Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hey there, Jenny Mack with your daily
Speaker 1: comedy news. I was very excited that Jimmy Carr decided
Speaker 1: to put out a podcast. All of a sudden, there
Speaker 1: it is The Big Pitch with Jimmy Carr. On that show,
Speaker 1: Jimmy invites a celebrity guest to pitch an idea for
Speaker 1: a film based on one of the super niche subgenres
Speaker 1: on Netflix, from steamy crime movies from the seventies to
Speaker 1: Australian dysfunctional family comedy starring a strong female lead. Guests
Speaker 1: pitch the plot, their dreamcast, the marketing stunts, and everything
Speaker 1: in between, and it's up to Jimmy Carr whether it
Speaker 1: gets made. This is in partnership with actual Netflix. From
Speaker 1: the press release, where does Nick Muhammad's mind go when
Speaker 1: asked to make In Everybody's Home for the Holidays film?
Speaker 1: What's the narrative arc for Ramesh Wagon, Athans BRB Crying
Speaker 1: Tear Jerker? What on earth would Michelle Wolf's Coming of
Speaker 1: age Animal Tale look like? Find out On The Big Pitch.
Speaker 1: Phil Wang is the guest on episode one, so I'm
Speaker 1: doubly in. I love Phil and I'm a big Jimmy
Speaker 1: Carr fan Car said, by night I'm a stand up comedian,
Speaker 1: but by day I have a proper job in real
Speaker 1: show business. I commissioned movies for Netflix, so if you've
Speaker 1: ever seen a movie liked on Netflix, you're welcome. This
Speaker 1: podcast gives a glimpse behind the scenes of the rigorous
Speaker 1: pitching process and also a good excuse to mess around
Speaker 1: with some very funny friends. Jimmy might be the British
Speaker 1: Kevin Hart. Jimmy Carr also not afraid to work. This
Speaker 1: guy's always got stuff going on. One of my favorites,
Speaker 1: maybe actually my favorite comedian right now. Ten episodes every
Speaker 1: other Wednesday, but the first one is already out. Jimmy
Speaker 1: was also recently a guest on Joe Rogan. As I
Speaker 1: speak the sentence, I haven't had a chance to listen
Speaker 1: to it yet, but it is queued up for one
Speaker 1: of my dogwalks. Let's stay across the pond for a second,
Speaker 1: as they say, this one not funny at all. A
Speaker 1: comedian who joked about the Liverpool parade crash had a
Speaker 1: show canceled following a social media backlash. This from the
Speaker 1: BBC in case you missed it at least six twenty
Speaker 1: five people were injured. On Monday, a car crashed into
Speaker 1: the crowd which had gathered for Liverpool's Premier League victory parade.
Speaker 1: Comedian Andrew Lawrence on social media boasted he would drive
Speaker 1: through crowds of people to get out of the city.
Speaker 1: People did not react to that well. His comedy gig
Speaker 1: was canceled. Lawrence said he was disappointed the venue had
Speaker 1: lost their courage after being bombarded with abuse and threats
Speaker 1: of violence from online trolls. A spokesperson for the club
Speaker 1: said we send everyone impacted by the tragic events in
Speaker 1: Liverpool our support and prayers. Lawrence described the cancelation of
Speaker 1: his gig as understandable but disappointing. I will reschedule for
Speaker 1: later in the year at a different venue in South End.
Speaker 1: Sorry for the inconvenience, Have a great day. The BBC
Speaker 1: reminds us that in twenty twenty one, one of Lawrence's
Speaker 1: stand up gigs in Hampshire was canceled after racist comments
Speaker 1: he made about England's black footballers. Mark Marin is part
Speaker 1: of a documentary coming out in August called Anxiety Club.
Speaker 1: Anxiety Club behind the scenes, content and commentary from fellow
Speaker 1: comedians about how mental health impacts their daily lives and
Speaker 1: the trailer, and Maren says, most of what reacted to
Speaker 1: with something your brain is making up. My anxiety stopped
Speaker 1: me from having children. Also appearing Tiffany Jenkins, Baron Vaughan
Speaker 1: upon an Atula, Mark normand Eve, A, Victor and Joe List.
Speaker 1: The opening scene of Anxiety Club shows Mark Normand doing
Speaker 1: a rooftop gig. He says, I love a roof gig.
