Speaker 1: Kalaruga Shark Media.
Speaker 2: Hey, I'm Johnny mag with your daily comedy news. Just again.
Speaker 2: I'm stunned it how much there is this week. Normally
Speaker 2: this is a really quiet week. We'll do the Emmys
Speaker 2: in the second half of the show. The Emmy nominations
Speaker 2: are out, but let's start with the fighting stuff, because
Speaker 2: that's what I like. Tony Hinchcliffe was a guest on
Speaker 2: The Joe Rogan Experience. The conversation turned to the roast
Speaker 2: of Kevin Hart at its year for both language and facing.
Speaker 1: What's it been like like the weirdness, the post roast weirdness.
Speaker 3: I'm always surprised by these things. I'm always surprised that
Speaker 3: they last so long that anybody's talking about it. It's
Speaker 3: so bizarre. I was surprised with the Pang Dang thing.
Speaker 3: I was surprised at the Trump thing. And this one
Speaker 3: is really surprising because with other one they're like, Ah,
Speaker 3: there's a time and a place for jokes like that
Speaker 3: or this or that or whatever, and this is the
Speaker 3: time and the place for it. Is like the roast
Speaker 3: of Kevin Hart. You know, I'm gonna go for it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and we roasted Kevin, you know, I did a George
Speaker 3: Floyd joke in the uh at the Tom Brady roast
Speaker 3: and then this one. People are offended or something I
Speaker 3: don't know, And yeah, if you just watch that clip
Speaker 3: on my dismount, it's a crazy clip. But if you
Speaker 3: watch the entire flow of the roast set, it's just
Speaker 3: one last departing joke, which that's my thing. Man. It's
Speaker 3: like I knew Earthquake would be standing up on his
Speaker 3: feet like he was halfway through my set, you know.
Speaker 3: You know there's standing o's that are happening during my
Speaker 3: actual roast and on this one because there were so
Speaker 3: many people on it. It was such a long, big roast.
Speaker 3: You know, they set you to an allotted time. So
Speaker 3: I'm like, okay, I'm going to do something I don't
Speaker 3: normally do and blast off more jokes per minute than
Speaker 3: I normally do. Instead of milking it and getting applause
Speaker 3: breaks and things like that, I'm just going to create
Speaker 3: a bang bang bang bang bang final stand up things.
Speaker 3: You know, what's funny is that I have something that's
Speaker 3: supposed to offend everybody, Like I don't want you to
Speaker 3: like one hundred percent of any of my jokes I'm
Speaker 3: not that guy. I'm heelish, I'm a bad guy wrestling
Speaker 3: thing exactly. So what's funny because people got offended about
Speaker 3: the George Floyd thing, and people a lot of people said, yeah,
Speaker 3: well Pete Davidson did a Charlie Kirk joke, and they're
Speaker 3: comparing these things from two different spectrums. But what they
Speaker 3: didn't mention is that I did a Charlie Kirk joke
Speaker 3: in my set. You know what, everybody gets them. Everybody
Speaker 3: gets it is always might get some jokes everybody does.
Speaker 3: I said that Kevin has a quite the fan base.
Speaker 3: He has more gunfire at his merch table than Charlie
Speaker 3: Kirk or whatever. And so you know, for them to
Speaker 3: for people to nitpick that joke and be offended, and
Speaker 3: it's funny because it was a lot of a lot
Speaker 3: of comedians, a lot of black comedians were like, I'm
Speaker 3: upset about this. You know, they made their videos, which
Speaker 3: is just hilarious because they're not on the roast, they're
Speaker 3: not in attendance at the roast. You saw it, Tommy
Speaker 3: Harsh that was the best one. Nobody handled it better
Speaker 3: than her.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, there was another kerfluffle involving mega comedian Nate Bergatzy
Speaker 2: last weekend. It was July fourth, Saturday, July fourth, and
Speaker 2: normally on Saturday they would air a rerun of Saturday
Speaker 2: Night Live, but no, it was July fourth, so they didn't. However,
Speaker 2: on SNL's Instagram, they posted a sketch called Washington's Dream,
Speaker 2: which of course stars mega comedian Nate Bergatzi. If you
Speaker 2: don't know why he's a mega comedian because one time
Speaker 2: he went to a UFC fight at the White House,
Speaker 2: the Daily Beast tells us the traditionally progressive fans of
Speaker 2: SNL lashed out when his sketch was on Saturday. One
Speaker 2: social media user said, really not the time, NBCSNL. Another
Speaker 2: told the program to read the room. Yeah, how absurd
Speaker 2: that you would post a George Washington sketch on July fourth.
