but since we're in Nick's mood, I will tell you
in the two slot that Tracy Morgan will receive the
inaugural Flip Wilson Award at the eighth annual A A
f C, A t V Honor Ceremony. It's a new prize,
and the press release explains that the Flip Wilson Award
recognizes individuals whose comedic artistry and cultural impact continue the
legacy of the groundbreaking entertainer and television pioneer Flip Wilson.
Morgan will receive the special honor at the awards ceremony,
held on Saturday, August eighth, at City Club LA in
downtown LA. It's a good thing that it's not until August,
because he's going to be at a parade in New
York City very soon. The World's Cup kicks off today
and along with it we get a new late night
show at least for a month or so. Premiering tonight
is FIFA World Cup on Fox After Hours with James Cordon.
That's right. FIFA World Cup on Fox After Hours with
James Cordon features James Cordon in a quote fun, high
energy and comedic celebration of the world of the FIFA
World Cup trademark. The show will air throughout the tournament
at midnight local time on Fox, falling all the action
of the day with FIFA World Cup legend and former
England national team captain Rio Ferdinand and comedian Ian Carmel
joining James Cordon in studio for FIFA World Cup on
Fox After Hours with James Cordon. Not sure a midnight
time slots gonna work for me? A Fox suit said,
the show is the perfect edition to our programming lineup,
and we're looking forward to capping off the day on
Fox in a way that only James and his team
can deliver. Four fans. FIFA World Cup on Fox After
Hours with James Corden What a Terrible Name? Will originate
from Los Angeles on the Fox Studio lot and Spotlight
the tournament's most talked about moments and storylines of the day. Yeah,
are you guys gonna talk about the new Jersey Transit mess?
Are you gonna talk about that? Are you guys gonna
talk about the overpriced tickets? Are you gonna talk about
the half empty stadiums? I call bluff on FIFA World
Cup on Fox After Hours with James Cordon. Let me
know when you talk about the new Jersey transit story,
and I'll be happy to comment on what you comment about.
I digress. Each show will feature surprise guest appearances from
some of the biggest names in pop culture, and of
course the beautiful Game. Oh there's more. Fox wants us
to know from people inside and around each of the
forty eight teams competing in the tournament, who have compelling stories.
To the fan who goes viral on camera that means
they're gonna have the German guy. Have you been following
the German on Twitter? Some German guys been traveling like
the Southeast and discovering things like waffle House, and he's
all impressed by all the things the United States of
America has to offer to Germans anyway. From people inside
and around blah blah blah to the team dog who
becomes a good luck charm, and much more. FIFA World

by the way, will be immersed into the fabric of
the tournament. Diehard soccer fans and casual supporters alike. We'll
be in bed before midnight and join in for the
excitement for the world's biggest sporting event taking place right here,
et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. Fox says the show
will be built around James Cordon's lifelong soccer fandom, and
you can tell by the way he calls it soccer.
Gordon describes the idea what we're gonna try and do
is make it feel like you couldn't meet up with
your friends at a bar that night. We'll be there
to have some fun. Anyway, if you want to stay
up late tonight and I'm going to bed after staying
up late for those New York Knicks, and then tomorrow night,
I got to stay up late to watch Team USA.
Who's Team USA playing Paraguay? Right Anyway, if you want
to stay up and watch FIFA World Cup on Fox
After Hours with James Gordon All Caps. It will be
on tonight after the exciting Korea versus Chechia game. By
the way, can we take a time out here. When
I came into the studio today, I thought I had nothing.
I'm going to tell you a couple of minutes that
I googled one more thing and found a Mark Maron
interview that gave this episode a little length. But so far,
five six minutes in, I'm kind of happy with this
one time in. One of the soccer ambassadors this month
will be Will Ferrell. He is an official community ambassador
for the Los Angeles World Cup twenty twenty six. In
a news release, Will Ferrell said, I'm here to support
the host Committee' efforts and cheer loudly for the country
he's playing in the tournament. I promise not to jump
in as a goalkeeper unless it's absolutely necessary. Let's make
this tournament unforgettable for Los Angeles. I personally find Will
Ferrell annoying. Morgan Wallen upsets some people. To just see
what happened, So Morgan Wallen was going to play. By
the way, he's one of those people like Kathy Griffin
that anytime his name comes up, there's always like a controversy.
I saw Kathy Griffin's story what I was putting the
show together today, I was like, I'm not doing that.
I'm just I'm tired of her. Who's the other one,
Michael Rappaport, Rob Schneider. I mean, there's just always controversy
around these people. Morgan Wallen has stirred it up. You see.
He was supposed to play a concert Saturday night in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
It was the second show of the weekend, but Wallen
and his team announced that it was canceled early in
the day because of stormy weather in the area. All Right,
I mean, can't blame the guy. He doesn't want his
fans to get struck by lightning. I don't think that's absurd.
Here's the thing, the weather. I wanted to say, the
weather didn't cooperate. The weather did cooperate and was nice,
so fans posted shots of sunny skies and they were
annoyed that he didn't have the concert. That said, within
about an hour of where the concert was going to be,
there were six tornadoes. So it's not total crazy talk.
