00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: Calaruga Shark Media.

2
00:00:10,199 --> 00:00:13,279
Speaker 2: Hey there, Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. Conan

3
00:00:13,359 --> 00:00:17,039
O'Brien is suing Harvard. I've got a clip for you,

4
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,480
a little longer than I usually play for a clip,

5
00:00:19,519 --> 00:00:20,839
but it's great. Here's Conan.

6
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: Perhaps the biggest issue facing this institution is that the

7
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:32,479
federal government of the United States is suing our university. Yeah.

8
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,960
Many people think I've come today to defend Harvard. Well, sorry,

9
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,679
those people are wrong. Not only am I not against

10
00:00:41,719 --> 00:00:44,759
these lawsuits, I'm here to announce that I'm joining them.

11
00:00:45,799 --> 00:00:49,759
I too, am suing Harvard. I'm suing Harvard for the

12
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,479
cast iron bunk bed that greeted me upon my arrival

13
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:56,600
at How Were They sixteen my freshman year, a bed

14
00:00:56,679 --> 00:00:58,920
that has since been confiscated by the Hague as an

15
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:03,439
instrument of divine c I'm suing Harvard for allowing me

16
00:01:03,479 --> 00:01:05,359
to sign up for a nine am class at the

17
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,359
Science Center and a ten am class down at Soldiers Field.

18
00:01:10,159 --> 00:01:16,079
For God's sakes, I was a child. I'm suing Harvard

19
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:23,079
for my less than spectacular undergraduate sex life, for me

20
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,439
having a three way man adding a second mirror to

21
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:36,439
my dorm. I'm suing Harvard because once I had to

22
00:01:36,439 --> 00:01:39,200
listen to the Harvard Crocodillo's do an eight minute rendition

23
00:01:39,519 --> 00:01:42,599
of split splash, I was taken a bath. My god,

24
00:01:42,719 --> 00:01:48,239
each one took a solo and it was awful. And finally,

25
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,920
I'm suing Harvard because, and this is absolutely true, in

26
00:01:51,959 --> 00:01:55,319
the spring of my sophomore year, while trying to grab

27
00:01:55,359 --> 00:01:58,319
a quick lunch at Adam's house, I was served a meal.

28
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:03,519
You has served a meal called capt'n Ben's fish spaghetti.

29
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,959
To this day, I have no idea who capt'n Ben

30
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:13,800
is or why someone would combine government issue cod with spaghetti. Harvard,

31
00:02:13,879 --> 00:02:25,120
I'll see your ass in court. Yes, I'm confident that

32
00:02:25,199 --> 00:02:28,039
my claims will have more merit than those filed by

33
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:40,520
the President of the United States. Yes, as you are aware,

34
00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:44,120
the current administration feels Harvard amidst too many foreign students,

35
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,240
and who knows, they may have a point. After all,

36
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,080
what has any foreigner ever added to our American culture,

37
00:02:53,199 --> 00:03:01,479
with the possible exception of music, literature, art, cuisine, architecture, dance,

38
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,680
scientific breakthroughs in the core of our moral codes and

39
00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:17,960
ethical blaze? Seriously serious, If foreigners hadn't gummed up the

40
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,639
works right now, it'd all be listening to delightful Calvinist reggae,

41
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:29,599
eating savory Church of England ZD and dancing the forbidden

42
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:33,560
and sexually charged the Lutheran LOMBARDA wow.

43
00:03:34,759 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 2: And you can send your letters to Conan O'Brien now

44
00:03:38,879 --> 00:03:42,439
via Deadline. BBS is letting you know you could take

45
00:03:42,479 --> 00:03:44,840
all the shots you want at them over this Byron

46
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,199
Allen thing. They're good with it. I see people on

47
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,919
threads and they're like, the ratings are down for Byron Allen.

