Speaker 1: Caloroga Shark Media. Hey there, I'm Johnny Mack with your
Speaker 1: daily comedy news. Take a minute here. We'll walk through
Speaker 1: the Oscars kind of slowly, kind of lower energy than
Speaker 1: my normal delivery. It's about nine to thirty on Sunday night.
Speaker 1: My body feels like it's later because I've been watching
Speaker 1: this thing for two and a half hours and taking
Speaker 1: a break here while the Knicks are in halftime. I
Speaker 1: also have the baseball game on. I have three things
Speaker 1: going on TV, so let's talk about the Oscars. And
Speaker 1: I really want to break down Conan's monologue from a
Speaker 1: comedy standpoint. My headline here at nine point thirty. Unless
Speaker 1: something goes sideways, you never know somebody might slap someone.
Speaker 1: What a well produced Oscars. I'm really really impressed by
Speaker 1: this broadcast. I'm a production snob among a comedy snob
Speaker 1: and a star trek snob and all the other things I snob.
Speaker 1: But this is really well produced.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: We start with a fun cold open Conan O'Brien dressed
Speaker 1: as Aunt Glass from Weapons. I'll stop there. I kept
Speaker 1: notes as the show went along, and I was wondering,
Speaker 1: have Normy's seen these movies and I'm not shading any
Speaker 1: of the movies. I just don't know if any of
Speaker 1: these cut through. I personally didn't know the Aunt Gladys reference.
Speaker 1: Maybe everyone else does. My wife came by. She didn't
Speaker 1: want to watch the Oscars because she didn't know any
Speaker 1: of the movies. My daughter, who's a theater kid and
Speaker 1: who performed off off Broadway earlier in the day, she
Speaker 1: wasn't watching because she didn't know the movies. So I
Speaker 1: thought that was interesting. Anyway, Coda comes out dresses Aunt
Speaker 1: Gladys from Weapons. He runs through various Oscar nominated scenes,
Speaker 1: and again, I wonder if your average American knew what
Speaker 1: they were referencing. There doesn't mean it's bad. It was
Speaker 1: still high energy and a lot of fun. Conan was
Speaker 1: dressed in an orange wig and halface makeup, just like
Speaker 1: the villain from Weapons. He goes on to invade a
Speaker 1: ping pong scene from Marty Supreme. I think that cut
Speaker 1: through to the mainstream interrupts the play from Hamnet. I
Speaker 1: think a lot of people don't even know what Hamnet
Speaker 1: is because of the weird name. Rode Shutgun with Benisio
Speaker 1: del Toreo on one battle after another. That's one of
Speaker 1: the few films I did see because it was streamed
Speaker 1: on Netflix question Mark. I became animated for a K
Speaker 1: pop demon Hunter is a bit okay fine, and then
Speaker 1: asked to be lett inside the Duke joint from Sinners.
Speaker 1: All Right, that one I think landed as well. A lot,
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. Okay, Let's break down the monologue
Speaker 1: here Conan, as I shared in the Facebook group Daily
Speaker 1: Comedy News Podcast Group, you want a professional hosting these things,
Speaker 1: and I think Conan nailed it. Now Here he jokes
Speaker 1: that he's going to be the last human host.
Speaker 3: I am Conan O'Brien, and I'm honored to be the
Speaker 3: last human host of the Academy Award.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, next year it's going to be a way mow
Speaker 3: in a tous so check that out.
Speaker 1: And I was surprised Conan got somewhat political. Maybe not
Speaker 1: by name, but he got the points in several times.
Speaker 1: Here's sort of a political joke.
Speaker 3: No, it's great to be back hosting the Oscars. Last
Speaker 3: year when I hosted Los Angeles was on fire, but
Speaker 3: this year everything's going great.
Speaker 1: Here at a minute five and was monolog he had
Speaker 1: a good Challa made joke.
Speaker 3: Security is extremely tight tonight. I just got to mention that, Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm told there's concerns about attacks from both the opera
Speaker 3: and ballet communities.
Speaker 2: They're just magg you left out jazz.
Speaker 3: I should warn you tonight could get political, okay, and
Speaker 3: if that makes you uncomfortable, there's an alternate oscars being
Speaker 3: hosted by Kid Rock.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's at the Dave and Busters down the street.