Why are you bringing this up, John, because it was
a conversation topic between Theo Vaughn and Matt Rife. Now
Vaughn is actually featured in the opening video skit On
the Still the Problem tour, Matt Raife talked about his
own decision to cancel a show because he ended up
in the hospital from a lack of sleep and that
got backlash. Vaughn related that story to Wallin's situation with Riife,
saying he's not a meteorologist. It's not up to him.
He's doing the best he can and people just say,
won't cut him a brake. Both Theovonn and Matt Riife
noted what would have happened had Wala not canceled the
show and then there was a tornado. Theovon joked, you
can't be on stage saying, guess I'm the problem. And
people are getting hit by lightning. There's a twister just
throwing people up on stage. People are passing you by
in the air. Rice said, you can't please everybody.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: Oh no, my wife just got home from work and
I was vamping. All right, I'm going to take the
commercial break here, but when we come back, you're going
to say I'm not as good very pack. Okay, I'm
back on the Hill. That's basically like a starting pitcher
coming back out after rain delay. But it did affect
where I was going to put the brake right, so
I mentioned earlier. Sometimes when I put together the show,
I think it's a slow news day and I google
one more thing, and I found this wonderful Mark Marin
interview with Variety. But now I'm going to save it
for tomorrow because I was able to get some length
out of the court bit. Jim Gaffigan never confused for
somebody cool or somebody who would call someone back who
helped them earlier in their career. You know what he
did yesterday? He was signing bottles of his bourbon. That's
not exactly Timothy Shalomey sitting courtside at the New York
Knicks playoff game. You know what I'm saying. Jim Gaffigan
was at Bulldog Liquor on North Division Street signing bourbon bottles.
The bourbon is described as rees with love and discipline
and heavy oak barrels undisturbed by children or the stress
of parenting. Jim did that before performing a concert. Meanwhile,
much cooler. The Southern Tier Brewing Company is teamed up
with the National Comedy Center on a new beer. The
new beer will support ALS Research. It's called bit by
Bit Blonde al see what they did there. Bit by
Bit Blondelle is a limited release five point one percent blonde.
Aale that's a little high there, you know, uh, you know,
that's one of the things I factor in when I
go out, you know, to look at that APV. It's
not terribly high. You know, where was I recently I had?
Where was I? I had? Like the most delicious Basic
Miller light on tap? It was delicious. Bit by Bit
Blondale is a limited release five point one percent Blondale
created a raise funds and awareness for ALS Research. The
beer's name draws inspiration from the comedy bits that have
brought people together for generations. You didn't have to tell
this that in the press release. We knew that. Brandon
Hank is the brand manager at Southern Tier, and mister
Hank says, we're honored to be partnering with the National
Comedy Center for Bit by Bit. Craft beer has always
been about community, so having the ability to raise funds
for a great cause is truly special. Bit by Bit
is available at all Southern Tier Brewing Company tap rooms
the National Comedy Center and select local retailers. Now, because
I shuffled the deck here, I'm now looking at the
second half here, and I'm one story short. So let
me this one got bounced. Let me tell you about
Startrek Ruinner patent Oswald, he told Forbes about the best
career advice he's ever received. He said, there are two
pieces of advice. Actually, one is don't get too high
on the highs and don't get too low on the lows.
You'll have both, and both can hurt you if you
don't handle them correct. You get way too high. That
can mess you up just as much as you can
mess up by going I'm never going to get out
of this bit. It's up and down. Then the other
one is every day's a rainy day. Every day in
this business, in the creative world and the lunar professions,
is a rainy day. Don't live beyond your means if
you're a creative I'm paraphrasing Harlan Ellison when who's talking
about writing, But anyone can become a stand up comedian.
It's just really hard to stay one. So you got
to live it away. That's not beholding a debt or ego,
George Carland said, I never want to own a house
that I was using to scare people with, because when
you do, then you're beholding a nine out of things
that have nothing to do with your comedy. So keep
everything as small scale as you possibly can, so they
have the freedom to do what you want and work
with who you want. And that is your comedy news
for today. Now. See I was originally going to record
a Sunday's episode as part of the session because I
was feeling good earlier, but you know, now lost my
fastball ordered a little too late in the day. Today.
All right, it is June, so you're sharing the show.
So your phone is possibly in your hand. If your
phone is not in your hand, like if you're driving
a car in Arizona, even if it's an automated car,
keep your hands on the wheel, pay attention. But say
your phone is in your hand, what are you gonna
do right now? In your podcast app? You're gonna hit
share and then you're gonna send it to somebody. I
don't care who you send it to. Send it to
Pat Oswald, I don't care. You're gonna share the show
because that's what we're doing in June, and you're gonna
tell your friend. They can follow the show on Spotify,
and they should turn on notifications so they never miss
an episode, and they can comment in Spotify or they
can comment the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group.
And I will see you tomorrow when I'm gonna have
to record the whole weekend because I didn't do Sunday
