Speaker 1: Callaroga Shark Media. Hey am Johnny Mack with your daily comedy,
Speaker 1: and he was if though we had to start with
Speaker 1: some fun today from Nicky Swift dot Com. It's celebrities
Speaker 1: who can't stand jay Leno. That's right, jay Leno. That
Speaker 1: guy's the worst. He sometimes comments about late night television
Speaker 1: and takes care of his wife. He's just awful. So
Speaker 1: let's take a look at the celebrities who do not
Speaker 1: like jay Leno. We're told Arsenio Hall threatened to kick
Speaker 1: jay Leno's butt. Arsenio Hall back in nineteen ninety two
Speaker 1: told Entertainment Weekly that Arseniol Hall had little respect for
Speaker 1: jay Leno's talents. Reports at the time claimed he was
Speaker 1: friends with jay Leno or Senio apparently said, I have
Speaker 1: no problem about saying good things about my competitors, but
Speaker 1: jay Leno and I aren't friends. And you know what,
Speaker 1: I wasn't annoyed it, Okay, No one put the late
Speaker 1: night silver spoon in my mouth. I earned every drop
Speaker 1: of mine, and I'm gonna treat him like we treated
Speaker 1: the kid on the high school basketball team. It was
Speaker 1: the coach's son. He was there because he was annointed too.
Speaker 1: We try to kick his button. That's what I'm gonna do,
Speaker 1: kick Jay's butt. How that work out ours anyhow? Haul
Speaker 1: then apparently was a Good Morning America, and I have said,
Speaker 1: something's wrong with someone who's always surprised about people being
Speaker 1: upset with him. Dennis Miller apparently hasn't talked to Jay Leno.
Speaker 1: Dennis Miller told Entertainmy and Weekly Jay and I were
Speaker 1: good friends at one point. I don't think I talked
Speaker 1: to him again, nor would he want to talk to
Speaker 1: me about the tonight show. Put it this way, they
Speaker 1: want to win really badly. He may recall, Dennis Miller
Speaker 1: had a late night show. The accusation seemed to be
Speaker 1: that NBC was trying to stop famous people from going
Speaker 1: on other shows. Jay Leno said, we weren't keeping people
Speaker 1: off their show. Do we say to guests, we'll give
Speaker 1: you this in that and we have a bigger audience,
Speaker 1: we'll fly you in, we'll pick you up in a limo. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but please, that's the game. Jimmy Kimmel on the list,
Speaker 1: telling the New York Times, I think he turned comedy
Speaker 1: in a factory work, and it comes across just amazing
Speaker 1: how insecure he is the people who like Leno are
Speaker 1: largely a stupid group. The people who root for Letterman
Speaker 1: of the smarter group. The people who like me also stupid.
Speaker 1: I figure I cut into the dummies. Lopez. Remember Lopez
Speaker 1: had a late night show, Lopez Tonight. Now. I want
Speaker 1: to see George Lopez in concert in Chicago around that time,
Speaker 1: and George was actually like an a hole. Like we
Speaker 1: were sitting in the audience going, dude, you just sound
Speaker 1: like a more and he was flaming everybody. I think
Speaker 1: he flamed Carson. I remember walking out of the show
Speaker 1: and it kind of changed my opinion on George Lopez.
Speaker 1: Did not enjoy it at all. In two thousand and seven,
Speaker 1: George Lopez apparently was on WMX radio and told Scott
Speaker 1: and Erica that he hoped to start a beef with
Speaker 1: Jay Leno, saying, Leno is the biggest two faced dude
Speaker 1: in TV. When I had my kidney transplant in two
Speaker 1: thousand and five, he called me and was the nice
Speaker 1: guy on the phone, and then he just puts the
Speaker 1: knife in your back. It tells you something about Jay Leno.
Speaker 1: If Conan O'Brien is coming to the Tonight show. When
Speaker 1: Jay Leno is still young enough to be the host.
Speaker 1: The dudes like the worst interview we're on TV. Patton
Speaker 1: Oswalt on Comedy Death Ray apparently said you almost want
Speaker 1: to take Leno aside and go, why do you want
Speaker 1: this so badly that this being the tonight show? Because
Speaker 1: you don't do anything with it? Listen, Patton Oswald, Dude, bro,
Speaker 1: Patton Oswald, you ruined Star Trek and I've been meeting
Speaker 1: all week to get to this time out. Johnny Max
Speaker 1: got a beef with Patton Oswald, who ruined Star Trek
Speaker 1: is dug the Vulcan. Patton, did you not put out
Speaker 1: a really famous bit called at midnight, I will kill
Speaker 1: George Lucas with a shovel? And is that not complaining
Speaker 1: about the Star Wars prequels? So you're going to kill
Speaker 1: George Lucas with a shovel for ruining a sci fi
Speaker 1: franchise that you love. So you, Dug the Vulcan can
Speaker 1: understand how I am outraged at you. Tig Nataro, Genius Sheer,
Speaker 1: Stephen Colbert and any other comedian who is currently ruining
Speaker 1: Star Trek. I digress. Let's go back to j leto
Speaker 1: Patton said, Comedians that don't like j leto now, and
Speaker 1: I'm one of them. We're not like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: Jay Leno sucks. It's that we were hurt and so
Speaker 1: disappointed that one of the best comedians of our generation
Speaker 1: wilfully like threw that switch off. Howard Stern back in
Speaker 1: the day, the old Howard Stern told Peters Morgan, Jasonsane,
Speaker 1: and Jason Crook, he steals a tremendous amount of material.
