Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hey, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily
Speaker 1: comedy news. Thanks to Nichelle for sending this my way.
Speaker 1: Or you know Camp Patterson, the guy from Saturday Night
Speaker 1: Live that I think is one and done. Oh, he's
Speaker 1: gonna be one and done several media reports. I'm cripping
Speaker 1: here from Deadline. On the recent kill Tony Once Upon
Speaker 1: a Time in Texas, which you'll find on Netflix, Cam
Speaker 1: Patterson talked about Saturday Night Live. Now, I understand he's
Speaker 1: a comedian and he's on stage doing time. However, I
Speaker 1: don't know if this was the smartest career move. I
Speaker 1: will clean this up a little, Camp Patterson said, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna be honest. I'm gonna keep it one hundred percent
Speaker 1: with y'all in the nicest way possible. It's gay. It's
Speaker 1: really gay. Dog, it's gay. As f understand something. I
Speaker 1: was on national television doing this. He then reenacted an
Speaker 1: animated hand gesture. Cam said, I've shot at somebody before.
Speaker 1: You understand me. You understand how great said that change
Speaker 1: in life is. You know what's crazy. I think people
Speaker 1: are more excited for me than I am for myself.
Speaker 1: Though people keep saying congratulations, good job, and that's dope.
Speaker 1: But understand something, bro, I'm twenty six and I'm black.
Speaker 1: I've never seen the show. I have no idea what
Speaker 1: the f I signed up for. Dog. I'm just kind
Speaker 1: of there and listen, this stuff is not for me.
Speaker 1: It's for white people. Really. They have on celebrities I've
Speaker 1: never heard of in my life. We had on Glenn
Speaker 1: Palett one point. I was like, who's that and they
Speaker 1: were like, he's in Top Gun. I was like, never
Speaker 1: seen it. And then we had on Miles Teller and
Speaker 1: I was like, who's that and they were like, he
Speaker 1: was in Top Gun. I was like, I'm on to you, fellas.
Speaker 1: So we'll see how well that goes out. With Lorde Michaels.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not the worst thing anybody ever said.
Speaker 1: But you know, career wise, if you have to pick
Speaker 1: between Lorne Michaels, even at eighty years old, Lorne Michaels
Speaker 1: and Tony Hinchcliff, depending on what you want to do
Speaker 1: with your life, you probably pick Lauren there. John Oliver
Speaker 1: was the guest on Trevor Noah's podcast. The discussion went
Speaker 1: to Who's going to buy Warner Brothers? John told Trevor,
Speaker 1: I think mergers are generally bad. I think you're always
Speaker 1: hoping for the least bad option. I think the key
Speaker 1: thing for us is to act with enough aggression or confidence.
Speaker 1: I will act assuming nothing's going to happen. We're not
Speaker 1: going to change, right. We've been behaving the way we've
Speaker 1: been beaving for long enough that you can't really reason
Speaker 1: with us, so there's no point doing that. Oliver continued,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be question marks in all of this, right,
Speaker 1: because it's very hard to justify this legally. Now, whether
Speaker 1: that makes it impossible for it to happen, that's an
Speaker 1: open question. I thought this was really interesting. This isn't
Speaker 1: really news because this is from two thousand and eight,
Speaker 1: and the man who said it is long dead, but
Speaker 1: vice resurfaced this back in two thousand and eight. George
Speaker 1: Carlin said whenever someone would tell him about the latest
Speaker 1: must see comedian, George would get a little nervous, but
Speaker 1: then check them out. He had one of two reactions.
Speaker 1: One reaction was no threat there, but the other was
Speaker 1: I got to get back to work. And one of
Speaker 1: that I got to get back to work. Comedians to
Speaker 1: George Carlin was Sam Kennison. George Carlin said, Sam Kennison,
Speaker 1: because he raised his voice literally to such an extent,
Speaker 1: it taught me something at the time, and it had
Speaker 1: helped fuel a slight change or a significant change in
Speaker 1: what I was doing. I said, oh, you have to
Speaker 1: raise your voice, and I meant it figuratively. He did
Speaker 1: it literally, but figuratively. The culture was getting noisy. There
Speaker 1: was a din there was a lot of competition for
Speaker 1: people's attention, and somehow that translated to me as I
Speaker 1: have to raise the stakes a little bit.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: I talked to Kelly Carlin about this couple years back.
