00:00:01.639 --> 00:00:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Callaroga Shark Media. Hello, Jenny Mack with your daily comedy news.

2
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:12.279
<v Speaker 1>You spend enough time on Twitter, you see random things.

3
00:00:12.480 --> 00:00:16.399
<v Speaker 1>Swan Marcus tweeted, it's so weird how the RFK junior

4
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:18.719
<v Speaker 1>bear story. I don't know if you heard this one,

5
00:00:18.920 --> 00:00:21.640
<v Speaker 1>Google it. It's so weird how the RFK junior bear

6
00:00:21.760 --> 00:00:24.760
<v Speaker 1>story is only the third worst story involving at Kennedy

7
00:00:24.839 --> 00:00:28.440
<v Speaker 1>having a dead body in their car. Wow, I'm excited

8
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:31.000
<v Speaker 1>about this. This just hit the wires as I'm recording

9
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.399
<v Speaker 1>Mitch Hedburg documentary. Yes, Deadline reporting the life of comedian

10
00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:37.880
<v Speaker 1>Mitch Hepburg, master of the one liner and a talent

11
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:40.479
<v Speaker 1>beloved by fellow comics. That is true will be the

12
00:00:40.479 --> 00:00:43.119
<v Speaker 1>focus of an upcoming documentary from two two two two

13
00:00:43.119 --> 00:00:46.320
<v Speaker 1>two two two Films. They announced they have completed principal

14
00:00:46.320 --> 00:00:49.520
<v Speaker 1>photography on the project, a five year long undertaking that

15
00:00:49.560 --> 00:00:54.079
<v Speaker 1>features interviews with Margaret Chow, bj Novak, Lewis Black, Jim Gaffick,

16
00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:57.159
<v Speaker 1>and David Tel, Doug Stanhope, Who's the right Person, Gary Goleman,

17
00:00:57.439 --> 00:01:01.960
<v Speaker 1>Nick Swartzman, among many others. Bj Novak said, we talked

18
00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:04.239
<v Speaker 1>about him as if he were too special for this world.

19
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>He had this energy that he was from another planet.

20
00:01:06.519 --> 00:01:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Director Jeff Siegel says, a lot of people have had

21
00:01:09.000 --> 00:01:10.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot to say for a very long time, but

22
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:13.079
<v Speaker 1>no one said it until now. It's taken many years

23
00:01:13.079 --> 00:01:14.760
<v Speaker 1>to connect with nearly everyone who is a part of

24
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:17.599
<v Speaker 1>Mitch's life and piece together who's largely unknown story. All

25
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:19.239
<v Speaker 1>that most people know about him is that he was

26
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:21.120
<v Speaker 1>hilarious and died young. But he was so much more

27
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:25.560
<v Speaker 1>than that. Among the interviews are close family members, childhood friends,

28
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:29.159
<v Speaker 1>comedy colleagues. The press release says the documentary takes viewers

29
00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:31.959
<v Speaker 1>into comedy club scattered throughout America in the nineties. For

30
00:01:31.959 --> 00:01:34.599
<v Speaker 1>Hedburg and his peers, the road was life and the

31
00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.120
<v Speaker 1>grind was real, especially in the days of carving out

32
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:39.840
<v Speaker 1>a career before the internet, before society learned to better

33
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:43.359
<v Speaker 1>address mental health needs. I'm finding it curious that this

34
00:01:43.519 --> 00:01:45.879
<v Speaker 1>one story that I've seen about this does not mention

35
00:01:46.040 --> 00:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>Lynn Shawcroft, Mitch's wife and who I worked with on

36
00:01:49.079 --> 00:01:53.359
<v Speaker 1>some Mitch related projects. Back in twenty eighteen, Vulture road

37
00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:56.159
<v Speaker 1>a piece and then they quoted Lynn as saying she's

38
00:01:56.200 --> 00:01:58.920
<v Speaker 1>been working with an LA based production company to digitize

