Speaker 1: Callaroga shock Media, are there. I'm Johnny Mack with your
daily Comedy News, A daily briefing on stand up comedy,
comedians and the comedy industry, A cent as the Algorithm loves.
Malania Trump has demanded that ABC take a stand and
fire Jimmy Kimmel over what Malania Trump described as his
hateful and violent rhetoric, calling Jimmy kim L a coward
that engages in atrocious behavior. Now, last week, Jimmy Kimmel
had done a fake White House correspondence dinner again last
week before the incident on Saturday night, Kimmel did this
comedy routine last week. In the comedy routine, Jimmy Kimmel
had joked that missus Trump had the glow of an
expectant widow. I wasn't in the writer's room, but as
a semi comedy expert, I will suspect that the nature
of that joke was a commentary on the President not
always looking healthy. Anyway. After the incident on Saturday night,
the clip resurfaced. It was now recontextualized, obviously on social media.
Milania Trump's account wrote, Kimmel's hateful and violent rhetoric is
intended to divide our country. His monologue about my family
isn't comedy. His words are corrosive and deepens the political
sickness within America. People like Kimmel shouldn't have the opportunity
to enter our homes each evening to spread hate. A coward,
Kimmel hides behind ABC because he knows the network will
keep running cover to protect him. Enough is enough. It's
time for ABC to take a stand. How many times
will ABC's leadership enable Kimmel's atrocious behavior at the expense
of our community. I'm not going to replay the clip
because I'm not looking to stir that pod. Also, if
you're in the Facebook group, you know about this. So
here's what happened on my end in Sunday Morning show,
I had the Kimmel bit, so if you do want
to hear it, it's there if you want to go
back and hear it. And then I was watching the
Knicks on Saturday night and as the next game was
wrapping up, I saw the news from the White House
correspondents dinner and I switched over to CNN and at
around nine thirty, I thought to myself, you know what,
I shouldn't play this Kimmel material because it is now recontextualized,
and I don't want to make fun of potentially tragic event.
And it's breaking news here and we don't know what
has happened yet, So let me take the Kimmel stuff out.
And I sat down and I made an edit, and
I uploaded a new version of the show that didn't
contain the Kimmel material. So then on Sunday morning, I'm
driving to the National Donut Chain listening back to the show.
I always listened back to the show to see if
they're new mistakes, and to my horror, the Kimmel material
will still in there. I'm befuddled as to how that happened.
And I'm positive I made the audio edit because A
I have it, and B I specifically remember having to
move the commercial marker because when you change the audio,
the show got shorter, so the commercial marker had to
move to where the commercial hole was. So I'm positive
that I uploaded it. I don't know what happened. Maybe
I didn't hit safe, maybe something happened with the computers.
I don't know, but anyway, the point being, I heard
the Kimmel clip and I was like, oh no, so
the Facebook group knows that I felt truly bad about that,
and I come in peace. I like to make fun
of stuff. I like to be rascally. I don't come
in hate at all. So back to Kimmel again. He
made these jokes last week, and I don't think these
were violent jokes. I think he was just goofing about
the president's age and general health. And I don't think
Jimmy would have done the same bit on say Monday
Night show. After a potential shooting later in the day,
the President of the United States weighed in, saying, I
appreciate that so many people are incensed by Kimmel's despicable
call to violence, and normally would not be responsitive to
anything that he said, but this is something far beyond
the pale. Jimmy Kimmel should be immediately fired by Disney
and ABC. Jimmy Kimmel hosted his show on Monday Night
and responded. Jimmy said, you know, sometimes you wake up
in the morning and the first lady puts out a
statement demanding you'd be fired from your job. We've all
been there, right. He then cleared up the joke, which
is kind of what I think it was Obviously it
was a joke about their age difference, and of joy
we see on her face every time they're together, who
is a very light roast joke about the fact that
he's almost eighty and she's younger than I am. It
was not, by any stretch of the definition, a call
to assassination. And they know that I've been very vocal
for many years speaking out against gun violence in particular.
The other late night hosts weighed in. Jimmy Fallon said,
everybody was talking about how bad the security was at
the White House Correspondent's dinner. The good news is everyone
is safe, and I think now security has figured this out.