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll pull that and tag it at the end
Speaker 1: of today's episode Gardon and Gunn, which is just a
Speaker 1: wonderfully fascinating title for a website. They profiled Nate Bergatzy's Company.
Speaker 1: Nate told them, as a comedian, you're afraid to take
Speaker 1: time off, at least for me, I very much believe
Speaker 1: I'm not owed this. The audience doesn't know it to
Speaker 1: me to come, so it's something I've got to go
Speaker 1: earn every single show. Every day. It gets exhausting. Some
Speaker 1: days you can sleep on the bus and some days
Speaker 1: you're riding in the middle of nowhere. And you know,
Speaker 1: my bus driver's an amazing driver. But the roads of
Speaker 1: the roads, right, Nate said of the audience, I see
Speaker 1: the audience and it's all different. You see different religions
Speaker 1: out there, you see different political like, whatever it is,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I want families to laugh at me.
Speaker 1: I want them to feel safe when they go there
Speaker 1: and can all be together. You should be able to
Speaker 1: trust that I'm going to be that relief for whatever
Speaker 1: you need, Nate explanned. Nateland he wants to help younger
Speaker 1: comics get started. I want everybody to be involved on
Speaker 1: the road. It's like, we should all be friends. You know.
Speaker 1: We joke we got a couple guys. They're younger, but
Speaker 1: they're really big into anime. They wanted to watch an
Speaker 1: anime and the rest of us were like, I'm not
Speaker 1: watching it. But one day I needed to watch anime
Speaker 1: with them, just because Lucy Sinsheimer is the talent book
Speaker 1: of for Zenies in Nashville. Lucy said most people at
Speaker 1: the highest level might be like, I don't want to
Speaker 1: bother with being around lower level comedians. When he's here,
Speaker 1: he's generous with his time and his kindness for open
Speaker 1: micers and up and coming comics. Recently, we were doing
Speaker 1: a clinic with a bunch of comics and he happened
Speaker 1: to be recording the podcast next door. He came and
Speaker 1: talked to everybody for twenty five minutes, just giving advice.
Speaker 1: Psychology Today caught up with Kathleen Madigan. They were curious.
Speaker 1: Kathleen once told a story to Jerry Seinfeld on Comedians
Speaker 1: and Cars where Kathleen's parents said, we're gonna watch this
Speaker 1: part of your show and then we're gonna leave. Kathleen explained, Yeah,
Speaker 1: my dad asked, could you just put your new jokes
Speaker 1: at the beginning of your act? And she said, no, Dad,
Speaker 1: that's not how it works. I can't rearrange my whole
Speaker 1: act for you hooligans. I don't care if you've ever
Speaker 1: seen my act, you know. I'll do it in the
Speaker 1: car fee on the way home. And then he says
Speaker 1: to my mom, well you want to go, and my
Speaker 1: mom says, well, kind of, but not really. We'll just
Speaker 1: come at the end. Pete Corielli the Gator describes himself
Speaker 1: as a beer and peanut guy. He's returning to Long
Speaker 1: Island on January thirtieth for a show The Gator says,
Speaker 1: I'm not a fan of comedians to perform at you.
Speaker 1: I like being a version of myself on stage. I
Speaker 1: never wanted to be stuck in a character. I just
Speaker 1: tried to be true to who I am. I always
Speaker 1: felt most funny when I was hanging out. That's a
Speaker 1: trade I got from my father growing up in Long Island.
Speaker 1: He's an everyday guy who made people laugh with the stories.
Speaker 1: I always latched onto that. I worked with Pete for
Speaker 1: the better part of a decade when he was the
Speaker 1: number two chair on the Jim Brewer radio show back
Speaker 1: in the serious days. Corioli talked about getting into comedy
Speaker 1: at Hamburger harry Is in Midtown Manhattan in ninety four.