48
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000
CBS is getting what they deserve. They know what they're

49
00:03:52,039 --> 00:03:54,759
walking into. Byron Allen is fine with this. CBS is

50
00:03:54,759 --> 00:03:58,400
fine with this. CBS wants you to know that Byron Allen,

51
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,319
who is a billionaire and has had a lot of

52
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,439
success in television, doing this sort of thing. Byron Allen

53
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,120
is paying fifteen million dollars a year as a time buy,

54
00:04:07,039 --> 00:04:09,840
meaning that he's leasing the eleven thirty hour from CBS

55
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,479
and selling its ad inventory himself. So on the CBS end,

56
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,680
even if this show gets zero viewers, they make fifteen

57
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,560
million dollars a year, so they don't care. You can

58
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,639
hate all you want the first night of Comics Unleashed

59
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,399
got eight hundred and seventy eight thousand total viewers, which

60
00:04:24,439 --> 00:04:27,920
honestly is not that far from comparing apples to slightly

61
00:04:27,959 --> 00:04:31,000
different apples here, but Seth Meyers show really doesn't get

62
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,399
a lot more than that. I'm comparing eleven thirty and

63
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:35,959
twelve thirty, and maybe that eight seventy eight was some

64
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,759
curiosity mixed in. We'll see where the Byron Allen number

65
00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:42,199
settles in. BBS said, We're proud to partner with Byron

66
00:04:42,199 --> 00:04:44,439
Allen on a new business and programming model for Late

67
00:04:44,519 --> 00:04:47,199
Night that proactively addresses a network date part that was

68
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,720
cost prohibitive to continue with this time by model, we

69
00:04:50,759 --> 00:04:53,079
have shifted an hour that was losing roughly forty million

70
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,240
dollars annually to fifteen million dollars in profit, a fifty

71
00:04:56,319 --> 00:05:00,959
five million dollars swing. Some industry sources or curious how

72
00:05:01,079 --> 00:05:04,000
a CBS arrives at the negative forty million dollar number,

73
00:05:04,319 --> 00:05:07,720
doesn't really matter. The Late Show is over. Star trek

74
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,480
Ruinner Patton Oswalt spoke to Vice about his new special.

75
00:05:11,879 --> 00:05:15,879
One of the topics was ai. Patton Oswalt said, stand

76
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,000
up as an art form is a living, evolving snapshot

77
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:20,160
of one person's life and their reaction to an opinion

78
00:05:20,199 --> 00:05:21,399
of it, which is why I think a lot of

79
00:05:21,439 --> 00:05:23,360
younger people are kind of seeing the job security of

80
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,319
it at all. A I might be able to craft

81
00:05:25,319 --> 00:05:27,680
technically funny jokes, but it will never have a point

82
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,360
of view that comes from living a life of heartbreak, joy, accidents,

83
00:05:30,399 --> 00:05:33,360
massive f ups, and real growth. The new special is

84
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,800
called t and Scotch. What's with that patent? He said?

85
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:39,160
The titles of my specials and albums are never consciously

86
00:05:39,199 --> 00:05:41,399
connected to anything within the special, But later on I

87
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,160
realized I was subconsciously expressing something I didn't even realize

88
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,439
was eating at me. And right now, the way we're living,

89
00:05:46,439 --> 00:05:50,560
it's either soothing tea or bracing scotch. Maybe I'm struggling

90
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,079
with how I've willingly embraced living under those two extremes

91
00:05:53,079 --> 00:05:56,360
and fooled myself into thinking it's somehow healthy vice ass, Patten,

92
00:05:56,639 --> 00:05:58,959
this seems to be the smallest venue you ever filmed

93
00:05:58,959 --> 00:06:01,759
a special. Aunt. Is there a reason for that? Patton said,

94
00:06:01,759 --> 00:06:04,439
I did some shows at Comedy on stateon Madison, Wisconsin

95
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,000
a few years ago, and I was blown away by

96
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,279
how electric and just plane present the crowds were. By

97
00:06:09,319 --> 00:06:11,040
the time the weekend was over, I knew that's where

98
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,759
I was going to film my next special, small, raw, intimate.

