Speaker 1: Caloroga Shark Media.
Speaker 2: Oh man, I am so happy because the comedians are
Speaker 2: hooking it up and fighting with each other. It's wonderful. Hello.
Speaker 2: I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. I've got
Speaker 2: two days of comedian fights. We'll save the mega comedian
Speaker 2: aperghetti stuff for tomorrow. Today we'll dive in on the
Speaker 2: office Wars. But first, let me tell you about Trevor Noah.
Speaker 2: He had some thoughts about the World's Cup and the
Speaker 2: President of the United States. Now in the video that
Speaker 2: I'm sharing the audio of, if you hear clapping sounds,
Speaker 2: that's because Trevor Nooa keeps clapping his hands, and it
Speaker 2: is worth noting that he was wearing a Team USA
Speaker 2: jersey during this clip. Here's Trevor Noah. Americans were very
Speaker 2: quick and proud to say FIFA is a corrupt organization,
Speaker 2: the corrupt fifas corrupt. I'm glad FIFA's coming to America
Speaker 2: because finally they're going to be held accountable.
Speaker 3: Until they needed some of that corruption for themselves, until
Speaker 3: Americans needed.
Speaker 2: Some of that corruption for himself. Yes, then now they're like, yeah, man,
Speaker 2: Bulligan needs to play belligan.
Speaker 3: I'm Glad Bullagan's because that was a bull brinker. Yeah,
Speaker 3: until you need this happens. Welcome to the World.
Speaker 2: Com But what do you mean, this happens all the time, yo.
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter who you are.
Speaker 3: Welcome to the World Cup.
Speaker 2: I don't care who you are.
Speaker 3: I don't care what country.
Speaker 2: You When this tournaments, thought that I had my conspiracy theories.
Speaker 2: My man, they were people who are anti Trump, and
Speaker 2: then when this thing was happened, now for the first time,
Speaker 2: they're like, nah, but Trump did the right thing. Hey,
Speaker 2: this is government interference. Guys, send your letters to Trevor No.
Speaker 2: I've noticed his World Cup live streams are getting around
Speaker 2: two hundred and fifty thousand views, not a bad number
Speaker 2: at all. Over the weekend, it was July fourth, Dave
Speaker 2: Chappelle was on CNN with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen.
Speaker 2: In the clip, Chappelle appears to be in front of
Speaker 2: a crowd, perhaps at a comedy show. But here's Dave
Speaker 2: Chappelle and it's for pacing and language. Hey, Dave, you're
Speaker 2: such an You are so emblematic to the idea of
Speaker 2: the power of freeze.
Speaker 3: Tell me tonight as we look at the two hundred
Speaker 3: and fiftieth anniversary of this country.
Speaker 2: Why you are proud to be an American?
Speaker 3: And how do you view our country today?
Speaker 1: For that's a loaded question. Now, I see why Trump
Speaker 1: gets mad at y'all all the time. Why would you
Speaker 1: ask me that? All right? No, I got an answer
Speaker 1: for that. I don't agree with everything that our government does.
Speaker 1: But the one thing that I really consistently believe in
Speaker 1: that I love about being an American is my Countryman.
Speaker 1: If I'm overseas or around the world, anytime I see
Speaker 1: an American over there, we just give each other the
Speaker 1: fight club look, because we live in a madness that
Speaker 1: only we really understand what it's all about. And I
Speaker 1: have faith in my countrymen, no matter how crazy. All
Speaker 1: of this will make it feel that the sun will
Speaker 1: rise and that I feel like I'm part of a
Speaker 1: very incredible community. So God bless my countryman, and let
Speaker 1: us megas country absolutely great.
Speaker 2: Now, the big story today, the big fight is the Office,
Speaker 2: the UK Office. Guys, they're all fighting with each other.
Speaker 2: It had been fifteen years since Mackenzie Crook and Martin
Speaker 2: Freeman had seen each other, but it is the twenty
Speaker 2: fifth anniversary of the Office or you may know it
Speaker 2: as The Office UK and they have done a special
Speaker 2: for BBC. They share their memories of working and laughing
Speaker 2: alongside Ricky Gervais Will Get to Him, co writer Stephen Merchant,
Speaker 2: and the other leading Office colleague Lucy Davis, who played
Speaker 2: Don who is the analog to Pam for You Americans.
