WEBVTT 1 00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:11.919 Callaroga Shark Media. Hi there, Johnny Mack with your daily 2 00:00:11.960 --> 00:00:13.960 comedy news. So I've been trying to get back in 3 00:00:13.960 --> 00:00:16.760 the habit on Fridays of recapping Late Night. Don't worry 4 00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:19.519 you didn't download the wrong episode. It's Saturday Calm Down. 5 00:00:20.039 --> 00:00:21.719 But I didn't do it yesterday because we had so 6 00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:24.839 much Gene Gillis to get through. I really like yesterday's episode. 7 00:00:24.879 --> 00:00:27.280 If you missed it, check that one out. So here 8 00:00:27.359 --> 00:00:29.960 are some of the better Late Night jokes from the week. 9 00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:33.240 One of the topics the Epstein Files. Jimmy Fallon said, 10 00:00:33.240 --> 00:00:35.320 Trump said, everybody move on. It's a minor issue. And 11 00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:39.079 people said, exactly, it's a minor issue. Fallon again. A 12 00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:41.920 thief in Massachusetts stole more than one hundred thousand dollars 13 00:00:41.960 --> 00:00:44.920 worth of rare Pokemon cards. Trust me, the last thing 14 00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:46.600 you want to tell your CELLMATEE is that you're in 15 00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:50.359 prison for jacking a squirrel. That's pretty edgy for Jimmy Fallon. 16 00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:52.479 But then I thought about it more and I could 17 00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:56.719 see Johnny Carson back in the day nailing that vaguely 18 00:00:56.920 --> 00:00:59.560 dirty punchline and mugging for the camera and getting a 19 00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:03.039 good life seth Meyers. A newdist group in Pittsburgh over 20 00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:05.719 the weekend held its annual Balls Out Bowling event where 21 00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.359 clothing is not allowed, much to the horror of Jimmy's 22 00:01:08.359 --> 00:01:11.840 eighth birthday party. I like that twist there at the end, 23 00:01:12.079 --> 00:01:13.879 more of a straight up tag by Seth. By the way, 24 00:01:13.879 --> 00:01:15.680 whose idea was this, We need an idea for the 25 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:18.079 next nudist event. How about a sport we bend over 26 00:01:18.120 --> 00:01:20.840 in front of everyone. Fallin. They're burning the mega hats. 27 00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:22.799 People in China were like, come on, we work so 28 00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:26.519 hard making them. That's very good. Is Jimmy Fallon quietly 29 00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:30.040 handing in great monologues because Colbert is not Oh, I 30 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:32.200 did the prep and I didn't pull any Colbert jokes. 31 00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:35.280 Fallin Again. The excuses are getting worse and worse. Today 32 00:01:35.400 --> 00:01:37.640 Trump was like a dog ate the Epstein files than 33 00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:41.319 people in Ohio ate the dog. That is fantastic, Seth Myers. 34 00:01:41.359 --> 00:01:43.680 The dating app Bumble has announced plans to lay off 35 00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:45.640 about thirty percent of its staff, and it's pretty cool 36 00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:49.000 how they're doing it. No, no, yes, no Fallon. A 37 00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:51.560 woman in California said her home is being flooded with 38 00:01:51.640 --> 00:01:55.079 hundreds of unwanted Amazon packages. By the way, an unwanted 39 00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:58.799 Amazon package is how Lauren Sanchez described her honeymoon. Also 40 00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.719 great Seth Myers. In honor of National hot Dog Day, 41 00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:04.680 the convenience store Circle K offered two roller grill hot 42 00:02:04.680 --> 00:02:06.680 dogs for a dollar because that's what they used to 43 00:02:06.680 --> 00:02:08.599 cost back when they were first placed on the roller, 44 00:02:09.879 --> 00:02:14.120 but Jordan Klepper for the win. Lauren Bobert had suggested 45 00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:17.000 that Trump appoint Matt Gates special counsel for the whole 46 00:02:17.039 --> 00:02:21.120 Epstein business. Jordan Klepper slammed it with you want Matt 47 00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:24.199 Gates to investigate underage sex trafficking. I guess it makes 48 00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:26.599 sense in a game recognized game way, I caunes see 49 00:02:26.599 --> 00:02:28.919 Matt Gates pulling up to R. Kelly's house saying I'm 50 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:34.879 putting together a team fantastic. Randomly, I saw a note 51 00:02:35.159 --> 00:02:39.080 that Jay Leno, according to NBC, hosted more than forty 52 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.280 six hundred episodes of The Tonight Show, which was the 53 00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:43.719 most of any of the six hosts in the show's history, 54 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:47.000 and I was like, Leno hosted more than Johnny Carson, 55 00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.599 so I looked it up. Johnny apparently hosted quote unquote 56 00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:52.919 only thirty six hundred and fifty eight episodes. So I 57 00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:55.719 thought about it, and I think that's probably lazy math. 58 00:02:56.639 --> 00:02:58.759 Leno hosted for twenty two years. Let's say he did 59 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.120 forty eight weeks a year. He might have done fifty 60 00:03:01.199 --> 00:03:02.919 or more, but let's call