Speaker 1: Calaruga Shock Media.
Speaker 2: Hey here, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.
Back in the basement. Back to normal episodes and no
more pre tapes. Let's catch up Stephen Colbert. The night
after his show ended, he returned to television. Did you
see this? He showed up on public access television he
hosted only in Monroe, a community access program in Monroe, Michigan.
Here's Stephen Colbert.
Speaker 1: Hello, Also welcome, It's time for another edition of on
LIA Monroe. I'm your guest host Stephen Colbert. Long asime
viewers of OLYA Monroe may remember that back in July
of twenty fifteen, I filled in for the usual hosts
Michelle Bauman and Kailanie Ray Rafco Wilson. Still not sure
how many people that is since I was last here
in Monroe, Michigan, and I spent eleven years as the
primary host of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on CBS,
which came to an end last night. It's been excruciating
twenty three hours without being on TV. So I am
grateful to be able to be here on Monroe Community
Media before they also get acquired by Paramount. Truly a
joy to be back in Monroe, Michigan. I had such
a great experience the last time I was here to
take a micha gander, that I just had to come
back Michigan. Plus, legally speaking, Monroe is the only place
in the world where you can make the show only
in Monroe. It's just like how champagne must be made
in France's Champagne region, or Milwaukee's best must be made
in Milwaukee by drinking an actual beer and then peeing
it into a can. Are they sponsors?
Speaker 2: Only in Monroe? Covers the happenings of Monroe, a town
of about twenty thousand people roughly forty miles southwest of Detroit.
The show's regular hosts Michelle and Kai where his first guests,
Jack White, who grew up and Detroit, served as the
musical director, playing songs on a boombox. Stephen called Byron
Allen and got him on the phone. He made an appearance,
and so did Eminem Eminem, also from Michigan. Steve Bushemi
made a cameo and what he called a public service
announcement for a local restaurant, Buschemy's pizza and subs no relation.
Colbert Taste tested Monroe style chili dogs and made peanut butter,
potato chip and barbecue sauce sandwiches with the actor Jeff Daniels,
who lives in Michigan. This is pretty elaborate to have
happened the night after the Late Show wrapped up. Now. Interestingly,
Colbert has hosted Only in Monroe before, he hosted it
in twenty fifteen, a few months before taking the Late
Show over from David Letterman. That time, he also interviewed
the host of Only Monroe and had Eminem on the show,
who he called a local Michigander who was making a
name for himself in the competitive world of music. So
how did CBS react. They put up takedown notices and boy,
they just looked so petty and lame, and people made
fun of them on the internet. I don't think anybody
at CBS cares about anything. It was also last week
the last broadcast of CBS News Radio. H boy, CBS,
what have you done to your brand? So as soon
as Only on Monroe showed up on YouTube social media,
onlookers noticed that Paramount Skuidance, the parent company of CBS,
and I will point out Star trek Ruiners, had issued
takedown claim citing breach of copyright. CBS had to react
to this. A spokesperson told Variety Stephen Colbert's return to
Monroe in the Only on Monroe episode was financed and
produced by CBS Studios and was posted on Stephen Colbert's
YouTube channel in collaboration with Monroe Comedian Media and the
Late Shows YouTube channels. As is our regular practice, we
send copyright notices to unauthorized websites that post copyrighted content
from CBS and our network slash studio talent, such as
Stephen Colbert. The network set had decided to waive further
enforcement of what it called a standard industry practice. The
series finale of The Law drew six point seven to
four million viewers on Thursday night. That is up from
the Q one average of two point six nine million viewers.
When Colbert premiered in twenty fifteen, he had six point
five to five million viewers that night. Times have changed,
but as a comparison, the final episode of Late Show
with David Letterman drew thirteen point seven to six million viewers.
In a Facebook group, a regular contributor Dylan asked he
was curious what I thought of the finale, and I
don't think anything of it. It just had no impact
on me. You know, it's clearly a big thing, but
like Colbert's entire tenure on The Late Show, I didn't
watch it, didn't hate it, wasn't interested in it. And
again you hear me host the show every day. I
clearly like the idea of Late Night. I'd probably seen
fallon I don't know twice Kimmel. I don't think I've
ever watched an episode of Kimmel. Maybe I've clearly seen
clips and excerpts, but I don't think of that actually
ever put Kimmel on. So Colbert, I mean I watched
the clips while I was in London. I had taped
the whole thing on the DVR, and like, I don't
even feel motivated to watch the whole thing, Sorry everybody.
