00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, I'm Shinny Mack with your daily

2
00:00:12.119 --> 00:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>comedy news. I'm freezing es in the morning again. Please stop.

3
00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:18.320
<v Speaker 1>This is your daily comedy news and daily briefing on

4
00:00:18.399 --> 00:00:21.760
<v Speaker 1>stand up comedy, comedians and the comedy industry. A sentence

5
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:24.199
<v Speaker 1>the algorithm loves for some reason. I'll keep saying it.

6
00:00:24.559 --> 00:00:28.359
<v Speaker 1>Conan O'Brien caught up with Chris Fleming for Interview magazine.

7
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Did you watch Chris Fleming on HBO Max? I'm curious

8
00:00:32.359 --> 00:00:35.079
<v Speaker 1>what the quote unquote the normies think of this. This

9
00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:36.759
<v Speaker 1>is not you know, Bill Burr in front of a

10
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:39.960
<v Speaker 1>brick wall. This is something else entirely. I sent it

11
00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.520
<v Speaker 1>to my friend Mark and I'm like, watch Chris Fleming

12
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>and when you think it's weird, stick with it. And

13
00:00:44.320 --> 00:00:46.600
<v Speaker 1>he wrote back to me, I'm glad you told me

14
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:48.399
<v Speaker 1>to stick with it, because I totally would have bailed

15
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:50.600
<v Speaker 1>it's weird. I loved it. I thought it was fantastic.

16
00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:53.399
<v Speaker 1>That is currently the number one special of the year.

17
00:00:54.039 --> 00:00:57.799
<v Speaker 1>Chris Fleming and Conan O'Brien in Interview Magazine. Fleming said,

18
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:01.159
<v Speaker 1>have you seen this magazine? Usually it's like Alexander Scoresguard

19
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:04.680
<v Speaker 1>interviewed by Judge Judy or Fiona Apple interviewed by the

20
00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.480
<v Speaker 1>Tinder Swindler. But you and I actually make sense together,

21
00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:10.159
<v Speaker 1>Gonu said. This makes sense because I have a hard

22
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>time imagining who I can relate to more than mister Fleming. Here,

23
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:15.400
<v Speaker 1>your ridiculous figure. I've been enamored with you for a

24
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:17.280
<v Speaker 1>long time, and I wish I were talking to the

25
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:20.120
<v Speaker 1>late illusionist Doug Henning. Conan said, I can see you

26
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:22.519
<v Speaker 1>took my advice. I told you long ago, don't move

27
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:27.719
<v Speaker 1>around so much. O'Brien said, I said, I want you

28
00:01:27.760 --> 00:01:31.200
<v Speaker 1>to wear very masculine, working class clothing. Fleming said, you

29
00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:33.599
<v Speaker 1>gave me a Men's Warehouse gift certificate, and you whispered

30
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:35.519
<v Speaker 1>in my ear stillness is king. Now, if you haven't

31
00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:37.079
<v Speaker 1>watched the specially, you have no idea why that is

32
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:40.120
<v Speaker 1>so funny. Gonan, make sure all the references are accessible

33
00:01:40.120 --> 00:01:41.920
<v Speaker 1>to all age groups. That means none of your trader

34
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Joe's marginalia no takes on NPR. And I insisted that

35
00:01:45.640 --> 00:01:47.640
<v Speaker 1>you talk at length about the nineteen seventy five Red

36
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Sox and bring up fred Lin repeatedly, and you said,

37
00:01:49.719 --> 00:01:51.959
<v Speaker 1>got it. And then to my surprise. I tune in

38
00:01:51.959 --> 00:01:53.719
<v Speaker 1>and you're up to your old high jinks. You imp.