Speaker 1: After exploring acting, Pete joined an improv group. I did
Speaker 1: not know that. I cannot imagine Pete Coriolly having the
Speaker 1: patience for an improv group. Wow, I can't even fathom that.
Speaker 1: Pete explained, I went to an open mic that Jim
Speaker 1: Gaffigan and Judah Friedlander we're at. I was listening to
Speaker 1: them talk about their bits, and it was love at
Speaker 1: first sight. From there, I never looked back. Pete says,
Speaker 1: I truly feel now there's a comic of anything worth
Speaker 1: listening to until at least forty five. Once you get older,
Speaker 1: you have a lifetime experience to look back on. Pete
Speaker 1: is the co host of Pete and Sebastian of Sebastian Madiscalco.
Speaker 1: He says, we have incredible similarities and drastic differences. Once
Speaker 1: we get on the cast, we just make sure we
Speaker 1: make each other laugh because we have the same sense
Speaker 1: of humor. But we're like Felix Hunger and Oscar Madison
Speaker 1: from The Odd Couple. I drive a Jeep Wrangler and
Speaker 1: he drives a Portie. He gets manicures, and I don't.
Speaker 1: I wonder if that's a new Jeep Wrangler, because Pete
Speaker 1: had a Jeep twenty years ago. Remember they stole his top.
Speaker 1: One day, Jimmy Carr said that being a vegan is
Speaker 1: the right thing to do. Jimmy was feeling questions from
Speaker 1: the audience. One asked, Hey, Jimmy, you're a progressive and
Speaker 1: thoughtful guy. How come you've knock one vegan yet. Car said,
Speaker 1: I was vegan forbit, and I know it's the right
Speaker 1: thing to do, but also it's just a fun fact
Speaker 1: that you might want to know that it's possible to
Speaker 1: have a vegan diet, to eat vegan, and to shut
Speaker 1: the f up. That's hilarious. He tagged it with I'm
Speaker 1: not going to make jokes about vegans. It would be tasteless.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Carr is very funny. If you're ever in Riodd
Speaker 1: sometimes he plays the comedy Festival over there. He should
Speaker 1: go see him. Now that fascism is over and we
Speaker 1: can actually watch Scrubs on Hulu and ABC without having
Speaker 1: to go upstairs and get the DVDs, Scrubs is coming
Speaker 1: back a little over a month away. Now. People are curious, Hey,
Speaker 1: in all these promos, we haven't seen Doctor Kelso or
Speaker 1: the Janitor. Now, I'll point out to everybody that Ken Jenkins,
Speaker 1: who plays Doctor Kelso, is like eighty five years old,
Speaker 1: so aside from getting him to do the work, it
Speaker 1: really doesn't make sense that Doctor Kelso would be around. So,
Speaker 1: if you're curious what happens to these two characters, spoilers
Speaker 1: coming up at a second, Zach Braff says there are currently
Speaker 1: no plans for either to appear during season ten. Zach says,
Speaker 1: the true answer is if we're blessed to have a
Speaker 1: second season. Absolutely. The real answer for season one is
Speaker 1: we're not really sure yet. Episodes eight and nine of
Speaker 1: the nine episode order are still being written. They're both
Speaker 1: interested in doing it. Do we have the band with
Speaker 1: in the first nine episodes to get to it all
Speaker 1: and surface the story that would be worthy of Ken
Speaker 1: and Neil? That might come true? At this point, I
Speaker 1: can't tell you the answer, but most definitely, if we're
Speaker 1: lucky enough to get a season two, that's something we
Speaker 1: want to do. Jimmy Kimmel made an offer to Donald
Speaker 1: Trump he will give one of his awards to President
Speaker 1: Trump if the President pulls Ice out of Minneapolis. May
Speaker 1: have seen late last week that the woman who won
Speaker 1: the Nobel Peace Prize handed over the award to President
Speaker 1: Trump for some reason. As others have pointed out, if
Speaker 1: Lebron James hands me over an MVP trophy, it doesn't
Speaker 1: make me the best player in the NBA, Kimmell said
Speaker 1: Trump loves awards. Giving him an award is the only
Speaker 1: way to get him to do anything. And with that said,
Speaker 1: mister President, I have an offer I think you're gonna
Speaker 1: find difficult to refuse. If you and only if you
Speaker 1: agree to pull ice out of Minneapolis and put them
Speaker 1: back at the borders where they belong. Kimmel then showed
Speaker 1: some of his own trophies, including a Daytime Emmy, a
Speaker 1: Cleo Award, a Writer's Guild of America Award. He tagged
Speaker 1: it with, or best of all, I'm willing to hand
Speaker 1: over my twenty fifteen Soule Train Award for White Person
Speaker 1: of the Year. The choice is yours. I personally deliver
Speaker 1: any or even all of these to the Oval Office
Speaker 1: in exchange for leaving the people of Minneapolis alone. We'll
Speaker 1: go into the break here. Jonathan Kite does this wonderful,
Speaker 1: wonderful Anthony Bourdain impression. I can't get enough of this week.
