Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media.
Speaker 2: It's Monday the thirteenth, which feels like it should be
a thing, but Monday the thirteenth's not a thing. Johnny MACKA, Hello,
this is your daily Comedy News, a daily briefing on
stand up comedy comedians on the comedy industry. He said,
it's the algorithm Loves. They put out a trailer for
this Kevin Hart thing, Funny af This is the comedy
competition on Netflix where they're gonna pick the next great
stand up And let me tell you, I think this
trailer's really good. I'm surprised. I'm surprised at myself because
they tend to be a hater about such things. Why
are you such a hater, Johnny Mack. Here's why. Because
they used to have these things on NBC last Comic
Standing and a bunch of those, and people would come
to me and be like, hey, Johnny Mack, how come
you're not playing so and so on the Comedy Channel?
And I'd be like, because so and so has got
eight seconds of good material and you saw it on
TV last night. I get it. On this show, Kevin
Hart is joined by Keagan Michael keat Thomp Sagora, kamil On,
Johnny Chelsea Handler, and Nikki Glazer, and they're on the
trailer and about to play for you. I think we
hear We definitely hear Kamal Chelsea, and I think we
hear Keegan. I don't think we hear Sigora and Glazer
in this trailer, but I watched it about three hours ago,
so maybe I'm forgetful. Anyway, this is a little long,
but good. Let's listen. Funny a ed is the search
for the next great stand up? To me, we have
an opportunity to discover who the next person could be.
The competition on Netflix for a large prize. What is
this squid game? There's never been a comedy competition that
actually captures the real grind of stand up. I don't
have anything else.
Speaker 1: There's no backup plan.
Speaker 3: I swow ice cream.
Speaker 2: Hopefully I ain't got to do that.
Speaker 1: No moment. Is this person that's winning getting a Netflix special?
Speaker 2: Great? When were you gonna.
Speaker 3: Tell me that?
Speaker 2: Joining me or some of my friends who also happen
to be some of the most trusted voices in comedy.
When we go to Chicago, can I write in your
private job?
Speaker 1: Okay? So let's talk offline. We figure it out. Okay.
I used to work ed an STD center. Maybe some
of you recognize me. Some people have that thing. Now
you'll the honest crowd. This is the type of crowd
in MAS Comedians drop home with no music. It's how
you surprised us. Every race God hateable things.
Speaker 2: East As is very smart, but they drive their kids
too hard.
Speaker 1: Right, Black people are perfect.
Speaker 2: Yours vote on who will win it all? I'm not
going out without a fight, can't. I got back up.
It will be one winner. This person is going to
be conque of us, the next household name.
Speaker 1: This is an opportunity will you be ready for?
Speaker 2: When you started talking, I was like, I don't think
Kevin knows what he's gonna say it, but that was
very inspiring. I mean I've read things inspiring.
Speaker 1: Well, I've actually thought about this well.
Speaker 2: Like, do you know it's my show? Kevin Art joined
by Keith and Michael Key, Tom Sigour, Camilan and Johnny,
Chelsea Handler and Nikki Glazer. They will be special guest judges.
The series premiere is April twentyeth. New episodes released over
the course of three weeks. The semi final and finale
live on Netflix at nine Eastern May fourth and fifth.
Viewers around the world will be able to vote in
real time during the live shows for their favorite standup comedian,
and the winner will be announced live on the fifth,
which means Johnny Mexican have to work nighttime and he
doesn't like that. There are a lot of contestants here.
Let's see, you're not going to know these names. I'm
not going to read off fifty names. But out of
New York City, you've got a guy from Queen's, two
guys from Queens. Wait, Leonard Ootz is on this thing.
Leonard's been around for twenty years. Leonard's really good. But
this is Oh wait, Kaitln wait, hold on, I got
to back up. I gotta read this. I was scrolling
down at names that I didn't recognize. But Kaitlin Palufo
has been around, Leonard Ootz has been around for twenty
years at least, and Asama Sadik out of Brooklyn has
been around. There's some of your New York contestants. Now,
my New York snobbery is coming out because the Queen's
people are like, we're from Queens. The Brooklyn people who
are saying we're from Brooklyn, and some people are saying
I'm from New York City, New York, which means you're
not a real New Yorker, you're a transplant living in Manhattan.
