Speaker 1: Callaroga shark media boy, ye will not stop raining where
Speaker 1: I live, He'll know. I'm Johnny mac Crafton's Eide once
Speaker 1: again with your daily comedy news The Tennessee and I
Speaker 1: checked out one of the Nateland shows at Zenie's in Nashville.
Speaker 1: They do that on Monday nights. It's say lineup curated
Speaker 1: by Nate Brigetzi. Nicole likes attending the shows. She said
Speaker 1: there's always a chance Nate will show up, which is
Speaker 1: a pretty good possibility. If he's there on a Monday night,
Speaker 1: you get to see a short set from him, essentially
Speaker 1: for free, which is huge. Nate showed up on April
Speaker 1: twenty eighth and did twenty minutes. Nate told The Tennessee,
Speaker 1: and I want the next generation to have a chance
Speaker 1: to come up behind me. I always believed in myself.
Speaker 1: I always believed I was going to get to a
Speaker 1: high level. But I remember going to TV show producers
Speaker 1: and wanted to pitch shows and you get told no.
Speaker 1: I felt frustration. Why didn't you pick me? Before people
Speaker 1: had to do sitcoms to do arenas, I've gone this
Speaker 1: other way. Now you can just become a stand up comedian.
Speaker 1: I want that to be the path for the next
Speaker 1: group that comes up. Comics coming up and don't know
Speaker 1: what they can do, and I can help show them.
Speaker 1: Aaron Weber is one of the hosts of the Nateland podcasts.
Speaker 1: He said, Nate put me on his podcast before I
Speaker 1: really had any right to be there. He produced and
Speaker 1: funded my debut comedy special, and as busy as he
Speaker 1: is these days, he's always available for advice whenever I
Speaker 1: need it. Greg Warren, who's been in comedy for thirty years,
Speaker 1: said his career took off with Nate's help. Warren said, honestly,
Speaker 1: I remember thinking I may be finally getting better at this.
Speaker 1: I might be too old for anyone to care. Nate
Speaker 1: produced two of Warren's specials, help Warren launch his own
Speaker 1: podcast as part of the network, and tap Warren to
Speaker 1: be an opening act on the road. Warren said, I
Speaker 1: toured Europe with Nate. Yeah, his daughter took advantage of
Speaker 1: my fear of heights and terrorized me at the top
Speaker 1: of the Eiffel Tower. But I'm still grateful of everything
Speaker 1: he's done for me. I'm enjoying my career more than
Speaker 1: I ever have, and Nate is a huge part of that.
Speaker 1: Steve Carell gave the commencement speech at Northwestern University's graduation
Speaker 1: over the weekend, and then middle of it, Steve said
Speaker 1: it is time to follow me. In the mid commencement address.
Speaker 1: At dance break, Carrel danced for a bit behind the podium,
Speaker 1: then jogged off stage to high five and celebrate with graduates.
Speaker 1: He came back to the mic and said that was
Speaker 1: as invigorating as it was disturbing. He had to catch
Speaker 1: his breath and said, wow, I'm out of shape. Got
Speaker 1: more serious and said, remember the little things like being
Speaker 1: kind and that you're not alone. Take care of one another,
Speaker 1: remember to laugh when you have the opportunity, and to
Speaker 1: cry when necessary. Turn new jealousy's admiration and use it
Speaker 1: to fuel your ambition in a positive way. Comedian Dave
Speaker 1: Smith making the news. Smith is a frequent guest on
Speaker 1: Rogan and as a podcaster to himself. He had endorsed
Speaker 1: Donald Trump in twenty twenty four, and now in statements
Speaker 1: that are making the mainstream media, Dave Smith said of
Speaker 1: the President he should be impeached and removed. He called
Speaker 1: his previous endorsement of Trump a bad calculation. Smith added
Speaker 1: all of his supporters should turn on him. It's the
Speaker 1: absolute betrayal of everything he ran a campaign on and
Speaker 1: everything that he stood for. These comments are in response
Speaker 1: to Trump's handling of Israel. Aron send your letters to
Speaker 1: Dave Smith. Paton Oswalt will tape his new special, Black
Speaker 1: Coffee and Ice Water at the Audible Feeder July eleventh
Speaker 1: and twelfth. They're going to do three show. It'll be
Speaker 1: recorded live and later released as an Audible original, which
Speaker 1: is kind of interesting. It's not one of the usual
Speaker 1: suspects there, and I don't believe Audible does videos, So
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens anyway, We're told. In Black Coffee
Speaker 1: and Ice Water, Patton Oswald wrestles with religion, wolves, parenting
Speaker 1: a teenager, and musical theater. The press release says Paton
Speaker 1: mostly loses just for laughs. Montreal announced the outdoor shows.
