WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media. He me there, I'm shunning back with

2
00:00:10.679 --> 00:00:13.080
<v Speaker 1>your Daily Comedy News. So I did watch Ronnie Ching

3
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:16.480
<v Speaker 1>special and it's really good. Now let me tell you

4
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:21.039
<v Speaker 1>what I liked it. Ronnie is a great storyteller and

5
00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:23.399
<v Speaker 1>top of mine. So right before I recorded this, I

6
00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:27.559
<v Speaker 1>just recorded my end of the year rankings. So let

7
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>me double sidebar here. First of all, I've been having

8
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot of voice problems lately. As you've been listening today,

9
00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:35.439
<v Speaker 1>my voice seems strong. This is the fourth straight episode

10
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:37.399
<v Speaker 1>of Daily comed News I'm recording and the voice is

11
00:00:37.399 --> 00:00:39.759
<v Speaker 1>holding up thanks to the help of a large iced

12
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:42.079
<v Speaker 1>coffee with caramel and milk. And you get support the

13
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:43.799
<v Speaker 1>show and buy me a coffee. Dot com slash Daily

14
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:46.079
<v Speaker 1>Comedy News. Well, that's not why I bring it up.

15
00:00:46.079 --> 00:00:48.039
<v Speaker 1>I'm just happy that I have the voice to record

16
00:00:48.079 --> 00:00:50.880
<v Speaker 1>all these things. So I have Ronnie up on my list.

17
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:53.280
<v Speaker 1>I have him way up on the list. But I

18
00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:55.640
<v Speaker 1>don't agree with Jason's In a Minute is not the

19
00:00:55.719 --> 00:00:59.280
<v Speaker 1>number one special of the year. That said, I don't

20
00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:02.799
<v Speaker 1>think Jason and is crazy. So tune in on December

21
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:06.040
<v Speaker 1>twenty seventh for my complete list. But as I recorded

22
00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:08.680
<v Speaker 1>those lists, I was talking about specifically al name names,

23
00:01:08.719 --> 00:01:12.239
<v Speaker 1>Adrian Applelucci Special, and my problem with Adrian Special is

24
00:01:12.319 --> 00:01:15.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe any of the underlying premises at all.

25
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:18.599
<v Speaker 1>They're funny stories, but I need a little bit of reality.

26
00:01:18.599 --> 00:01:21.079
<v Speaker 1>Like she's telling these stories, and I don't believe anything

27
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.519
<v Speaker 1>she said actually happened. I could be wrong, but personally

28
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:26.400
<v Speaker 1>I didn't believe it. Now, as I'm watching Ronnie and

29
00:01:26.439 --> 00:01:29.599
<v Speaker 1>he does that big opening chunk about freezing his wife's eggs,

30
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:32.840
<v Speaker 1>and it's a long chunk, I believe the underlying story

31
00:01:32.959 --> 00:01:36.799
<v Speaker 1>actually happened or the details exaggerated for comedic effect. Sure,

32
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>but I don't feel like he sat at a desk

33
00:01:38.879 --> 00:01:40.799
<v Speaker 1>and said, Okay, let me just totally make up a

34
00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:43.719
<v Speaker 1>half hour story and tell it. Well, perhaps he did,

35
00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:47.599
<v Speaker 1>but I believe the underlying story. So he's a great storyteller.

36
00:01:48.280 --> 00:01:51.359
<v Speaker 1>And as he tells the stories, he will drop in tags.

37
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.000
<v Speaker 1>So that's like, you know, after a joke, you just say,

38
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>like one more short thing. And I never saw his

39
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:58.959
<v Speaker 1>tags coming, and they're all really funny. I've talked about

40
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.159
<v Speaker 1>on this podcast how I have Emperor of Rome syndrome,

41
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 1>and I'll be like, oh yeah, that's really funny, but

42
00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:05.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't actually laugh. I laughed at Ronnie Chang special,

43
00:02:05.519 --> 00:02:08.680
<v Speaker 1>so I like that one a lot. I recommend, but

44
00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:11.319
<v Speaker 1>I won't tell you how far up the list. You'll

45
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:13.520
<v Speaker 1>have to listen on the twenty seventh, twenty eighth, and

46
00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>twenty ninth for the breakdowns of those. Do you like

47
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:18.719
<v Speaker 1>Nate Burgetzi, because if you don't, you might as well

48
00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:22.439
<v Speaker 1>check out today. Nate's PR team should play Nicki Glazer's