39
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:55.879
<v Speaker 1>Chris said, I had a manager who said, I don't

40
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:58.799
<v Speaker 1>know what you're talking about ninety percent of the time, Conan,

41
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.560
<v Speaker 1>you've established a rhythm. It's completely yours. You lull people

42
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:03.319
<v Speaker 1>into the state where suddenly they know what everything about

43
00:02:03.359 --> 00:02:05.640
<v Speaker 1>this specific guy who's serving you a boba t and

44
00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:07.519
<v Speaker 1>we're all just there with you, even though I shouldn't

45
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:09.080
<v Speaker 1>know what you're talking about because I've never had bobat

46
00:02:09.199 --> 00:02:12.879
<v Speaker 1>in my life. Funny shange here, Conan says, just today,

47
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:14.960
<v Speaker 1>Jon Appatow found a clip at me from nineteen eighty

48
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:16.759
<v Speaker 1>six in the background at some comedy event that he's

49
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:18.719
<v Speaker 1>doing a documentary about. Chris said, oh, I didn't know

50
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:21.639
<v Speaker 1>he did documentaries, Conan. It's a documentary about the time

51
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:26.240
<v Speaker 1>he stopped doing documentaries. Fun stuff there at the interview magazine.

52
00:02:26.280 --> 00:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk more about Chris Fleming in the second half.

53
00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Are you following this Jim Carrey thing? Did you see this?

54
00:02:31.800 --> 00:02:34.599
<v Speaker 1>Last week? There was an award show and Jim Carrey

55
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.919
<v Speaker 1>showed up, or maybe it wasn't actually Jim Carrey. Did

56
00:02:37.919 --> 00:02:39.960
<v Speaker 1>you see this? People are like, is that Jim Carrey.

57
00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:41.919
<v Speaker 1>It kind of looks like Jim Carrey, but yet not

58
00:02:42.039 --> 00:02:44.319
<v Speaker 1>at all like Jim Carrey. Is Jim Carrey doing a bit?

59
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:47.319
<v Speaker 1>Did Jim Carrey have botox? Did Jim Carrey have plastic surgery?

60
00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Did the Illuminati replace Jim Carrey with a clone that's

61
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:52.800
<v Speaker 1>not that good? Nobody knows what's going on. Well, there's

62
00:02:52.879 --> 00:02:55.680
<v Speaker 1>a new wrinkle to this that I love. Makeup artist

63
00:02:55.719 --> 00:02:59.800
<v Speaker 1>Alexis Stone claims that it was he who appeared last

64
00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:04.479
<v Speaker 1>week week as Jim Carrey. On Instagram, Alexis posted Alexis

65
00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:08.120
<v Speaker 1>Stone as Jim Carrey in Paris. The post included two

66
00:03:08.120 --> 00:03:10.960
<v Speaker 1>photos of quote unquote Jim Carrey at the event, and

67
00:03:11.120 --> 00:03:13.680
<v Speaker 1>one photo of a masked teeth and a dark wig

68
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:18.319
<v Speaker 1>that resembled Jim Carrey's new look. Now, the Cesar Awards

69
00:03:18.360 --> 00:03:20.599
<v Speaker 1>say that Jim Carrey worked on his speech in French

70
00:03:20.599 --> 00:03:23.960
<v Speaker 1>for months and that there is no clone. In a statement,

71
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.639
<v Speaker 1>Gregory Collier, the General Delegate of the Caesar Awards, said

72
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:31.240
<v Speaker 1>the rumors are a non issue. Jim Carrey's visit has

73
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:33.479
<v Speaker 1>been planned since this summer. From the outside, it was

74
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:37.039
<v Speaker 1>extremely touched by the Academy's invitation eight months of ongoing

75
00:03:37.080 --> 00:03:40.000
<v Speaker 1>constructive discussions. He worked on a speech in French for months,

76
00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:43.159
<v Speaker 1>asking me about the exact pronunciation of certain words. He

77
00:03:43.199 --> 00:03:45.439
<v Speaker 1>came with his partner, his daughter, his grandson, of twelve,

78
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.800
<v Speaker 1>close friends and family members. His longtime publicist accompanied him.

79
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.240
<v Speaker 1>His old friend Michael Gondrey, who's made a film and

80
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.840
<v Speaker 1>too serious with him, was there and they were delighted

81
00:03:53.840 --> 00:03:56.120
<v Speaker 1>to see each other again. For me, it's a non issue.

82
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:59.599
<v Speaker 1>I just remember his generosity, his kindness, has benevolence, his elegance.

83
00:03:59.639 --> 00:04:04.080
<v Speaker 1>I think this is hilarious. Stavros Halkias is pairing up

84
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:07.840
<v Speaker 1>with manscaped together. They are auctioning off a hair ball

85
00:04:07.919 --> 00:04:11.039
<v Speaker 1>collected from the head of Stavros Halkias. At least I

86
00:04:11.080 --> 00:04:14.439
<v Speaker 1>assume it's the head. Jimmy Stark is the creative director

87
00:04:14.479 --> 00:04:18.319
<v Speaker 1>at Quality Meats, a creative agency with a quirky name.