Because Leonard Oitz says he's from Horrlem, New York. Now,
if you don't know the geography, he could have just
said I'm from New York, New York or Manhattan as well,
but he said Hornlem, which is very specific and tells
me something about Leonard Dowitz, who I'm going to root
for it because I find him really funny. We have
LA contestants. Let me see here if I recognize any names. Nope, Chicago.
And what's interesting is under the Chicago contestants we seem
to have leftover. See, all the New York people are
from New York or New Jersey in the New York suburbs.
The LA people are all from LA. And then there's
the Chicago contestants, which include people from Brooklyn, New York,
and Atlanta, Georgia and Austin, Texas. And so it seems
like Chicago is the cash hall, which is weird because
Chicago is a great comedy city. In New York City, Tonight,
it's the Gordon of Dreams at Radio City Music Hall.
Headliners include John Oliver, the New York Times favorite political commentator,
Andrew Schultz. Also Ronnie Chang is Zarn't a garg back
from the Ria Commed Festival, Josh Johnson, and Eliza Slessinger.
Steve sharipa friend of mine, worked with him, been in
his car. He is the event's host. Love Steve Chris
has been encouraging me to tell more stories. All right,
So here we are. We're in Las Vegas. We're out there.
We're doing the Wise Guys Show. I don't remember why
I wind up in Steve Shirippa's car. I don't know
if he's driving me back to the hotel or we
had to go to his whatever he's driving and I'm
riding shotgun and I will never forget this. And I
have told this to people over the years. Steve, I
hope I'm not telling a story out of school here,
but it's been twenty years. You'll be okay, and Steve
goes Johnny. People think I'm rich, and don't get me wrong.
When we do the show, meaning the Sopranos, I'm paid
really well. Then we make ten of them, and then
I set around for two years and I went, huh, interesting,
good guy, really really good guy. Steve Sharipa in empress
release said, the Garden of Dreams Foundation has impacted the
lives of hundreds of thousands of young people in their
families in the Tri State area of the last twenty years.
And it's incredible events like Garden of Laughs that helped
make that possible. Friend of the Show, Mark, Now, Jamarco,
we're watching. We're gonna see if you go Gaffigan because
people know that you've been on the show. I think
it's four times now. We got to see. At some
point I'm gonna be on this very podcast in my
basement going yeah, I can't get John Marco on the
show anymore, and that's how we'll know he has made it.
But so far, cool guy still comes on. And good
news for a friend of the show John Marco Ciresi.
The downside, his weekly podcast is moving to Vox Media's
podcast network. Now why that's good news. I mean, you
and I don't care, but it means he's gonna make
a lot more money. The Box people they have big
podcasts that make money. Box Media put out a presser
saying the podcast embraces the negatives of life with humor
and honesty, and is a place where complaining is encouraged,
negativity is celebrated, and silver linings are debunked. Fox Media
takes over sales, marketing, and distribution for the podcast. The
podcast was previously with comedy podcast network Hitgum. John Marco
Soresi said, I'm thrilled to join a network that grants
Oh no, that's a half assed millennium pression, and John
Marco doesn't sound like milleni at all. We've established this.
John Marco said, I'm thrilled network that grants us a
completely unearned air of intelligence. His YouTube channel has one
point three eight million subscribers. His instagram has one point
two million followers. Lilian zoo These, vice president of podcast
Vox Media, said, JN Marco and Russell have built a
hilarious and smart show where complaining has never been more fun.
They're dynamic with their guests and genuine affection for each
other makes every episode a reliably good time. You could
tell that she gets the vibe. You could tell Lillian
has listened to a lot of episodes of the show
and as a big fan. You could tell we're excited
to partner and build on their success to bring the
downside to audiences everywhere. Uh huh, gab Iglesias. He's launching
a family friendly fast channel, Fluffy TV. Now, if you
don't know what a fast channel is, you know if
you go on two B or one of those, there's
these things that like will just be like streaming Colombo
all day. Those are fast channels. On Fluffy TV, audiences
will find programming including classic and contemporary comedy films, stand
up specials, sketch comedy, and original series. I will be
shocked if they throw any money and put an original
series on this thing. I'm saying that loud.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: Maybe they'll produce something that will air on Netflix and
repurpose it, but they're not going to produce something for
a fast channel. There's not that much money in these things.