it forty eight. I don't 61 00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:06.080 remember Jay taking a lot of time off. So if 62 00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.080 for twenty two years you did the show five days 63 00:03:09.080 --> 00:03:12.039 a week as opposed to four, you would make up 64 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:15.280 one thousand and fifty six shows on Johnny Carson, who 65 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:18.120 for a long while did four days and towards the 66 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.680 end only did three days. Oh and now that I'm 67 00:03:20.719 --> 00:03:23.639 thinking about it more, I guess part of that would 68 00:03:23.639 --> 00:03:26.120 have been Jay Leno was the Monday guest host for 69 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:28.479 a couple of years, you know, so that's hosting the 70 00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:32.080 Tonight Show. So okay, that math does make sense. But 71 00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:35.919 it was very surprising. GQ is a good interview with 72 00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:38.439 Mark Maron, and it was nice. Somebody asked Maren something 73 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.199 different for a change. GQ asked Maren. In the past, 74 00:03:41.240 --> 00:03:43.280 you've spoken about struggling to pick out a good outfit 75 00:03:43.319 --> 00:03:45.479 when you're on stage filming a special. Do you feel 76 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:47.479 like you dialed it in with this one Mark special's 77 00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.919 on HBO August first. Maren said, yeah, I mean, that's 78 00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:53.120 been a lifelong journey for me. I committed that shirt 79 00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:54.520 and those pants and those boots, and it was I'm 80 00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:55.960 quite a bit. Leading up the special, there was an 81 00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:57.560 issue with the shirt being a little snug when I 82 00:03:57.560 --> 00:03:59.639 sat down the gas between and the buttons would pop open, 83 00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:01.840 but like everything kind of fell into place. I stretched 84 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:03.719 it out when I got there. The wardrobe person, who 85 00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:05.719 was an employee at the theater solved that problem by 86 00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:07.800 putting snaps in between the buttons that you couldn't see. 87 00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:10.120 So that was resolved. This part of my brain that 88 00:04:10.120 --> 00:04:12.280 seeks to be anxious and cost myself minor problems before 89 00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:14.080 I go in, because that's just the way my brain works. 90 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:16.360 That has to work against me in order for me 91 00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:18.480 to have a certain energy, I guess, but it wasn't 92 00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:20.040 there that night, and I just didn't have the usual 93 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.519 habitual anxiety that I usually have heading into something like that. 94 00:04:22.560 --> 00:04:24.319 I knew the stuff, I knew the work, I felt 95 00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:26.319 good about the outfit, felt good about the shirt, felt 96 00:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.839 good about my hair. There was no weird, dumb stuff 97 00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:30.959 that happened that would spiral me out. I mean, it's 98 00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:32.920 about time that that part of my brain stops trying 99 00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:35.279 to f with me. I've avoided medication for most of 100 00:04:35.319 --> 00:04:38.079 my life, but I've been taking something specifically for foundational 101 00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:39.959 anxiety and maybe it was working, I don't know. But 102 00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:41.959 also that theater is a big part of the special. 103 00:04:42.079 --> 00:04:43.560 Is whatever I did up there in that theater of 104 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:45.920 the Bam Harvey. It's not disrespair, but it's frozen in 105 00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.439 a state of decay in a way. They didn't distore it, 106 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:50.240 thought it be what it is, but they maintain it. 107 00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:52.560 So it's got a very interesting personality. To me. Well 108 00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:55.240 looked like a rough go painting. And when I first 109 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:56.959 saw the space, I'm like, there's no way that wall 110 00:04:57.040 --> 00:04:58.000 is going to be as big a part of the 111 00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:00.560 special as I am. I can't explain it exactly why, 112 00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:02.439 and the DP was like, yeah, I get it. And 113 00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:04.920 when he was first looking at it, he's like, I'm 114 00:05:04.959 --> 00:05:07.560 thinking kinsugi. I'm like, I don't know what that is, 115 00:05:07.600 --> 00:05:08.839 and then he told me and I looked it up. 116 00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:12.199 That's a Japanese order for storing broken ceramic pieces with gold. 117 00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:13.759 So he was able to work the lights around that. 118 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:15.480 In the audience in the room and on the rug. 119 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:17.879 Then it fades up during those last two heavier bits 120 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.480 under the wall as sort of a reparative poetic implication. 