Speaker 1: Anthony Boardaine went to the BUCkies, and here's a little
Speaker 1: taste of that.
Speaker 2: No pun pickles produce pastries, sauces, snacks. If you didn't
Speaker 2: gas up outside, you will in here. Behold the Jerky wall,
Speaker 2: a carnivorous curtain of beef, the only wall in Texas
Speaker 2: everyone can agree on.
Speaker 1: At noon Eastern today, the reveal for who was eliminated
Speaker 1: for Week two of Comedy Survivor. There's a dramatic exit
Speaker 1: in this week's show at noon Eastern. You can start
Speaker 1: voting for next week in the Facebook group which is
Speaker 1: Daily Comedy News Podcast Group, and in this very feed
Speaker 1: you will hear the week two elimination show Comedy Survivor
Speaker 1: Facebook group t O Sketch Fest, the Toronto Sketch They're
Speaker 1: coming back. It's their largest lineup to date, over seventy
Speaker 1: high energy showcases by more than seventy five comedy troops.
Speaker 1: I was texting the other day with Mike from The
Speaker 1: Letterman podcast. Now I live in the United States and
Speaker 1: Mike lives in Canada, and we were talking about getting
Speaker 1: together and I'm like, I don't know, man, if we
Speaker 1: invade Greenland, the border might be closed. I might not
Speaker 1: be able to hang out with Mike or go to
Speaker 1: the Toronto Sketch Fest. So some of the sketch troops,
Speaker 1: there's a lot here. I'm not going to read them all,
Speaker 1: but let's see some names that seem funny too. Draculus
Speaker 1: twenty four double B Sketch Troop names are always funny.
Speaker 1: Bicycle jousting, big chick Energy, I like that, breen Frogs, Firecracker, department,
Speaker 1: grease trap, no vowels. That's funny out of a whit.
Speaker 1: It's funny, but it's funny. Sketchy Broads, that's a good one.
Speaker 1: That's a good name. And the Red Hot Silly Peppers
Speaker 1: Love It. Toronto Sketch Fest coming up in March. Tick Natara,
Speaker 1: she's one of these people ruining Star Trek, but I
Speaker 1: guess not. Everything Tignataro does is horrible. She's joining Mattel
Speaker 1: Lane to headline the Lambda Legals Stand Up for Equality Benefit,
Speaker 1: an event dedicated to protecting the rights of LGBTQ people
Speaker 1: and everyone living with HIV. This is March fourth at
Speaker 1: the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills. Stand Up for Qualities
Speaker 1: Designed is a moment of cultural unity, blending stand up performances,
Speaker 1: musical moments, and celebrity presenters into a shared space for
Speaker 1: laughter and advocacy. There are no plans for Dave Chappelle
Speaker 1: to appear at this time. Chris Red he wants to.
Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on with Chris Redd. He's
Speaker 1: sparing his soul lately, but he wants to make sure
Speaker 1: that when he had a fight back in twenty twenty two,
Speaker 1: it was not with Keenan Thompson. Okay, what's the story.