I don't buy it. Fluffy TV will be wherever you
get your fast channels, including Amazon Prime, Google TV, Optimum Stream,
the Roku Channel, tv O plus, Xfinity X one, et cetera,
et cetera.
Speaker 1: I bought a house with that money, so I don't
care what you say.
Speaker 2: FUSE Media's chief business Officer Patrick Courtney said, Gabriel Iglacias
is one of the top most beloved comics in the world.
Fluffy TV brings that spirited to fast, creating a widely
appealing channel where audiences can come together for comedy that
feels inclusive, joyful, and authentic. Gab Igalacias said, I've always
believed comedy is better when everyone could be in on
the joke. Fluffy TV is the kind of channel you
can turn on with your friends, your parents, your kids,
whoever's in the room. It's packed with stand up movies
and shows that are made to make people laugh together.
It is unclear if the channel will be available in
Saudi Arabia. Saturday Night Live has announced the rest of
the lineup. I g I heard that one. I got
that one in Saturday Night Live as it has the
lineup before the rest of the year, and boy, it's
a good one. It's so good. I think Lauren should
call it a day. I know I say that once
a year. May sewond Olivia Rodrigo is host and musical guest.
My daughter will be all over that episode. Matt Damon
hosts on May ninth. Musical guest Noah Khan. I've got
Noah con tickets this summer. Matt Damon will be promoting
Christopher Nolan's highly anticipated film The Honysty, which hits theaters
July seventeenth. Noah Khan's fourth album, The Great Divide, is
out April twenty fourth, and then to close out the
season on May sixteenth. How's this for a lineup? Will
Ferrell and Paul McCartney. Will Ferrell is promoting his new
comedy series The Hawk, which will be on Netflix this summer.
Paul McCartney promoting The Boys of Dungeon Lane, an album
out May twenty ninth. Lauren Michaels are you listening? I
know Lauren listens. He doesn't miss an episode of this, Lauren,
Will and McCartney. That's gonna crush. You're not gonna top that.
It's only gonna get worse. What are you gonna do?
Have Morsello as do Domingo. Get out. It's been a
good run. You're eighty one, eighty two years old? Now
how old's Louren Michael's Lauren is eighty one years old?
Lauren get out? Have everybody go, Oh my god. That
was the greatest thing with Will and McCartney and McCartney
can do like a seventeen minute version of hate You
to wrap up this show. Everyone will be like, how
great was that? And then you walk away and then
next year everyone will be like, wow, snow really sucks.
I mean, Ashley pe D is okay, but Marcel Ornandez
does one thing, one thing well. And what's going on
here in Chloe Feynman? Uh yeah, get out, get Out,
get Out, get out boy. That was fun. I bumped
five stories, which means I have a lot for tomorrow already.
The Moon Tower Comedy Festival, it's kinda started, but really
kicks into gear on the fifteenth. They put out some
pressers and we're told, this isn't just a comedy festival.
It's a choose your own adventure of stand up legends,
rising stars, podcasters, sketch chaos, karaoke fueled late nights, and yes,
actual goblins at happy hour. They announced second Wave headliners.
So these are the people that didn't make the initial
press release. We're told second Wave headliners. The twenty twenty
six the lineup gets even wilder. Your second Wave headliners
include Meg Statler you may know her from Hacks, Sarah Sherman.
You may know her from Saturday Night Live, Lucy Dorling.
I don't know where you know her from, but she
returns with her signature blend of old Hollywood glamour, razor,
sharp wit and jaw dropping magic. I don't feel I
agree to do a list of names today. Let me
skim it. Yakov Smirnoff, is there, Guy brainam Nish, Kumar,
Bet Stelling, Cristelle Alonzo, Kathy Griffin, Veer does, and we're
encouraged to get a badge. All right? How do the
badges work? Badges include access to one hundred plus comedians
and NonStop club shows and after parties and pre sale
access to headlining shows at the Paramount and State Theater.
How what do you suppose to badge? Is? Huh? Well,
I'm on the website. Badges on sale now. Club Badge
ninety nine bucks fees included. There you get entry to
all four nights of club shows. Okay, we could get
club Premium three hundred dollars fees included. Thank you for that.
All laughs, No lines. This badge is for the comedy
connas who knows what they like and wants to be
the first person through the door. The only difference I'm seeing,
and I'm sure there are other significant differences, but uh,
the ninety nine dollars one says entry to four nights
of club shows plus seventy two hour pre sale nightly parties.
