WEBVTT

00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:13.199
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media. My, oh my, we're having some fun now. Hello,

2
00:00:13.759 --> 00:00:16.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news. I know

3
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:20.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm feeding your feed every ten minutes with stuff. On

4
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:23.519
<v Speaker 1>Monday after noon, just as I was editing this show,

5
00:00:23.559 --> 00:00:25.920
<v Speaker 1>I got a text from my business partner, Mark Francis.

6
00:00:26.039 --> 00:00:28.000
<v Speaker 1>He's like, Kimble's back tomorrow, and I'm like, oh good,

7
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.159
<v Speaker 1>because I have to teach In an hour. ABC announce

8
00:00:32.200 --> 00:00:35.880
<v Speaker 1>that Jimmy Kimmel Alive is returning two nights after thoughtful

9
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:39.759
<v Speaker 1>conversations with parent company Disney. So here's the plan for today.

10
00:00:39.799 --> 00:00:42.560
<v Speaker 1>You're about to get the normal Tuesday episode as I've

11
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:44.759
<v Speaker 1>been doing. I've just been doing the normal stuff as

12
00:00:44.799 --> 00:00:48.840
<v Speaker 1>their own regular episodes. Around noon today, assuming I actually

13
00:00:48.880 --> 00:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>got a chance to do the edit and a new opening,

14
00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.119
<v Speaker 1>I have recorded an hour with Mark Malcoff, you know

15
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.799
<v Speaker 1>him from the Inside Late Night podcast, which is back

16
00:00:56.840 --> 00:00:59.119
<v Speaker 1>today with a new episode. And he's got a book

17
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:02.119
<v Speaker 1>coming out called Love Johnny Carson. So I asked him

18
00:01:02.119 --> 00:01:04.599
<v Speaker 1>on to mainly talk about Carson, but we also said

19
00:01:04.640 --> 00:01:07.439
<v Speaker 1>words like Fallon and Leno and Letterman and oh yeah,

20
00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:10.079
<v Speaker 1>Kimmel and Colbert. We got into that too, so I

21
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:13.519
<v Speaker 1>gotta put that out around noon. Now. Luckily, my spidy

22
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>sense must have been tingling, because at some point I

23
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:17.400
<v Speaker 1>said something like Mark, I just want the audience to

24
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:19.879
<v Speaker 1>know that it's like one pm on Monday as we're

25
00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:22.000
<v Speaker 1>recording this, because I have a feeling the news cycle

26
00:01:22.079 --> 00:01:25.280
<v Speaker 1>will change seven times between us recording this and me

27
00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:29.680
<v Speaker 1>actually publishing it. Johnny Mack was right, it's not dated

28
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:31.959
<v Speaker 1>at all because we really were focused on the carson

29
00:01:32.040 --> 00:01:35.000
<v Speaker 1>of it all. But that's coming up around noon today,

30
00:01:35.159 --> 00:01:37.640
<v Speaker 1>and then I have to catch my breath and I'm

31
00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.680
<v Speaker 1>going to get out a Kimmel bonus episode later today.

32
00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:43.239
<v Speaker 1>I'm also scheduled to record with friend of the show,

33
00:01:43.359 --> 00:01:45.519
<v Speaker 1>Jason Zinneman from The New York Times, so I'll have

34
00:01:45.599 --> 00:01:47.519
<v Speaker 1>to figure out how that slots into all of this,

35
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:50.519
<v Speaker 1>and you know, and then tomorrow on Wednesday, it'll be

36
00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:52.680
<v Speaker 1>super busy because I'll have to tell you what Jimmy

37
00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:56.079
<v Speaker 1>Kimmel said and all that. So plenty, plenty of stuff

38
00:01:56.079 --> 00:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>coming up in this feed. And let me now just

39
00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.959
<v Speaker 1>abruptly cut what I had said before the Kimble news broke,

40
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:05.640
<v Speaker 1>and I was talking about Caleb Heern. Caleb Heron had

41
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:09.080
<v Speaker 1>that new special. This was an HBO Max special. We'll

42
00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>get back to that. He commented on why President Donald

43
00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:15.639
<v Speaker 1>Trump and other conservative Republicans are some of his favorite

44
00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:18.800
<v Speaker 1>straight guys. He says, because they hate gay people so

45
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:21.520
<v Speaker 1>much and they're such and then he used the F word,

46
00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:23.919
<v Speaker 1>not that F word, the other F word. Why did

47
00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:27.199
<v Speaker 1>he go political in a special? Caleb said, because every

48
00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:29.919
<v Speaker 1>day I feel e fing insane. These people in charge

49
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.919
<v Speaker 1>are liars, They're evil, and I'm not scared of these mfors.