49
00:02:22.439 --> 00:02:25.360
<v Speaker 1>PR team in the PR Team super Bowl this weekend

50
00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:29.520
<v Speaker 1>because they are both absolutely flooring it. I don't recall

51
00:02:29.560 --> 00:02:33.159
<v Speaker 1>seeing a push to this effect. On Tuesday, Nate got

52
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:36.759
<v Speaker 1>a New York Times article, a Washington Post article, and

53
00:02:37.159 --> 00:02:41.199
<v Speaker 1>a Hollywood Reporter article, all this to promote his Netflix

54
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:45.000
<v Speaker 1>special on Christmas Eve, and also tonight is Nate Burghetzi's

55
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>Nashville Christmas on CBS nine o'clock. So one thing we

56
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.360
<v Speaker 1>know about the special is, you know the George Washington

57
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:54.759
<v Speaker 1>bit he's done on the two episodes of SNL. He's

58
00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:57.599
<v Speaker 1>doing a version of that, but he's dressed as an angel.

59
00:02:57.759 --> 00:02:59.639
<v Speaker 1>One of the jokes we see in the trailers he says,

60
00:02:59.719 --> 00:03:02.039
<v Speaker 1>let this be called Christmas, and let it be celebrated

61
00:03:02.039 --> 00:03:05.039
<v Speaker 1>each year by gathering with family, by doing goodwill in

62
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.159
<v Speaker 1>his name, and by putting a big pine tree in

63
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:10.039
<v Speaker 1>your house. God commands the pine tree shall be decorated

64
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:14.039
<v Speaker 1>with glittering glass ornaments of incredible beauty, also with garbage

65
00:03:14.039 --> 00:03:16.879
<v Speaker 1>that your children make at school. Now, before you feel

66
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:19.800
<v Speaker 1>bad for the SNL people being ripped off, Lorne Michaels

67
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>is producing this special even though it's on CBS, which

68
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.639
<v Speaker 1>is interesting that it's on CBS right. SNL cast members

69
00:03:25.639 --> 00:03:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Ashley Padia and mikey Day appear in the sketches Mary

70
00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:32.639
<v Speaker 1>and Joseph, so it's not like Nate's thieving from SNL.

71
00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Naperghetzi's Nashville Christmas will feature a mix of stand up comedy,

72
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>pre taped comedy shorts, sketches, and musical performances. CBS says

73
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:43.680
<v Speaker 1>the special spots lights the heart and spirit of Nashville

74
00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:46.719
<v Speaker 1>during the holiday season and highlighting family fun and feel

75
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:49.080
<v Speaker 1>good moments. In a statement, Nate said, and I want

76
00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.199
<v Speaker 1>to make a great show for families to gather around

77
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>and watch together. And I couldn't be in better hands

78
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:56.439
<v Speaker 1>with this team. Some of his press, he said he

79
00:03:56.560 --> 00:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>met his wife Laura, while waiting tables at Applebee's in Nashville,

80
00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:01.800
<v Speaker 1>to her sense of humor and laugh. We married in

81
00:04:01.800 --> 00:04:04.879
<v Speaker 1>two thousand and six on Friday the thirteenth. His favorite

82
00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:06.879
<v Speaker 1>spot at home, I have a golf simulator room that

83
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>I added onto the house. His goal for stand up

84
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:11.360
<v Speaker 1>is to be funny on stage without saying things that

85
00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 1>will embarrass or upset his parents. In his pre stage mantra,

86
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:16.759
<v Speaker 1>I remind myself that the knight's not about me, It's

87
00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:18.639
<v Speaker 1>about the audience. Then I go out to determine and

88
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:21.480
<v Speaker 1>make them have fun. All right. Like I said, I

89
00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:23.639
<v Speaker 1>got a lot of ate today. So if you're not

90
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:25.920
<v Speaker 1>in anate, you should just bail. Let's start with the

91
00:04:25.959 --> 00:04:28.759
<v Speaker 1>Washington Post. On the headline, Nate Brighetzi wants to be

92
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:31.959
<v Speaker 1>the Walmart of comedy. They write, Nate loves fast food.