So yeah, and from what I'm seeing online, people were
just kind of like, yeah, it was okay. Speaking of London,
the Times of London put out this headline why Maverick
comedian Tim Dylon is the new Stephen Colbert. I want
to say, tap the brakes, but they may have a point.
Their subhetter. As the Late Show host makes his eggsit
a new crop of comics. It's poised to replace him
with a modern brand of humor fit for the Internet age.
They recapped a recent Dylan episode. I listened to a
few episodes of Tim on the Plane. I think the
show's not quite as good as it was two years ago,
but it's still When Tim's on, he's on. I just
find that he's on less often. The Times rights for
this episode. It was not a late night talk show monologue.
It went on for an hour, seemed to come straight
off the top of his head, and was posted on
social media rather than broadcast on TV. Donnie Zoldan, I
know Donnie. I know him personally. He owns stand up
in New York. He's quoting this thing he said. The
Daily Show, they do their take. Bill Maher does his
thing every week, John Oliver does his thing. Tim Dillon
does it his own way. It's quite different from anyone else.
Jeffrey Cole as an upcoming book called Disruptors at the
Gate colds all the times younger people aren't watching late
night TV. They may see clips on YouTube. Cole said,
we know the traditional format hasn't worked on streaming yet.
Chelsea Handler did a show similar to her talk show,
it didn't work. The article also name checks the Apple
TV version of The John Stewart Show. Cole said, we're
going to see innovation, but it's gonna have to be
something different than just the band and the Johnny Carson studio.
Just having a band is probably three million dollars a year.
The article also quotes Jimmy Kimmel from last year's Bloomberg
screen Time conference, where kim Will talked about YouTube and
said YouTube pays nothing. YouTube gets to sell it and
keeps half the money. It's quite a deal for them.
It really is. Coming up later this week is good
Night with Ben Gleib on YouTube. Bill Carter said of
Glebe show, it will have a band and we'll have guests.
It'll be on YouTube. They're saying, we think there's life
in the genre. They have an audience that's growing enormously.
I think it's of the viability of doing a show
that is topical. Chelsea Handler not the most popular person
these days. The headline Chelsea Handler faces backlash after criticizing
racist jokes at Kevin heart Roast mentioned this the other
day while standing on a street corner in Scotland. By
the way, shout out to Ryan. Ryan lives in Edinburgh
and is a listener and when he heard me on
a street corner, he reached out to me invited me
out for a drink and I wish the show was
live because I was already back in London by the
time I got the email. But Ryan, thank you was
great connecting with you on the side, and if I
make it up that way again next year, I will
definitely reach out to you. I was in London for
a podcast conference last week and I shot up to
Scotland for the day on Friday. Most people like are
you insane? And like, I, look, I've been to Australia
and I've been to Antarctica. A four hour train ride
with Wi Fi does not scare me. Chelsea Handler had
called out Shane Gillis and some others for their jokes
at the Kevin Heart roast. Chelsea apparently completely unfamiliar with
what as is. She was on Dion Cole's podcast with
the just terrible hackey name funny knowing You, get it,
get it. See it's you know, it's funny knowing you
and it's comedy and it's a Dion dude that is
a terrible name. Let me read this sentence verbatim quote.
Handler called Gillis's lynching joke, Kevin is so short you'd
have to lynch him from a bonside tree. Worse than reap.
That's right, that joke is worse than reap, according to
Chelsea Handler. Chelsea Handler told Dion Cole she'd received messages
on social media about Shane Gillis and Tony Hinchcliff from
their alleged former partners. That's interesting. Handler was asked what
these is alleged former partner said, Andler said, just everything.
We know that they're racist, that they're bigots, their sexist.
Gillis had told The Hollywood Porter, this is a big
moment for Chelsea. I'm glad she's capitalizing. Good for her.
We're all rooting for her anyway, Come see me. July seventeenth,
at the Football Stateium in Philly, there was a New
York Post opinion piece, and that columnist Kristin Fleming took
a shot at Chelsea Handler a q Chelsea Handler of
trying to become quote, the new white savior who speaks
for all black people. Fleming's theory is that Handler felt
upstaged and wrote the abrasive abortion enthusiast has deputized herself
the head of the joke police. How rich is that?