Speaker 2: That's crazy. Meanwhile, The Daily Beast caught up with wkmal Bell,
Speaker 2: who recently posted a substack about mega comedian Aperghatzy. Bell
Speaker 2: told the Beasts, throughout the history of the White House,
Speaker 2: going to the White House is a political decision, but
Speaker 2: now it's not only a political decision, but it is
Speaker 2: a caustic and toxic decision based on what this administration
Speaker 2: is doing, like holding a UFC fight. Maybe you wanted
Speaker 2: to see some fights that THO would be kind of
Speaker 2: cool to see one on the White House lawn, and
Speaker 2: maybe you'd run into Shane Gillis in the back, who
Speaker 2: knows Cameu admitted that he used to be a huge
Speaker 2: UFC fan, So I relate in the sense that this
Speaker 2: is a thing that I loved, and there's a version
Speaker 2: of this where I might have felt like I should go.
Speaker 2: They asked, come out, does Nate actually want to be
Speaker 2: a maga comedian? Bell said, I'll say this, his accountant
Speaker 2: doesn't want him to be a maga comedian, the concern
Speaker 2: being that being a mega comedian will hurt Nate's bottom
Speaker 2: line because he's bigger than every maga comedian. There's nothing
Speaker 2: he's going to gain from losing people who are like
Speaker 2: I just think that guy's funny. He cuts across race
Speaker 2: and ethnicity and religion and socionomic background in politics. So
Speaker 2: why would you suddenly put that in a box. I
Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe you wanted to go see a UFC fight,
Speaker 2: and Cheryl Hines was like, Hey, do you want to
Speaker 2: take a picture with me and my husband? And he went, yeah, sure,
Speaker 2: they'll at it. If anything, Nate, this is me trying
Speaker 2: to help you. Who are the people around you who
Speaker 2: are supposed to say, don't do that. Whether that's your
Speaker 2: politics or not, that's not a good business decision for you, Nate.
Speaker 2: It's not good doesn't help your brand in any way.
Speaker 2: The conversation turned to Tony Hinchcliff's recent Netflix special. Belle said,
Speaker 2: I have not watched Tony Hinchcliff's new special, but I'm
Speaker 2: not hearing great things. The Daily Beast points out that
Speaker 2: Tony Hinchcliff was also at the UFC fight. Was he
Speaker 2: I missed that? Okay? Belle said, well, I mean Tony
Speaker 2: Hinchcliff has basically made himself a henchman to Donald Trump's joker.
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't he be there? Shane Gillis when he's not
Speaker 2: at UFC fight, said, the White House sometimes hangs out,
Speaker 2: apparently with Kanye West. A photo has appeared of Kanye
Speaker 2: West and Shane Gillis hanging backstage after Kanye's at Texas concert.
Speaker 2: We know this because Shane Gillis posted it. All right,
Speaker 2: I promise hear this one from yesterday. I had a
Speaker 2: bump it. Reen Wilson not happy with Ricky Gervis. Before
Speaker 2: I get into the clip, let me remind everyone. Rain
Speaker 2: Wilson perhaps possibly best known for playing Dwight on The Office,
Speaker 2: which was a spinoff of the British series called The
Speaker 2: Office written and created by Ricky Gervas and Stephen Merchant.
Speaker 2: So Rain Wilson might want to remember where his whole
Speaker 2: career comes from. But anyway, here's Reen Wilson on the
Speaker 2: Soul Bloom podcast edits for language.