93
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:34.360
<v Speaker 1>He loves big box stores and the suburbs and TNT

94
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:38.639
<v Speaker 1>marathons of Diehard. He finds felicity in the familiar, comfort

95
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:42.079
<v Speaker 1>in the caloric originality. Any ordinary somebody worked hard on

96
00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:44.160
<v Speaker 1>that opener. The first quote we get from Nate is

97
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:46.600
<v Speaker 1>I had McDonald's last night. They caught up with Nate

98
00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:48.399
<v Speaker 1>playing golf, when we learned that he loves the pit

99
00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:51.079
<v Speaker 1>stop around the Troubadour's fifth hole. A cottage filled with

100
00:04:51.079 --> 00:04:54.319
<v Speaker 1>every temptation you can imagine, jars of candy, topshelf liquor,

101
00:04:54.839 --> 00:04:59.040
<v Speaker 1>and a drawer of fried chicken sandwiches with pimento cheese.

102
00:04:59.160 --> 00:05:01.519
<v Speaker 1>He points to the soft serve board and seems disappointed

103
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:03.480
<v Speaker 1>when no one makes a homemade version of a blizzard.

104
00:05:04.240 --> 00:05:06.800
<v Speaker 1>He really loves blizzards, he tells the post. No one

105
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:09.600
<v Speaker 1>wants to be Walmart. I want to be Walmart. When

106
00:05:09.639 --> 00:05:12.319
<v Speaker 1>George Carland was around, you needed George Carlin, you needed

107
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Lenny Bruce. Now he thinks we need something else, so

108
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:17.199
<v Speaker 1>he doesn't to push the envelope. He pulls it in.

109
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:20.360
<v Speaker 1>He loved comedy ever since childhood. When he heard Sinbad

110
00:05:20.399 --> 00:05:22.920
<v Speaker 1>do a bit about McDonald's and people not knowing what

111
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>to order, Sinbad's punch line was that they got the

112
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:29.160
<v Speaker 1>same menu. The article then talks about Nate going and

113
00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:31.759
<v Speaker 1>up to Chicago, and we've talked about that in the past.

114
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.240
<v Speaker 1>Then he hits New York City, where he loaded FedEx

115
00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:37.120
<v Speaker 1>trucks from five to ten am after being on stage

116
00:05:37.160 --> 00:05:41.040
<v Speaker 1>every night. Boy, that's rough. Pete Holmes said the landscape

117
00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:43.079
<v Speaker 1>of comedy was that nine out of ten comedians were

118
00:05:43.079 --> 00:05:45.439
<v Speaker 1>going to be kind of rough. The styles you shock

119
00:05:45.519 --> 00:05:47.720
<v Speaker 1>them and then you kick them in the place you

120
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:50.879
<v Speaker 1>kick people. Pete Holmes supposed to wear clean, Pete Holmes.

121
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Pete said Canadians and college kids always loved me and Nate.

122
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:56.959
<v Speaker 1>Home says the audience grew weary about jokes about finding

123
00:05:57.040 --> 00:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>the g spot and thatvent he and Nate were a

124
00:05:58.800 --> 00:06:02.279
<v Speaker 1>breath of fresh air at a gearshift. Mikey Day talked

125
00:06:02.319 --> 00:06:05.639
<v Speaker 1>about how the George Washington sketch has accelerated Nate's career

126
00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:07.959
<v Speaker 1>and said, I truly only think that would have worked

127
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.079
<v Speaker 1>so well with Nate. The dead eyes stare that he

128
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:12.720
<v Speaker 1>did is just so perfect a for George Washington b

129
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:16.000
<v Speaker 1>just stating these dumb facts. It was just kismet. Nate

130
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:19.160
<v Speaker 1>says the sketch shot his career into another world. I

131
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.439
<v Speaker 1>actually enjoy politics. I don't talk about them, but I

132
00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:23.040
<v Speaker 1>enjoy them. I don't think it's what people are coming

133
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:26.360
<v Speaker 1>to me for the battle isn't with other people but myself.

134
00:06:26.439 --> 00:06:29.160
<v Speaker 1>I've got to fight myself. It's easy to feel self important.

135
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:30.759
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a crazy take ever, so I don't

136
00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:33.000
<v Speaker 1>get the quick hits, a lot of comic sketch. He's

137
00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:36.160
<v Speaker 1>got his company, Nate Land, and the guideposts for Nateland content.

138
00:06:36.240 --> 00:06:38.480
<v Speaker 1>We're starting at PG, but you can talk to me

139
00:06:38.480 --> 00:06:41.120
<v Speaker 1>into PG thirteen. That's a good rule. That's kind of

140
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:43.759
<v Speaker 1>what I try to do here. His production company has

141
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:47.360
<v Speaker 1>ambitions beyond comedy. Why not apply clean and different movie genres?