Speaker 1: At that point I wrote down that Conan immediately had
Speaker 1: his fastball. Now last year it took him a minute
Speaker 1: to find it, but he came out throwing heat this week,
Speaker 1: and then he did get it political a few more times.
Speaker 1: This joke really didn't get much of a reaction.
Speaker 3: In Hamnett, William Shakespeare's wife Agnes gives birth by herself
Speaker 3: in the woods. Whereas we call that here in America
Speaker 3: affordable healthcare.
Speaker 2: Now you're real for you, huh?
Speaker 3: All Right?
Speaker 1: As we dive deeper into the art of a monologue,
Speaker 1: pay attention to the tag on this joke about F
Speaker 1: one F one.
Speaker 2: I loved F one a popcorn movie. It was great.
Speaker 2: F one is terrific. Yeah. F one is up for
Speaker 2: Best Picture.
Speaker 3: It's the story of a race car driver who finally
Speaker 3: wins after deciding to go faster.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 3: F one received four nominations. F one did so well,
Speaker 3: they're making a sequel, caps lock. Some of these I
Speaker 3: do for myself.
Speaker 1: This next one here, involving Rose Byrne, is what we
Speaker 1: call a joke.
Speaker 2: Joke.
Speaker 3: I was in a movie this year. Yeah, I was
Speaker 3: in a movie with the lovely Roseburn. My co star
Speaker 3: Rose byrn is nominated for Best Actress. And if I
Speaker 3: had legs, i'd kick you.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's hard to act in a scene with someone
Speaker 3: you've always had a massive crush on.
Speaker 2: But Rose, you did a fantastic job.
Speaker 1: I don't want to spoil this next one, but I
Speaker 1: actually wrote down wow about this one.
Speaker 3: It's the first time since twenty twelve, first time since
Speaker 3: twenty twelve that there are no British actors nominated for
Speaker 3: Best Actor or Best Actress. Yeah, British spokesperson said, yeah,
Speaker 3: well at least we arrest our pedophiles.
Speaker 2: So you got that going.
Speaker 1: So Conan was following the basic and so and so
Speaker 1: was here, Like I don't know if it was me
Speaker 1: and Mike Chisholm from the Letterman podcast was there, I'd
Speaker 1: be like you know, Mike for the Letterman podcast is here,
Speaker 1: and then I'd say something about him being Canadian or
Speaker 1: something basic. And that was what Conan was doing as
Speaker 1: he was checking and driving.
Speaker 2: Leonardo DiCaprio was here, sir, good to see you. I
Speaker 2: about you.
Speaker 3: He's the star of so many movies and the king
Speaker 3: of memes.
Speaker 2: He's the king of memes. This guy.
Speaker 3: Let's make a new meme with Leo right now. That
Speaker 3: feeling when you didn't agree to this, they'll pull that
Speaker 3: up in editing.
Speaker 2: Live.
Speaker 1: Here is a good example of the comedy rule of three.
Speaker 1: This is not the most hilarious joke. It's pretty basic,
Speaker 1: but it's the one two three rule of comedy.
Speaker 3: Tonight's oscars are being watched by more than a billion
Speaker 3: people around the world.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's let's say hi to some of them. If
Speaker 2: you're watching from Spain, Oh.
Speaker 3: That's so, I corner Brians. If you're seeing us in Argentina, Ola,
Speaker 3: so I called Rabrian. Yes, from and to our friends
Speaker 3: in Los Angeles, Ola, so.
Speaker 2: I called Lebrian.
Speaker 1: And then Conan did get pretty serious for about a minute.
Speaker 1: Let's let this rule.
Speaker 3: If I can be serious for just a moment, everyone
Speaker 3: watching right now around the world is all too aware
Speaker 3: that these are very chaotic, frightening times. Okay, it's at
Speaker 3: moments like these that I believe that the Oscars are
Speaker 3: particularly resonant.
Speaker 2: Check it out.
Speaker 3: Thirty one countries across six continents are represented this evening,
Speaker 3: and every film, every film, yeah, every film we salute,
Speaker 3: is the product of thousands of people speaking different languages,
Speaker 3: working hard to make something of beauty. We pay tribute tonight,
Speaker 3: not just a film, but to the ideals of global artistry, collaboration, patience, resilience,
Speaker 3: and that rarest of qualities today, optimism.
