Speaker 1: Callaroga Shock Media.
Speaker 2: Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news,
the daily briefing on stand up comedy, comedians and the
comedy industry. A sentence, The algorithm loves Nicky Glazer was
at the time one hundred thing of a jig. She
was the MC. I've got some audio for you, and
my question to you is is she bombing now? To
be very very very fair, the crowd is not miked
well at all, and you can do the best comedy.
If they don't mike the crowd, it will sound like
you're bombing. But even beyond that, and if you listen
closely at times, you will hear the audience laugh. I
think she's bombing here. I think the cool Hollywood people
don't want to accept her, and the cool Hollywood people
know that they don't dare laugh at the jokes. Oh no,
a Katie Perry joke. We better not laugh at that one.
We'll get in trouble. We won't be liked by the
other cool Hollywood people. So this is a tough room,
and I think she bombed. The original was quite long.
I've clipped it down for both pacing and language. Here's
NICKI Glazer.
Speaker 1: Hello everyone, I'm Nicki Glazer and welcome to the Time
one hundred, the one list you actually want to be
on this year. Yes, congratulations to everyone here tonight. This
is such a phenomenal accomplishment for each and every one
of your publicists, truly right. Personally, I am just so
excited to be in the same room with people. My
therapists told me to never compare myself to Donna.
Speaker 3: Was right.
Speaker 1: But I'm your host, Nicki Glazer, and this is such
a thrill. I've of course hosted the Golden Globes, but
this is different because this is time I will never
get back, you know, No, I'm kidding, I'm I'm so
excited to be on this list.
Speaker 3: I am.
Speaker 1: I'm also one of four people on the cover, which
is a quarter of my dream come true. Yes, oh
my god, I can't wait for all my friends family
to see it three years from now in a dentist
waiting room. Well, Tonight's ceremony is different than most stars
studded events because this is an event where the greatest
thinkers in the fields of science and technology are asked
the big questions like who are you wearing? And who
are you Because We're just not celebrating actors here tonight,
you know, but the scientists, scholars, musicians, writers and athletes
that those actors will play hotter versions of in movies.
One of the most impressive people on the list is
Victoria Beckham. Of course, oh my god. She was a
global pop star, now a serious fashion designer. She's married
to David Beckham, She's rich, successful, stunning. What's it gonna
take to get you to smile? I mean, really, please smile.
You're one of the only British people who should. Okay, wow,
But there's just so many impressive people in this room tonight.
But what really blows my mind is that we have
actual astronauts here tonight. It's insane. Yes, these brave people
who risked it all to go up into space and
search for the unknown. And by astronaut, of course, I'm
talking about Gail King, all right, Gail. I love you
so much. Gail, Really though, Gail, you had the courage
to do something that so many people wouldn't have the
guts to do, spend twelve minutes alone with Katy Perry,
and we we thank you for that.
Speaker 2: The other day, Nikki was on Kelly Rippers show, which
is just like the most difficult thing to watch. It's
not my thing at all, and a Verrely, Nicky's skirt
was a little too short. Let's listen. That is just
for you.
Speaker 1: I know, I'm right the barrel.
Speaker 2: Sorry, guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I don't mind at all. Oh god, God,
I'll send you a picture later.
Speaker 2: And then they want on to have more of a conversation,
which I just found nauseating. Let's listen, I realize there's.
Speaker 4: This recent development.
Speaker 2: You have something in common with Pope Leo.
Speaker 1: Finally, finally, I mean we've always both loved hat since
can speak Latin, but it's uh no, we're both one
time one hundred most influential people. Yeah yeah, I me
your cover the Pope and mister Bees.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's extraordinary.
Speaker 1: It's so cool.
Speaker 2: And Nikki Glazer's.
Speaker 3: Babyhood, baby childhood, wildest dreams.
Speaker 2: Do you imagine that?
Speaker 1: Never? I mean, looking at that photo, I'm was just like,
it just feels like one of those you know covers
that you get made at like a carnival. That's like
you can be on time.
Speaker 2: It seems like a joking Nikki, You're posing is really
good there.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much do you do you naturally pose?
Speaker 2: They do you know how to do that stuff?
Speaker 1: That's so deeply uncomfortable. Mark, Oh my gosh, photo shoots.
I think things look that comes so natural, But that
is one photo out of like thousands, you know, and
it's just so uncomfortable because everyone knows just like to
buzz like this, like I can do this, like but
then like in these you have to be like, right,
this is not natural. You just have to think you're
so cool and like it's just I think that's why models,
the models are paid a lot of money because of that.
Speaker 4: They can't do that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, and the maintenance.