142
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:50.120
<v Speaker 1>For example, horror, let's not show someone's bones, says Nate.

143
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:52.480
<v Speaker 1>Romantic comedy. He says, we've had a lot of sex

144
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:54.759
<v Speaker 1>scenes in movies. There's not much left on the table.

145
00:06:55.319 --> 00:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>He has some taglines good clean, scary, good clean, dramatic,

146
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.000
<v Speaker 1>good clean. Bill Burth said, there's people who work clean.

147
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.319
<v Speaker 1>There are absolute cornballs that sound like they're doing comedy

148
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.360
<v Speaker 1>for forty years ago. Then this guy's like Nate, whose

149
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:08.560
<v Speaker 1>jokes are so good you don't even realize he's working clean.

150
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:10.480
<v Speaker 1>Nate says of his own comedy, it's just going to

151
00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:12.160
<v Speaker 1>be me being dumb, and you can laugh with me

152
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:15.439
<v Speaker 1>or laugh at me. My specials are rated PG. One

153
00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:16.959
<v Speaker 1>of them was rated G. I'll be honest with you,

154
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:19.759
<v Speaker 1>it's a little embarrassing. The New York Times had an

155
00:07:19.879 --> 00:07:21.959
<v Speaker 1>article that was just one of the articles, and check

156
00:07:22.000 --> 00:07:24.720
<v Speaker 1>your watch. We are deep into this podcast already today.

157
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Right the second one, Nate Bergetzi wants your family to

158
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:31.319
<v Speaker 1>stop fighting for an hour maybe two. They cover the

159
00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:34.240
<v Speaker 1>same beats, including the George Washington sketch. Nate says, I

160
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:36.199
<v Speaker 1>don't want your family fighting. There's plenty of times you're

161
00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:38.279
<v Speaker 1>gonna be fighting. So if I can be your one

162
00:07:38.279 --> 00:07:41.279
<v Speaker 1>hour you don't fight, we get the sindbad story again,

163
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:43.920
<v Speaker 1>then we get I remember when my dad brought Brian

164
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:46.639
<v Speaker 1>Reagan's CD at a truck stop. He said, I'll pull

165
00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:48.240
<v Speaker 1>over because he was laughing so hard. My Dad's just

166
00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:49.720
<v Speaker 1>driving in the middle of the night on the interstate

167
00:07:49.759 --> 00:07:51.319
<v Speaker 1>and he's like, I can't even drive because I have

168
00:07:51.319 --> 00:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>to get this out of my system. Then I listened

169
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:54.879
<v Speaker 1>to it and it was that funny. To this day

170
00:07:54.879 --> 00:07:56.600
<v Speaker 1>in my head, I want someone to laugh so hard,

171
00:07:56.639 --> 00:07:59.639
<v Speaker 1>to just have that experience. When I was younger, someone

172
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:02.279
<v Speaker 1>said he always wrote me a Bob Newhart That meant

173
00:08:02.399 --> 00:08:04.199
<v Speaker 1>not a lot of energy, not a big presence. But

174
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:06.040
<v Speaker 1>I was a fan of Bob Newhart. I loved his albums.

175
00:08:06.079 --> 00:08:08.120
<v Speaker 1>In a sitcoms, I like that I was gonna be

176
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:10.120
<v Speaker 1>more of that person. I was way more deadpan at

177
00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:11.519
<v Speaker 1>the beginning, and I did move around a lot. I

178
00:08:11.560 --> 00:08:13.519
<v Speaker 1>never moved. Being from the South and having this accent

179
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:15.720
<v Speaker 1>and talking slower, I always sounded pretty different, especially when

180
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I was in New York. So I learned how to

181
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:19.079
<v Speaker 1>write jokes first, and I feel like I'm getting more

182
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:21.439
<v Speaker 1>in my voice now. I auditioned for the Daily Show.

183
00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:24.279
<v Speaker 1>It was down to me and Jordan Klepper. Jordan was better.