Speaker 2: So let us please celebrate. Let us celebrate.
Speaker 3: Let us celebrate not because we think all as well,
Speaker 3: but because we work and hope for better in the
Speaker 3: days ahead.
Speaker 1: You're announcer Matt Berry. They said he was doing it
Speaker 1: from London. I shot a note to a friend who's
Speaker 1: a broadcaster and I'm like, remember, we used to have
Speaker 1: to like order specific phone lines three weeks in advance,
Speaker 1: and now we're like just cowboying. The Oscars. Announcer sitting
Speaker 1: at a booth in London, and the Oscars are in
Speaker 1: la So that's eight time zones. So no matter how
Speaker 1: good your tick. The speed of light is still a thing.
Speaker 1: If you do a broadcast from LA to London, there
Speaker 1: is a delay. There's nothing you can do about that.
Speaker 1: I don't care how good your tech is. So I'm
Speaker 1: impressed they did that. So Matt Berry just I don't know.
Speaker 1: He was like, sure, I'll do it, but I'm not
Speaker 1: going to LA for that. I mean kind of fascinating,
Speaker 1: but anyway, let's listen to Matt Berry with his wonderful pronunciations.
Speaker 1: The set up here as Conan is fantasizing about winning
Speaker 1: an Academy Award. The nominees for Best Achievement ah Antonio Bendadras.
Speaker 2: Then he's done with the Benzel Washington, Clenn Close.
Speaker 1: And Conan O'Brian handel. Winner is Conan O'Brian. We come
Speaker 1: back from the first break. Conan had a couple more jokes.
Speaker 3: Welcome back, We're coming to you live from that has
Speaker 3: a small penis theater.
Speaker 2: Let's see him put his name in front of that.
Speaker 1: I was really happy watching the non stars win, like
Speaker 1: the animators of the costume people like I just let
Speaker 1: them have their moment. I hate when they play people off. Look,
Speaker 1: what are we racing to get to the eleven o'clock news,
Speaker 1: who gears Just let it roll, you know, within reason.
Speaker 1: If somebody goes ridiculously long, okay, play them off, but
Speaker 1: let people have their moment. Conan then starts to disappear.
Speaker 1: That's not a dig at him. You see that on
Speaker 1: almost every award show that you get a lot of
Speaker 1: the host upfront and then they kind of disappear and
Speaker 1: occasionally just show in to move the show along. And
Speaker 1: if you listen to Saturday's podcast, Conan had talked about
Speaker 1: how that is the role onto the Rob Reiner tribute.
Speaker 1: I'm not crying, you're crying. Wow, I'm getting choked up
Speaker 1: right now thinking about it. Billy Crystal nailed that. Now
Speaker 1: I wanted to pull the audio. I have a program
Speaker 1: called audio Hijack, which we'll record all the out on
Speaker 1: in your computer. I was watching on the Big TV
Speaker 1: and then I had YouTube TV playing on the laptop.
Speaker 1: But I was just hijacking the audio, as they say,
Speaker 1: and I went to pull the Billy Crystal and I
Speaker 1: saw that, oh, too many of my children logged into
Speaker 1: dad's YouTube TV account and mine got kicked off for
Speaker 1: the too many screens. So I don't have the christ
Speaker 1: the audio, but it's fantastic. Around nine pm, Conan did
Speaker 1: a bit about reaching the younger audience. I thought it
Speaker 1: was okay. My daughter, unprompted, texted me and said that
Speaker 1: she really really liked that bit, so it worked touchdown
Speaker 1: for Conan. There, Jimmy Kimmel shows up around nine to fifteen.
Speaker 1: Let's listen to Jimmy. I did edit this clip for
Speaker 1: pacing Jimmy.
Speaker 4: Kimmel and Welcome to the ninety eighth Annual Academy Awards.
Speaker 2: Oh wait, am I not hosting the show? Well, this
Speaker 2: is embarrassing.
Speaker 4: Actually, Conan went outside to get some mayor inadvertently exposed
Speaker 4: his face to the sun and was incinerated. So I
Speaker 4: will be finishing out the rest of the program. I
Speaker 4: am here to present the Oscars for Documentary Films. We
Speaker 4: hear a lot about courage at shows like this, but
Speaker 4: telling a story that could get you killed for telling
Speaker 4: it is real courage. As you know, there are some
Speaker 4: countries whose leaders don't support free speech. I'm not at
Speaker 4: liberty to say wit, let's just leave it at North
Speaker 4: Korea and CBS.