Speaker 1: They include Puddle's Pity Party, in which the seven foot
Speaker 1: Sad Clown, whose golden voice is comparable to rock legends
Speaker 1: like Tom Jones and Freddie Mercury, will appear. Adam Ray
Speaker 1: is Doctor Phil Live. That is a free outdoor show
Speaker 1: that's a lot of fun. Bonjour High, which is It's
Speaker 1: really funny because that's usually how I'll walk into Starbucks
Speaker 1: and go bonjeour high, and then they hear I can't
Speaker 1: speak French at all, they switch, which is pretty good,
Speaker 1: very good title there. It's a bilingual performance blending French
Speaker 1: and English humor that sounds like a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: Not outdoor shows. Re starby the Legend Returns. Tickets on
Speaker 1: sale now. Also for christ Stefano in a Varieties. Ten

Speaker 1: about all the ones that were on the list that
Speaker 1: we forgot about? You know that too, but it's usually
Speaker 1: a pretty good list. Friend of the show, Mark Malkoff
Speaker 1: as a book coming out called Love Jenny Carson. Mark
Speaker 1: sent out an email that tells us the biography overwhelmingly
Speaker 1: contains new details about Johnny and a show never discussed
Speaker 1: on the Carson podcast. Mark currently hosts the podcast Inside
Speaker 1: Late Night, which is a good pod for you to
Speaker 1: check out anyway. Love Jenny Carson sets the record straight
Speaker 1: on Johnny's legacy and shines light on the many sides
Speaker 1: of his personality, incorporating interviews with over foreigner people in
Speaker 1: his sphere, including Carson's staff, crew, guests, guest hosts, and friends,
Speaker 1: revealing never before told behind the scenes stories are the
Speaker 1: funniest and most beloved Carson moments of all time. The
Speaker 1: book is out October twenty first. The book also promises
Speaker 1: never before detailed reasons why Johnny stopped talking to Joan Rivers,
Speaker 1: why he banned guests like William Shatner and Orson Wells,
Speaker 1: the true origins of Cornack the Magnificent, which was not
Speaker 1: stolen from Steve Allen repoort Johnny played in getting Nixon
Speaker 1: elected president, the beloved comedian who the Carson writers dreaded,
Speaker 1: guest hosting interesting, I wonder that is, and many other
Speaker 1: behind the scenes stories should be a lot of fun.
Speaker 1: That one Chang Wang spoke to the Pitch Case C
Speaker 1: and he was talking about how he did not grow
Speaker 1: up watching late night TV, and Chang says, maybe I
Speaker 1: have more of a blank slate to a certain extent,
Speaker 1: I think I'm just a naturally observant, patient and sensitive person.
Speaker 1: That's really helpful in this line of work. Some comedians
Speaker 1: that say from a very young age wanted to do comedy.
Speaker 1: People who start too young maybe haven't had a chance
Speaker 1: to developing themselves that they grow into a chricature of
Speaker 1: what they think a comedian is. I started hitting open
Speaker 1: mics in my early twenties. I think the best commuteans
Speaker 1: have a good sense of who they are and the
Speaker 1: unique person they are, and can lean on that and
Speaker 1: be brave enough to explore that. Pitch k C said
Speaker 1: they feel like people have been into comedians with specific
Speaker 1: voices and name checked to Connor O'Malley and Joe Para. Chang.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like that's been the case, he said, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think so. There's so many more channels now, like literally,
Speaker 1: with cable, streaming and social there's so many more ways
Speaker 1: to find an audience who can like what you do.
Speaker 1: It allows people to be themselves weirder. I feel like
Speaker 1: they have to follow mainstream forms of expression of comedy.
Speaker 1: It used to be to make it big, you had
Speaker 1: to do a five minute set on Johnny Carson and
Speaker 1: then Mark Malkoff would write about you in his book
Speaker 1: and you get hundreds of millions of people seeing in
Speaker 1: one night. Now you can be big if you have
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand followers on Instagram or TikTok. It's easier
Speaker 1: to find people who appreciate what you do. Jimmy O
Speaker 1: Yang spoke with the South China Morning Post. He was
Speaker 1: surprised how quickly his Hong Kong shows sold out. Jimmy said,
Speaker 1: I really tried everything to get my tickets to my fans.
Speaker 1: Comedy is supposed to be for the people, and if
Speaker 1: it's up to me, I do fifty shows if there's
Speaker 1: availability and my schedule allows. Whenever I post something of
Speaker 1: me speaking Cantonese, I get a lot of love. But man,
Speaker 1: this is next level fanfare. And how fast the tickets sold,
Speaker 1: I feel like blackpink right now. It's crazy. Just makes
Speaker 1: me want to come back to Hong Kong more. There's
Speaker 1: so many people that really support me. It's very touching.
Speaker 1: And that is your comedy news for today. And what's
Speaker 1: been a relatively slow news week. We need like a
Speaker 1: good comedian fight or something. It's been a little slow anyway.
Speaker 1: If you enjoy the program and tell a friend about it,
Speaker 1: they might like it too. And if you'd like the
Speaker 1: program without commercial interruption or feed drops, go to calibrouga
Speaker 1: dot com, slash plus, or if you're an Apple podcast,

Speaker 1: All that stuff goes away. See you tomorrow.
