Speaker 1: Caloroga Shark Media.
Speaker 2: Hey there, I'm Johenni Mack with your daily comedy news
and daily briefing on stand up comedy, comedians and the
comedy industry. I said, it's the algorithm loves and I
can't remember enough to write down in the notes every day.
Cracked asked, are we learning a little too much about
Nicki Glazer? This reminds me I wanted to bring up.
When I was driving back from the Osco concert last
week with my daughter, we started talking about Nicky's revelations,
and I've been pulling my punches a little because, like
I'm a dude, and maybe I just don't get it.
I'm an old man. But my daughter, who's you know,
a cool gen zer, she was not into what Nicky
was selling at all. She's like, yeah, we don't need
to know any of that, And my daughter and I
are aligned. I hope Nicky's okay. It seems like Nicki
really really has self esteem issues. Cracked rights, what goes
on inside Nicki Glazer's bedroom is not the concern of
anybody besides her, her boyfriend and their potential side piece.
Anybody who's been around stand up comedians in the rough
Hours knows that, like any artistic community, comics tend to
be a kinky bunch. Some personal preferences are fittingly laughable,
some are uncomfortably extreme, but hey, so as long as
everyone's consenting, it's not our place to judge an artists
for their proclivities correct rights. At the same time, and
arguably the most iconic roast comic of her generation goes
on call her Daddy and discusses her curiosity about the
increasingly popular ethical non monogamy lifestyle. She opens herself up
to all sorts of slams and burns from an online
comedy community that's eager to test out their own roasting skills.
Let me jump in there about the roasts. I was
thinking about this too, NICKI not doing the roast of
Kevin Hart. I don't think that's a scheduling thing. I
think that's the agent trying to steer her away from
being a roast comic and being the type of person
who hosts awards shows. Obviously, she's hosting the Golden Globes.
Somewhere in my travels, maybe it was the Town podcast
put in my head that maybe Conan doesn't want to
host the Oscars again. And maybe they'd consider Nicki Glazer.
So I think this is the agent steering. I don't
know anything, that's just you know, I've been doing this
for a while and know how to read the tea leaves,
and that'd be my guess. Now, Yeah, I'm looking at this.
I was wondering if she's on tour. She's on tour.
You know where she is the week of the Kevin
Hart Roast. She's in Los Angeles at the Netflix, is
at Joe Comedy Festival, so she's in town. I'm sure
she could do a minute. I'm sure Jeff Ross and
the gang would write her a couple of lines. So
I think they're steering her away from this. Nicki does
have time to do The Night of Too Many Stars
May seventh, in LA at the Hollywood Bowl. Crack points
out Glazer never actually said that either she or her
boyfriend have actually acted on their non monogamous impulses, and
she only spoke about the exploration of their boundaries and
hypothetical situations. For all we know, the thought alone is
enough to get the blood pumping for these lovebirds, and
it'll never go further than that. Again, you do you
I just don't think the press on that one went
the way Nicky thought it was going to go. The
folks at the Minneapolis Star Tribune went to see John mulaney.
Minor spoilers for John's a current tour. Mister, whatever the
Star Trip tells U, John mulaney isn't afraid to take chances.
In the opener, John m'laney turned stand up tropes on
their heads for nearly two hours a marathon in the
stand up world, only pausing a couple of times to
sip water. Spoilers how he turned a bit on fatherhood
into an excuse to reflect on devil possession and rip
RFK Junior was a magic trick equal to anything you'd
see it a David Copperfield show. Lots of comics have
ripped on the Wizard of Oz, but how many have
targeted the black and white portions in which Ray Bolger
is less than convincing? Is a farm hand? That's good?
A bit about in laws turn into a rant about
how marrying Asian American actress Olivia Munn has resulted in
him financially supporting roughly a dozen Vietnamese Americans. Some other
material like his thoughts on how Jesus must have loved
posing for pictures. Seemed better suited for SNL, but there's
no way NBC censors would let him get away with
the language he used on stage. This is good because
I like to see comedians evolve, they tell us. John
mulaney did not dive into the part of his personal
past that has generated headlines, but he didn't ignore them either.
