, how much you even care

161
00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:19.079
<v Speaker 1>about your party? Do you know what I mean? It's

162
00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:20.800
<v Speaker 1>like what's going on the left? I had to say,

163
00:07:20.920 --> 00:07:23.519
<v Speaker 1>I just finally broke chants. If you love your party,

164
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:25.079
<v Speaker 1>you have to be able to criticize it, you know.

165
00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:28.240
<v Speaker 1>And I don't really take sides. She then joked about

166
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:31.480
<v Speaker 1>some hypocrisy, quoting Whitney, my body, my choice, but you

167
00:07:31.560 --> 00:07:34.480
<v Speaker 1>have to take this vaccine and also my body my choice,

168
00:07:34.480 --> 00:07:36.240
<v Speaker 1>pro choice party, but you don't have a choice in

169
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:38.759
<v Speaker 1>your candidate. I'm not an expert on politics, which is

170
00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:40.319
<v Speaker 1>why I've always said I'm not weighing in on it.

171
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:42.480
<v Speaker 1>But I am an expert on hypocrisy. Okay. I was

172
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:45.360
<v Speaker 1>raised by hypocrites, I've dated them, and I know hypocrisy

173
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:47.399
<v Speaker 1>what I see it. And that is your comedy news

174
00:07:47.399 --> 00:07:50.480
<v Speaker 1>for today. Send your letters to Whitney Cummings, Bill Maher

175
00:07:50.800 --> 00:07:53.279
<v Speaker 1>or Jim Gaffigan. I'm just here to tell you what's

176
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:54.560
<v Speaker 1>going on. See you tomorrow.