121 00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:25.720 Mark Maren panicked August first on HBO, Taylor Tumlinson told 122 00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:27.560 The Times of London the hardest thing about being a 123 00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:29.560 woman in comedy he's traveling alone on the road, and 124 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:31.839 so you get to a certain level just more dangerous. 125 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:33.399 When I was twenty into these small towns and doing 126 00:05:33.439 --> 00:05:35.480 these weird gigs by myself, people would try to break 127 00:05:35.480 --> 00:05:37.240 into your hotel rooms because they know you're a loon 128 00:05:37.319 --> 00:05:40.240 in the middle of nowhere. It's scary. Yikes. The reporter 129 00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:43.560 was like, what Taylor said, Yeah, you know, we all 130 00:05:43.639 --> 00:05:47.040 have those stories. She says traveling for comedy can be isolating. 131 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:49.680 She's hired her younger sibling to travel on the road 132 00:05:49.720 --> 00:05:53.319 with her, which has helped her a lot. Dating has 133 00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:55.480 fallen down the list of the stuff that she's able 134 00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:57.199 to get to. Taylor says, the idea of oh it's 135 00:05:57.199 --> 00:05:58.600 going to happen for you, I don't know. We're all 136 00:05:58.600 --> 00:06:01.279 on our phones. You might have to try a little bit. 137 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:02.920 I'm also on the fence about having kids. I don't 138 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:04.600 know how to feel about that. First things first, I'd 139 00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:06.040 like a partner, and I think if I focus the 140 00:06:06.040 --> 00:06:08.120 same level of caret attention on that, and it probably 141 00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:09.720 happened a little faster. Now that my career is in 142 00:06:09.759 --> 00:06:11.560 a place i'm happy with, I have to finish this tour, 143 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:13.959 film the special, finish my book. Then next year I 144 00:06:13.959 --> 00:06:16.319 can focus on finding a partner. I think she's on 145 00:06:16.399 --> 00:06:19.639 the celebrity dating app Raya. Oh yeah, there's a whole 146 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:21.480 other world out there that you and I are not 147 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:24.319 part of. She says, it stinks. I mean, my last 148 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:26.959 relationship was from Raya, so it does work sometimes, but 149 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:29.279 I think dating is just bad across the board. It 150 00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:32.399 can feel uneven because there's so much information publicly available 151 00:06:32.439 --> 00:06:34.199 about me. If I meet somebody who I don't know 152 00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:36.240 anything about, it feels like they have the high ground. 153 00:06:36.959 --> 00:06:39.600 She talked about having more fame and money now, and 154 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:41.399 she said, I'm very conscious of that. You can't go 155 00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:43.240 out on stage and act like, oh, things are still 156 00:06:43.240 --> 00:06:45.759 really hard for me, still having a tough time at work. No, 157 00:06:45.879 --> 00:06:48.000 you're not. You're doing very well. And I think you 158 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:50.120 just have to come at it from a place of gratitude. 159 00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:53.399 It's because of everybody who buys tickets. If you're in Maui, 160 00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:56.399 you go see Shang Wang tonight. He'll beat the Max 161 00:06:56.600 --> 00:07:00.000 Castle Theater. He told Maui News. I'm always trying to 162 00:07:00.040 --> 00:07:01.720 pay attention. I'm almost trying to be present and just 163 00:07:01.720 --> 00:07:05.199 see what's happening, then collecting little moments, little observations you 164 00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:07.079 notice that could be obviously hilarious, or it could just 165 00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:09.600 be something interesting that's not obviously humorous but shared in 166 00:07:09.600 --> 00:07:12.160 a funny way. I love creating something that wasn't here before, 167 00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:14.399 that wasn't here yesterday. I love the process of craft. 168 00:07:14.439 --> 00:07:16.439 I love the idea. It's so open, it's pretty free. 169 00:07:16.879 --> 00:07:19.120 It's you, a microphone and an audience. It's fine if 170 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:20.959 you bomb, that's say you get better. It's always fun 171 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:22.560 to do a good show, but having a good set 172 00:07:22.600 --> 00:07:24.759 isn't that meaningful if you don't try something new. The 173 00:07:24.759 --> 00:07:26.839 most rewarding thing is coming up with something new or 174 00:07:26.879 --> 00:07:29.759 making it better, and the process of just basically being 175 00:07:29.800 --> 00:07:32.000 okay with bombing. I like the idea that people can 176 00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:33.879 now walk out of this show to their regular lives, 177 00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:35.839 see these little things and have a moment just a 178 00:07:35.879 --> 00:07:38.040 moment there to think where maybe they're not an autopilot 179 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.120 when they're brushing their teeth. I like the idea that 180 00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:42.199 after this show, if people