Speaker 1: Callarogashock Media. Hey, Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.
I think we're all crushed and sad and just really
upset that the Knicks lost on Monday Night. Michael Jay
is blaming the President of the United States, which I
got to say is totally unfair. The reason the Knicks
lost was because of the crooked referees. That is the reason.
Call some fouls both ways, guys, I digress. Michael Jay
posted on Instagram, you just had to invite Trumpty Dumpty
Spurs one fifteen New York Knicks one to eleven. Knicks
play tonight at eight thirty. Johnny Mack plays volleyball at
six thirty. Should be a big night. Conan O'Brien has
partnered with AI cybersecurity firm Adaptive Security. Conan O'Brien will
start in a fifteen part training series. I wonder how
much he's getting paid for this, because fifteen's a lot.
Conan can't be cheap. These AI people have money. Conan
will star in a fifteen port training series four Customers,
exploring the various cyber threats emerging in the AI age,
from voice cloning and impersonations to the ever present threats
like phishing and even physical safety. Each episode of the
training series, available to Adaptive's enterprise customer base, begins with
Conan O'Brien deploying a bit that's relevant to the episode's topic.
Conan said, I teamed up with Adaptive Security just to
figure out what these kids are up to. Turns out
it's pretty cool. The company reportedly has raised more than
one hundred and forty million dollars through several investment rounds.
Some of that went to Conan O'Brien. Dave Chappelle will
return to the Cornfields of Yellow Springs, Ohio this summer
for Dave Chappelle's Summer Camp, a new run of shows
at the Weiriga Pavilion. The new dates are July first, second, third,
August twentieth, twenty first, twenty second, and August twenty seven
to twenty eight, twenty ninth. Tickets available today noon local
time at ticketmaster dot com. The sixth edition of Dave
chappelle Summer Camp celebrates the sixth anniversary of the Cornfield shows.
Remember they started, If I recall correctly during the pandemic
in six years, that sounds about right. No phones, no
smart watches, no accessories, et cetera, et cetera. It's a
Chappelle show. Guests maintain possession of their devices at all times.
It can access them through the event only in designated
phone use areas. All devices will be secured in yonder pouches,
et cetera, et cetera. Anyone seen using a device during
the performance will be escorted out by security. Mark Marin
is beginning to do press for in Memoriam. He plays
a comedian with just six months to live. He's pushed
to connect with the daughter he's never met and finds
himself questioning what truly matters. Mark says, if you're can
make it funny and make a point, you should make
the point. And people on either side will resist the
idea of popsics being part of comedy, but it has
to be. And if you have something to say and
your principles are sound, you should figure out a way
to say it better. If it's funny, just try to
make it funny. Howie Mandel and Brian Posain are in
a new music video. This is a collab between German
band Electric Callbol and The Offspring's Dexter Holland. The two
released a collaborative song called let the Good Times Roll.
In the music video, we see how a Mandel, Brian Posain,
and John Goblekhan Remember that guy. Yeah. A new documentary
is celebrating being able to make fun of the president.
It's called Playing Potus. It's not just about the current president,
it's about making fun of all the presidents. Dana Carvey,
Will Ferrell and Alec Baldwin were at the Tribeca Film
Festival and they look back on their presidential impersonations. There
was also a panel discussion with SNL writers Jim Downey
and Robert Smigel, as well as James Austin Johnson, who
plays President Trump on Saturday Night Live. James shared how
he gets another role. He said, I'm trying to think
of a guy who's been working in retail for like
five decades, in a corner, in an uncomfortable chair somewhere.
He's just doing that to whatever new workers walking past.
I want to play it like it's a man talking
alone in a room, and it'd just be saying all
that stuff. The panel moderator asked James Austin Johnson if
he has some degree of empathy for the president. Johnson said,
If you can't tell how I feel about Donald Trump
from the way that I do him, you're a moron.
He said, people who come to see a perform him
live are sometimes mistakenly under the impression that he loves
Donald Trump, and they wind up walking out. Johnson said,
I think I play his charm a little bit more,
maybe more than Alec Baldwin did. I think I play
the secret weapon that he's deployed, which is that he's
you know, funny, intentionally and unintentionally kind of hilarious guy.