39
00:01:58.959 --> 00:02:01.159
<v Speaker 1>everything and her goals that everything Mitch left behind, every

40
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:04.079
<v Speaker 1>half written joke, every spontaneous utterance on a MicroTape will

41
00:02:04.120 --> 00:02:06.959
<v Speaker 1>be accessible within a few clicks on a mouse. I'm

42
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:11.120
<v Speaker 1>not seeing anything about Lynn and a documentary. I'll dive

43
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:12.680
<v Speaker 1>into it when I have a little more time, and

44
00:02:12.719 --> 00:02:15.479
<v Speaker 1>we'll see what else pops up. But that is top

45
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:17.080
<v Speaker 1>of mind to me. Let me call up a story

46
00:02:17.120 --> 00:02:19.639
<v Speaker 1>ahead later in the podcast, but it's relevant, let me

47
00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:23.639
<v Speaker 1>move it here. From a Late Nighter, Kelly Carlin seems

48
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:27.039
<v Speaker 1>surprised that George Carlin is appearing in the Saturday Night

49
00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:30.639
<v Speaker 1>Live movie. Apparently Kelly tweeted and now has deleted it,

50
00:02:30.639 --> 00:02:32.639
<v Speaker 1>but the original tweets that I found it so strange

51
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:34.719
<v Speaker 1>that this film is about the first taping OFSNL on

52
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:36.759
<v Speaker 1>the host that night isn't in the film. I know

53
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:38.199
<v Speaker 1>he was doing a lot of blow that week, but

54
00:02:38.240 --> 00:02:40.400
<v Speaker 1>I do know he showed up for the taping. Cameil

55
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.240
<v Speaker 1>n Gianni. Let Kelly Carlin know that her father is

56
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:46.639
<v Speaker 1>indeed a character in the film, played by Matthew Reese.

57
00:02:46.879 --> 00:02:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Kelly then wrote, I guess he is in it. I

58
00:02:48.719 --> 00:02:51.319
<v Speaker 1>can't find anything on IMDb about it, though, Gunna have

59
00:02:51.400 --> 00:02:54.159
<v Speaker 1>to make some calls tomorrow. Late Nighter makes clear that

60
00:02:54.280 --> 00:02:57.719
<v Speaker 1>Kelly isn't necessarily opposing that George is in the film.

61
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.120
<v Speaker 1>When you heard he was playing George, she said, oh wow,

62
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.120
<v Speaker 1>he's great. Larry Wilmore than chimed in and said, if

63
00:03:03.159 --> 00:03:06.719
<v Speaker 1>that's true about Reese, that's great, He's amazing. Kelly wrote back,

64
00:03:06.759 --> 00:03:09.759
<v Speaker 1>we loved Barry Mason Late Night or rates. However, she added,

65
00:03:09.759 --> 00:03:11.240
<v Speaker 1>the estate was in the dark about it. We were

66
00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>never contacted by anyone about it. I think they'd get

67
00:03:13.879 --> 00:03:16.199
<v Speaker 1>clearance to use his name and likeness, she told, come

68
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:18.159
<v Speaker 1>on on, Gianny, I just find that weird, wouldn't you,

69
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.080
<v Speaker 1>Late Nighter says. Kelly admitted she's unclear on what legal permissions,

70
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:24.319
<v Speaker 1>if any, are called for in the situation. Another user

71
00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:26.800
<v Speaker 1>speculated George's likeness might be fair game since he's a

72
00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:30.479
<v Speaker 1>public figure. Kelly wrote, from my experiences my dad died,

73
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:33.319
<v Speaker 1>depicting someone's name and likeness as usually something you get

74
00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:35.439
<v Speaker 1>permissioned for. I've had TV shows. He's a picture of

75
00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:37.639
<v Speaker 1>him on a wong get clearance for that, but maybe

76
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>this is different. Late Nighter mentions that the Hollywood Reporter