Speaker 1: One of the things that pisses me off to no
Speaker 1: end is Ricky Gervase saying, just just take your after award.
Speaker 1: No one wants to hear what you have to say.
Speaker 1: Guess what Everyone gets to say what they want to
Speaker 1: say about anything. Yeah, Gaza, climate change, politics, you get
Speaker 1: to say it. If you're a truck driver, you get
Speaker 1: to say it. Yeah, if you're a school teacher.
Speaker 2: And you're winning in this country.
Speaker 1: And it's we have free speech, and you know if
Speaker 1: people don't want to hear it, they don't have to
Speaker 1: give you an a war and.
Speaker 2: He's never put any limits on his speech.
Speaker 1: No, no, And like, yeah, is it going to change,
Speaker 1: you know, war or climate change? With you saying something
Speaker 1: for seventy five seconds after you win a golden globe like, no,
Speaker 1: but why would you try and shame and silence someone
Speaker 1: from speaking their truth? I mean, it shouldn't just be
Speaker 1: for the sake of it. Hopefully what you're saying is
Speaker 1: well researched, and hopefully you're doing something about that cause
Speaker 1: that you want to speak to, and it's not just
Speaker 1: kind of like what do they call that mood signaling
Speaker 1: or whatever, virtue virtue signaling or something like that. And
Speaker 1: I think everyone from janitor to act you do not
Speaker 1: need to be an academic, you need to have a PhD.
Speaker 1: You don't need to be a politician or an expert
Speaker 1: to speak out on what moves.
Speaker 2: You rain relaxed dude. Brian bonumgottner Is shared his story.
Speaker 2: Apparently this anecdote's around for five years or so, but
Speaker 2: I had missed it. Some people wondered in the Office
Speaker 2: US finale how Kevin went up with a bar. Brian said,
Speaker 2: I can't go on a bar and not be offered
Speaker 2: a drink. They want to have a drink with Kevin Malone.
Speaker 2: So the storyline is shot but not air that Kevin
Speaker 2: Malone goes into bars. Everyone wants to buy him a drink.
Speaker 2: There's a particular bar in Scranted, Pennsylvania that he goes
Speaker 2: in all the time, and he's accumulated such a credit
Speaker 2: at the bar from people buying him drinks that he uses.
Speaker 2: That is leverage to own the bar. That is a
Speaker 2: true written story that was shot. Now coming out next
Speaker 2: week is The Office US Complete Series super Fan Extended
Speaker 2: episodes with twenty five plus hours of unaired footage. Now
Speaker 2: I'm not going to buy the whole series on DVD again,
Speaker 2: but this all new collection reconstructs every installment of the
Speaker 2: landmark series with additional footage per episode, delivering more than
Speaker 2: twenty five hours of unaired asterisk material. The asterisk is
Speaker 2: during initial TV broadcast run, so some of these things
Speaker 2: have been around runtime one hundred hours and twenty minutes.
Speaker 2: The Office the Complete Series super Fan Extended episodes available
Speaker 2: on digital and Blu Ray July fourteenth. Looking ahead to
Speaker 2: the weekend, I think I'm going to make this weekend
Speaker 2: Saturday deep dive about The Office UK, being that it's
Speaker 2: the anniversary today, Happy anniversary, everybody. Josh Johnson told Deadline
Speaker 2: that unlike his YouTube sets, he intends his specials to
Speaker 2: be timeless. He says, the intention that I have what
Speaker 2: everything I do, is like most people don't feel as
Speaker 2: great as they are walking around. A lot of people
Speaker 2: don't feel in sync with their life and personally don't
Speaker 2: feel like their own melody. Sometimes there's just this noise
Speaker 2: in your head and there's this external disruption that's going
Speaker 2: on all the time, whether it's negative news or negative
Speaker 2: opinions and stuff like that. He says that you shouldn't
Speaker 2: just completely shut out what's happening in the world. It's
Speaker 2: important to be part of the world you're in, but
Speaker 2: if you're in the world, you must be worth the world.