Speaker 1: Johnny Mack TMZ published a clip from Chris Red that
Speaker 1: said that Keenan Thompson was not the person who punched
Speaker 1: Chris Red in the face outside of a Manhattan comedy
Speaker 1: club in twenty twenty two. Chris Redd said, no, Keenan
Speaker 1: did not hit me. People took it like Keenan hit me.
Speaker 1: He didn't hit me. No, a probe is still ongoing.
Speaker 1: No one has been taken into custody and connection with
Speaker 1: the attack on the comedian. According to the NYPD. Okay, listen,
Speaker 1: a probe is not still ongoing. No one is looking
Speaker 1: at this. This is New York City. You think anybody
Speaker 1: at the NYPD is investigating the Chris Red punch in
Speaker 1: the face from four years ago. There's zero percent chance
Speaker 1: that that's happening. I don't know if you've ever been
Speaker 1: to New York City. I'm from New York City. Zero
Speaker 1: percent chance the NYPD is busy. Back in twenty twenty two,
Speaker 1: Keenan Thompson and wife Evangeline got divorced. Benjeline then was
Speaker 1: friendly with Chris Red. But Keenan definitely didn't punch him
Speaker 1: in the nose. And let me get the LIFs out
Speaker 1: of my voice because I'm serious here. I'm not doing
Speaker 1: the bit. This from the Daily Mail. Jay Leno last
Speaker 1: week in La appeared to have a swollen left cheek
Speaker 1: and a bruised fingernail while out and about in La.
Speaker 1: Daily Mail reported Jay was out grabbing lunch. On the
Speaker 1: left side of his face appeared puffy, his middle finger
Speaker 1: seemed to have some redness to it, and a black
Speaker 1: nail was visible as he clutched a beverage. Now some
Speaker 1: people start joking that, you know, the mob is out
Speaker 1: to get Jay again. Remember he fell down the hill
Speaker 1: and burned his face with the motorcycle. And I had
Speaker 1: a couple like weird things going on. But much more seriously,
Speaker 1: I saw some people and I'm not saying this happened,
Speaker 1: but some people who are involved with Alzheimer's said that
Speaker 1: sometimes people who suffer from Alzheimer's can get physical, and
Speaker 1: that was one theory of what might have happened. Again, no,
Speaker 1: little to my voice, not making joke here and being
Speaker 1: very serious, I'm not saying that happened. I have no
Speaker 1: expertise in Alzheimer's, but I'm just sharing an alternate theory
Speaker 1: that I heard other than the mob is out to
Speaker 1: get Jay Leno. Don't know what happened, just telling you
Speaker 1: what the Daily News reported, and that is your comedy
Speaker 1: news for today again coming up at newon Eastern today
Speaker 1: and this very feed Comedy Survivor Week two elimination show.
Speaker 1: And then assuming I found it, the next thing you're
Speaker 1: gonna hear is me talking to Kelly Carlin a few
Speaker 1: years back. See you tomorrow, Oh no, see at noon,
Speaker 1: then see you tomorrow. I was one of those yahoos
Speaker 1: at the turn of the century who listened to the
Speaker 1: I guess the last two albums is like George sounds
Speaker 1: angry and I have done a complete one eighty on that,
Speaker 1: and he is the great prof of the twenty first century.
Speaker 1: That stuff has aged so well. I go back and
Speaker 1: listen to it. Just prepping for today. I was going
Speaker 1: back and listening to It's the last bit on It's
Speaker 1: Bad for You. It's Coast to Coast emergency, and it
Speaker 1: sounds like you recorded it this morning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no one wanted to hear it, including me. John
Speaker 3: was like, God, Dad, get over it. Can you do
Speaker 3: some bart jokes or something? Please be goofy again, as
Speaker 3: he said, you scratch a cynic. Underneath it you get
Speaker 3: a broken hearted idealist. Yeah. He was a man who
Speaker 3: I think was just ringing the bell so loudly and
Speaker 3: saw what was coming, saw the writing on the wall,
Speaker 3: and nobody wants to hear that. While the writings, while
Speaker 3: the walls still look fine. Ah so everything seems fine,
Speaker 3: but boy boy, did he see it all coming, even
Speaker 3: stuff thirty years old. He saw it coming.
Speaker 1: It's just it's amazing.