50
00:02:33.680 --> 00:02:36.439
<v Speaker 1>These right wing fascist freaks are trying to make a

51
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Christo fascist government in the United States. Right now. I

52
00:02:39.039 --> 00:02:41.800
<v Speaker 1>see right through them. They're weakend pathetic. I feel like

53
00:02:41.919 --> 00:02:44.639
<v Speaker 1>in the national conversation there's a lack of normal people

54
00:02:44.800 --> 00:02:48.039
<v Speaker 1>just telling the efing truth. So I did watch some

55
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:51.240
<v Speaker 1>of the special on Sunday night between the main football

56
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>schedule and Sunday Night football. I was surprised this thing

57
00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:58.759
<v Speaker 1>made HBO Max. Now. I share this thought in the

58
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Facebook group Daily Coming his podcast group. It might just

59
00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.240
<v Speaker 1>be that I live on old Man Mountain and I'm

60
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:08.360
<v Speaker 1>always protective of brands, and I felt like this thing

61
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:11.879
<v Speaker 1>airing on something with an HBO logo anywhere near it

62
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:16.560
<v Speaker 1>it felt very below par. This looks like a YouTube special,

63
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>like you know, Caleb at the Chuckle Hut and just

64
00:03:18.439 --> 00:03:20.439
<v Speaker 1>thrown up on YouTube. It looks like one of those,

65
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>and that to me does not say HBO like if

66
00:03:24.520 --> 00:03:28.360
<v Speaker 1>I look at the recent Mark Maron special, visually, it

67
00:03:28.479 --> 00:03:31.960
<v Speaker 1>looks like something on par with a George Carland special

68
00:03:32.039 --> 00:03:34.439
<v Speaker 1>from thirty years ago. That in my old man brain

69
00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:37.400
<v Speaker 1>is what HBO comedy is. But I guess we live

70
00:03:37.479 --> 00:03:41.520
<v Speaker 1>in this era where between this whole HBOHBO Max, HBO

71
00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:45.039
<v Speaker 1>now Max Max plus, so all that and plus putting

72
00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>the HBO shows on the same platform, on the same

73
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.599
<v Speaker 1>level with Doctor Pimple Popper, They've watered down their brand.

74
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>And I think this is a great example of that

75
00:03:55.319 --> 00:03:58.919
<v Speaker 1>of this to me is not HBO comedy. Apparently it's

76
00:03:59.039 --> 00:04:02.159
<v Speaker 1>HBO Max common And I don't think the civilians understand that.

77
00:04:02.800 --> 00:04:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Surprise they this thing belongs on YouTube or maybe possibly hilarious,

78
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.639
<v Speaker 1>but this is not an HBO special. The material is

79
00:04:11.639 --> 00:04:15.719
<v Speaker 1>also sea level. Cristella Alonso has a Netflix special out today.

80
00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:18.279
<v Speaker 1>She opens her hour with this joke. I'll spoil one

81
00:04:18.360 --> 00:04:19.600
<v Speaker 1>joke for you. I had to make sure I drank

82
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.160
<v Speaker 1>some water room temperature because I hate ice, all right,

83
00:04:22.199 --> 00:04:24.879
<v Speaker 1>So that tells you where this special is coming from.

84
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>Coristella caught up with the La Times. Upper Classy is

85
00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:31.399
<v Speaker 1>the culmination of a trilogy of specials. Cristella explains it

86
00:04:31.439 --> 00:04:34.360
<v Speaker 1>started off as this random idea where I thought, what

87
00:04:34.399 --> 00:04:36.480
<v Speaker 1>if I did a trilogy and showed life as I progressed.

88
00:04:36.519 --> 00:04:38.319
<v Speaker 1>I got the idea because when I had my sitcom,

89
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.279
<v Speaker 1>one of the biggest notes from the network, which was ABC, right,

90
00:04:41.319 --> 00:04:44.199
<v Speaker 1>if I'm remembering quickly, we're mad at them? This week

91
00:04:44.720 --> 00:04:46.360
<v Speaker 1>from the network in the studio was it has to

92
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:48.600
<v Speaker 1>be about a sension. The family has to improve grow.