184
00:08:24.399 --> 00:08:26.079
<v Speaker 1>I did so bad. It was a quick no. I

185
00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:28.079
<v Speaker 1>was gonna meet my buddy for lunch. I didn't make

186
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:30.439
<v Speaker 1>it to the restaurant before they called and said, you're fine,

187
00:08:30.439 --> 00:08:33.279
<v Speaker 1>don't worry about it. I mean, look, I wanted it,

188
00:08:33.320 --> 00:08:34.919
<v Speaker 1>but if you look back, it's like, man, it's really

189
00:08:34.919 --> 00:08:36.840
<v Speaker 1>good that I didn't get that, because I clearly wasn't

190
00:08:36.879 --> 00:08:38.480
<v Speaker 1>ready for it, and I could have really shot my

191
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:41.919
<v Speaker 1>career in another direction. Ah, this is interesting. I didn't

192
00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:44.919
<v Speaker 1>know the scene. There's always connections in Hollywood. And this

193
00:08:45.000 --> 00:08:48.799
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean Nate is bad, but just you gotta understand

194
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:52.200
<v Speaker 1>how show business works, and it's who you know. Nate

195
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:55.279
<v Speaker 1>tells the Times. My management company does a lot with SNL.

196
00:08:55.320 --> 00:08:58.639
<v Speaker 1>They have Seth Meyers, Adam Sandler, David Spade. I knew

197
00:08:58.639 --> 00:09:00.559
<v Speaker 1>my name had been thrown around, think it was anything

198
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:02.200
<v Speaker 1>too serious. They were just letting its sit there. Then

199
00:09:02.240 --> 00:09:03.600
<v Speaker 1>they came to one of my shows in Vegas, and

200
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:05.519
<v Speaker 1>they came when I was in Radio City. The actor

201
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:07.600
<v Speaker 1>strike was going on and comedians weren't our own void.

202
00:09:07.639 --> 00:09:10.159
<v Speaker 1>We didn't have anything all that, and then it was like,

203
00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:12.200
<v Speaker 1>you know what, we have a hosting spot in two weeks.

204
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:13.639
<v Speaker 1>And I went from I didn't really know what was

205
00:09:13.639 --> 00:09:16.000
<v Speaker 1>going to happen, now this is happening. My career felt

206
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:17.840
<v Speaker 1>like a steady climb s and I was a big leap.

207
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:20.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm glad my career before it was a slow build.

208
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:21.519
<v Speaker 1>So you're a bit of a hand a little better.

209
00:09:21.519 --> 00:09:23.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's all slow until it's as fast as

210
00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:26.279
<v Speaker 1>it can be. Some philosophy from Nate Television is chasing

211
00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.120
<v Speaker 1>social media, and I don't think it should. My company's

212
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:29.799
<v Speaker 1>done very well on social media, but I don't make

213
00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:31.480
<v Speaker 1>it for that. You need to make your thing in

214
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:32.960
<v Speaker 1>the full way. And then I hope that the clips

215
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:35.399
<v Speaker 1>go wherever they go. There's not a lot because they're

216
00:09:35.399 --> 00:09:37.000
<v Speaker 1>on to watch as a family That's why Friends in

217
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.960
<v Speaker 1>Seinfeld and Ray are still some of the most watched shows.

218
00:09:40.000 --> 00:09:41.919
<v Speaker 1>It's not because people don't want it. They do want it,

219
00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:43.960
<v Speaker 1>they're just not being given it. The goal with the

220
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:45.799
<v Speaker 1>variety shows to be able to have people come together

221
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:47.799
<v Speaker 1>and sit in their house and watch something dumb and silly.

222
00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:50.080
<v Speaker 1>If you ever see a donkey perform a high diving act,

223
00:09:50.120 --> 00:09:52.799
<v Speaker 1>put it in your set. All right, I got another one.

224
00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:54.960
<v Speaker 1>I told you. It was any Burghazzy Day, the Hollywood

225
00:09:54.960 --> 00:09:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Porternybergatzi conquered Comedy. Hollywood is Next. We learned that in

226
00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:03.159
<v Speaker 1>twenty fourteen, Nate was making a Jimmy Fallon Produce sitcom pilot.

227
00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Nate said, when it was happening, I remember my buddy

228
00:10:05.639 --> 00:10:07.279
<v Speaker 1>was like, this is your shot, So if it doesn't work,

229
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:09.039
<v Speaker 1>that's it. I was kind of annoyed by that at

230
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:10.320
<v Speaker 1>the time, but I think it helped me. It'd put

231
00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:12.360
<v Speaker 1>a little chip on my shoulder. I thought for sure

232
00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:14.120
<v Speaker 1>it would go. When I look back, I'm very glad

233
00:10:14.159 --> 00:10:16.240
<v Speaker 1>it didn't because I have a lot more of control

234
00:10:16.279 --> 00:10:18.000
<v Speaker 1>of where I want to go now, and I don't

235
00:10:18.000 --> 00:10:19.679
<v Speaker 1>think I would have had that then. I would have

236
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:22.039
<v Speaker 1>been too young and not a good enough comedian or performer.