Speaker 1: This goes horribly, I could just jump right off. Joe
Speaker 1: List is then seen in a comedy club making jokes
Speaker 1: about how many times his thoughts about his parents dying
Speaker 1: or him being diagnosed with cancer across his mind every day.
Speaker 1: The press release says all of the comedians in Anxiety
Speaker 1: Club have created stand up or sketch material about their
Speaker 1: mental health that's not only funny, but uniquely relatable and
Speaker 1: disarming two audiences. Anxiety Club arrives on Jolt August fifteenth.
Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy will start in the pick Up. Pete Davidson
Speaker 1: also in the Pickup. It will be on Amazon Prime
Speaker 1: Video August sixth. In the Pickup, a routine cash pickup
Speaker 1: takes a wild turn when two mismatched armored trucks drivers
Speaker 1: Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson, are ambushed by ruthless criminals
Speaker 1: led by a savvy mastermind with plans that go way
Speaker 1: beyond the cash cargo. As chaos unfolds, the unlikely duo
Speaker 1: must navigate high risk danger, clashing personalities, one very bad
Speaker 1: day that keeps getting worse. Do You Not So Canceled?
Speaker 1: A z'son Sorry is part of the cast of Good Fortune,
Speaker 1: stars Keanu Reeves. This is a movie which will be
Speaker 1: in theater's October seventeenth. Good Fortune introduces Kano Reeves as Gabriel,
Speaker 1: a well meaning but rather an ept angel who decides
Speaker 1: to intervene in the lives of a struggling gig worker
Speaker 1: played by a zizin Sorry, and a wealthy venture capitalist
Speaker 1: Seth Rogan. Do You not so canceled? Azason? Sorry? Told
Speaker 1: Entertainment Weekly, I'm not buying this. This sounds like Hollywood stuff.
Speaker 1: When Reeve's name came up and casting, I'm sorry, wasn't
Speaker 1: so sure? Right? Yeah? No, I don't want to be
Speaker 1: in your movie. No, not at all. Told Entertainment Weekly
Speaker 1: that guy Reeves just seems like he's on a different planet,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Doesn't seem like would be
Speaker 1: able to interact when they finally met, I'm sorry, was
Speaker 1: awestruck to the point, and sorry was nervous not only
Speaker 1: about working alongside a Hollywood giant he grew up watching,
Speaker 1: but also directing him. I was like, hey, man, we
Speaker 1: got to hang out a few times, so I'm not
Speaker 1: freaked out about being around you, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So he was like, I get what you mean. So
Speaker 1: he hung out, and he came over to my house
Speaker 1: and I made him Indian food and we hung out
Speaker 1: for a while and he told me all these stories,
Speaker 1: and then we went to dinner a couple of times,
Speaker 1: and I tried to really spend time with him, to
Speaker 1: get to know him a little bit so I could
Speaker 1: become comfortable around him. Mm hmm. Good job, publicist, Good fortune,
Speaker 1: October seventeenth, in theaters. More from that Hollywood reporter around
Speaker 1: table with various comedians. My former coworker Jamie Fox said,
Speaker 1: I had a special deal for a long time, but
Speaker 1: I had nothing to talk about. What was I going
Speaker 1: to talk about? I was rich, I was behind my gates.
Speaker 1: I remember seeing Eddie Murphy at his house. This was
Speaker 1: around coming to America, and he says he's going to
Speaker 1: go and try and do stand up and I say
Speaker 1: to him, you can't. He says why, and I say,
Speaker 1: this ain't funny. Your house is too nice. Whatever that
Speaker 1: scent is. He had a scent, you know, the stuff
Speaker 1: that pumps through the house. And I said, what does
Speaker 1: that smell? And he said it's pomegranate. And I said,
Speaker 1: the fact that you know what that is tells me
Speaker 1: you ain't funny. Bro It was too perfect, and that
Speaker 1: was me. I was living in that, so I didn't
Speaker 1: have anything to talk about. Then this stroke happened, and
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, this is a platform, but I don't
Speaker 1: want to have another stroke, even though we have a
Speaker 1: deal for another hour. As it's the beginning of a
Speaker 1: new month, let me thank the supporters of the show.
Speaker 1: They've gone to buy me a Coffee dot Com and
Speaker 1: thrown some money in the tip jars. Much appreciated, deb
Speaker 1: and Tom Andrea, Gary Shannon, Mike Kenny, appreciate you all.