Speaker 2: And I don't think people walk around with that feeling.
Speaker 2: So if I could be a part of changing that,
Speaker 2: that means a lot to me. Vyies tells us that
Speaker 2: wedding officiator Adam Sandler has a running neighborhood prank with
Speaker 2: Conan O'Brien. We are told that one of Adam Sandler's
Speaker 2: favorite gags is to yell O'Brien's name out in front
Speaker 2: of his house whenever he passes by, whether he's on
Speaker 2: f foot, riding a bike, or driving through the neighborhood.
Speaker 2: According to Conan, there was a time when a celebrity
Speaker 2: bus tour happened to catch wedding officiator Adam Sandler in
Speaker 2: the act. It's become such a common occurrence that Saidlor's
Speaker 2: kids expect them to do it every time they're in
Speaker 2: the area. The Emmy nominations came out on Wednesday. Hacks
Speaker 2: landed twenty four nominations, beating the record of twenty three
Speaker 2: previously held by The Studio and The Bear. It has
Speaker 2: also surpassed Shit's Creek for most nominations for a comedy series. Now,
Speaker 2: Hacks is nice and all, but like Relax, it is
Speaker 2: not the greatest thing. Ever, It's good. Hacks gott nominations
Speaker 2: for Best Comedy Series, Best Actress for Gene Smart, Best
Speaker 2: Supporting Actress for Hannah Einbinder and Megan Statler, and Best
Speaker 2: Supporting Actor for Paul w. Downs. This brings hacks lifetime
Speaker 2: Emmy total to eighty six nominations and twelve wins. Meanwhile,
Speaker 2: The Late Show with Steven Colbert got nine Emmy nominations.
Speaker 2: That was the biggest award showing of Colbert's eleven year
Speaker 2: tenure behind the Desk For this year. The most he
Speaker 2: ever got was five nominations three years in a row
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, twenty twenty one, and twenty twenty two. The
Speaker 2: Late Show is up for a Variety series, writing for
Speaker 2: a Variety series, directing for a variety series, production design
Speaker 2: for a variety series, technical direction and camera work, lighting designed,
Speaker 2: sound mixing for a variety series, picture editing for variety programming,
Speaker 2: and music direction. Late Nighter reminds us this year is
Speaker 2: the first time in over decade that shows across the
Speaker 2: Late Night field will compete in the recombined Outstanding Variety
Speaker 2: Series category, which emerges what had previously been Variety Talk
Speaker 2: Series and a separate scripted Variety Series category. Also, the
Speaker 2: rules this year are weird and stupid. Rather than selecting
Speaker 2: a single winner, voters will consider each nominated series on
Speaker 2: a yes or no basis, with any show receiving yes
Speaker 2: votes from ninety percent or more of eligible voters winning
Speaker 2: an Emmy. That means the category could produce more than
Speaker 2: one winner, which of course is stupid. If no nominee
Speaker 2: gets ninety percent, the Emmy will go to the series
Speaker 2: with the highest percentage of yes votes. The nominees Outstanding
Speaker 2: variety series are The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The
Speaker 2: Daily Show, Jimmy Kimmelive, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,
Speaker 2: and Saturday Night Live. Good shot that they all win,
Speaker 2: which is stupid. Let's give it a Colbert just to
Speaker 2: stick it to CBSD. The nominees for Best Comedy Series
Speaker 2: are Abbot, Elementary, The Bear, which of course is not
Speaker 2: a comedy, Hacks, Margo's Got Money, Troubles, which apparently is
Speaker 2: a show on Apple TV. Nobody wants this from Netflix,
Speaker 2: Only Murders in the Building, Shrinking, and Widow's Bay from
Speaker 2: Apple TV, which I hear is very good. I haven't
Speaker 2: gotten to it yet. I've been watching soccer every day
Speaker 2: of my life except yesterday, but I had volleyball. Lead
Speaker 2: Actor in a Comedy Series yah Abdul Medine the second
Speaker 2: for wonder Man, Steve Grell for Rooster, Matthew Rees for
Speaker 2: Widow's Bay, Jason Siegel for Shrinking, Martin Short for Only Murders.