93
00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>And I always thought, well, what does that mean in

94
00:04:49.839 --> 00:04:52.600
<v Speaker 1>your mind? What do you think making it means? Because

95
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:54.519
<v Speaker 1>I can tell you that for my family, what making

96
00:04:54.519 --> 00:04:56.199
<v Speaker 1>it means was very simple. We have money to pay

97
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:58.480
<v Speaker 1>the bills, but they're like no more and more, Well,

98
00:04:58.480 --> 00:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know the more. I'm still here. So I

99
00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.279
<v Speaker 1>started thinking, what if in a weird way I document

100
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:05.759
<v Speaker 1>the ascension of me coming into my life. Lower Classy

101
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:08.279
<v Speaker 1>really was this is my bile, this is how my

102
00:05:08.319 --> 00:05:09.879
<v Speaker 1>mom was, this is how my family was, this is

103
00:05:09.920 --> 00:05:12.720
<v Speaker 1>how I'm doing I shot the first special in August

104
00:05:12.720 --> 00:05:14.879
<v Speaker 1>of twenty sixteen. Then the election happened, and I was

105
00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:16.800
<v Speaker 1>so depressed because I assume people were better than what

106
00:05:16.839 --> 00:05:18.680
<v Speaker 1>they turned out to be. I actually didn't know what

107
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:20.079
<v Speaker 1>I was going to do, and I decided to take

108
00:05:20.079 --> 00:05:21.920
<v Speaker 1>a break from stand up and everything because I couldn't

109
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:23.800
<v Speaker 1>mentally handle it and I didn't feel like being funny.

110
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:26.879
<v Speaker 1>I didn't feel like being anything she talks about middle classy.

111
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:28.600
<v Speaker 1>I started making a list of things that were different

112
00:05:28.639 --> 00:05:30.480
<v Speaker 1>from me, and I wrote health insurance, and that's when

113
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.680
<v Speaker 1>I realized I didn't know health insurance work. That's kind

114
00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:35.839
<v Speaker 1>of how middle classy started. Upper classy has a play

115
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:37.519
<v Speaker 1>to it in two ways. Look at how rich I am.

116
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:38.959
<v Speaker 1>You didn't think I was gonna be that rich because

117
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:40.399
<v Speaker 1>of the story that I share. But also look at

118
00:05:40.399 --> 00:05:43.639
<v Speaker 1>the persona my family made me to be. Bert Kreischer

119
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:46.800
<v Speaker 1>is going to star in a comedy movie called Homecoming.

120
00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:51.600
<v Speaker 1>In Homecoming, we follow divorced dad Bert. The character Bert

121
00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.240
<v Speaker 1>attends his college homecoming and an attempt to reconnect with

122
00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:57.279
<v Speaker 1>his eldest daughter, who attends is Alma matter. This sounds

123
00:05:57.279 --> 00:05:59.800
<v Speaker 1>like an Adam Saylor movie so far. When Bert arrives

124
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:02.480
<v Speaker 1>on campus, he realizes his kids have parent trapped him

125
00:06:02.519 --> 00:06:05.680
<v Speaker 1>with his ex wife. From there, the weekend's focus turns

126
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>to competition to boscherus Mayhem, and perhaps a chance to

127
00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:12.480
<v Speaker 1>reunite his family. That actually doesn't sound horrible, but I'm

128
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of surprised that doesn't star Adam Sandler and say

129
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:18.839
<v Speaker 1>Sonny Sandler. Speaking of Adam Sandler, he was at the

130
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Buffalo Sabers game before performing his comedy act. He met

131
00:06:23.360 --> 00:06:26.079
<v Speaker 1>some members of the Sabers. The team boasted on social

132
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.639
<v Speaker 1>media do the guys think shampoo is better or conditioner?

133
00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:32.240
<v Speaker 1>They also posted a Sabers GoAhead jersey with Gilmour on

134
00:06:32.279 --> 00:06:35.399
<v Speaker 1>the back and a bandaged jersey with Sandman on the back.

135
00:06:36.040 --> 00:06:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Syracuse dot Com went to see an Adam Sandler comedy show.

136
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:42.040
<v Speaker 1>Adam Sandler, as you know, is a fine dramatic actor.

137
00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:45.120
<v Speaker 1>He made several good movies, including uncut gems in the

138
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:47.600
<v Speaker 1>Spaceman movie, in the Basketball One, and a lot of

139
00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:51.160
<v Speaker 1>terrible movies. Syracuse dot com tells us. On stage, dramatic

140
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:54.040
<v Speaker 1>actor Adam Sandler told the audience he loves Syracuse and

141
00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:55.680
<v Speaker 1>share that he and his crew plan a head to

142
00:06:55.759 --> 00:06:58.319
<v Speaker 1>Dinosaur barbecue after the show. Earlier in the day, he

143
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:01.040
<v Speaker 1>had visited the Carmelo Anthony Bastball Center, where he played

144
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:03.360
<v Speaker 1>pick up basketball with the members of the SU men's

145
00:07:03.360 --> 00:07:06.360
<v Speaker 1>and women's basketball team. Sandler was dressed in his classic

146
00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:11.480
<v Speaker 1>oversized style, bright red track pants and a baggy pullover. Wow,

147
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:14.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm actually dressed better than Adam Sandler. I have a

148
00:07:14.279 --> 00:07:18.240
<v Speaker 1>properly sized gray sweatshirt on that I got in California,

149
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:21.560
<v Speaker 1>and my often worn gray sweatpants, and of course my

150
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:26.000
<v Speaker 1>neon blue like Miami Dolphins blue. Hocus, those are sneakers.

