Speaker 1: Calarugas Shark Media from Scotland. I'm Johnny Mack with a
catch up episode of Daily Comedy News. As I mentioned
on Friday's episode, I am traveling. I'm coming to you
from Edinburgh, Scotland. But let's catch up. Stephen Colbert wrapped
up the Late Show and let's have fun with today's episode.
I'm doing this from a street corner. I haven't actually
listened to these clips I'm about to play. I'm gonna
pull them from the hotel later. But Stephen Colbert hosted
the final episode of the Late Show and apparently he said.
Speaker 2: This, folks, we have done over eighteen hundred of these shows,
and most nights I come out here and I talked
to the audience beforehand, and tonight I thought I'd talked
to the audience in here and the audience out there
at home. This show I want you to know, and
you to know, has been a joy for us to
do for you. In fact, we call the show the
joy Machine.
Speaker 3: All right.
Speaker 2: Lewis stole it from us and we are currently in
litigation right now. You better lawyer up, buddy. We call
the joy Machine because to do this many shows, it
has to be a machine. But the thing is, if
you choose to do it with joy, it doesn't hurt
as much when your fingers get caught in the gears.
And I cannot adequately explain to you what the people
who work here have done for each other and how
much we mean to each other.
Speaker 3: So I will just say I would just say to them,
I would just.
Speaker 2: Say to them, you are all the great Achilles whom
we knew.
Speaker 1: Now.
Speaker 2: On night one of the Colbert Rapport back in the day,
I said, anyone can read the news to you. I
promised to feel the news at you. And I realized
pretty soon in this job that our job over here
was different. We were here to feel the news with you.
And I don't know about you, but I sure have
felt it.
Speaker 1: Oh and that wasn't all Stephen Colbert had to say.
Apparently he said this too.
Speaker 2: Welcome, Welcome, one and all to the Late Show. I'm
your host, Stephen Colbert.
Speaker 1: Set out.
Speaker 2: If you're just tuning into the Late Show, you missed
a lot. Tonight is our final broadcast from the Ed
Sullivan Theater, where no, no, we were lucky enough to
be here for the last eleven years. All right, that
was can't take this for granted. So actually, technically our
first show back in July of twenty fifteen, was from
a public access station in Monroe, Michigan, for an audience
of twelve people, and show business being what it is
these days, it's probably where you'll see me next. There
is so much history here in the Ed Sullivan Theater,
and we've been honored to have been just a small
part of it. Nichols and May played on the stage.
The Beatles made their American debut here, and.
Speaker 1: This is true.
Speaker 2: This is true. Backstage, Elvis used the bathroom and didn't die.
We've had so much fun in this theater, so many
great segments. I'll miss doing first drafts, where I show
the final draft of a green card and then show
the playfully wrong first draft. So we made one for tonight.
Speaker 4: It's this.
Speaker 2: One's pretty nice. This is this isn't goodbye, it's see
you later. Yes, but the first draft said this isn't goodbye.
How do you start an OnlyFans?
Speaker 1: The final guest on Stephen Colbert's Late Show who turned
off the lights was the Pope? It was not. It
was Sir Paul McCartney.
Speaker 4: Same same say hello, hello, I don't know say goodbye.
Speaker 1: I don't know bye Hell. When I get back home,
I'll do more of a recap on Colbert. The other
thing I see brewing is this thing with Shane Gillis
and Chelsea Handler. I don't know if you saw this one.
Thank you for AI for pulling this together because that
I mentioned. I'm on a street corner in Scotland. Comedian
Chelsea Handler kicked off a pretty major comedy world argument
this week. She blasted Shane Gillis and Tony Hingecliff over
material from the roast of Kevin Hart. Chelsea was on
Dion Cole's podcast Funny Knowing You. She called some of
the roast material gross, racist, sexist, and bigoted. We'll get
into this in a second, specifically targeting Shane Gillis's lynching
joke about Kevin Hart and Tony hingchecliff jokes about Cheryl
Underwood's late husband. Handler said jokes involving lynching across the
line and argue comics were leaning too hard into anti
woke shock humor. Shane Gillis responded online with a statement
He said he was happy that Chelsea Handler is capitalizing
on the moment, and then plugged his upcoming stadium show
in Philadelphia. Cheryl Underwood said some jokes did go too far,
especially references to George Floyd and Lynching. She noted that
comics had contacted her before the roast regarding jokes about
her late husband Johnnie Mack. Always likes a good controversy,
so we'll keep an eye on that one and I'll
recap it a little better than that when I get back.
Let's just hang out. This is just an extra episode.
I'm on the Royal Mile now. I just left Edinburgh Castle.
The reason I'm here at all is this week was
the podcast show in London, so US professional podcasters all mets,
and that's why I had to tape a few episodes there.
But I missed you guys. And I was walking down
the street here and I saw the headquarters of the
Edinburgh Fringe and heard the guy playing the bagpipes and
I'm like, oh, you have a afordable recorder. Why don't
you use it? But hey, that is your catch up
episode live on tape from Scotland. Somewhere in the feed.
There's a normal Saturday episode and a normal Sunday episode.
Speaker 4: Do you know what to do?
Speaker 1: You'll figure it out and we'll catch up on stuff
next week. Seea