Speaker 2: Lead Actress in a Comedy Series. The nominations are Quinton
Speaker 2: Brunson for Abbot, Iu Edaberry for The Bear, which of
Speaker 2: course is not a comedy, and Ellie Fanning for Margo's
Speaker 2: Got Money Trouble, Lisa Kudro for The Comeback, and Gene
Speaker 2: Smart for Hacks. Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series
Speaker 2: Colman Domingo for the Four Seasons, Paul w Downs for Hacks,
Speaker 2: Harrison Ford for Shrinking We Got to do that, That's
Speaker 2: just fun, Nick Offerman from Margo's Got Money Troubles, Steven
Speaker 2: Root for Widows Bay, Michael Uri for Shrinking Tailor James
Speaker 2: Williams for Abbott Elementary. The nominees for Outstanding Supporting Actress
Speaker 2: in a Comedy Series are Dale Dickey for Widows Bay,
Speaker 2: Hannah Einbinder for Hacks, Janelle James for Abbott, Kate O'Flynn
Speaker 2: for Widows Bay, Michelle Pfeiffer for Margo's Got Money Troubles,
Speaker 2: Making Statler for Hacks, and Jessica Williams for Shrinking. And
Speaker 2: Outstanding Animated Program. The nominees are Star Wars, Vision, South Park,
Speaker 2: Spiling Friends, Simpson's and Bob's Burgers continuing the Great Hoax.
Speaker 2: I hope Bob's Burgers win and then everyone in on
Speaker 2: the Hoax will be like, I can't believe they fell
Speaker 2: for this. Let me ask you two questions, have you
Speaker 2: ever seen Bob's Burgers? The answer is no, And more importantly,
Speaker 2: have you ever met anyone who has seen Bob's Burgers?
Speaker 2: The answer is also no. Oh, think about that. Sometimes,
Speaker 2: while we're all fawning over Stephen Colbert, Late Night er
Speaker 2: tells us we now have a full month of live
Speaker 2: plus seven ratings data for Byron Allen's two hour CBS
Speaker 2: late night block. How's it doing Late Night Or summarizes
Speaker 2: He's a distant third, but the floor is holding. Byron
Speaker 2: Allen's hour is averaging just under seven hundred thousand viewers,
Speaker 2: about a quarter of Jimmy Kimmel's two point seven and
Speaker 2: half The Tonight Show's one point four. Now, this is interesting,
Speaker 2: Late Nighter says every other program in late night sheds
Speaker 2: audiences on Fridays. Kimmel drops twenty nine percent, Seth drops
Speaker 2: twenty two percent, The Tonight Show slips seven percent. Byron
Speaker 2: Allen goes up eleven percent. Now, if we look at
Speaker 2: the eighteen to forty nine's, Byron Allen's hour averages seventy
Speaker 2: eight thousand viewers in a nation of three hundred million
Speaker 2: plus seventy eight thousand yikes. Nightline which doesn't even start
Speaker 2: till twelve thirty five, has double that. Even Seth Myers
Speaker 2: beats that number. I mean, come on, Late Nighter says,
Speaker 2: nobody records this sh Joe. Ninety six percent of the
Speaker 2: blocks total weekly audience's watches live or same day, meaning
Speaker 2: it's the least time shifted programming in late night. Kimmel's
Speaker 2: audience adds seventeen percent to his audience over a week
Speaker 2: of delayed viewing the Daily Show, more than doubles and
Speaker 2: Late Nighter points out that the Knicks championship run was
Speaker 2: in here and that helped Kimmel's numbers a little bit,
Speaker 2: but gives us a pretty good sense of where things
Speaker 2: are in late night. And that is your comedy news
Speaker 2: for today. I will see tomorrow.