Speaker 1: And that is one way to support the show, going
Speaker 1: to buy me a Coffee dot com slash Daily Comedy News.
Speaker 1: Another way, take that same five bucks become a premium
Speaker 1: subscriber to this show, and you'll get this one and
Speaker 1: a bunch of others on the network, including five Good
Speaker 1: News Stories, which I host three days a week. You
Speaker 1: get the shows commercial free and no feed drops. If
Speaker 1: you're on Apple Podcast, click the banner that says uninterrupted listening.
Speaker 1: If you are on another platform, go to calibrog dot com,
Speaker 1: slash plus, or check the link in the show notes.
Speaker 1: But supporters, thank you very very much, appreciate it. The
Speaker 1: Atlantic had written a piece about Colin shows, saying the
Speaker 1: Weekend Update host and knows exist exactly what he's doing.
Speaker 1: Good take by The Atlantic, They say, when Joe's first
Speaker 1: took the job as a weekend Upday co host in
Speaker 1: twenty fourteen, he came across as a cocky prep school kid,
Speaker 1: doomed to discover that the rest of the world does
Speaker 1: not share the high opinion he has of himself. Some
Speaker 1: armchair critics and social media users sigh that, of course,
Speaker 1: Lorne Michaels had given the show's most prestigious job to
Speaker 1: another bland white guy. But eventually Joe seemed to find
Speaker 1: that he could win the public's goodwill by acknowledging its
Speaker 1: disdain leading into his unlikability gave Jose a distinctive comedic energy,
Speaker 1: and funnily enough, made him a lot more likable. Jose
Speaker 1: found his groove by appearing to accept that many people
Speaker 1: were eager to tell a guy like him off. He
Speaker 1: didn't exactly shed his entitled persona, but he settled into
Speaker 1: a role as sort of a pressure release valve, a
Speaker 1: way for others to process their cultural anxieties. For example,
Speaker 1: Sarah Sherman is his greatest tormentor. Sherman demonstrated a talent
Speaker 1: for nimbly turning every innocuous thing Joe said against him,
Speaker 1: at one point insisting that he kissed Michael Chay and
Speaker 1: accused him of being a homophobe for refusing, and when
Speaker 1: he finally agrees, accusing him of now mocking the queer
Speaker 1: community by pretending to be gay. Hers depict him as
Speaker 1: representative fairly or not, of an antiquated mindset the Sherman's
Speaker 1: open minded peers are perpetually butting up against. But she
Speaker 1: also paints Jose as someone who can't win because he's
Speaker 1: unable to keep up with the speed of her humor,
Speaker 1: and the more she piles it on, the funnier. The
Speaker 1: exchange becomes and in this one just just I'm leaving
Speaker 1: all that in. You could see it fried my brain.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of this. Tiffany Hattish
Speaker 1: and the CEO of Fanatics, the sports Apparel Guy, they
Speaker 1: were on CBS this morning's and for some reason, Tiffany
Speaker 1: Hattish is involved with Fanatics veest. The Fanatics guy said
Speaker 1: they had seventy thousand fans show up at last year's
Speaker 1: Fanatics Fest, So what could they do to make it
Speaker 1: next level? Well eight sports them to challenges. First place
Speaker 1: wins a million dollars, second place a five hundred thousand
Speaker 1: dollars Ferrari. Don't forget you have to pay Texas in
Speaker 1: that Ferrari, and third place gets a two hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty grand lebron James Rookie trading Card. Confirmed participants include
Speaker 1: Tom Brady, Kevin Durant, Kevin Hart, Rob Gronkowski, and quarterback
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson. Now why Tiffany Hattish was part of this,
Speaker 1: I don't know. Is she hosting this? The article didn't
Speaker 1: tell me, But Tiffany said, I'm very athletic. I was
Speaker 1: all city in high school, shot put, I run fast,
Speaker 1: jump high, and throw hard. So anyway, Fanatics Fest is
Speaker 1: coming up, and I guess Tiffany Hattish is going to
Speaker 1: be there, but I'm not sure. And that is your
Speaker 1: comedy news for today. If you enjoy the program, please
Speaker 1: tell a friend about it. They might like it too.
Speaker 1: We already talked about how to get a commercial free,
Speaker 1: so I'll just stop talking and I'll see tomorrow