151
00:07:26.519 --> 00:07:29.959
<v Speaker 1>I digress. At one point, the great dramatic actor Adam

152
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.279
<v Speaker 1>Saandlor invited audience members up to the stage so we

153
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:36.040
<v Speaker 1>could sing totally unstrue songs about them. Special guests Rob

154
00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:39.959
<v Speaker 1>Schneider and Kevin Neelan were the openers. Sunny Cortland alumnus

155
00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Kevin James got one of the biggest ovations when walked

156
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:47.600
<v Speaker 1>on stage wearing a Syracuse lacrosse shirt. The local Syracusians

157
00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:51.040
<v Speaker 1>is that what you're called enjoy that, Syracuse dot Com

158
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:52.879
<v Speaker 1>tells us. By the end of the night, Syracuse has

159
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:55.279
<v Speaker 1>gotten more than a comedy performance. It was an evening

160
00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:58.759
<v Speaker 1>of laughter, nostalgia, and music, tied together with enough local

161
00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:01.240
<v Speaker 1>shoutouts to make the crowd feel like part of the act.

162
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:05.279
<v Speaker 1>John almost forgot to do the Toronto Comedy Festival again.

163
00:08:05.639 --> 00:08:08.639
<v Speaker 1>Why don't you put Toronto in the scripts? John, because

164
00:08:08.720 --> 00:08:12.800
<v Speaker 1>John has been recording a lot of Jimmy Kimmel related stuff.

165
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.399
<v Speaker 1>I have not had a minute to myself since last Monday.

166
00:08:16.439 --> 00:08:19.040
<v Speaker 1>Knock a playing. I'm just telling you why I don't

167
00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:21.680
<v Speaker 1>have this in the script. But I didn't forget. I

168
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>am having a lot of fun doing this. I'm pumping

169
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:26.519
<v Speaker 1>out a lot of content for good reason or for

170
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.519
<v Speaker 1>bad reason actually, but just having a lot of fun. Okay,

171
00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:35.360
<v Speaker 1>today is September twenty third. As I mentioned yesterday that

172
00:08:35.639 --> 00:08:38.200
<v Speaker 1>the new owners haven't done a great job with this website. Okay,

173
00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:42.039
<v Speaker 1>here we go, eight o'clock tonight. Matthew Brissard. He was

174
00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:43.679
<v Speaker 1>a guest on this show and I like him a lot.

175
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:47.480
<v Speaker 1>He's fantastic. He's at the Bloor Blor Comedy Bar at

176
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:50.320
<v Speaker 1>eight Sabrina Wu at eight thirty of the Dan Firth

177
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Comedy Bar. One of the things I like about the

178
00:08:52.000 --> 00:08:56.600
<v Speaker 1>Toronto Comedy Festival, it's mostly bar scenes and you can hop.

179
00:08:57.159 --> 00:08:58.879
<v Speaker 1>I haven't checked, and I should know this. You know,

180
00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:01.879
<v Speaker 1>I only host the program. In the past they would

181
00:09:01.919 --> 00:09:03.679
<v Speaker 1>have like a bar hopper pass where you could just

182
00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:05.360
<v Speaker 1>go to a bunch of shows. Now I had media

183
00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:08.279
<v Speaker 1>credentials because I'm fancy, but it was a really good

184
00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:10.600
<v Speaker 1>deal and it's a great way to do the festival.

185
00:09:11.039 --> 00:09:13.320
<v Speaker 1>It's pretty quiet on a Tuesday that there's a couple

186
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:16.679
<v Speaker 1>other things that you haven't heard of. That's what's happening

187
00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:20.279
<v Speaker 1>there tonight. If he needs something to watch on the

188
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:23.799
<v Speaker 1>eight hundred Pound Guerrillas YouTube channel, Chris Gethard's The Father

189
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:26.440
<v Speaker 1>and the Son. Got a lot of TV news that

190
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:27.960
<v Speaker 1>I didn't get to, none of it having to do

191
00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:31.720
<v Speaker 1>with late night. Doctor Cox is back. John c McGinley

192
00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.440
<v Speaker 1>is joining the Scrubs revival, so I think they have

193
00:09:35.519 --> 00:09:37.600
<v Speaker 1>everybody now. I don't know if we have the Todd.