99
00:06:14,319 --> 00:06:16,439
I still love the big streaming platforms, but a lot

100
00:06:16,439 --> 00:06:18,839
of them seem to send some pretty brilliant comedy specials

101
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,360
down a digital black hole. This was a chance to

102
00:06:21,399 --> 00:06:23,759
own my product, control the distribution, make sure the right

103
00:06:23,759 --> 00:06:26,279
eyes got on it. Roll with the new t in

104
00:06:26,399 --> 00:06:30,800
Scotch on YouTube. June ninth, Congratulations to Tom sigor who's

105
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,600
on a bit of a roll. Fox Creator Studios and

106
00:06:33,639 --> 00:06:37,920
Sigora's YMH Studios are joining forces. It is a strategic

107
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,399
MULTII project partnership to develop, finance, and produce a broad

108
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,040
slate of original content. That slate includes a stand up

109
00:06:46,079 --> 00:06:50,360
comedy showcase spotlighting both established and emerging voices, a horror

110
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,839
comedy animated series, and a live action comedy series set

111
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:57,319
in an airport bar. Sagora til Deadline. We've spent years

112
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,000
building a business where we can create independently and stay

113
00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:03,439
directly connected to our audience. Fox Creator Studios understands that

114
00:07:03,519 --> 00:07:05,759
model and brings the infrastructure and reach to help us

115
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:09,199
expand it in a meaningful way. Nate Bergantcy was hawking

116
00:07:09,319 --> 00:07:13,279
his new movie The Breadwinner on in the Ovaughn's podcast.

117
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,160
They started talking about clean comedy. THEO said, you can

118
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:18,759
get away with a lot more when you don't curse.

119
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,040
I think you could say a lot of things and

120
00:07:20,079 --> 00:07:23,040
talk about a lot of stuff. When people hear foul language,

121
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,279
they either check out or label a comedian as dirty.

122
00:07:25,639 --> 00:07:27,879
Nate said, just be in control of it. When did

123
00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:30,240
he get into comedy. Let me look this up two

124
00:07:30,319 --> 00:07:32,720
thousand and two, Nate, you could say stuff by two

125
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,879
thousand and two. Relax, You couldn't say whatever you wanted

126
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,000
to say way back in two thousand and two. That's

127
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:38,680
not a bad thing. That means you have to be

128
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,079
creative in a scenario and come out stuff in different angles.

129
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,600
THEO Vaughn said, foul language is kind of how I

130
00:07:43,639 --> 00:07:46,480
operate a regular day. Nate said he doesn't consider von

131
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,319
a quote dirty comic and told him to do whatever

132
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,480
you want to do. I think Nate needs to hide

133
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,680
out for a while. I think if we look back

134
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,639
in this run that started with what did he host

135
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,319
the Emmys like? He had all the heat coming off

136
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,519
the Snlharents. But then the Emmys, the Game Show? Did

137
00:08:02,519 --> 00:08:05,759
anyone care? The movie? Does anyone care? The theme park?

138
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,759
Does anyone care? I think he needs to just tap

139
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,680
the brakes a little and just do a stand up tour.

140
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,040
But what do I know. He's making more money than anybody.

141
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,680
And I'm sitting in the basement. Rob Schneider in the news,

142
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,560
and there's always when Rob Schneider is in the news,

143
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:21,480
it's about, you know, really positive things. I don't know

144
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:23,160
what it is with Rob. He's just one of those

145
00:08:23,279 --> 00:08:26,480
comedians that every time he appears, just like strife involved

146
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:29,079
with the story. This time he was weighing in on

147
00:08:29,279 --> 00:08:32,720
Adam Carolla making the Hollywood Walk of Fame. How about

148
00:08:32,759 --> 00:08:37,159
you just say congratulations Adam Carolla, or don't say anything now.

149
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:40,440
Jimmy Kimmel was there at the ceremony. Kimmel said, Adam

150
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,399
and I, as you probably know, don't agree much when

151
00:08:42,399 --> 00:08:44,360
it comes to politics. But I love him dearly. I've

152
00:08:44,399 --> 00:08:46,279
never worked with anyone funny or I'm proud of him.