88
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:21.920
<v Speaker 1>Jamie Stark says, we can neither confirm nor deny the

89
00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:25.319
<v Speaker 1>sources of the hairs for making of this hairball. We're

90
00:04:25.319 --> 00:04:28.199
<v Speaker 1>pretty sure there's one hundred percent genuine human body hair

91
00:04:28.199 --> 00:04:31.000
<v Speaker 1>in it, including Stavros's. We like to think of it

92
00:04:31.040 --> 00:04:32.959
<v Speaker 1>as a hot dog styled hairball and that you don't

93
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:35.079
<v Speaker 1>exactly know all the sources of the hair meats it's

94
00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.720
<v Speaker 1>made up of. You've already missed out on the auction.

95
00:04:37.879 --> 00:04:40.199
<v Speaker 1>Sorry I didn't tell you in time. You could have

96
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:44.199
<v Speaker 1>had the hairball for just five hundred ten dollars. Proceeds

97
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.560
<v Speaker 1>from the auction went to Manscape's brand partner, the Testicular

98
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:51.600
<v Speaker 1>Cancer Society, supporting awareness, education and resources for men's health.

99
00:04:52.040 --> 00:04:54.000
<v Speaker 1>Are you in Hollywood? Once you head on over to

100
00:04:54.079 --> 00:04:56.839
<v Speaker 1>the Hollywood Walk of Fame around eleven thirty today and

101
00:04:56.879 --> 00:04:59.959
<v Speaker 1>you might see Gabriel Iglesias. I hope you see him

102
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:01.879
<v Speaker 1>because he's supposed to be there to get his star

103
00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:04.680
<v Speaker 1>on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A bunch of the

104
00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:08.279
<v Speaker 1>cast from the Office reunited at Sunday Nights Actor Awards.

105
00:05:08.399 --> 00:05:11.759
<v Speaker 1>It was Mindy Kaling, Jenni Fisher, Angela Kinsey, and Ellie Camper,

106
00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:14.600
<v Speaker 1>which let me decide by here. When I was driving

107
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:17.240
<v Speaker 1>around with my wife over the weekend, I was just

108
00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:19.839
<v Speaker 1>raving about scrubs. Have you caught on that Alex Scrubs?

109
00:05:20.199 --> 00:05:23.680
<v Speaker 1>And how hard it is to even get everyone back together.

110
00:05:23.720 --> 00:05:26.120
<v Speaker 1>And I said, for example, if they brought the Office back,

111
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:30.600
<v Speaker 1>you would get Jenna Angela, Kevin Creed, Oscar, they'd all

112
00:05:30.600 --> 00:05:32.920
<v Speaker 1>do it in a second, and yet there's no way

113
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Steve Crall would do it, and there's no way Krasinski

114
00:05:34.759 --> 00:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>would do it. And then my wife was like, what

115
00:05:36.079 --> 00:05:38.720
<v Speaker 1>about Dwight trut And my take is that Rain Wilson

116
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.240
<v Speaker 1>would successfully hold out for more money and get it,

117
00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:43.879
<v Speaker 1>and then they'd put a new lead on top I Digress.

118
00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:46.439
<v Speaker 1>Jenna Fisher recalled the relentless schedule of the Office. She

119
00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.000
<v Speaker 1>said it meant Christmas episodes and Valentine's episodes and super

120
00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:51.639
<v Speaker 1>Bowl episodes and sometimes filler episodes that were kind of bad.