That's not really something I'm looking for when it's time
to vote for somebody, but it's been extremely powerful. Johnson said,
am I fearful of the crazy person who wields the
military and seems to target individuals? Yeah? I hope my
name never comes out of his mouth. Senior letters to
James Austin Johnson. Jim Downey said he sometimes feels like
we did a little too much political stuff on SNL
and pointed out that the cold open wasn't always about
politics or news of the week the way it is
usually these days. Down He said, our cold openings were
only political about a third of the time. That shifted
after we started to get a lot of attention for
political sketches in the mid eighties, and Lauren began to
feel like we were almost like a daily newspaper and
we had an obligation of the public to something political upfront.
Also appearing and playing potus Maya, Rudolph Keegan, Michael Key,
and Chevy Chase. Robbie Hoffman told people, I don't want
to jigs anything, but it's pretty good to be me
right now. She says this current stretch has come after
years of grinding and TV writing in the stand up circuit.
She said this level of success out of the blue
would not feel manageable. What's happening with the heated rivalry boys.
That feels like there's no on wrap. We've been rubbing
up to highway speed for a while. She is thankful
for John mulaney, who directed her first stand up special,
Wake Up. Robbie says, he's like a Knight in shining armor.
He was putiful and going I want everyone to know
about her. It feels like Batman and Robin and my
name's Robbie. Some quick housekeeping. I'll get into this a
little bit more on Friday. Starting on Saturday. For Saturdays
in the summer, I'm going to do deep dives on
single topics. This week's topic will be Shane Gillis, next
week will be Tony Hinchcliff. So among the reasons I
am doing this is search engines are changing the way
they're doing things, and I need to create some content
that has longer to make sure the show shows up
and hopefully that will lead to more downloads and more
people checking out the episodes. Plus, candidly, it's summertime and
I like to pretape the weekends. I've always been honest
about that. So when you start hearing those Saturdays in
the summer, that's what that's all about. I'll get more
into it on Friday. And again, it's an experiment. Much
like Comedy stock Market was and Comedy Survivor was. This
is a different experiment and hopefully you guys will like it.
And if you all hate it, let me know in
the Facebook group Daily Comedy News Podcast Group. I'm not
offended if it sucks and then we won't do it anymore.
But I think it's pretty good. I've recorded three of them.
They came out pretty well. Jeff Foxworthy caught up with
Atlanta magazine. Good placement there. You know, it's interesting. I
have a friendship with Jeff's manager, and I, you know,
I've had Cable Guy in a couple of times. I
don't know. I didn't ask for Jeff this time around.
He's doing some press. I just didn't feel like I
had anything to ask Jeff about. Great guy. I have
nothing but great things to say about him. He's been
very helpful in my career. But you know, I'm slow
to ask for the favors, and I just didn't feel
like using one this time. But Jeff did speak with
Atlanta magazine, and when comedians asked Jeff for your guidance,
he says, nobody has your life experience, nobody has your
point of view. The sooner you let your stand up
be you, the better it'll work. That's just part of
the learning curve, he ads. I think you need to
do it every night for ten years, and all of
a sudden you have a style. His biggest piece of
advice is you need to hang out in comedy clubs
with other comics so you can see how materials perform,
developed and honed, as well as how comics find their
own voice. Jeff himself moved to LA in the early nineties.
He'd watch people like Seinfeld and Stephen Wright. He said,
Stephen Wright in particular, at this really slow and monotone style.
He was really popular, and I wondered if I should
copy it. Comedians would tell Jeff to tone down his accent,
and he said, I tuck my heels in. I'd think,
where I come from, You're the one with the stupid accent.
I thought this was interesting. I've never heard this story.
If Foxworthy was performing in Nashville in the late eighties
and Robert Plant, you know, the singer from led' Zuppa
and La Guy, walked in to watch Jeff Foxworthy. After
the show, Foxworthy sought out Robert Plant. Plants old Foxworthy
he was funny and said people from London would often
make fun of the way that Robert Plant spoke when
Plant was growing up. Fox Worthy said, I kept thinking
as he spoke to me, Holy hell, Robert Plant likes
redneck jokes. Steph Tolev is having a year, so are
the folks at Tom Sigor's YMH Studios. They are teaming
up Steph Tolev's podcast, Steph Infection Well premiere with YMH Studios.
Guys today, which means her career is going to shoot up.
So that's an early hint on the comedy stock market
this week. That's a great crew to be running with.