They said, for now on they're going to put Trump
in a lock the owner in case like CVS. All right,
fallin again. When the incident occurred on Saturday Night, Oz
the mentalist was performing for Trump, Trump looked at him like, yes,
I did have the six of diamonds, but why didn't
you predict this? But Trump wants the event to be
rescheduled within thirty days. An FBI director Cash Burttel said
he expects the security at the next dinner to be
entirely different, because by then he'll be fired. That's a
solid one. Now people often say, hey, John, how come
you know both sides things that I say, because anytime
I do a recap there's nothing from the other side.
Well today there is. Greg Guttfeld said good news Nancy
Pelosi was safe as she was wearing a a proof face.
Gut felt again. When reached for comment, Joe Biden said,
it's times like these that made me glad I'm already dead.
George Clooney weighed in on this. Now, it's unclear if
the reporters knew they were speaking to George Clooney or
if they thought they were talking to me, and we're like, okay,
he hosts daily comedy news. We should get a reaction
from him. Clooney and I are often confused for each other,
so it's unclear who the reporters thought they were talking to.
But it wasn't me. It was actually George Clooney, who said,
Jimmy's a comedian. And I would argue that Carolyn Levitt
didn't mean shots should be fired. You may have seen
earlier in the day, prior to all this happening, Carolyn
Levitt had encouraged everyone to tune in, using the phrase
shots will be fired. Clooney continued, saying she was making
a joke. Fair enough, you look at that side and go, well,
jokes are jokes, but the rhetoric is a little dangerous,
and we've seen it a lot lately. Triumph, the insult
comic Dog was at the White House Correspondent's dinner, which
sounds like something you'd make up. Nope, he was there
and he spoke to John Stewart about it. Were you
worried about, to be honest, getting killed, Yes, but mostly
because I didn't want the RFK Junior to eat my carcass.
Late Nighters said that multi reports say that the FCC
is taking steps towards launching an early review of ABC's
broadcast licenses. This may or may not have something to
do with the Kimme Old joke. CNN's Brian Stelter said
that the review could have come as early as yesterday afternoon.
I'll let you know what happened. Meanwhile, King Charles, he's
visiting the President of the United States, and if you
want coverage to that, check out the podcast Palace Intrigue.
I'm the writer on that. I was actually quoted in
USA today Pop on my LinkedIn. There's a link to that.
But anyway, King Charles was asked about Matt Friend's impression
Matt Friend not having a good week. Let me play
a clip of Matt Friend doing King Charles. This is
not the clip that King Charles was reacting to, but
here is Matt Friend doing Charles on Sky News. But
I'm trying to figure out other dialects. You know, the
King Charles is quite fun when I come here to
and I try different voices, and it's more based off
of the crowns interpretation. Now, honestly, that's not a bad
King Charles impression at all. However, Matt Friend attempted to
do King Charles two King Charles, and the King said
keep working on it. Ah, let's all wish Stavros Halkias well,
he went on Instagram and said, Hey, bad news. I
broke my arm. I fell off a scooter. I wish
I was telling you that I heroically stopped a burglar
from harming a woman and suffered harm as a result.
But no, I flat lay rode a bird scooter. The
wind took my hat almost and I reached up to
try and stop it, lost my balance and fell arm
first into the street, two hundred and eighty pounds of
me directly onto my arm, cracked it smooth in half.
It hurts like bleep. I'm pretty fed up, and I'm
going to be fed up for a little while. He
has had to postpone the taping of his comedy special.
He was going to tape one in Baltimore July eighteenth
and nineteenth. He said, there's just no way for me
to do the special any justice right now. I want
to do a good job for you guys. I don't
want to put out some fing half assed bs just
because I would lose money not doing it when I scheduled.
Social media was kind as always. One person wrote, someone
tracked down the CCTV footage of this, please it must exist.