Fleming then added that Chelsea's shtick about being a liberated motherless, alcoholic,
loose lady is getting old. Comedian Steve Byrne weighed in.
Steve burn said, I personally know Shane and Tony aren't racist.
In fact, I don't think Chelsea's racist. Sure, she's got
a long history of promise. Quie in Affinity for Day
Drinking publicly stated she's prescribed a healthy dose of antidepressants,
rumored to be awful to work for or with, has
a punch card to a plastic surgeon, accused of punching
down in her comedy, never been married and had kids
and lives alone in her fifties. Had dinner with Jeffrey Epstein.
But come on, gang, she's not racist. Wow, And we
are long this morning and especially during quiet week, But
I've got more controversy for you. Robbie Hoffman hit with
backlash over controversial comments about Celiac disease. Robbie Hoffman went
on Alex Cooper's podcast. Cooper proposed a game in which
she would give Robbie Hoffman a scenario, and Robbie Hoffman
would decide whether it qualifies as great or deserving of jail.
The topic went to people who are allergic to gluten.
Robbie Hoffman apparently said, quote, is it real, Like I
want to see the outbreak? I want to pick up
a role. We're having roles tonight, just a bag of rolls.
I don't care if it's the Hawaiian roll, whatever role. Okay,
I don't care if it's a dinner roll. Butter it
up and let's see. Hoffman then explained she expects a
person with Celia Act disease to have a reaction similar
to Will Smith in the two thousand and five comedy Hitch.
Hoffman said, if it's not Will Smith blowing up in Hitch,
I don't know. Alex Cooper agreed, saying it does seem
kind of recent. No one was allergic gluten in our
classes growing up. Hoffman said, it's just I got to
see everyone is suddenly celiac by the way they're coming
for us, And fine, I believe you. I'm also joking.
That's what I want to know with these people. Is
it an analogy or preference in case you don't know.
Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition where the immune system
reacts to gluten, sometimes causing damage to the small and testin.
I can tell you it is real. One person on
social media wrote, really loved the part where Robbie Hoffman
says the disease destroying my intestinal lining isn't real.
Speaker 3: Gossip Conna whispers in the street, Gossip con probably repe
gossip Conn where the rumors meet with Johnny Mack.
Speaker 2: It's always a tree.

Speaker 2: Kevin Hart spotted in Las Vegas over a Memorial Day weekend.
TMZ says Kevin and wife we're living it up at
the Omnia Day Club, Las Vegas. The couple was spotted
leaving the wind before making their way over to Caesar's Palace.
DJ Fisher had the place going nuts with booming party tracks,
drinks flowing NonStop, and crowds packed shoulder to shoulder. TMZ
says Kevin was super friendly with fans, chatting and happily
interact with people who came up to him. Meanwhile, Adam
Sandler being spotted a lot in Vancouver. Dwayne Notice is
a guard playing for the cebl's Vancouver Bandits. He also
co hosts the Scene DMS podcast. He said, after practice,
our president Dylan Kolar came over to me. He was like,
I actually got invited to this run with Adam Sandlor,
but I can't make it, and he asked me that
you want to do it. It's right now. I sped
over and when I went there, it was pretty cool. Man.
Notice then teamed up with a dramatic actor, Adam Sandler
for a three on three run around. Notice said, Sandlor
has a high IQ. He's throwing me lobs, He's throwing
me bounce passes, he's throwing behind the back passes. He's
funny man like, he's got a real nineties baller in him.
After he won each game, he'd be like, yo, like
losers off. Who's next? Is like damn, you don't even
want a water even I was getting a little tired.
Notice played with Sandler last Wednesday and again Thursday afternoon.
Why is Sandler in Vancouver? He's filming his latest movie,
Time Out, a psychological thriller, a remake of the similarly
titled French film from two thousand and one. Meanwhile, John
all of Her was in Baltimore.
Speaker 1: Hi, there, it's John Oliver here at campdend Yadd's me
and my kids just came down here. Pete Alonzo was
nice enough to say hello before the game.
Speaker 2: Were the fantastic time. Let's go hose and Drew Carrey
is getting in on the LA mayoral election. He is
not happy with candidate Spencer Pratt. He called Spencer Pratt
a serial scammer. Mister Carrey suggests anyone who votes for
or endorses Spencer Pratt from mayor of LA needs to
get their head out of their ass. I understand being angry,
slash unsatisfied, but at least get behind someone competent and
add some serial scammer without a soul or moral compass.