194
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:39.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if the Todd is back, but we've

195
00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.960
<v Speaker 1>got JD and Turk Elliot's back. Haven't heard anything about

196
00:09:44.039 --> 00:09:46.159
<v Speaker 1>Neil Flynn as the janitor. I don't think. I mean,

197
00:09:46.200 --> 00:09:49.519
<v Speaker 1>Neil's got that modern family money right, he might not

198
00:09:49.639 --> 00:09:52.919
<v Speaker 1>need to work anymore. Neil Flynn might have like secret cash,

199
00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:56.120
<v Speaker 1>but I could see Neil Flynn showing up Carla's back,

200
00:09:56.840 --> 00:10:00.519
<v Speaker 1>and Doctor Kelso was played by Ken Jenkins Ken eighty

201
00:10:00.600 --> 00:10:02.559
<v Speaker 1>five years old now, so it wouldn't make any sense

202
00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:03.879
<v Speaker 1>for him to actually be on the show. But I

203
00:10:03.879 --> 00:10:05.840
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be surprised if we check in with him at

204
00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:08.879
<v Speaker 1>one point. And the Todd. The Todd appears in one

205
00:10:08.960 --> 00:10:12.159
<v Speaker 1>hundred and twenty six episodes of Scrubs. Wow, we'll see

206
00:10:12.159 --> 00:10:16.559
<v Speaker 1>if he turns up. The paper is going to Proper NBC. Now.

207
00:10:16.559 --> 00:10:19.759
<v Speaker 1>I've been watching this thing. People keep asking about it.

208
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:24.840
<v Speaker 1>It's not funny, but it's watchable. The main two characters

209
00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.840
<v Speaker 1>are likable. The secondary cast I think is actually subpar,

210
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:33.080
<v Speaker 1>but the main two are charismatic enough that they're carrying

211
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:37.000
<v Speaker 1>this show and it's something to have on while you're

212
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:42.240
<v Speaker 1>playing on your phone, prepping your podcast, killing time until

213
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Thursday night football starts. It's like, I think I like it.

214
00:10:46.039 --> 00:10:48.200
<v Speaker 1>I definitely don't love it. If it got canceled, I

215
00:10:48.240 --> 00:10:50.279
<v Speaker 1>would go on with my day. I guess what I'm

216
00:10:50.279 --> 00:10:52.639
<v Speaker 1>saying is it's better than I initially thought, but it

217
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:55.039
<v Speaker 1>is not funny. But anyway, it's going to air on

218
00:10:55.120 --> 00:11:01.120
<v Speaker 1>Proper NBC. Lisa Katz, who's the president of Scripted Programming Entertainment,

219
00:11:01.159 --> 00:11:02.879
<v Speaker 1>said in a statement, knowing how much The Office was

220
00:11:02.919 --> 00:11:05.200
<v Speaker 1>beloved by a broadcast audience when it aired on NBC,

221
00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:08.679
<v Speaker 1>we wanted to give the paper a similar opportunity to connect.

222
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:10.799
<v Speaker 1>Then you should have put it on NBC in the

223
00:11:10.840 --> 00:11:12.840
<v Speaker 1>first place. One of the strengths of our company is

224
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:15.639
<v Speaker 1>meeting fans where they are by delivering shows across multiple

225
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:19.600
<v Speaker 1>platforms to maximize exposure and engagement. Translation, Oh, we saw

226
00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:21.159
<v Speaker 1>that people didn't hate this, so we're going to give

227
00:11:21.159 --> 00:11:23.919
<v Speaker 1>it a shot on NBC proper. The Paper will be

228
00:11:23.960 --> 00:11:28.279
<v Speaker 1>on NBC Monday nights. It'll be paired with Saint Dennis Medical.

229
00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:30.799
<v Speaker 1>I thought that was over. That's still going huh, all right,

230
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.720
<v Speaker 1>maybe I'll check that show out too. Rain Wilson was

231
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:36.519
<v Speaker 1>on the Last Laugh podcast. Is Dwight going to show

232
00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:39.000
<v Speaker 1>up on the Paper? Rain said, I don't think so.

233
00:11:39.080 --> 00:11:41.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean the paper set in Toledo and it's a newspaper.

234
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:43.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't know why Dwight from Lakwana County would be

235
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:46.759
<v Speaker 1>visiting Toledo. The answer would be, Rain Wilson needs a paycheck.