Speaker 2: Among the anecdotes, they tell us of how Martin Freeman
Speaker 2: initially auditioned to play Gareth Now, Mackenzie embraced one of
Speaker 2: TV's worst ever haircuts, how Ricky came close to ruining
Speaker 2: filming on a daily basis, and what it was like
Speaker 2: to be at the heart of Office medium when the
Speaker 2: show was at its peak. You will find Mackenzie Crook
Speaker 2: and Martin Freeman Remember The Office on BBC two an
Speaker 2: I player today at ten pm. I assume that's UK time.
Speaker 2: They're five hours ahead of us. You do the math.
Speaker 2: Ricky Gervas and Stephen Merchant do not appear in the
Speaker 2: one off show. Why not, well, because Ricky Gervase is
Speaker 2: marking the twenty fifth anniversary of the Office with a
Speaker 2: rundown of his favorite David Brent moments. Ricky is presenting
Speaker 2: each of the twenty five moments on his YouTube channel
Speaker 2: and said, there will be never before told stories here.
Speaker 2: Let me let Ricky tell it to you. I have
Speaker 2: chop this up for piecing.
Speaker 3: I've made a special show to commemorate twenty five year
Speaker 3: anniversary of the Office, just me chatting about my memories
Speaker 3: of the show, my favorite myths, and a whole lot more.
Speaker 3: David Brent begging for his job back was the first
Speaker 3: bit of serious acting I've ever done. I was a
Speaker 3: little flat bloke playing him. Let's be honest, rick you
Speaker 3: won't wear im Patvin waya no watch it. It's free,
Speaker 3: so yeah, you do the math.
Speaker 2: His YouTube channel will feature plenty of David Brent and
Speaker 2: will also have other archive materials from his other shows,
Speaker 2: including Afterlife and his stand up shows, alongside content made
Speaker 2: specifically for the channel. Ricky's YouTube channel already has Sunday
Speaker 2: evening live streams where Ricky takes audience questions. Topics have
Speaker 2: ranged from ai in comedy and creative inspiration to veganism.
Speaker 2: Ricky Tervay said, I'm absolutely loving building my YouTube channel.
Speaker 2: It's the best way to interact with my wonderful fans
Speaker 2: without leaving the house and actually bumping into any of
Speaker 2: those weirdos. So if you think this thing where he's
Speaker 2: not on the BBC was about scheduling, I think differently.
Speaker 2: Martin Freeman said his recollection of Making the Office is
Speaker 2: different than that of Ricky and Stephen Merchant. Jervas and
Speaker 2: Merchant have long said The Office was entirely scripted. Martin Freeman,
Speaker 2: who played Tim, says it was looser than they suggest.
Speaker 2: Freeman said he was left frustrated when a book of
Speaker 2: the shows scripts was released filled with transcriptions of the
Speaker 2: lines that made it into the final episode, including his
Speaker 2: own improv as part of the BBC two special Remember
Speaker 2: of the Office. Kirk Freeman, another thing people always ask
Speaker 2: you is how much was improvised? Very little bit, because
Speaker 2: it was all there on the page. Freeman responded, It
Speaker 2: was all there on the page. However, I think my
Speaker 2: true feeling about it is what it became the monster
Speaker 2: that it did because it sounded improvised. Understandably, Ricky and
Speaker 2: Stephen went, no, none of it is improvised. What slightly
Speaker 2: annoyed me at the time, but only slightly at the time,
Speaker 2: is that when scripts were published, they weren't the scripts,
Speaker 2: They were the transcriptions of what had been on Telly.
Speaker 2: So that annoyed me a little bit because anyone who
Speaker 2: knows any of us knows the line came from you.
Speaker 2: In that moment, the line came from me. It was loose.
Speaker 2: That's to Ricky and Steven's credit, because the scripts were
Speaker 2: absolutely brilliant. It wasn't improvised, but was what I would
Speaker 2: call loose. Freeman argued, he can understand why there's a
Speaker 2: little bit of protection about that, because otherwise people would
Speaker 2: have gone, hey, you just rock up and make it
Speaker 2: all up, which is clearly not the case. The writing
Speaker 2: on it was brilliant. You only need to know us
Speaker 2: a little bit or no the process of it to
Speaker 2: know we're also in there. It doesn't mean it's a
Speaker 2: co credit, it doesn't mean it's improvised. It's nicely loose.