He revealed he's only allowed to carry two hundred dollars
in cash on them at any time, decreasing the chances
that'll revive his cocaine Habit sounds like it was a
good show. Jim Gaffigan was talking food on The Late
Show with star trek ruiner Stephen Colbert. We learned that
Jim Gaffigan's top choice is a classic pastrami sandwich from
Katz's Delicatessen in New York City. Then he added, if
you're in Chicago with nothing on your schedule, go for
an Italian beef from Mister Beef, where illuminatis how he
likes his hot beef. He says hot peppers. He also
pointed out it's messy, but that's part of the appeal
Chicago food. I'm fat enough, I would weigh four hundred
pounds if I lived out there. Those beef sandwiches are awesome.
I love the pizza. I'm not here to debate pizza
with you. I like it a lot. Colbert asked, what
do you do if you have plans after eating one
of the sandwiches? Yes, pro tip, having spent a lot
of time in Chicago, if you get one of those
beef sandwiches with the hot peppers, you want to have
a plan, you know what I mean? Like, maybe get
one and go back to the hotel room and work
on your comedy podcast scripts for a little bit, and
you know it's good to be back in the room.
Say no more, you know what I'm saying. Gaffigan said,
The problem is no one's ever eating a pastrami sandwich
and done anything. You have a pastrami sandwich and then
you're like goodbye. Greg gutfelds What did I Miss? Coming Back?
New season April twenty seventh, three episodes hosted by Greg Gutfeld.
The premise of the show as a group of people
who isolated themselves in upstate New York with no access
to media, trying to determine which of the news headlines
cited by Gutfeld or real, Oh my goodness, can you
imagine if they've missed the last two weeks and some
of the things the President of the United States has
done on social media, They're not gonna believe any of it.
Oh No. Unfortunately this was filmed after Thanksgiving. Five contestants
were cut off from phones, internet, television, social media, along
with all communication from friends and family. They re entered
Socide after Valentine's Day and had to take a quiz
from Gutfeld about what happened in the world while they
were sequestered. Contestants compete for fifty thousand dollars. Guttfeld said,
against all logic, people volunteered to do this greasy game
show again, and the only thing standing between them and
victory is me. Can we just find somebody who's been
in like a coma for the last two weeks. I'd
like to just quiz that person and be like, hey, here,
I'll tell you I was talking about this with my
friends Trivia recently. I have this way of I can
convince people that I know what I'm talking about, and
the rest of the trivia team goes, yeah, that makes sense,
and they write it down and I was joking about
in three years if the trivia guys ask on Easter
Sunday the President of the United States mentioned this religious figure.
I'm going to convince everybody it's Jesus. And then somebody's
gonna go no, not who we mentioned. I'm gonna go
like that makes no sense. It was Easter, of course
he mentioned Jesus. But I digress, and somebody's gonna get
mad at me. Now. The Late Night Ratings star trek
Ruiner Stephen Colbert remains the most watched program at eleven
thirty five total viewers two point seven million. Future King
of Late Night Jimmy Kimmel two point five three million viewers,
up six percent of The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon
one point three three million. Gutfeld, which airs at ten
Eastern seven West, did three point three million. The Daily
Show is averaging one point one three million total viewers
at twelve thirty seven. Seth Myers has a show for
some reason. It's averaging a million total viewers. And that's
a night number until I tell you adults eighteen to
forty nine one hundred and thirty nine one thousand, not
that much more than this show. I'm a lot closer
to Seth Myers than Seth Myers is to Stephen Colbert.
Let's put it that way, and soon we'll all be
able to watch Byron Allen's thing. How I keep forgetting
to mention I've had this story for a couple of times,
and then yesterday I was depressed about the death of
Raw Dog Comedy. A week or so ago, I went
to see Osco at Costco with my daughter. So I'm
a comedy snob, and my daughter works in the theater
industry and she knows how bookings work. And I had
mentioned on a previous episode Osco did four chunks that
total fifty eight minutes. Well, let me get you on
a little secret. There's a minimum time you have to
do to get paid, Like you can't walk out and
just do four minutes. So Osco gets to the end
and kind of looks over to the side of the
stage and somebody must have yelled out like, no, you
can't leave. So she kind of on the fly went, ah, hey,
how about we do some Q and A. And I've
seen plenty of comedians do Q and A. Jerry Seinfeld
does Q and A, and it's a good way to
pay your time, and the Q and A was actually
quite entertaining. But we were sitting there and I was
looking at the watch and my daughter told me what
the minimum probably was, seventy minutes, and I'm like, she's
got nine more minutes to kill And sure enough, as
soon as the clock struck ninety ten, it was like, Okay,
good night, everybody. I'm not ragging on OSCO. It's everybody.