236
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:48.879
<v Speaker 1>That would be the answer. So you're telling me, Rain Wilson,

237
00:11:48.879 --> 00:11:51.559
<v Speaker 1>you don't need a paycheck. Let me ask you a

238
00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:54.000
<v Speaker 1>really difficult question. Hey, Rain, we want to make you

239
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:56.080
<v Speaker 1>the co lead of the paper. Don't worry about why

240
00:11:56.120 --> 00:11:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Dwight is wearing a newspaper. But we're going to give

241
00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:00.679
<v Speaker 1>you steady work. Now, what's your answer. I'm just curious.

242
00:12:00.840 --> 00:12:03.080
<v Speaker 1>The answer might be no. The last leaft set I'm

243
00:12:03.080 --> 00:12:05.200
<v Speaker 1>sure they could come up with a reason, Rain Wilson said,

244
00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:08.080
<v Speaker 1>You're right, never say never. That certainly could happen. And yeah,

245
00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it would be fun. I mean, one thing

246
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:11.399
<v Speaker 1>I've always said to them is can we do a movie?

247
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:13.519
<v Speaker 1>Wouldn't that be do a two hour movie? We could

248
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:15.120
<v Speaker 1>get like a billion people to watch a two hour

249
00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:18.440
<v Speaker 1>office movie. The producers, Greg Daniels, they don't think of

250
00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:20.399
<v Speaker 1>it in those terms. They think of it financially, like

251
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.200
<v Speaker 1>a movie will make X amount of dollars that will

252
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:23.559
<v Speaker 1>be on a streamer. It's a lot of work. It's

253
00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:25.279
<v Speaker 1>much more lucrative to have a show that goes year

254
00:12:25.279 --> 00:12:27.000
<v Speaker 1>after year after year. But I think it would be

255
00:12:27.039 --> 00:12:28.480
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fun, and I think you get most

256
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:32.240
<v Speaker 1>of the main cast to participate. Eric Rayhill plays Travis

257
00:12:32.360 --> 00:12:35.080
<v Speaker 1>on the paper, he said. Right after I got signed,

258
00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:37.279
<v Speaker 1>my agent sent my stuff to Greg Daniels, who would

259
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:38.799
<v Speaker 1>come in for an interview in the winter of twenty

260
00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:40.639
<v Speaker 1>twenty three for a writer role. I thought it went well.

261
00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:42.080
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know. I called my parents like, I think

262
00:12:42.120 --> 00:12:43.159
<v Speaker 1>I have a good vibe from this, but then I

263
00:12:43.159 --> 00:12:45.639
<v Speaker 1>didn't hear anything for five months. Yeah, welcome to getting

264
00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:48.440
<v Speaker 1>hired in America. So I took a job at Nordstrom

265
00:12:48.519 --> 00:12:50.960
<v Speaker 1>Corporate and right after I started, I got this call

266
00:12:50.960 --> 00:12:52.080
<v Speaker 1>in April and they were like, we want you to

267
00:12:52.120 --> 00:12:53.840
<v Speaker 1>be a writer and we'll figure out the acting. But

268
00:12:53.879 --> 00:12:56.360
<v Speaker 1>I hadn't told anyone at Nordstrom I did comedy. The

269
00:12:56.360 --> 00:12:58.279
<v Speaker 1>writer's room started on a Monday. I found out. I

270
00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:00.639
<v Speaker 1>got it on a Friday afternoon, up a meeting with

271
00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:02.600
<v Speaker 1>the north Strom boss at nine am, and Monday it

272
00:13:02.639 --> 00:13:04.519
<v Speaker 1>was rough. I felt bad. I just started and I

273
00:13:04.559 --> 00:13:06.559
<v Speaker 1>was like, Hey, this is crazy, but I'm quitting immediately,

274
00:13:06.600 --> 00:13:07.919
<v Speaker 1>and I can't tell you what I'm working on because

275
00:13:07.960 --> 00:13:10.200
<v Speaker 1>of an NBA. But I'm out. They were nice. My

276
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:12.080
<v Speaker 1>boss was a little blindside and said, we wish we

277
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:14.440
<v Speaker 1>would have told us she did comedy. But then later

278
00:13:14.559 --> 00:13:16.240
<v Speaker 1>was like I'm glad you're doing something you believe in.