153
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,200
This is guy worked his way up from nothing to

154
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,639
become literally a millionaire. And if you don't believe it,

155
00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:53,440
you'll hear him say at every single show. Schneider, who

156
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:55,600
was not at the ceremony, had to jump on Twitter

157
00:08:55,639 --> 00:08:57,879
and said, have a friend like Adam Carolla who's able

158
00:08:57,919 --> 00:09:00,600
to set aside the most egregious whiny. He hates viewing

159
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,679
leftists lying even about murder bs and still be a

160
00:09:03,759 --> 00:09:07,840
pel all at uh is believed to be about Jimmy Kimmel, Adam,

161
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,320
congratulations on your well deserved star and your loyalty above ideology.

162
00:09:13,759 --> 00:09:16,240
Greg Proops has a new album. It is called Kidding

163
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,799
but Still. It's available via a Special Thing Records group.

164
00:09:19,879 --> 00:09:22,480
Recorded at the Punchline in San Francisco on New Year's

165
00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,639
Eve for the fifth year in a row, he did

166
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,720
a spontaneous set of tales from the road, improvvel's pointed

167
00:09:28,759 --> 00:09:33,080
political observations, and more. It is his tenth live comedy album.

168
00:09:33,279 --> 00:09:36,720
Jamel Johnson's third album is available for pre order. It'll

169
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,039
be out on June twelfth. That's called mid Range. On

170
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,440
mid Range, Johnson brings levity to serious topics like the

171
00:09:42,519 --> 00:09:47,360
racial biases of artificial intelligence, the way men encourage toxic masculinity,

172
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,000
and the pros and cons of being a fat boyfriend.

173
00:09:50,399 --> 00:09:54,159
There are also some hyper specific references like phone game ads, basketball,

174
00:09:54,159 --> 00:09:56,759
ice hockey and living with an iPod Touch instead of

175
00:09:56,759 --> 00:10:00,480
a phone. The Guardian caught up with Nish Kumar now.

176
00:10:00,519 --> 00:10:02,440
They point out, while they were doing the interview, there

177
00:10:02,519 --> 00:10:05,600
was a big poster promoting prime videos last one Laughing

178
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,919
UK and in the center of the frame is Jimmy Carr,

179
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,840
The Guardian reminds us. In Kumore's last stand up show,

180
00:10:12,279 --> 00:10:15,000
he recalled the time he confronted Jimmy Carr about Jimmy

181
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,360
Carr's decision to appear on Jordan Peterson's podcast. The Guardian

182
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,120
tells us Kumore is initially as it into criticizes fellow comics,

183
00:10:23,159 --> 00:10:24,960
saying all I'm thinking right now is a single phrase.

184
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,480
You should not be allowed to give interviews. But soon

185
00:10:27,519 --> 00:10:30,039
he was calling out Jimmy Carr, Bill Bird, Dave Chappelle

186
00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:32,879
and Jack Whitehall were playing a part in the quotes

187
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,559
cultural washing of a repressive regime. All that about the

188
00:10:36,639 --> 00:10:40,320
Riod Comedy Festival, I imagine he found the participation of those

189
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,759
who have complained about cancel culture egregious. Kumore said, I

190
00:10:43,759 --> 00:10:45,639
don't want to hear about free speech from any of

191
00:10:45,639 --> 00:10:48,639
those sea words again. He tells us he's not living

192
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,879
like a superstar. No one I know of his level

193
00:10:50,879 --> 00:10:53,000
of wealth where they have transcended the mechanism of day

194
00:10:53,039 --> 00:10:55,519
to day life. That's a Jimmy Carr level of money.

195
00:10:55,919 --> 00:10:59,679
We found out that Kumar even turned down last one,

196
00:10:59,759 --> 00:11:02,600
laughing when his agent laid the offer. She told him

197
00:11:02,639 --> 00:11:05,000
the money was really good and that Jimmy Carr was hosting.

198
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,440
Nish said, I said to her, do honestly think I

199
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,120
could say yes to this given the content of what

200
00:11:09,159 --> 00:11:11,440
I'm saying on stage right now. If I'm essentially accusing

201
00:11:11,519 --> 00:11:13,720
him of being part of the mechanism that's wondering fascist,

202
00:11:13,799 --> 00:11:16,919
misogynist ideas in the mainstream discourse, I can't then be like, oh, Jimmy,

203
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,399
isn't Bob Mortimer good? And that is your comedy news