121
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.079
<v Speaker 1>Ellie Camper said, but it didn't matter because there was

122
00:05:54.079 --> 00:05:57.000
<v Speaker 1>always another one right around the corner. The Actor's Awards

123
00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:00.720
<v Speaker 1>revealed the reunion was all down to Mindy Kayling, executive producer,

124
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:02.720
<v Speaker 1>who told Variety we had reached out to her about

125
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:04.199
<v Speaker 1>being presented, and she came back with the idea of

126
00:06:04.240 --> 00:06:05.759
<v Speaker 1>what if I did at reunion with all the women

127
00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:07.680
<v Speaker 1>of the Office, and we were like yeah. Within like

128
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:09.680
<v Speaker 1>an hour, she had texted them all. She basically booked

129
00:06:09.720 --> 00:06:12.519
<v Speaker 1>them all for us. Some folks are mad at Saturday

130
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:16.079
<v Speaker 1>Night Live for a sketch that didn't even air. Apparently,

131
00:06:16.120 --> 00:06:18.720
<v Speaker 1>there was a Cut for Time sketch in which SNL

132
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:22.439
<v Speaker 1>sent up the BAFTA racial slur incident. Anyway. In the

133
00:06:22.600 --> 00:06:25.399
<v Speaker 1>Cut for Time sketch titled Turet's, a host of celebrities

134
00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:28.439
<v Speaker 1>including JK Rawling, Mel Gibson, Army Hammer, Louis c k

135
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.720
<v Speaker 1>and Bill Cosby claim they suffer from Tourette's, which would

136
00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:35.560
<v Speaker 1>explain the problematic stuff they've been involved with. Tourette's Action

137
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:39.720
<v Speaker 1>CEO Emma McNally was not happy with this. She apparently

138
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:43.879
<v Speaker 1>sent an email to Deadline. This is not acceptable, she wrote.

139
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Mocking and disabilities never acceptable. It would not be tolerated

140
00:06:47.160 --> 00:06:49.240
<v Speaker 1>for any other condition, and it should not be tolerated

141
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:52.480
<v Speaker 1>by people with tourets. In the sketch, host Connor's story

142
00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:55.240
<v Speaker 1>played Army Hammer saying not many people know this, but

143
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:57.720
<v Speaker 1>one of the most common side effects of Tourett's cannibalism

144
00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:01.199
<v Speaker 1>Ashley Pitty is JK. Ralling said that Tarrett's isn't just

145
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.680
<v Speaker 1>blurting out offensive word. It could be a year's long

146
00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:07.120
<v Speaker 1>obsession with something like trans writes Keenan Thompson. As Bill

147
00:07:07.160 --> 00:07:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Cosby claimed to suffer from drink. Turett's Kanye West, played

148
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:13.120
<v Speaker 1>by Cam Patterson, in a rare appearance, declared he has

149
00:07:13.319 --> 00:07:16.519
<v Speaker 1>like three different types of Turetts. Even Michael Jay made

150
00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:18.839
<v Speaker 1>an appearance saying Tourett's makes us do horrible things to

151
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:22.120
<v Speaker 1>the white guy we work with. The sketch was sponsored

152
00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:27.639
<v Speaker 1>by the National Workforce of Rethinking Disabilities aka n WORD.

153
00:07:28.279 --> 00:07:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Late Night reports that they had to scrap the original

154
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:33.439
<v Speaker 1>cold open. In the original version, it would have been

155
00:07:33.480 --> 00:07:36.120
<v Speaker 1>The State of the Union, with James Austin Johnson's Donald

156
00:07:36.160 --> 00:07:39.319
<v Speaker 1>Trump making jokes about deflecting from the Epstein Files and

157
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:42.240
<v Speaker 1>claiming that New York City Mayor zooron mom Donnie was

158
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:44.800
<v Speaker 1>thirsty for him. That all got scrapped and we got

159
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:48.439
<v Speaker 1>a pretty bad version of James Austin Johnson as Trump

160
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:51.040
<v Speaker 1>at two in the morning announcing the war. I used

161
00:07:51.079 --> 00:07:54.639
<v Speaker 1>to really like James's impression. It is really drifting now,

162
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.040
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know what SNL's got to do with Trump.

163
00:07:57.079 --> 00:07:58.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if James needs to just like sit

164
00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:01.000
<v Speaker 1>home for a week and tweak it, but that impression

165
00:08:01.040 --> 00:08:04.000
<v Speaker 1>is just really drifting. Let me just take a second

166
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:07.279
<v Speaker 1>here to just like thank so many of you. First

167
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.920
<v Speaker 1>of all, the feedback I got on the Pete Holmes interview,

168
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:11.879
<v Speaker 1>thank you. I got a lot of lovely notes. It

169
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:14.040
<v Speaker 1>seemed that people really dug it. First of all, thank

170
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:15.759
<v Speaker 1>you to Pete Holmes for doing it and the people

171
00:08:15.759 --> 00:08:17.680
<v Speaker 1>at the eight hundter Bound Guerilla who made that happen.