Speaker 2: So what does that mean Either you read the words
Speaker 2: or you didn't. A statue of David Brant, that is
Speaker 2: Ricky's character on The Office UK, in case you're not
Speaker 2: familiar with that particular program, has been unveiled at the
Speaker 2: Premiere Inn in Slough. Yes. The clay sculpture of David
Speaker 2: Brent was commissioned by Premiere in It is displayed at
Speaker 2: the Slough Trading Estate Hotel. The Premiere inn sits on
Speaker 2: the side of the old building used in the series
Speaker 2: opening credits. Oh that makes sense. The new installation was
Speaker 2: revealed by David Brent impersonator Tim Oliver, who recreated the
Speaker 2: stance alongside some of the character's distinctive dance routines. The
Speaker 2: bust took one hundred and twenty hours to put together
Speaker 2: and weighs seven kilograms. It will be permanently installed off
Speaker 2: the site. A spokesperson for the hotel chain told The
Speaker 2: Daily Star, We're thrilled to unveil this brilliant tribute to
Speaker 2: markets place in British comedy history. Ricky's iconic character truly
Speaker 2: puts Slough on the map, and it's only fitting to
Speaker 2: honor him with this memorable statue, which we hope will
Speaker 2: be particularly popular with some of the millions of business
Speaker 2: travelers who stay with us each year. Whilst the building
Speaker 2: itself is totally transformed, our guests are more likely to
Speaker 2: be interested in pillows than photocopiers. Eagle eyed fans will
Speaker 2: certainly spot the similarity in the footprint of the site.
Speaker 2: The spokesperson for the Premiere in added from tech to
Speaker 2: business attire. Office life has changed drastically in the twenty
Speaker 2: five years since the show aired, but what hasn't changed
Speaker 2: is the need for business travelers to know what they're
Speaker 2: getting with a great night's sleep and a comfortable room,
Speaker 2: ready to face the day, no matter how embarrassing their
Speaker 2: boss is. You know, I'm gonna make a decision on
Speaker 2: the fly. Here I got two more office stories. Rain
Speaker 2: Wilson called out Ricky Travay's let's save that for tomorrow,
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna tell you a story about Kevin from
Speaker 2: the office tomorrow because we got to deal with Taylor
Speaker 2: Swift stuff. And by the way, this is way more
Speaker 2: news than I thought we were gonna have coming out
Speaker 2: of July fourth. This is all wonderful. Thank you comedians.
Speaker 2: George Stephanopoulos said Adam Sandler was funny and touching. And
Speaker 2: not only did Adam Sandler officiate the wedding of Taylor Swift, really,
Speaker 2: he also performed an original song that was humorous and
Speaker 2: touching and was all about their love. Oh can you
Speaker 2: imagine Sandler's been out and about. He was spoted but
Speaker 2: at Sawyer's on the Pier, a place that serves homemade
Speaker 2: ice cream. That's right. There was a Facebook group from
Speaker 2: Sawyer's Daily Bar. They shared that Adam Sandler stopped in
Speaker 2: at Sawyer's on the Pier on July fourth for some
Speaker 2: ice cream. That was just a day after officiating Taylor
Speaker 2: Swift's wedding. The social media post highlighted a series of selfies,
Speaker 2: all taken by Sandler, and interestingly, this article calls Saandlor
Speaker 2: the star of Uncut Gems. People are coming around to
Speaker 2: the way I think and recognizing him as a dramatic
Speaker 2: actor and of course a wedding officiator and not at
Speaker 2: all a comedian because he's not good at comedy. But
Speaker 2: he's a good actor and apparently a solid person to
Speaker 2: have officiate your wedding. If you ever wanted to have him,
Speaker 2: I'm sure he'll do it. The Uncut Gem Star and
Speaker 2: a bunch of staff members from Sawyer's to selfies. We
Speaker 2: are told it looks like they were having a fun time.
Speaker 2: What a great article. Then on Sunday, which is July fifth,
Speaker 2: he was seen in Nantucket playing basketball at Bacchus Lane.
Speaker 2: According to the Nantucket Current, Adam Sandler called the police
Speaker 2: department's non emergency line to ask where he could play basketball.
Speaker 2: Personnel directed him to Backus Lane Court, which is part
Speaker 2: of Nantucket Intermediate School. Imagine Nantucket police, How may I
Speaker 2: help you? Hi, this is Adam Sandler. Oh, yes, mister Sandler,
Speaker 2: how can I help you? Yeah? Do you guys have
Speaker 2: a basketball court? Dude? Use the internet. Why are you
Speaker 2: bothering the police with this, even if it's the non
Speaker 2: emergency line. Are you serious about this? Or is this
Speaker 2: a way that you have a more colorful story in
Speaker 2: the press. Is it that Johnny Mack? Of course it's
Speaker 2: that guy's where told Andrew Kessler and his friends normally
Speaker 2: don't play outdoor basketball, but they coincidentally showed up at
Speaker 2: the park. Kessler told ESPN. We see a car pull
Speaker 2: into the parking lot and there's a guy wearing an
Speaker 2: interesting outfit. Initially they joked that it was Adam Sandler.