The three hundred dollars one says skip the line, entry
to all four nights of club shows plus seventy two
hour pre sale blah blah blah, skip the line at
designated bars and nightly parties. I'll wait online. Thanks, Why
don't we get the full Moon badge? That's fifteen hundred
dollars and yes, the fees are included. I mean they're
not going to rip you off, they'll include the fees.
The Full Moon Badge, of course, is the ultimate comedy experience,
and it's limited quality. They're not going to just sell
as many of these as they can. They camp it.
And the limited Quality badge I'm punching today. The Limited
Quality badge includes all the benefits of the club Premium badge,
you know that's the one where you skip the lines.
Plus it includes your choice of ten paramount and State
shows from April seven through the nineteenth, with guaranteed seating
in the first three rows, which if you're a comedy connoisseur.
You don't actually want you don't want to be right
in the front. Now I have bad news for you.
I lied. I just see here. It's sold out. My
apologies to the Moontower, a comedy festival of people. Clearly
they will cap this and not sell as many as
they can. There's also a daily wristband for fifty dollars
plus fees. Why does this one have plus fees? Everything
else didn't include the fees? This one f you. You're
paying the fees cheap? Oh, you're only free for one
night with Joys the club. With a daily wristband, you
get access to one night of shows and parties. Pre
sale access not included. Oh how much the fees are?
I'm gonna buy one? Well, I'm not actually gonna buy one.
We're gonna pretend to buy one, right, how I want?
I do? Here, I'm clicking, let's buy one for Wednesday night?
Loading very slowly. Now we're told wristband sixty dollars fees included.
So there's ten dollars of fees, which makes me wonder,
what's the ten dollars in fees including? Huh? That is
the Moontower Festival. We'll talk about that later in the week.
Want to check out on Melbourne? Yeah, because I pulled
a clip. Here is Stephen k Amos. I have made
some minor edits here because he said some F bombs.
I know I've been letting more curses through lately and
I was thinking about this at the National Donut Chain.
I think society has changed the younger people. They can't
get through a sentence without cursing. And you know, I
try and keep the show quote unquote clean, or like
match game clean or naughty clean, if you know what
I mean. But I don't like the out and out
F bombs. But we've been letting some s words through
in a couple other words that in the past I
wouldn't let through because it's the way people speak. If
I can take it out and not change the gist
of what's being said, I usually do, but sometimes I can't.
But I don't want to do the F bombs. So
here's Stephen k Amos minor edits for F bombs. I
do like Steven a lot.
Speaker 1: Thank you so very much, lovely to be here.
Speaker 3: I was actually in Australia a year ago, which is
approximately four British prime ministers ago, because that is indeed
how we now count late time in the United Kingdom.
I just come here and to piss out of you
guys for your revolving door of prime ministers.
Speaker 1: But in the UK you've gone, what a good idea.
Let's take that home. And one of our prime ministers
was somebody by them of Liz truss. You may have heard.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Now Liz Trusfer is in office for a month
and you may not have heard this, but apparently Liz
trust was the person who killed the queen.
Speaker 1: Or did not know?
Speaker 3: Yes, the last pictures of her Majesty was meeting then
Prime Minister and the picture of the magic bow. Now
in my job, I've also been fortunate to meet her
late Majesty. I did a big show in the United
Kingdom and I said, my kin't a comedy they go
for that? Said, yes, you'll be fine. However, you'll meet
the queen afterwards. And there's protocol, I said, what's the protocol?
That don't look her in the eye, speak only she
speaks to you. And above all you have to bow?
Is that what me bow for another living human being?
Nowhere in my eyes all meta equal. I was gonna
stand my ground. We finished the show.
Speaker 1: I'm in the night.
Speaker 3: Who want the other performance? I'll see the queen folks.
As soon as she gets in front of me, my
knees went. I bowed like a bitch.
Speaker 1: Hello, Hello, thank you for everything, thank you for saving
my people. How was this close? Licking the back of
her head and putting it on an envelope?
Speaker 2: Stam coming up at noon eastern. It is Comedy Survivor.
We were down to Nikki Glazer, Sarah Silverman and John Mlaney.
The listeners have voted one of those three people off
a Comedy Island, and at noon Eastern today I will