172
00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:20.079
<v Speaker 1>But thank you. You know, the notes on the side

173
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.120
<v Speaker 1>means something because otherwise I'm just a guy in the basement,

174
00:08:22.120 --> 00:08:24.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, basically talking into the wall, and sometimes the

175
00:08:24.079 --> 00:08:26.160
<v Speaker 1>dog stares at me while I do it, So thank

176
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:28.720
<v Speaker 1>you for that. Also, people have been sending in things.

177
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:31.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm sitting on a few things from a production standpoint.

178
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:35.120
<v Speaker 1>Jay Leno had talked about his Mount rushmoref comedy. I'm

179
00:08:35.159 --> 00:08:37.240
<v Speaker 1>sitting on that. There's a great article about how Scrubs

180
00:08:37.399 --> 00:08:39.360
<v Speaker 1>was able to recreate the hospital. I'll probably do that

181
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:42.240
<v Speaker 1>later in the week, but I'm still on Schrodinger's jury duty.

182
00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:44.480
<v Speaker 1>I had a call again on Monday night. I have

183
00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:46.200
<v Speaker 1>to call again Wednesday night, so like, I never know

184
00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:48.679
<v Speaker 1>what my next day is going to be. So some

185
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:50.320
<v Speaker 1>of this stuff that I'm holding on to is just

186
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:53.039
<v Speaker 1>because I can't even judge my own production schedule right now.

187
00:08:53.120 --> 00:08:55.799
<v Speaker 1>There is in the back end. There's an episode it's

188
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:58.559
<v Speaker 1>probably like four years old and definitely has the old

189
00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.200
<v Speaker 1>theme music on it. Of like just me riffing on

190
00:09:01.480 --> 00:09:03.399
<v Speaker 1>what at that time was somebody's list of the top

191
00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.279
<v Speaker 1>fifteen comedians. That was like my what if I get

192
00:09:06.279 --> 00:09:08.879
<v Speaker 1>COVID episode that I was just gonna play someday if

193
00:09:08.879 --> 00:09:11.000
<v Speaker 1>I couldn't talk. I've never had to use it, but

194
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.240
<v Speaker 1>it's just sitting there knock on wood anyway, thank you

195
00:09:13.240 --> 00:09:15.919
<v Speaker 1>for all the notes, and Richard sometimes sends me notes

196
00:09:15.919 --> 00:09:18.759
<v Speaker 1>when I screw up the uploads. Richard appreciate that my

197
00:09:18.919 --> 00:09:21.360
<v Speaker 1>email address is in the show. Not It's always great

198
00:09:21.360 --> 00:09:24.600
<v Speaker 1>to hear from people. Don't forget Comedy Survivor roles are

199
00:09:24.600 --> 00:09:28.399
<v Speaker 1>in oh wait, Actual Survivor. I'm still picking away at

200
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:30.279
<v Speaker 1>episode one of that first of all is up against

201
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:33.440
<v Speaker 1>Scrubs three hours of Survivor of like, Real Survivor is

202
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:35.519
<v Speaker 1>like way too much, guys, Just you can't hand it

203
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.639
<v Speaker 1>in a three hour episode, Like it's just my numbing.

204
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:39.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm sitting there and I'm like, there's still an hour

205
00:09:39.320 --> 00:09:42.399
<v Speaker 1>left of this. I can't But Comedy Survivor is a

206
00:09:42.440 --> 00:09:44.879
<v Speaker 1>lot of fun. Head to the Facebook group Daily comedy

207
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:48.360
<v Speaker 1>news podcast group Vote Someone Off. It's starting to get

208
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:52.200
<v Speaker 1>down to it now, and I've already started scribbling down.

209
00:09:52.480 --> 00:09:56.240
<v Speaker 1>I've got this idea for Comedy Survivor, Heroes and Villains.

