Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media.
Speaker 2: In there. I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.
Now this first story, please understand, I come in peace.
I came to be supportive. I was curious. Remember the
future of late night is doing late night shows on YouTube.
I was like, all right, I wonder how the premiere
episode of Goodnight with Ben Gleib did. I'm recording this
sentence at one thirteen pm Eastern Time on Wednesday, June third.
The premiere episode of Goodnight with Ben Gleib, a YouTube
channel with two point nine one million subscribers at this
time as I record this sentence, has twenty one thousand views.
His guest was Kevin Smith. Separate from the twenty one
thousand views video posted five days ago, they have posted
a video titled Kevin Smith's Best Advice Believe in Yourself First.
That clip, posted fourteen hours or as before I spoke
this sentence, has three hundred and eight views. Maybe a
lot of people were watching the live stream and I
don't have access to that data. Again, I come in peace,
but that's not going to cut it. Your headline from
the Daily Beast, ready buckle up, everybody. Netflix doubles down
on bigotry with Mega Comedians special. That's right, the Streamers
promoting Tony Hinchcliff's late Ast special by celebrating his jokes
about Blacks, Latinos, the Whites, the Indians, and Asians. The
Daily Beast rights Tony Hinchcliff is back to his usual
stick quote unquote making fun of different ethnic groups with
plenty of help from Netflix. They remindus. The Donald Trump
fan went mainstream following his appearance on the streamers Roast
of Tom Brady in twenty twenty four, after which he
gained fame for a different kind when he told racially
insensitive jokes at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally later that year.
Netflix rewarded the appearance with a major deal, offering the
comedian four specials last March three for his show Killed Tony,
and one for an hour of his own stand up.
On Tuesday, the streamer released the teaser for that stand
of special, titled Man of the People. Should we listen?
We probably should listen.
Speaker 3: We've made fun of Blacks, Latinos, the Whites, the Indians, Asians.
Thank you.
Speaker 1: I'd imagine if I were sitting where you are right
now and I bought a ticket to a Tony Hinchcliff show.
I'd probably thinking of myself, Tony, where are those juw jokes? Well,
I'm averaging about four specials a year with Netflix right now,
and I'm not in the mood to make jew jokes anymore.
Speaker 2: Now. Right before the Netflix sounder, they are Tony winks
at the camera. So that's your trailer as a curiosity.
As a comparison, This trailer as I record this sentence
at one seventeen pm on Wednesday, was posted one day
ago and has twenty thousand views, just slightly less than
Ben Gleb's hour and a half a late night show.
And I support you, but that's not going to cut it.
Marcelo Hernandez, who does one thing really well, he is
going to host the SPS on July fifteenth. The twenty
twenty six SP's are returning to New York after more
than twenty five years, this year's event being held at
Lincoln Center. Marcelo Hernandez said, I started doing comedy ten
years ago in Cleveland, Ohio, and I would take the
train twelve hours to New York to sell comedy tickets
on the street in Greenwich Village in Exchange for stage time.
It's an honor and frankly feels crazy to be hosting
the SP's this year in New York. I agree, it
does feel crazy that Marcelo Hernandez is hosting the SPI's.
I agree with you, Marcelo. Marcello said, I'm sure the
energy is going to be great. It's been a slow
week for comedy, you can tell by Brooks making the
three spot on Today's podcast. He caught up with a
Little Village magazine. But part of this particularly interested me.
Brooks has been opening for Seth Myers and John Oliver
in their residency Anti Beacon Theater in New York City.
How's that going? Brooks said, they're the best. I looked
into the coolest gig, imaginable opening for two friends and
comedians that I really look up to. I also head
out on the road to open for each one of
them individually. So me and Seth have been road tripping
around America lately. When I was on SNL, he was
my boss, and now he's just super great friend. Turns
out he's a great boss to have it. It's ratt
just to be on the road with a pal. They
talked about the Chicago comedy scene back in the day.
There are other comics from Iowa back then, right kameil
and on. Johnny moved there after he went to Grenelle.
Brooks said, right after I got there, did an open
mic at a place called Kiddy Moon. Kmale went up
and I was like, what that scene was the best?
Kyle Kanaan had just left. Hannibal Burris was becoming the
funniest guy who's ever been alive. That's when I was
in the Chicago just doing the serious XM thing. But
there was a Chicago comedy festival and we used to
be out there relatively frequently, and that's when Hannibal was
owning the town. That's when I was out there, Brooks said.
There were so many guys who were perfect to look
up to you, Guys six years older than you. They
were doing late night sets, which was so much more
attainable than the full hour special. So when I saw them,
I thought, this is possible. Now. What caught my eye
they started talking about marathons. Humble Bragg. I've ran the
New York City Marathon twice, and I have ran three
days in a row. I'm trying to run every day
in June and so far. I ran on June one,
two and three. I talked to Brooks about marathons. He's
got an endorsement with A six shoes, but Brooks says,
I'm two and done with marathons. I ran wondering COVID
as a joke to prove that they weren't hard and
that people make too much out of them. Hey, I
ended up really hurting my knee because they are hard.
Oh that's better, Yeah, now you get it. A six
reached out to me about training appropriately running a marathon.
After twelve weeks of that and then writing about it,
I got really fast. It was awesome, and halfway through
the second marathon, I slammed a Mountain Dew to try
and parlay it into a Mountain Dew sponsorship by saying,
Mountain Dew's good for you. Look how fast I am,
and my body immediately stopped working right away. Everything just tightened, spasm.