Another fan wrote, we can rebuild him the six million
calorie man. One of the top comments read, did you
immediately pull your shirt back down? Tom Sagora said he
almost had Garth Brooks on his podcast You May Recall
Back in twenty eighteen, Tom Segora started joking about Garth
Brooks joining Facebook. Back in twenty eighteen, Sigora made the joke,
what he's thinking about is all the bodies he's got
stacked in graves in his yard. For sure, He's probably
killed two hundred three other people in his life. After
that episode aired, Garth Brooks's comment sections on social media
began getting flooded by fans of Tom Sagora asking Garth Brooks,
where are the bodies? Well, we're now learning that Segora
was contacted by Garth Brooks team to have Gorth appear
on Tom Sigora's podcast. Sigora told this story on Andrew
schultz Flagrant podcast. Sigora said, I tried to get Garth on.
At one point. They reached out and they said, Garth's
going to do some interviews. Would you like him to
be on the podcast? I said, of course. So they
were like, write something that we could show to one
of his people. Sigora said he took the request semi seriously,
writing back that he'd love to have him on to
talk about his career. Sigora thinks they weren't even sure
if Sigora was the ware of the Body's guy. Quoting
Sigora here, the agent told my guy instead of confirming,
didn't he say something crazy about Garth? I feel like
it could go wrong for him. I feel like that
guy had said something. Eventually they're like, he's not coming
on that show. Too bad. That would have been amazing.
So we're all in this for the money, including Johnny Mack.

interest you in some comedian trading cards? The folks at
the Laugh Factory have unveiled the first line of collectible
trading cards. That's right, the founder of the Laugh Factory,
Jamie Masada, said, from the very beginning, Laugh Factory has
always been about giving comedians a stage in a voice.
To now see comedy honored in this way with its
own collectible trading CARDDS is something truly special. Some of
the comedians featured on the cards? Do you want to guess?
Should I give you a minute, who do you think
is gonna be featured on the cards? Well? Wrong? Deane Cook? Okay,
Now we can draw a line and then go like
three quarters of the way down the page. The first
name is Deane Cook, and then Ornie Adams, Tom Dressen,
Katherine Blandford, who I think is great, and moster Brownie,
who I've always enjoyed when I spent time with him.
But it's Deane Cook, Ornie Adams, Tom Dressen, Katherine Blandford
and Monster Brownie laugh Aactory President David Feher said, these
cards honor the voices, the risk takers and the artists
who make people laugh for a living. We're proud to
help them at the legacy of comedy in a completely
new way, and that completely new way is with an
Ornie Adams trading card. Trevor Noah is heading back to
South Africa for South Africa's Festival of Comedy. Trevor Noah
has been named captain of a national comedy team. Did
you guys listen to the comedy draft last week? What
happened to her? Trevor Noah said. The goal to grow
the South African comedy scene and bring people back to
live stand up. Trevor said, we want to create something
that gives comedians a bigger platform and reminds people how
powerful live comedy can be. The festival isn't being pitched
as a typical lineup of shows. Instead, it's being framed
like a sports rollout, with Eugene Koza as vice captain
and the Tosh Madlin Gozi as coach, all working together
to spotlight both established acts and newer voices. Trevor NOAs said,
comedy has always been a reflection of who we are.
This is about celebrating that voice on a larger scale.
Major live shows are expected in September in cities like
Pretoria and Cape Town. Seth Myers and John Oliver have
extended their residency at New York City's Beacon Theater. They
already had shows May thirty first and June fourteenth, They
will now also do September twenty seventh, October twenty fifth,
November twenty second, and December thirteenth. Each show features a
forty five to fifty minute stand up set from both comics.
Then a Q and A and Angela Johnson will have
a new special, Ugly Baby, will be on YouTube Mother's
Day Sunday, May tenth at noon Pacific time. At the
heart of the special, as Angela's journey into motherhood in
her forties, she opens up about personal struggles with fertility, pregnancy,
and postpartum life. There is a trailer. However, whoever mixed
the trailer mixed it too loud and it's going to
sound like crap on the podcast, so I'm not gonna
play it. Angela said, I'm grateful that I've been able
to do this seven times. My boobs may be falling lower,
but at least my career continues to reach new heights,
all thanks to my loyal fans. Blah blah blah. And
that is your comedy news for today. I will see
you tomorrow.