210
00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:58.759
<v Speaker 1>I've got an idea for that. But when we get

211
00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:00.240
<v Speaker 1>to the end of Comedy Survivor, I'm gonn I let

212
00:10:00.279 --> 00:10:02.039
<v Speaker 1>it take a break. I don't want to, like endlessly

213
00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:03.559
<v Speaker 1>do it. I think I think that kind of thing

214
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:05.240
<v Speaker 1>works best if like, we do it for a while,

215
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:06.639
<v Speaker 1>then we don't do it for a while, and then

216
00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:08.879
<v Speaker 1>we bring it back again. But I'm kind of scribbling

217
00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:10.960
<v Speaker 1>down a heroes and villain's idea for season two of

218
00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:14.559
<v Speaker 1>Comedy Survivor. Take a look at the ratings. Scrubs did

219
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:17.480
<v Speaker 1>pretty well. The debut episode pulled in four point four

220
00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:20.759
<v Speaker 1>to one million viewers, did a point six six rating

221
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:23.720
<v Speaker 1>in the eighteen to forty nine s. The second episode

222
00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:26.240
<v Speaker 1>average three point five to two million viewers and a

223
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:27.879
<v Speaker 1>point five to five in the eighteen to forty nine

224
00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:30.200
<v Speaker 1>So I did see sim people on the Reddit saying

225
00:10:30.200 --> 00:10:33.200
<v Speaker 1>they didn't realize there was a second episode. After the

226
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:36.639
<v Speaker 1>second Scrubs was the premiere of Nate Brighetzi's The greatest

227
00:10:36.679 --> 00:10:40.120
<v Speaker 1>average American that true two point three eight million viewers.

228
00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:43.159
<v Speaker 1>So we had Scrubs with four forty one, then Second

229
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:45.799
<v Speaker 1>Scrubs three fifty two, and then Nate two thirty eight,

230
00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:49.440
<v Speaker 1>which seems like a bad number. However, it did better

231
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:52.600
<v Speaker 1>than The Golden Bachelor did in the same spot last fall.

232
00:10:52.639 --> 00:10:54.159
<v Speaker 1>And you know how much budgets there was on The

233
00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Golden Bachelor and Nate's thing, you know, giving away sixty

234
00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:01.000
<v Speaker 1>seven grand is probably dirt cheap to produce. That thing

235
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:03.559
<v Speaker 1>might run for fifteen years just because of the money

236
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:06.399
<v Speaker 1>of it all. Friend of the show, Jason Zinneman in

237
00:11:06.440 --> 00:11:09.879
<v Speaker 1>The New York Times wrote an article five great specials

238
00:11:09.919 --> 00:11:12.799
<v Speaker 1>to stream this winter. He writes, Taylor Thompson, Kevin Neal

239
00:11:12.840 --> 00:11:15.879
<v Speaker 1>and Chris Spencer, Isabelle Hagen and Jackie Kashan deliver very

240
00:11:15.879 --> 00:11:18.120
<v Speaker 1>different but very funny hours to get you through the cold.

241
00:11:18.480 --> 00:11:21.639
<v Speaker 1>Let me go first, I watched a bunch of specials.

242
00:11:21.919 --> 00:11:24.639
<v Speaker 1>Chris Flemings is the best of the year. It's hilarious.

243
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:26.639
<v Speaker 1>I totally get if you put this on and you're like,

244
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:28.840
<v Speaker 1>this is not for me, I get it, Okay, something

245
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:31.519
<v Speaker 1>a little more traditional, Pete Holmes. I think we all

246
00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:33.039
<v Speaker 1>have a crush on Pete Holmes right now. All right,

247
00:11:33.080 --> 00:11:36.639
<v Speaker 1>So Pete Holmes special was really good. Jackie Caation's special

248
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:40.200
<v Speaker 1>on YouTube was very, very funny. Enjoy that a lot.

249
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:43.279
<v Speaker 1>Cant Williams, I liked a lot. I have that probably

250
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:46.279
<v Speaker 1>at two, maybe Pete at three. Right now, it's early

251
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:48.879
<v Speaker 1>in the year. I'm not sure Kats was pound for

252
00:11:49.039 --> 00:11:51.799
<v Speaker 1>pound funny, but he's an entertainer, and just the hour

253
00:11:51.879 --> 00:11:55.480
<v Speaker 1>went by really quickly. I did not like Taylor Thomason's special.