Speaker 1: Fortunately, so whatever happens in the second half of the
Speaker 1: Oscars we'll talk about that on Tuesday's podcast. Now, while
Speaker 1: we're here, I was online all night, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: in the Facebook group, I'm on Twitter. I'm just saying
Speaker 1: what's happening in the news. I just saw this one
Speaker 1: come in. I'm reading this cold. Bert Kreischer said his
Speaker 1: tour bus went up in flames on I ninety four
Speaker 1: between tour stops on Sunday. Bert shared a photo of
Speaker 1: the burnt bus. He said after the fire, we're all
Speaker 1: counting our blessings today. In an Instagram Stories post, he said,
Speaker 1: we would have all been on at asleep, we would
Speaker 1: have been dead. Bert told people his team avoided being
Speaker 1: on the bus at the time of the fire because
Speaker 1: around midnight after a show in North Dakota, the tour
Speaker 1: buses front right tire blew out on nine ninety four.
Speaker 1: Bert said, it was a fluke accident. We hit nothing
Speaker 1: and it was a no fault of the driver. We
Speaker 1: waited outside for a couple hours. They decided to leave
Speaker 1: the bus on the highway and split into the other
Speaker 1: two crew buses. The bus that caught fire waited fixing
Speaker 1: around eleven am on Sunday. The bus driver who stayed
Speaker 1: behind heard a pop come from the roof. Within a
Speaker 1: matter of seconds, the bus was filled with smoke. The
Speaker 1: driver exited the bus. The driver's okay. The bus went
Speaker 1: up in flames. That's all really weird. I'm glad everyone's okay.
Speaker 1: Bert said he and his team lost many belongings in
Speaker 1: the fire, including their clothing and other things they had
Speaker 1: left behind. In another insta post, Bert posed outside of
Speaker 1: Dick's Sporting Goods where they went to buy new clothes,
Speaker 1: and he captioned it my current and only outfit. He
Speaker 1: told people, me, the other comedians, my assistant, my trainer
Speaker 1: are all very lucky. The Lord works in mysterious ways.
Speaker 1: As annoyed as we were to blow out a tire
Speaker 1: on a highway and a snowstorm in the middle of nowhere,
Speaker 1: we're all counting our blessings today that we weren't on
Speaker 1: the bus when the fire broke out. I'm sure I
Speaker 1: litte more about that on Tuesday's pod SNL was really good.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about more on Tuesday was the best episode
Speaker 1: of the season. Marcelo Hernandez did his Sebastian manascalco. I'll
Speaker 1: break that apart. On Tuesday's episode, I'll so new cast
Speaker 1: member Jeremy Colhayne did an awesome sucker Carlson. We'll talk
Speaker 1: about that. And I continue to feel that Keenan Thompson
Speaker 1: continues to be the glue on that show. And I
Speaker 1: was really impressed by Harry Styles. I sent to a
Speaker 1: couple friends. Some people are just stars. Harry was a
Speaker 1: great host, very comfortable hosting, obviously a great musical performer.
Speaker 1: Looks great. That guy's just a star. Okay, we'll take
Speaker 1: the break here. There is a second half of the podcast.
Speaker 1: I recorded it Friday afternoon for this very scenario of
Speaker 1: let me do the oscar's up top and then some
Speaker 1: other stuff after the break. I don't even remember what
Speaker 1: I was talking about. So come back after the break
Speaker 1: and there's something there. I'm just a little tired, and
Speaker 1: I gotta put the show together. Now, coming up at
Speaker 1: newon Eastern today, the results of Comedy Survivor. Can't Wait.
Speaker 1: Check back on the feed. Then Stephen Colbert Tonight on
Speaker 1: his program will mark the fifteenth anniversary of the Book
Speaker 1: of Mormon's Broadway debut. It's been more than fifteen years.