But it was fun sitting in the audience knowing what
was really going on, but the civilians on the audience
enjoyed the Q and A. Here's a really weird one
from Pete Davidson. This via TMZ who right. According to
audio obtained by TMZ, Pete Davidson, who recently became a father,
joked during his comedy show on Saturday that becoming a
girl dad has complicated watching porn. TMZ, I'm gonna read
the sentence for batim and not put any spin on it.
TMZ wrote this sentence on stage at Las Vegas Mountain Blue.
Pete reportedly quipped that it's now hard to watch porn
in front of her. He kidded, I still did I
power through that. I mentioned that's a weird joke to make,
because it's that's a weird joke to make. Nick Muhammad
got in a dig at influencers. Nick was hosting the
Olivier Awards this at London's Royal albert Hall, you know
the one where they've counted all the holes. As he
opened up the ceremony, Nick Muhammad, you know Nick from
ted Lasso, he joked he had some housekeeping to do
and said, in case of any kind of emergencies please
can everyone leave in the following order, me, Helen Miren,
sir Ian McKellen, everyone else. And then influencers love it
so well, let's stay on that side of the pond,
as they say. Leading comedy executives fear that relocation of
the Edinburgh TV Festival would be a disaster for British talent.
They point out Fleabag, Baby, Reindeer, snl UK and Task
Master just a handful of shows that may have never
seen the light of day if it wasn't for the
Edinburgh at TV Festival's alchemy with the Edinburgh Fringe. Well,
the TV festival folks have invited Bits to relocate. Avalon
co founder John Today said relocation would be a disaster.
Look at the number of people who come over every
year from the American industry to Edinburgh. Think about Phoebe
wall Bridge or baby Reindeer. These connections were often made
with American executives hearing about them via the television festival.
What would be the point of Netflix, HBO or Warner
Brothers sending people to Newcastle to discuss things like the
funding of the BBC Let's fly around the world. Down
in Melbourne, the Melbourne International Comedy Festival continues. You got
a clip for a year? This is Ian Smith. Ian's
show is called foot spa half empty my house.
Speaker 3: He's weird, thirty five years old. Still draws a little
line on his milk in market pen to know where
the level was. I think that's stupid, but I get
my own back. I buy my own milk and I
use that to top his milk cup, just above the line.
It's confused. He's looking at it. He thinks the milk
is growing. I off sat and watched him google the
phrase does milk expand.
Speaker 2: Good stuff? There from Ian Smith. The Guardian went to
see Anissa Nondula her show No Small Talk's Fun with
the rising star of Australian comedy. Anissa and Andula is
a Ugandan Australian comedian. The Guardian tells us from the
moment she bounds on stage. Adula's energy is infectious. She's
almost aggressively bubbly, her demeanor a counterpoint to the dryness
she sees in the Australian sense of humor. I pulled
a clip. Should we listen? We should listen? Hello.
Speaker 4: My name's Anissa. I got called a lot of names
in school, but I could never get upset because the
names were pretty good. In school, I had a massive afro.
My best friend was gay. They called us the two Puffs.
I wrote my Australian boyfriend to Kenya for the first time,
and they kept calling him Muzungu, which means white person.
And I was like, no, no, no, no, Asian. How
do you say Asian in your language? And this Kenyan
woman was like.
Speaker 1: Ah, China.
Speaker 4: She was in Kenya.
Speaker 1: We have black and white, and anything I don't quite
understand falls into China, Irenian, China, Uzbekistan, China, Brazilian sexy China.
Speaker 2: That's pretty good, right, We're told she started as a
slam poet. Her reliance on the audience has never mean
spirited or unkind, but it will still be a detern
for many. If you're brave enough to sit at the front,
you'd better be ready to share Anisa and Andula's no
small talk at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival until April nineteenth.
You better get on that plane. Brett Mackenzie closed out
his Freak Out City, New Zealand tour at Auckland's Hollywood
Avondale two hours of music and mirth. You know Brett
Mackenzie from Flight of the Concords who we're talking about.
A lot with a two piece horn section and two
backing vocalists. The band is versatile enough to handle anything
Brett Mackenzie throws at them. This became clear when Mackenzie
wrote a song on the spot based on the story
somebody in the audience shout it out. I'm looking at
the set list here. If you were hoping to hear
Flight of the Concord's hits, I don't think you got them.