Speaker 1: Why don't we all pause the podcast right now and
Speaker 1: google fart Man. And I don't mean the Howard Stern version,
Speaker 1: I mean the National Lampoon version. And then we'll unpause
Speaker 1: and we'll come back and listen to what Howard Stern
Speaker 1: was saying, which includes, he steals a tremendous amount of material.
Speaker 1: Fart Man, he's not fit to scrow but David Letterman's feet.
Speaker 1: Conan O'Brien told The Hollywood Reporter in twenty twelve Jay
Speaker 1: Leno hadn't built any bridges. Conan said, he certainly isn't
Speaker 1: calling me. It's not like he's going to sneak up
Speaker 1: on me and traffic the odds that will both leave
Speaker 1: this earth without speaking to each other it's fine. There's
Speaker 1: really nothing to say. We both know the deal. He knows,
Speaker 1: I know. I'd rather just forget Rosie O'Donnell said, I've
Speaker 1: been a big fan of ConA O'Brien and The Tonight
Speaker 1: Show's a franchise that has been sixty years with NBC.
Speaker 1: And if you're privileged enough to be asked to drive
Speaker 1: the bus, you should say thank you and drive it
Speaker 1: to the best of your ability, and when it's time
Speaker 1: for them to hire a new driver, you should say
Speaker 1: thank you for allowing me to drive this for as
Speaker 1: long as I did, and pass the keys to the
Speaker 1: new guy with the red hair, not try to flatten
Speaker 1: his tires before he even gets going. In twenty fourteen,
Speaker 1: Jimmy Fallon rescinded the ban on Joan Rivers from The
Speaker 1: Tonight Show. Joan Rivers returned to The Tonight Show and
Speaker 1: fl up to Jay Leno the Bird. She told Inside Edition,
Speaker 1: the curse is gone to Jay. Well, Jay, twenty three years,
Speaker 1: I'm still here and you're gonna be selling cars. And
Speaker 1: then there's the joke from David Letterman, who had a
Speaker 1: joke about a Law and Order spin off which would
Speaker 1: have been called Leno Victims Unit, which would follow two
Speaker 1: kinds of hosts, Jay Leno and those who have been
Speaker 1: victimized by Jay Leno. I had so many things I
Speaker 1: was going to do today. I didn't expect the jay
Speaker 1: little thing to take up half the show. Let's do
Speaker 1: this one. Keenan Thompson caught up with Men's Journal, and
Speaker 1: Keenan started talking about whiskey, and I thought to myself, now,
Speaker 1: if Jim Gaffigan did this, you would rip it to shreds,
Speaker 1: would you not? Johnny Mack, Yes, you would, so, Keenan,
Speaker 1: it's your turn. They were somehow tying all this whiskey
Speaker 1: drinking back to the NFL. Keenan Roots of the Falcons
Speaker 1: when eight and nine and Keenan Thompson told Men's Journal,
Speaker 1: if you've had a lemon of a season, turn those
Speaker 1: lemons into Jim Beam, turn it negative into a positive,
Speaker 1: and what do you know. Keenan Thompson teamed up with
Speaker 1: Jim Beam for an ad campaign promoting this simple yet
Speaker 1: tasty combination. Boy, if Gaffigan did this, Men's Journal asked
Speaker 1: him before this ad campaign, were you a huge lemon fan?
Speaker 1: Keenan Thompsons said, Weirdly enough, I do have an affinity
Speaker 1: towards lemons, like I even wear a citrusy kind of cologne.
Speaker 1: But you know, it wasn't anything that I was intending on,
Speaker 1: Like it's not necessarily my go to because I don't
Speaker 1: even mix anymore but on a nice little health cake
Speaker 1: these days. So I'm just kind of straight up for
Speaker 1: the low carbs or whatever. But I do remember lemonade
Speaker 1: always kind of going hand in hand with great things,
Speaker 1: Jim Beam being one of them. Jim Beam says, thank
Speaker 1: you for the mention there, So I was happy to
Speaker 1: spearhead this new movement for them. They asked Keenan Thompson,
Speaker 1: was there someone who introduced you to whiskey your family
Speaker 1: or perhaps Lord Michaels or I'll throw it, maybe it
Speaker 1: was Jim Gaffigan. Keenan said, no, I don't have a
Speaker 1: whiskey mentor. Are we supposed to have whiskey mentors? Like
Speaker 1: I've got a little here in the basement that sometimes
Speaker 1: on a hot day, I'll pour a little over ice
Speaker 1: with my son. I don't have a mentor, Keenan said,
Speaker 1: I've always been much more casual, but as I've gotten older,
Speaker 1: I like to get into the history of things and
Speaker 1: also the quality of things by doing a little research,
Speaker 1: like we have the Brandy Library here in New York.