279
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:18.600
<v Speaker 1>Great company, by the way, and then at eleven am

280
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:22.279
<v Speaker 1>I joined the Zoom for the Writer's Room. Natasha Leone

281
00:13:22.279 --> 00:13:24.600
<v Speaker 1>and Matt Berry are going to co create and star

282
00:13:24.799 --> 00:13:28.600
<v Speaker 1>in the new retro comedy adventure series Force and Majure

283
00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:32.039
<v Speaker 1>for UK Sky Network. I Love Matt Barry. The show

284
00:13:32.120 --> 00:13:35.080
<v Speaker 1>features a British art expert in an American mercenary teaming

285
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:38.600
<v Speaker 1>up against international villains. Sky describes the show as a

286
00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:41.960
<v Speaker 1>retro infuse playfully, I referent take on the classic TV

287
00:13:42.080 --> 00:13:47.039
<v Speaker 1>action adventure detective genre in Force and Majure. British art

288
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:51.519
<v Speaker 1>expert Thomas Force love It, Matt Barry and American mercenary

289
00:13:51.720 --> 00:13:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Jennifer Majore Natasha Leote. I love this. Back in the

290
00:13:57.399 --> 00:14:00.440
<v Speaker 1>serious days, we used to play this game. I would

291
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:03.039
<v Speaker 1>travel the country with Mark Says, I was our on

292
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:06.600
<v Speaker 1>air talent and we would just play. Either we would

293
00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:10.000
<v Speaker 1>either make up air Bud movies my fair We came

294
00:14:10.080 --> 00:14:12.879
<v Speaker 1>up with was Paw position, which would have had Airbud

295
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.559
<v Speaker 1>the Golden Retriever driving in a NASCAR race. How that

296
00:14:16.559 --> 00:14:19.360
<v Speaker 1>would have worked? Who cares? It's an Airbud movie? And

297
00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:22.600
<v Speaker 1>I remember we used to have a show called Side Out,

298
00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.639
<v Speaker 1>which would have been about a gay volleyball player and

299
00:14:26.679 --> 00:14:30.120
<v Speaker 1>his name was something like James side Johnson something like that,

300
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:33.159
<v Speaker 1>because that's what NBC would name show. So I love that.

301
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:36.200
<v Speaker 1>Force and Majure is about Thomas Force and Jennifer Majure.

302
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:39.799
<v Speaker 1>Love it. The pair are recruited by an eccentric, justice

303
00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:44.120
<v Speaker 1>obsessed billionaire named Amanda Daventry and find themselves tesked with

304
00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:47.639
<v Speaker 1>defeating the evil plans of international villains operating in locations

305
00:14:47.639 --> 00:14:50.879
<v Speaker 1>across Europe. But as Force and Majure team up to

306
00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:53.519
<v Speaker 1>defeat the forces of evil, they must also work together

307
00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:56.639
<v Speaker 1>to escape the clutches of Amanda, a billionaire woman who

308
00:14:56.639 --> 00:14:59.279
<v Speaker 1>may not be telling them the whole story. Force and

309
00:14:59.320 --> 00:15:02.360
<v Speaker 1>Majure will be s to us buyers. You can ingest

310
00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:05.600
<v Speaker 1>that into my veins. Somewhere on the internet. You should

311
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:08.200
<v Speaker 1>watch Toast of London and Toast of la Let me

312
00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:10.600
<v Speaker 1>just pull up just Watch and see if that's available anywhere.

313
00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:12.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you know about Just watch? And I do this

314
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:15.600
<v Speaker 1>every time I mentioned just watch. It is a website

315
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:18.320
<v Speaker 1>that will tell you where these things are. Let's see

316
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:21.440
<v Speaker 1>Toast of London, one of my favorites. It's right now

317
00:15:21.480 --> 00:15:24.679
<v Speaker 1>on britz Box if you have BritBox. Mitchell and Webb's

318
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:27.360
<v Speaker 1>return doing well Mitchell and Webb are Not Helping has

319
00:15:27.399 --> 00:15:30.919
<v Speaker 1>been seen by nearly two million viewers, making it UK's

320
00:15:31.000 --> 00:15:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Channel four's biggest new comedy launched since twenty eighteen. The

321
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:39.080
<v Speaker 1>opening episode, which launched September fifth at ten pm, hold

322
00:15:39.120 --> 00:15:42.519
<v Speaker 1>in one point eight million viewers across linear and quote

323
00:15:42.559 --> 00:15:45.840
<v Speaker 1>big screen streaming. In its first seven days got a

324
00:15:45.879 --> 00:15:50.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty nine share among sixteen to thirty fours. Charlie Perkins

325
00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:52.360
<v Speaker 1>is the head of Comedy at Channel four, and Charlie

326
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:55.039
<v Speaker 1>says they said sketch was dead, but it's great to

327
00:15:55.039 --> 00:15:57.480
<v Speaker 1>see a resurrection underway with Mitchell and Webb are not

328
00:15:57.519 --> 00:16:01.039
<v Speaker 1>helping in these increasingly serious time It's no surprise people

329
00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:02.799
<v Speaker 1>turn to comedy for comfort and the release you can

330
00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:05.600
<v Speaker 1>only get from watching a dog explode because it's seen