Speaker 2: Once the person got closer, they realized it was indeed
Speaker 2: Adam Sandler. Kessler said, Adam Sandlor has elite passing. He
Speaker 2: didn't miss a pass. They were all dimes. His layup
Speaker 2: game was good. I didn't really see him shoot the ball. Really,
Speaker 2: he is a good playmaker. You can tell that he's
Speaker 2: played a lot in his life. Meanwhile, Amy Schumer, who
Speaker 2: likes when we talk about her, wants you to know
Speaker 2: she was not invited to the wedding of Taylor Swift.
Speaker 2: Neither was I Amy. Amy Schumer trolled the happy couple
Speaker 2: with several Instagram posts, including a spoof outfit for Thursday
Speaker 2: night's rehearsal dinner. Schumer joked on Friday morning rehearsal dinner
Speaker 2: was sick. Who knows what she has planned for us?
Speaker 2: Then there was a second post which also featured Life
Speaker 2: and Beth co star Michael Sarah. That one was captioned Okay,
Speaker 2: so why weren't we allowed in? Apparently Amy has been
Speaker 2: taking shots at Taylor for some time. Back in twenty sixteen,
Speaker 2: Amy Schumer took a shot at Taylor Swift's Grammy outfit,
Speaker 2: sharing a photo of herself and writing Taylor, that's not
Speaker 2: a thigh gap. This is a thigh gap. That got
Speaker 2: some backlash from the Swifties. Schumer responded, I'm a comic
Speaker 2: and should never make fun of myself at the expense
Speaker 2: of anyone else that it wasn't making fun of in
Speaker 2: the first place. How about everybody takes a deep breath
Speaker 2: Schumer's rep had to step in and tell people Amy
Speaker 2: loves Taylor was making a joke because she does and
Speaker 2: have a thigh gap again. I am so excited to
Speaker 2: have this much feisty content. Week of July fourth, no
Speaker 2: filler at all. When I was looking up to Trevor
Speaker 2: Noah Numbers, I checked in on Ben Gleb. You know
Speaker 2: he's got that late night show on YouTube of sorts.
Speaker 2: Good Night with Ben Glebe Episode six had thirty five
Speaker 2: thousand views at eleven nineteen. On Tuesday, they did split
Speaker 2: out his monologue from episode six that had three hundred
Speaker 2: and eighty eight views, John, did you say three hundred
Speaker 2: and eighty eight? I did meanwhile, competing YouTube late night
Speaker 2: show Outside Tonight, and that one is kind of more official.
Speaker 2: An episode that had posted four days ago has eighty
Speaker 2: seven hundred views. That's not going to cut it. An
Speaker 2: isolated clip of Caleb here on Outside Tonight's, and Caleb
Speaker 2: has a lot of Internet followers. That clip has four
Speaker 2: hundred and seventeen views. Did you say four hundred and seventeen, John,
Speaker 2: I did four hundred and seventeen. And a clip they
Speaker 2: pulled out from the show titled we found the Gayest Dog.
Speaker 2: How many views does that have? John Found the Gayest
Speaker 2: Dog has fifty nine views? Did you say fifty nine?
Speaker 2: I did remember like a year ago, Madonna supposedly did
Speaker 2: some stand up comedy. Well, not supposedly she did. Will
Speaker 2: Arnett was speaking with Romesh Oranga Nathan and told Hermesh
Speaker 2: how Madonna did forty minutes of stand up. He said,
Speaker 2: we had a night where Madonna went up. Amy Schuber
Speaker 2: brought her. She said Madonna's gonna come. The audience went crazy.
Speaker 2: I think she did about forty minutes. She had a
Speaker 2: binder and she was reading from it. But I got
Speaker 2: to say, it takes a lot of guts, because you know,
Speaker 2: Madonna's shy. An audience member said she did well enough,
Speaker 2: but the audience was so stunned it was Madonna that
Speaker 2: it took the entire set to warm up to her.
Speaker 2: She didn't do as well as she thinks she would.
Speaker 2: She got laught every time she dropped deaf bombs, because
Speaker 2: just hearing Madonna curse is funny. She elsa nailed a
Speaker 2: joke about how with all these Trump deportations, she's not
Speaker 2: gonna have any staff left, which got some laughs. But really,
Speaker 2: everyone was just so shocked that she was there. And
Speaker 2: that is your comedy news for today. You can follow
Speaker 2: the show on Spotify, turn notifications on so you never
Speaker 2: miss an episode, and please join us in the Facebook group.