Speaker 1: Having gone there and seen so many varieties of things,
Speaker 1: it's easy to kind of get immersed in it a
Speaker 1: little bit. So anytime I'm drinking whiskey, it's nice to
Speaker 1: know the good ones, well, Keenan, other than lemonade. And
Speaker 1: how do you drink your whiskey? Keenan said, I need
Speaker 1: a rock. I need something to sue it a little bit,
Speaker 1: you know, a nice big rock or even a few
Speaker 1: smaller ones. It doesn't really matter. Sometimes I do want
Speaker 1: several rocks to get a little water in there. Good
Speaker 1: follow up by Men's Journal. Whiskey drinkers tend to be
Speaker 1: very specific about ice. Are you picky? Keenan said, No,
Speaker 1: at home, it could be whatever. It's always nice to
Speaker 1: see when people have curated cubes, like any sort of
Speaker 1: Star Wars themed cubes, debt stars, anything like. That's always fun,
Speaker 1: is it? And you're talking to somebody who has about
Speaker 1: five Star Wars posters here in the basement, and I'm
Speaker 1: not kidding. We're just a traditional round ball or big
Speaker 1: square cube kind of thing. But at a restaurant. I
Speaker 1: expect some fanciness. Oh this is fun. Who's your all
Speaker 1: time favorite fictional bartender? Keenan said, who did it better
Speaker 1: than Tom? I've seen lots of movies and that was
Speaker 1: a lot of training for him. He really wanted to
Speaker 1: take it seriously. So between that and maybe Coyote Ugly,
Speaker 1: I guess, how do you not pick Isaac the bartender?
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, love boat anybody. The only thing
Speaker 1: that would make this better for me was if this
Speaker 1: was actually with Jim Gavigan. Keenan was asked what's the
Speaker 1: perfect snack food to have with bourbon while watching sports?
Speaker 1: Is it popcorn? Perhaps peanuts? Keenan said, I think we
Speaker 1: need to level up. We're in the connected world where
Speaker 1: you could experience so many different flavors. I think you've
Speaker 1: got to get into some charcoutery or something like that
Speaker 1: where you get up a bunch of different tastes on
Speaker 1: a plate, especially in the master Chef days we're living in.
Speaker 1: I like putting together display then feast on it. Keenan Thomson.
Speaker 1: Do you have a favorite all time guest host of
Speaker 1: SNL that you've enjoyed drinking with? Keenan said, Dave Chappelle
Speaker 1: is great because he enjoys the night as well. He
Speaker 1: doesn't get introverted or anything. It's kind of like he's
Speaker 1: just waking up after the show. He's a great one
Speaker 1: to have a moment with him to pick his brain.
Speaker 1: He's a praiser, so he'll always be giving you props
Speaker 1: while you're trying to give him props. If you could
Speaker 1: have a drink with anyone who's been in the cast
Speaker 1: of SNL, who would it be? Phil Harmon. I'd love
Speaker 1: to be able to really sit down just be around
Speaker 1: with him more than once. I'd love to have been
Speaker 1: able to build an alumni brotherhood with him. We met
Speaker 1: on a plane once and he was so generous. It
Speaker 1: almost seemed like a dream because it was happening in
Speaker 1: the sky. He was so nice and it was just
Speaker 1: kiss met that were put together on this flight. And
Speaker 1: I say we because it was me and kel Mitchell.
Speaker 1: He got up during the you can unbuckle your seat
Speaker 1: belts now and walk around the cap and time, and
Speaker 1: he just came over to us. We just had a
Speaker 1: conversation for a while. Was fantastic. Interesting tag here Keenan
Speaker 1: talked about SNL Ben Journal was like, it seems like
Speaker 1: a party all week long. Is it like that? And
Speaker 1: Keenan said, it's a lot more corporate these days. Everybody
Speaker 1: who just kind of comes in and focuses. We're all
Speaker 1: aware of our HR meetings and stuff like that. I
Speaker 1: think we keep it more so for after the show's done,
Speaker 1: kind of like decompression and that is your comedy news
Speaker 1: as it was for today fun show. I like to
Speaker 1: mix it up, especially on the weekends, all right back
Speaker 1: in the morning with a normal episode. I see it
Speaker 1: to worrow.