I'd lay on the ground for like half an hour.
I ended up running that second marathon slower than the first.
Me too, but I put a decade between my two.
So they're curious, Brooks, why did you go with A
six sneakers instead of Brooks shoes, Brooks would have been
a natural fit. Brooks said, Hey, Asex reached out if
Brooks had called me first, Sure, I am wearing Brooks
sneakers right now. Those are the ones that I run
in these days, but I run the second one. I'm
actually wearing them my marathon sneakers right now. These are
my Rainbow Brooks shoes. They're worn out, so these are
now just my wear around the house of sneakers. Why
are they rainbow, John, because I like to make my
current training pair, like visually very different so that I
don't wear them as like everyday shoes. But John, he
just said, you're wearing them as every day shoes. Yes,
but I know the rainbow ones are worn out, so
every pair I get looks very different from the previous pair.
Michelle Obama said, Dave Chappelle is one of the smartest
people on the planet, the funniest all get out. Once
he became himself, he moved back to Ohio, bought a
fo and he's raised his family on this farm. One
of the questions was why here, and he said, I
wanted to have the financial freedom to be courageous. Mashable
asked Josh Johnson about his hoodies. He said the hoodie
started as a comfort thing, mostly vintage and thrifted fines
Hans are now giving him more customized ones, to inspired ones,
even cashmere versions. He jokes he's too scared to sweat
in the gray hoodie has become part of his persona.
He said. Even when people see me out in the street,
they're like, oh, you're really wear that. That's the good
and bad part of doing a thing. If you generally
like it, it just becomes how you look all the time.
Vittorio Angeloni told the CBC, John has said a slow
news day. No, Vittorio didn't say that. That's you asking
me that. Why why do you ask? Vittorio Angeloni told
the CBC. I don't want anyone to enjoy the entire show.
I have people come up to me after the show
and say, oh, I really like the show apart from
that one joke, and I think, yeah, you shouldn't like
all this. It should be the edges of your taste
and where you feel comfortable. I want to push the audience.
Ray Romano talked about naming his show Everybody Loves Raymond
Raids Old People. When the show was starting, I was
a comedian, and all I did was self deprecating humor.
My brother, who in real life is a New York
City policeman, came home one day and saw that I
got an award from some stand up comedy that I did,
and he said, sarcastically, Raymond goes to work and they
give him awards. I go to work and people spit
on me. Everybody loves Raymond. Ray didn't like the title,
even though the CBS execs did. Ray suggested some other titles,
including that Raymond Guy, Raymond's Tree awful, and his personal
favorite was called Um Raymond. Jeff fox Worthy, who dropped
a special on Fox Nation on Monday, said this may
be his final special. He says he's not done with
stand up, but creating a special it takes a lot
of effort. Jeff said, I'm not saying I would quit
doing stand up. It's just a lot of work to
do a special and I'd rather hang out with my grandkids.
When you commit to doing a special, it's a year.
It takes a year of going in comedy clubs Wednesday night's,
Tuesday nights, you know, trying new things. Is this funny?
Is it not funny? And nobody's ever showed that. That
is part of the special The Jokes on Me, where
he shows some behind the scenes looks at the repetitive
creative process of putting a special together. Did his first
stand up special in nineteen ninety with a you might
be a redneck joke, and for this one he figured,
let me dust it off. I thought, well, this might
be the last special idea because it's a lot of work.
And I'm like, if I close the first one that way,
why not sig a bowl around it and close the
last one that way. Boy, this Nate Brighetzi movie didn't do. Uh,
I don't think it did for Nate what he thought
was gonna do. Let's look at the box office. I
forgot to do that earlier in the week Nate Brigetzi
Breadwinner box office. All right, we are on boxoffice report
dot com. It is the weekend box office report for
May twenty nine through the thirty first. Oh my domestic
weekend studio estimates for May twenty nine two May thirty first.
Of course, I don't think Nate is a big international draw,
so we'll just look at the domestic number one back
rooms eighty one million, A number two Obsession twenty six
point four. The Mandalorian got another twenty five million in
fourth place, Michael with eleven million, and the Breadwinner seven
point five million dollars. With that kind of box off,
you're going to be the guest host for Ben Gleeb
on YouTube eight. Don't do the theme park? Are you
listening to me? Theme park? Big mistake? Comedy tour? Not mistake?
Theme park mistake? Nate, you gotta listen. In Indian comedian
revealed he was detained in Dubai for forty seven days
before being deported to India, and an Instagram post yoursh
Barjoaj said he had shared a quote harmless dumb reel.
Bardoise revealed the reel was about how Google Maps allegedly
malfunctioned in Dubai amid tensions link to the conflict in
the Middle East. He explains, on March nineteenth, while I
was at a gig in Dubai, I got a call
from Dubai Police asking me to report to the Dubai
Police HQ. Immediately turns out they had an issue with
a comedy reel I made about Google Maps malfunctioning in
Dubai and do the current war in the region. It
was a harmless, dumb reel, but the authorities didn't find
it funny. I was detained and arrested as a perceived
national security threat, and I spent forty seven days in
a ten center and in New York City, home of
the New York Knicks. The New York Laughs Festival is

Trek two The Wrath of Cohn, which, as you know,