237
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Yet I look back on a lot of stuff like that,

238
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:25.639
<v Speaker 1>had I gotten it, my career could have gone in

239
00:10:25.679 --> 00:10:28.159
<v Speaker 1>a different direction. And he tells the Daily Show anecdote,

240
00:10:28.279 --> 00:10:31.600
<v Speaker 1>OLLI reporter, he almost had sitcoms at NBC, Fox, ABC, Netflix.

241
00:10:31.639 --> 00:10:33.759
<v Speaker 1>Was there any kind of threw line other feedback? No,

242
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:35.519
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think there was a lot of entertainment

243
00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:37.519
<v Speaker 1>made for people not on the coast during that period.

244
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.840
<v Speaker 1>They'd tell you they wanted multicams and stuff that's designed

245
00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:41.879
<v Speaker 1>for co viewing. Then you'd pitch one of people who

246
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:44.960
<v Speaker 1>aren't watching multicams. They want them because it looks good

247
00:10:44.960 --> 00:10:46.759
<v Speaker 1>in their budget, but then they're like, well, this show's

248
00:10:46.799 --> 00:10:48.720
<v Speaker 1>not fun, yeah, because the show's not made for you.

249
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:50.559
<v Speaker 1>So it was like there's a lot of that for

250
00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:52.519
<v Speaker 1>a long time, but now shifting and everybody seems to

251
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:55.159
<v Speaker 1>want broader again. We have a comic Derek Strup, who

252
00:10:55.159 --> 00:10:56.639
<v Speaker 1>was on my Christmas special that he comes on the

253
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:57.919
<v Speaker 1>road with me a lot, and he's someone I was

254
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:01.159
<v Speaker 1>telling CBS like, this is Kevin James. Make that show again.

255
00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Just have it be something fun that everybody can watch

256
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:04.159
<v Speaker 1>for thirty minutes and then you can go back to

257
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:07.960
<v Speaker 1>your murder show. He says, the Christmas Show is the

258
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:10.320
<v Speaker 1>most exciting thing I've done. If it does well, that's

259
00:11:10.360 --> 00:11:12.000
<v Speaker 1>the one thing I could see doing for an extended

260
00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:13.919
<v Speaker 1>period of time that would be fun. Right if this

261
00:11:13.960 --> 00:11:17.080
<v Speaker 1>became an annual tradition, Olli reporter, you worry about alienating

262
00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:19.320
<v Speaker 1>an audience a lot. What drives that? Nate's I don't

263
00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:21.679
<v Speaker 1>want anybody to feel better or uncomfortable. Would break my

264
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:24.080
<v Speaker 1>heart if somebody thought that I thought I'm better than them.

265
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:26.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to be for everybody. I mean, that's

266
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:27.919
<v Speaker 1>the goal. I grew up eating a chain restaurant and

267
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.639
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to Walmart. I'm on board with selling everything

268
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:32.279
<v Speaker 1>to everybody. A lot of times people be like, my

269
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:34.120
<v Speaker 1>comedy isn't for everybody, and there's a pride in that,

270
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:36.080
<v Speaker 1>but never click for me. I was always like, why

271
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:37.919
<v Speaker 1>would you not want everybody to come to your show?

272
00:11:38.519 --> 00:11:41.159
<v Speaker 1>A little more about the Daily Show port Nate says,

273
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:43.039
<v Speaker 1>I was not good. I auditioned with John Stewart and

274
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I'd heard that they'd like my audition, at least that's

275
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:46.759
<v Speaker 1>what Hassan told me. Then I go to the Daily

276
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:48.399
<v Speaker 1>Show and I'm with John at the desk. That was good,

277
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:49.840
<v Speaker 1>and then I had to read to John Oliver part

278
00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:51.639
<v Speaker 1>John Oliver uses a lot of words that I don't

279
00:11:51.639 --> 00:11:52.919
<v Speaker 1>really know what they mean or how to say them.

280
00:11:53.000 --> 00:11:54.759
<v Speaker 1>It was bad and I had the suit on didn't fit.