Speaker 2: It's much much, much, much funnier. Jimmy Kimmel, So last
night was the White House Correspondents Dinner, and for the
first time in recent memory, they didn't have a comedian
host it, so Kimmel decided to have his own. He
called his the All American White House Correspondents Dinner, and
I have trimmed this down for pacing and also on
ABC Network television. He told the joke that I found
a little too naughty for even this show. Those standards differ.
Gisha curious. He told a joke about uh, I thing
guys like anyway, Here's Jimmy Kimmel live.
Speaker 3: From the Trump Kimmel Sinner, Washington, DC. It's the All
American White House Correspondent's Dinner. You're as your host for
the night, Jimmy Pival.
Speaker 4: All right, by, welcome to the twenty twenty six White
House Correspondence Dinner. Look at you all dressed up in
formal wear, dresses, tuxedos. I haven't seen this much black
since every page of the Trump Epstein files. We're gonna
have fun tonight on and I'm happy you decided to stay,
mister President. And don't worry if we bruise your ego,
it'll only make your hands look less disgusting. That president
didn't want me to tell any jokes about him tonight,
but he also didn't want to pay me one hundred
and thirty thousand dollars to shut up.
Speaker 2: So here we are.
Speaker 4: Sorry, mushroom ice.
Speaker 1: Baby Ice.
Speaker 4: By the way, in the unfortunate event that our president
has a medical emergency tonight, do we have a doctor
in the house? I mean sorry, I mean do we
have a Jesus in the house. I always confuse them too.
I get why you think you're Jesus this guy. Every
time he walks into a room, people say, Christ, he's back.
You're looking good, though, mister President, who did your makeup?
Speaker 3: Craft?
Speaker 4: Singles as the President will tell you repeatedly until you
beg him to stop. President Trump has accomplished so much
during his second term. He passed new incentives for oil
and gas. He put the brakes on solar and wind.
That will be your legacy, sir, breaking wind and passing gas.
Speaker 2: Deadline's keeping an eye on the Netflix is a joke
comedy festival. The Festival Los Angeles may fourth through the tenth.
Deadline's written about this before, but they continue to say
that the festival will be, according to an insider, a
story of the haves and the have nuts. Deadline's update
is one validation of netflix investment in podcasting is the
Pete Davidson Showline and says after getting to low ticket
warnings with the show featuring John Mulaney, Pete Davidson has
booked another at the Wiltrin Theater to feature Nicki Glazer,
but they say that aside, I'm not seeing many more
sellouts on the schedule than I did when we last
checked in. Now this is really interesting, Deadline Rights. Strangely,
some of the biggest, more key names in comedy are
those with the most tickets left to sell as of now,
and this was middle of last week. Shane Gillis, Louis
c K, and John mulaney are far from selling out
their shows at the Hollywood Bowl. Kat Williams as a
good way to go at the Into It Dome, as
does Nate Berghatzy with his two shows at the venue,
and in particular the May ninth show. More from Deadline,
Seinfeld's sales aren't great for a show featuring Leanne Morgan
and Jim Gaffigan hasn't yet approached selling out the Dolby Wow.
Really weird, right, Deadline Rights. The numbers are puzzling when
you consider all the records comics like Burghetzie and Morgan
are achieving around the world, and as Gillis approaches his
huge homecoming show at Lincoln Financial Field, and it's striking
to assess them in relation to the ticket sales of
younger buzzy common like tren Marco Sarzi and Jeffer Keiy,
who have sold out multiple shows, albeit at much smaller venues.
Very very interesting at some point during the week, I
sat in front of the television and watched Kevin Hartz.
What is that called comedy competition thing? Funny af that's
what it's called, right, Yeah, maybe John you host the
show you tell us Sorry. As I wrote it in
the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast group, it's a
good version of the comedy competition show. I'm a comedy snob.
I struggle with these things. Some of my notes. I
actually ran my Apple watch timer. We're seeing ninety second sets.
You can almost get by on just pure charisma for
ninety seconds. For a lot of these ninety second sets,
you're seeing that it's basically one good joke. There was
one guy, he had a really great joke about bears,
and that kind of stretched out to ninety seconds, and
you know, Okay, that doesn't make you George Carlin, doesn't
make you bad. But like relax, and a lot of
the ninety second sets are edited off. Somebody will get
off a good joke and a good laugh and then
it's just cut to the end, and you could tell
that the set didn't actually end there, or they just
kind of wrap it up. One thing that did make
me happy is if you listen regularly you've heard me
talk about what I describe as the Emperor of Rome syndrome,
which means I have heard so much comedy in my
lifetime that my brain is fried. And I do what
the comedians do, which is in the back of the room,
they're going, Oh, that's really good. That's really funny, but
don't actually laugh. And you'll see that at times, specifically
with Keegan Michael Key sitting at the table with Kevin
Hart just saying oh, really good, really good, really good.