really enjoyed it, they can 181 00:07:42.240 --> 00:07:44.360 come across little points into lives where they're not kind 182 00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:46.839 of glossed over or moving through without thinking. We can 183 00:07:46.920 --> 00:07:49.639 consider this moment a little bit to be present. Basically, 184 00:07:50.279 --> 00:07:55.160 Chang Wang Maccastle Theater tonight, seven o'clock MAUI all right, 185 00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:59.920 from Montclairlocal dot com. We are on gossip corner. Montclair 186 00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:02.240 Local was wondering what was going on at Montclair High 187 00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:04.560 School the other day because there was a new sign. 188 00:08:04.759 --> 00:08:09.879 The school had apparently been renamed Aldrin High School. Now interesting, 189 00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:14.079 Buzz Aldrin is from Montclair, New Jersey, but he already 190 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:17.319 has a school in town named in his honor. Susan 191 00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:19.439 is a Montclair resident. She was one of the first 192 00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:22.000 to spot the sign at around five forty five in 193 00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:25.439 the morning while dropping her son off at soccer practice. 194 00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:28.279 She told Montclair Local, my first thought was, am I 195 00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:30.480 seeing things? My second thought was how did I not 196 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:32.600 know about this? Have been living under a rock? And 197 00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:35.200 then I thought we already have a Buzz Aldrin Middle school. 198 00:08:35.559 --> 00:08:38.720 It turns out the sign was for Adam Sandler's new 199 00:08:38.799 --> 00:08:44.320 movie Roommates. The film also stars famous actress Sonny Sandler. 200 00:08:44.799 --> 00:08:46.440 I may have to leave the country. I'm not gonna 201 00:08:46.440 --> 00:08:48.120 be able to take all the Sandler stuff. Speaking of 202 00:08:48.200 --> 00:08:52.159 leaving the country, it's just for laughs. Montreal taking a 203 00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:55.080 look at the English language programming tonight, the Cultural Show 204 00:08:55.080 --> 00:09:00.120 at seven, the JFL Live sessions at seven. Again if 205 00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.559 you heard me ran yesterday. This website is not awesome 206 00:09:02.639 --> 00:09:05.039 this year. In the past, the live sessions have been 207 00:09:05.080 --> 00:09:07.240 album taping, so I'm going to assume that that's what 208 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:11.240 that is. Eight thirty a show called and just like that, 209 00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:14.720 this is Me now an hour with Trana Wintur, The 210 00:09:14.799 --> 00:09:18.240 Nasty Show at nine thirty, and probably a good twenty 211 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:20.320 French shows I didn't tell you about, Oh ten o'clock, 212 00:09:20.360 --> 00:09:23.919 Dino Archie and Chris Robinson at ten, and Midnight Surprise 213 00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.919 at eleven fifty nine. This will really start to pick 214 00:09:27.000 --> 00:09:28.799 up once we get into the week here. This is 215 00:09:28.919 --> 00:09:32.519 very typical Week two of the Montreal comedy festivals, always 216 00:09:32.519 --> 00:09:35.919 the stronger week. Don't read anything into any of this. 217 00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:40.480 All right in Belleville, Ontario, a comedian today is hoping 218 00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:43.559 to set the world record for most garage sales in 219 00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:47.440 one day. Kyle Wolven said, I'd like to go to 220 00:09:47.480 --> 00:09:49.279 the higher ups in the city, all the well connected 221 00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:52.120 city council type people, and explain my idea. And then 222 00:09:52.120 --> 00:09:54.159 it took one person to say that's not a bad idea. 223 00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:56.159 We should try and do something like that. Well, today 224 00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:59.360 the community will aim to set a Guinness World Record 225 00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:02.600 for greatest number of yard sales. There does not appear 226 00:10:02.639 --> 00:10:05.360 to be an official record yet, but there's an event 227 00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:07.799 in the US called the one twenty seven Yard Sale, 228 00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:10.919 which claims to be the world's longest yard sale, crossing 229 00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:14.840 six states at six hundred and ninety miles. Well Wolven said, 230 00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:17.559 people can't help but love yard sales. If they see one, 231 00:10:17.759 --> 00:10:19.240 they get the surge to go and stop at it, 232 00:10:19.279 --> 00:10:21.080 even though most of the stuff there they don't want 233 00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:23.039 or they have already at home. But when you see 234 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:25.039 a yard sale, you go, oh, yeah, cool, come on, 235 00:10:25.120 --> 00:10:27.159 what do they have over there? You can look at 236 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:29.000 their stuff and be like, oh my goodness, you bought 237 00:10:29.039 --> 00:10:30.840 like two of those singing bass fish that hang on 238 00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:33.480 the wall things. I'll give you three fifty for those well, 239 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:36.679 good luck with your record, sir, and that it's your 240 00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:38.759 comedy news for today see tomorrow.