With Steph Infection, Steph Tolev brings the same no holds
bored and hilarious, honest approach that has made her a
fan favorite on stage. The podcast features conversations with guests
that deliver outrageous stories about the human body, medical mishaps,
intriguing Ailment's health quirks, and more. Late Night reports that
Outside Tonight with Julian Shapiro Bornham will premiere June seventeenth.
That's just one week away. This is YouTube's first direct
attempt to build a late night franchise of its own.
So Ben Gleib is kind of doing his own thing,
but this is YouTube trying to do it. Hosted by
the creator behind the YouTube hits Recess Therapy and Celebrity Substitute,
which I'm sure are amazingly popular and have never once
hit my algorithm. So I'm assuming these are not for
fifty six year old guys recording podcasts in their basement. Again,
I'm not saying it's bad. I'm just saying factually, it
has never once hit my algorithm. Outside tonight, we'll take
the format out of the studio and into public spaces
with celebrity interviews, live music, games, and audience interactions staged
in parks, plazas and street corners. So we'll see that
it's a week from now now. I did look up
on Monday at eleven thirty I looked up to see
how Ben Gleb's second episode did Ben Gleb Episode two
had When I looked at eleven thirty am on Monday,
twenty two thousand views. That is not going to cut it.
Arch Barker will have a new album out on July
seventeenth that is called The Mindfield. You've got that via
Blond Medicine. On the Minefield, arch Barker encourages the audience
reflect on questions insufficiently explored by science, such as what
is consciousness. He also takes on topics like meditation, masturbation,
and traveling over an now to eat mediocre pizza. Track
listings include New Zealand, Travel Tips, Night Boner, and Coffee
Breath Blues. Meanwhile, up in Canada, the Great Outdoors Comedy
Festival annually combines gorgeous green spaces and belly laughs. Once again.
They're doing events in Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Mississauga, Vancouver and Winnipeg.
Now the show's July seventeenth through the nineteenth. In Edmonton
and Winnipeg. Are Pete Davidson, The Not So Canceled Disease,
I'm sorry, Jeffer Curry, Bill Burd just back from the
Red Comedy Festival, Matt Riife, Jordan Jensen, Hassan Minhaj, Robbie Hoffman,
Ronnie Cheng, Jimmy o'yang, and Adam Ray as Doctor Phil.
Then in Halifax in August, you'll get Nicky Glazer, Fortune Fimester,
Steph Tolev, Trevor Wallace, Ryan Long, Andrew Schultz, Lucas Zelnik,
Cam Patterson, who by that time will probably have anoulys
he's not returning INESNL, alongside Matt Rife and Adam Ray.
That's good. Now in Calgary August twenty eighth to the thirtieth,
you'll get Mulaney, Bill Bird, Signatoro Bob the Drag, Queen,
Mittel Lane, Mike Brobiglia, Langston Kerman and Jordan Jensen. Meanwhile,
if you're in Vancouver and you know that you are,
Anthony Justin, Nick, Pete Holmes, Bruce Bruce and Pete Lee
will join Pete Davidson, Bill Bursteftlev Adam Ray, Jeffick Currey
and Matt Rife at Brockton Point in Stanley Park. If
you're in Ontario, you gotta wait till September eleventh. You
guys get Nick Kroll, Fred Armison, Matt Matthews, miss Pat
t J. Miller, Katherine Landford, Michael Costa, Brad Williams, and
Grace O'Malley. Now, if you're not overwhelmed by those names,
they're joined by John Mulaney, Jeffic Curry, Hassan Minhaj, Ronnie Chang,
Adam Ray, Mike Berbiglia and Jordan Jensen. You'll find that
at Mississauga's Erindale Park. And that is your comedy news
for today. Right it's June. You're sharing the show? Are
you telling everybody? Especially Canadians, just be like, Hey, Canadians,
nobody talks about us. This guy did like a whole
three minute segment at the very last item in a show.
So if you're Canadian today, you're going to tell a
friend about the show, and you can tell them they
can follow a show on Spotify where comments are open,
and they're going to click that little button that says
turn on notifications so that they never miss an episode.
You're all going to do that, all right, Canadians. You
guys are trustworthy. You're going to do that for me.
Coming up tonight, the New York Nicks take on the
San Antonio Spurs. That's where I'll be if you're looking
for me. See you tomorrow.