So if you want to know what I talk about
when I talk about Emperor of Rome syndrome, watch that
for good illustration of it. Anyway, it's a nice enough
version of that. Oh and then I got to the
end episode one and they were like, and the final
comedian moving on is Cliffhanger, And I'm like, Netflix, I'm
not hitting play on a second episode to find out
who's going through to the second round. I don't care
that much, so I'll probably watch the whole thing, but
I'm not like obsessed with it. It's fine. It's a
good version of what it is. I did like Rommy
Yusef's special. It's a little long, but the front half
is particularly strong. TV Insider asked Rommy about the special,
which was filmed in February and is pretty topical. How
close to the shoot were your fine seating material. Rommy said,
I think there's the bedrock of the set that are
things that I know I want to hit, and I
think for me from a performance perspective, it's really important
for it to feel like it's happening in a way
that when you're filming a special, it's a tough balance
because you're playing for a crowd that's right in front
of you, and you're playing for everyone else in their
living room. I do try to honor the people that
are in the physical room as much as possible, and
that is spontaneity. They shot at the way you doing
a stand up show. When you're doing crowd work, no
one in the crowds he's who you're talking to unless
you're sitting next to them. So we didn't even try
to grab the crowd. It was more we're gonna play
it as if you were in the room, and by
the nature kind of walking in the set and knowing
going to do crowd work and I don't know where
it's going to go. We also felt like we were
going to commit as much as possible to one of
the shows, and that Special is really just the majority
of one show. Robby said he likes to talk about
pedestrian things and TV Insider said, you had talked about
meeting the Pope. That's not a pedestrian thing. Rommy said,
My feeling is if you can meet people where they are,
they'll go with you wherever you want to go. And
the balance is, you know, my life is not that
crazily different except for every once in a while doing
something like meeting the Pope, and I think that's just
letting people in on that feeling as well. David Cross
sat down with Fox News Digital to discuss David Special
the end of the beginning of the end, David said
of his audience, I know this sounds corny, but they're
really smart and they're mostly like minded people, and they
know what they're getting. At this point, which he described
as a balance between silly and political jokes, including some
personal stories, offensive humor, and topical bits, Cross said he
doesn't tailor his work for algorithms or soften his material
for mass appeal. What Cross actually said was, at this point,
I don't give a hoot. Man, I'm gonna do it,
And if you want to come down, show up. If not, whatever,
it's fine. I'm doing my thing. The audience is happy,
come down if you want. I don't give an f
I don't want to make it too heavily silly or
too heavily political. I like to keep a really nice
balance throughout the whole thing. As for putting together a set,
he says he considers what flows more than a theme.
Cross explains if there is kind of a thread or
theme is something that presents itself. I never sit down
and go how can I talk about the inhumanity of man?
You know it's not that kind of thing.
Speaker 1: Gossip Connor wis Business changed?
Speaker 2: Gossip conn Problem, Gossip Gone Withers with Me?
Speaker 1: John Mactow and the.
Speaker 2: Trees No Pete Today. Gossip Corner features Dave Chappelle. The
manager of the San Francisco Giants was out and about
and his night ended with a fist bump from Dave Chappelle.
Tony Vittello didn't have a game last Monday. He went
to a downtown restaurant that had been recommended by a friend.
He said, to hell with it, I'll go to the
restaurant see. His concern was the Giants were off to
a bad start and he thought some Giants fans would
be sad. Sure enough, there were Giants fans there. They
gave him a hard time and he said, well, what
do you guys doing? You having fun? And they said, yeah,
we're getting ready to go see Dave Chappelle. Ptello bartoned
ways with the fans and called an uber and then
had a change of heart. He said, it was raining.
I called an uber, stared at the uber, canceled the uber,
apologized to the Uber driver and asked myself, why am
I being so scared? I coach guys and tell them
to be scared. So he bought a ticket to Dave
Chappelle's show. At the punchline, Tello said, Dave was Dave,
so I needed to laugh and it was good to
do something in the city. Was a lot of fun,
met some cool people and got some rest to get
ready for this deal. That deal was an interview with
MLB Network. At the end of the night, he got
a fist bump from Dave Chappelle. But I don't know
how that part works. Is he sitting in section three
oh nine or did he have VIP tickets? How did
he get a fist bump from Dave Chappelle? But he
got a fist bump from Dave Chappelle. Meanwhile, we are
told Dave Chappelle secured the perfect deal on an art piece.
Dave was walking around Soho. Dave was on his way
to Sidell's when he spotted artist Lauren Wilson passing by
with one of Wilson's original bees wax sculptures in hand.
Chappelle stopped Wilson and commissioned his work on the spot.
Wilson said, Chappelle was so engaging. I just gave it
to him and told him don't worry about it. And