331
00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:08.759
<v Speaker 1>in expensive suitcase. David Mitchell said, I've never been worried

332
00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:11.600
<v Speaker 1>about the future of comedy really, whether people make sketch

333
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:13.240
<v Speaker 1>shows or not. The future of the sketch show is

334
00:16:13.240 --> 00:16:15.080
<v Speaker 1>indw forbid and still is, but I think it's general

335
00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:16.960
<v Speaker 1>people of comedy in this country more than anywhere in

336
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.200
<v Speaker 1>the world. It's why comedies get so savage by the

337
00:16:19.240 --> 00:16:21.360
<v Speaker 1>media when they don't work, because people really care and

338
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:23.600
<v Speaker 1>they're offended by comedy being bad or not to their taste.

339
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:25.799
<v Speaker 1>If a drama doesn't work, they just move on. But

340
00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:29.919
<v Speaker 1>we're passionate about comedy. And the Golden Globes is getting

341
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:34.600
<v Speaker 1>a companion TV special. This called Golden Eve. Well air

342
00:16:34.759 --> 00:16:38.159
<v Speaker 1>Thursday January eight, three days before the Golden Globes, which

343
00:16:38.360 --> 00:16:41.600
<v Speaker 1>this year once again hosted by Nicky Glazer. I haven't

344
00:16:41.639 --> 00:16:43.200
<v Speaker 1>heard from her in a while. She was all over

345
00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:45.320
<v Speaker 1>the news for the first half of the year. The

346
00:16:45.399 --> 00:16:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Golden Eve will honor recipients of the Cecil bs Mill

347
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:52.200
<v Speaker 1>Award and the Carol Burnett Award. Oh one more, I see.

348
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:53.840
<v Speaker 1>This is all the stuff I didn't get to because

349
00:16:53.879 --> 00:16:57.559
<v Speaker 1>of the kibbl Do you like friends? Well? Central Perk

350
00:16:57.799 --> 00:17:01.039
<v Speaker 1>is opening a permanent location in New York's Times Square.

351
00:17:01.519 --> 00:17:05.240
<v Speaker 1>This is so if you are from New York, or

352
00:17:05.240 --> 00:17:07.000
<v Speaker 1>if you work at New York, you don't go to

353
00:17:07.079 --> 00:17:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Times Square ever. I used to have to walk through

354
00:17:09.279 --> 00:17:11.119
<v Speaker 1>Time Square. It was the quickest way to get to work.

355
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:13.640
<v Speaker 1>And it's a nightmare. I get. If you're not from

356
00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:15.480
<v Speaker 1>New York City, I get it. I get it's really

357
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:18.920
<v Speaker 1>cool to stand there and look at all the electronic

358
00:17:18.960 --> 00:17:21.559
<v Speaker 1>billboards and the big space, and you've heard of Times

359
00:17:21.599 --> 00:17:23.839
<v Speaker 1>Square and you've heard of the New Year's Ball drop.

360
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:25.839
<v Speaker 1>I get it. But you're from New York, you don't

361
00:17:25.839 --> 00:17:27.519
<v Speaker 1>go there. And then you see things like the Bubba

362
00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:30.319
<v Speaker 1>Gump Shrimp Store and you're like, who goes there? So

363
00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:32.039
<v Speaker 1>who goes there? Are the tourists, and the tourists are

364
00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:34.319
<v Speaker 1>going to be excited that Central Perk is opening a

365
00:17:34.319 --> 00:17:38.039
<v Speaker 1>permanent location in New York's Times Square. The Coffee House

366
00:17:38.119 --> 00:17:41.119
<v Speaker 1>is a quote modern day version of the place the

367
00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:44.960
<v Speaker 1>Friends used to hang out at. Central Perk promises artisanal

368
00:17:45.000 --> 00:17:50.319
<v Speaker 1>coffee drinks meaning nine dollars coffees, and Friends inspired food items.

369
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:52.960
<v Speaker 1>Central Perk will include a replica of the Orange Sofa,

370
00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:56.319
<v Speaker 1>so enjoy standing online for your five second insta merchandise

371
00:17:56.440 --> 00:18:00.640

372
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:02.920
<v Speaker 1>this on forty seventh and seventh. It is the second

373
00:18:02.920 --> 00:18:06.319
<v Speaker 1>permanent outpost for Central Perk. There's one in Boston. And

374

377
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:16.559
<v Speaker 1>no idea what's happening anymore. Just keep checking the feed,

378
00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:18.559
<v Speaker 1>like once an hour ago, did he put out an episode?

379
00:18:18.640 --> 00:18:19.519
<v Speaker 1>And maybe I did