254
00:11:55.559 --> 00:11:57.600
<v Speaker 1>It just did not grab me. I just was not

255
00:11:57.919 --> 00:12:00.559
<v Speaker 1>interested in at all. Jason Zinniman in The New York

256
00:12:00.600 --> 00:12:04.039
<v Speaker 1>Times says Tominson makes her most deeply felt points through

257
00:12:04.039 --> 00:12:07.840
<v Speaker 1>confessional jokes. Not takes a comic who favors concision. Sheakespan's

258
00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:10.440
<v Speaker 1>her palate in this special, offering an elaborate theatrical spoof

259
00:12:10.440 --> 00:12:13.360
<v Speaker 1>of a Christian comedian, but also digging deep into Bible stories,

260
00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:15.679
<v Speaker 1>finding a fresh comic take on the absolute bleakness of

261
00:12:15.720 --> 00:12:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Noah's Ark. Jason like Kevin Nila, and even though he's

262
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:20.440
<v Speaker 1>been a successful comic for four decades, I did not

263
00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:22.600
<v Speaker 1>realize how funny Kevin Neilan was until I heard him

264
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:25.440
<v Speaker 1>on Conan's pod Neilan is a terrific joke writer, alert

265
00:12:25.519 --> 00:12:28.559
<v Speaker 1>to paradox statements of the obvious and the silliness of language.

266
00:12:29.000 --> 00:12:31.639
<v Speaker 1>Chris Spencer's goat adjacent on Hulu and you know my

267
00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:34.720
<v Speaker 1>take on Hulu specials Zinneman writes. In the middle of

268
00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:36.600
<v Speaker 1>this well made fifty minute special with the feel of

269
00:12:36.639 --> 00:12:39.639
<v Speaker 1>a confidently hosted Hollywood dinner party, Chris Spencer interrupts a

270
00:12:39.720 --> 00:12:41.000
<v Speaker 1>joke to look down at a man in the front

271
00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:42.919
<v Speaker 1>row and offer a note that note, I'm gonna need

272
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:46.039
<v Speaker 1>you to laugh sometime today. That's pretty funny. Isabelle Hagen

273
00:12:46.039 --> 00:12:49.840
<v Speaker 1>at the bitter end. That's on veeps. Isabelle tells dirty

274
00:12:49.879 --> 00:12:53.200
<v Speaker 1>jokes in between playing the viola. She's a Juilliard trained

275
00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:55.919
<v Speaker 1>artist who uses classical music to set up punchlines. Love

276
00:12:55.960 --> 00:12:58.480
<v Speaker 1>it Once, she gets last from Mela Conolly, premises like

277
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:01.399
<v Speaker 1>a persuasive, defensive regret. Hagen is not the first comic

278
00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:03.960
<v Speaker 1>to deliver deadpan one liners with resting sad face. As

279
00:13:03.960 --> 00:13:06.840
<v Speaker 1>she puts it. At first, the viola music merely helps

280
00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.440
<v Speaker 1>match the respectable with the raunchy. What becomes clear is

281
00:13:09.440 --> 00:13:12.480
<v Speaker 1>that Hagen is something more ambitious in mind. She wants

282
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:15.639
<v Speaker 1>to introduce Bach to comedy fans, to build a place

283
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:17.600
<v Speaker 1>where she can play her instrument and have that stand

284
00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:21.559
<v Speaker 1>by itself independently of jokes. Love it Jackie Kashan's altercation

285
00:13:21.879 --> 00:13:24.159
<v Speaker 1>Cashen is the kind of comic who turns fury into

286
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:27.799
<v Speaker 1>eloquent goofiness. I thought that one was very good, and

287
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:29.399
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to leave you with this. I haven't talked

288
00:13:29.399 --> 00:13:33.720
<v Speaker 1>about the war. I suspect on tomorrow's show there will

289
00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:35.279
<v Speaker 1>be a lot of stuff about the war because we'll

290
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.159
<v Speaker 1>have cycled through the late night shows at least once,

291
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:40.159
<v Speaker 1>so tomorrow is likely going to be somewhat political. But

292
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:43.320
<v Speaker 1>there was a video that started circulating on Saturday and

293
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:47.080
<v Speaker 1>I have played it, I don't know fifteen times. It

294
00:13:47.200 --> 00:13:52.000
<v Speaker 1>is a AI generated music video by a Flock of