Speaker 1: I saw that in previews. Is that number right?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Wikipedia said the Eugene O'Neill Theater on March twenty fourth,
Speaker 1: twenty eleven. Well, I saw it in previews and it
Speaker 1: was great. I've seen it a few times. Wonderful show
Speaker 1: if you've never seen it. Tonight, on Colbert's program, you'll
Speaker 1: welcome guests Trey Parker, Matt Stone, and Robert Lopez, the
Speaker 1: trio responsible for the music, lyrics and book. That's interesting
Speaker 1: that Trey and Matt are doing stuff they usually don't
Speaker 1: want to. Way back when the Book of Mormon was launching,
Speaker 1: we had Trey and Matt up to celebrate the musical
Speaker 1: at Sirius. I forget exactly what we did, but I
Speaker 1: do remember that Trey and Matt did not want to
Speaker 1: engage with anyone. I would not describe them as friendly.
Speaker 1: Also on Colbert Tonight, Andrew Reynolds and Josh Gadd, the
Speaker 1: original leads in the show. Those are the guys that
Speaker 1: I saw way back when. Apparently in twenty eleven, the
Speaker 1: Lighted Show will also host a performance by the current
Speaker 1: Broadway cast of the Book of Mormon. It is currently
Speaker 1: the tenth longest running show on Broadway and the longest
Speaker 1: running show in the one hundred year history of the
Speaker 1: Eugene O'Neil Theater, nine time Tony Award winner. The Book
Speaker 1: of Mormon follows a mismatched pair of Mormon sent on
Speaker 1: a mission to a place that's about as far from
Speaker 1: Salt Lake City as you can get. Uganda Wece caught
Speaker 1: up with Pete Holmes. I feel like there's been a
Speaker 1: Pete Holmes renaissance. I definitely have gotten a lot of
Speaker 1: nice words about and thank you Pete Holmes for coming
Speaker 1: on this program two weeks ago, and I am reminded
Speaker 1: Pete's special hasn't even hit YouTube yet. I spent the
Speaker 1: ten bucks to watch it, so I think we're going
Speaker 1: to continue to see a Pete Holmes renaissance. Vice asked
Speaker 1: Pete Holmes have comedy crowds changed since Pete Holmes first started? Now,
Speaker 1: I not a performer, would have said yes, but Pete
Speaker 1: Holmes says not one bit. Johnny Mack finds that surprising.
Speaker 1: Pete says, I think audiences have gotten more sophisticated and
Speaker 1: never broader understanding of comedy, which of course helps immensely.
Speaker 1: The one change I've noticed is people think the comedian
Speaker 1: wants to talk to the crowd. So yeah, Pete, they
Speaker 1: have changed. That's what I would have said. That's because
Speaker 1: of Instagram. Everybody posts their crowd work clips because they
Speaker 1: don't want to post material. I get it, but it's
Speaker 1: making people shout out more. That's fine, But I always
Speaker 1: think my act is better than me just asking one
Speaker 1: guy what he does for a living. Weiss was curious
Speaker 1: about would there be a Crashing movie m HBO bring
Speaker 1: Crashing back to wrap things up. Pete said, no. I
Speaker 1: love the way Crashing ended. If Pete the character went
Speaker 1: on to find success, which is where it probably would
Speaker 1: have gone, it wouldn't be crashing, it would be flourishing.
Speaker 1: And I think the struggle of years are the funniest
Speaker 1: and most interesting. No one wants to see Pete get
Speaker 1: a bid dat in an espresso machine. We want to
Speaker 1: see him. Good question here for Pete Holmes. Between the
Speaker 1: TBS show, on the podcast, You've interviewed a lot of
Speaker 1: different people. Does anyone stand out? His answer, Interviewing Conan
Speaker 1: O'Brien on both was the dream come true. Conan was
Speaker 1: and is such a kind and good hearted champion of
Speaker 1: younger comics, and interviewing him instead of the other way
Speaker 1: around was a delight and slightly terrifying. Comedy Gives Back
Speaker 1: is the nonprofit working to provide a safety net for
Speaker 1: the comedy community. They have set the lineup for Alt
Speaker 1: Comedy All Stars twenty twenty six that has a benefit
Speaker 1: show to be the mantabamb Theater in Los Angeles on
Speaker 1: April twenty second. Your lineup Bob Odenkirk, Star trek Ruiner,

Speaker 1: means helping that ecosystem survive. Bob Bonenkirk said it, as