281
00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:56.159
<v Speaker 1>I look like I was going to divorce court to

282
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.679
<v Speaker 1>get my daughter back or something. They called me before

283
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:00.320
<v Speaker 1>I even was back in my hotel. Right, I've heard

284
00:12:00.320 --> 00:12:03.600
<v Speaker 1>that part already and there's like six more paragraphs, but

285
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:05.919
<v Speaker 1>I am nate it out and I have to take

286
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:08.399
<v Speaker 1>a commercial break. So behind the scenes, if I don't

287
00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:11.000
<v Speaker 1>take a commercial break before the twenty minute mark, the

288
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:14.120
<v Speaker 1>automation will force one. So let me put one by

289
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:16.639
<v Speaker 1>design and then we'll come back and maybe we'll do

290
00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:18.960
<v Speaker 1>three sections today. You got an your money's worth today,

291
00:12:19.080 --> 00:12:23.080
<v Speaker 1>be right back. Rose Matta Fayo has a special out

292
00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:25.960
<v Speaker 1>on Max Today. The La Times caught up with Rosen.

293
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:29.279
<v Speaker 1>We learned that she started doing comedy workshops at age fifteen.

294
00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:31.480
<v Speaker 1>She's now thirty two, which means she's been doing stand

295
00:12:31.519 --> 00:12:33.320
<v Speaker 1>up for more than half her life, a fact she

296
00:12:33.320 --> 00:12:36.360
<v Speaker 1>says makes her feel a panic slightly rising in my chest.

297
00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:39.279
<v Speaker 1>She talks on stage about relatability and the need for

298
00:12:39.440 --> 00:12:42.360
<v Speaker 1>female comics to be self deprecating, but she says she

299
00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:44.720
<v Speaker 1>does not come from a place of imposter syndrome. That's

300
00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:46.320
<v Speaker 1>the one thing I don't think I have. I have

301
00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:49.799
<v Speaker 1>everything else, low self esteem, terrible relationship with myself, all

302
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:52.039
<v Speaker 1>those things you're supposed to have in your thirties. In

303
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:54.360
<v Speaker 1>On and on and on, we check in with Rose

304
00:12:54.399 --> 00:12:56.639
<v Speaker 1>after a real life breakup where everybody from her grandmother

305
00:12:56.720 --> 00:12:58.840
<v Speaker 1>to her housekeepers like Garol, move on. You weren't together

306
00:12:58.919 --> 00:13:01.480
<v Speaker 1>long enough to be this upset. She talks about chronicling

307
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>her feelings in the notes app and this real experience

308
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.440
<v Speaker 1>of suddenly understanding her parents better. But she's now the

309
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:08.960
<v Speaker 1>age they were when she was a kid. She cut

310
00:13:09.039 --> 00:13:11.600
<v Speaker 1>some jokes from her live performances. They were jokes about

311
00:13:11.639 --> 00:13:14.679
<v Speaker 1>Taylor Swift and Michael Jackson. Tho was cut for time.

312
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:16.399
<v Speaker 1>One of the jokes is who has the time to

313
00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:19.960
<v Speaker 1>get docks online by superfans, But a joke about the

314
00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:24.200
<v Speaker 1>attractiveness of Wallougi from Mario Kart was obviously written and

315
00:13:24.240 --> 00:13:27.120
<v Speaker 1>recorded before their real world arrest of Luigi, the guy

316
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:30.639
<v Speaker 1>accused of shooting the United Healthcare CEO. That one stayed

317
00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.080
<v Speaker 1>in Ro says, in your twenties you almost think you

318
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:34.879
<v Speaker 1>kind of got it together and now I'm staring at

319
00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:36.399
<v Speaker 1>this next bit where you're like, yeah, but you don't

320
00:13:36.399 --> 00:13:38.600
<v Speaker 1>know anything. You kind of have to accept the randomness

321
00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:40.720
<v Speaker 1>of life, where friends marrying, of kids and the generation

322
00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:43.519
<v Speaker 1>above you get sick and dies. She says she's always

323
00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:45.720
<v Speaker 1>had an interest in death. The first show she performed

324
00:13:45.759 --> 00:13:49.039
<v Speaker 1>at Edinburgh Fringe was about her own funeral and involved

325
00:13:49.080 --> 00:13:51.559
<v Speaker 1>her jumping out of a coffin in a jeweled tuxedo.

331
00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:14.120