77
00:03:41.280 --> 00:03:44.520
<v Speaker 1>named that George Carlin's longtime manager Jerry Hamza serves as

78
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>the executor of his estate. I personally have worked with

79
00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Jerry Hamza as executor of the Carlin estate. I assume

80
00:03:52.080 --> 00:03:54.759
<v Speaker 1>he is still the executor. If it's not Jerry, it

81
00:03:54.800 --> 00:03:57.639
<v Speaker 1>would probably be Kelly. Well, it's unclear if the Carlin

82
00:03:57.719 --> 00:03:59.879
<v Speaker 1>estate itself was contacted. Kelly was at least making it

83
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:02.759
<v Speaker 1>known that no one had contacted her. All right, that's

84
00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>all interesting and goes back to my point about I

85
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.520
<v Speaker 1>hope somebody talked to Lynn Shawcroft about this. Mitch Hebburg

86
00:04:07.599 --> 00:04:09.840
<v Speaker 1>a documentary A little bit of Buzz on an event

87
00:04:09.879 --> 00:04:13.319
<v Speaker 1>that happened Monday night Comedians for kamalaw Nick Offerman was

88
00:04:13.319 --> 00:04:16.120
<v Speaker 1>trending for a while. He sang an original tune from

89
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:19.519
<v Speaker 1>the perspective of reformed Republican voters. He introduced the song,

90
00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.000
<v Speaker 1>telling the audience he was powerfully grateful to Sport Harris,

91
00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:25.519
<v Speaker 1>who didn't just prosecute rapists but also is not one herself.

92
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:26.959
<v Speaker 1>Nick said, I think there are going to be a

93
00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.120
<v Speaker 1>lot of Republicans that, for obvious reasons, are going to

94
00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:32.439
<v Speaker 1>be Kamala curious. He wrote the song from the perspective

95
00:04:32.439 --> 00:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>of a Republican men who might have once been blind

96
00:04:34.560 --> 00:04:37.680
<v Speaker 1>but now can see a clear way to decency. Offerman

97
00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:40.240
<v Speaker 1>played the tune of God Bless the USA. You know,

98
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:42.399
<v Speaker 1>proud to be an American that song, he sang along

99
00:04:42.439 --> 00:04:44.040
<v Speaker 1>the lyrics, I won't sing it here, I will read

100
00:04:44.079 --> 00:04:45.920
<v Speaker 1>it in a flat voice. When he mocked the disabled

101
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.160
<v Speaker 1>in war heroes, I look the other way, he said,

102
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:50.839
<v Speaker 1>to march on the Capitol. If the President says it's okay,

103
00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:53.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't mind sex with porn stars. I'd do it

104
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:54.759
<v Speaker 1>too if I had the guts, But when it comes

105
00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:58.560
<v Speaker 1>to banging the furniture, that's just effing nuts. I'm proud

106
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:01.360
<v Speaker 1>to be a Kamala man who's quit the GOP because

107
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:03.439
<v Speaker 1>I just can't abide a man who's tried for thirty

108
00:05:03.439 --> 00:05:06.199
<v Speaker 1>four fellow knees. It's time to stand up and face

109
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:09.040
<v Speaker 1>the facts that the men I once cheered or a

110
00:05:09.079 --> 00:05:11.759
<v Speaker 1>bunch of wing nut white nationalists. Those guys are effing

111
00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:15.639
<v Speaker 1>weird to send your letters to Nick Offerman. Meanwhile, Kamala

112
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:19.079
<v Speaker 1>has chosen her running mates Minnesota Governor Tim Walls. The

113
00:05:19.079 --> 00:05:22.240
<v Speaker 1>internet started speculating who might play Tim Walls on SNL.

114
00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:25.839
<v Speaker 1>Some of the picks Nick Offerman Steve Martin, and I'll

115
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:28.639
<v Speaker 1>go with this one Jim Gaffigan, who's a pretty decent actor.

116
00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.759
<v Speaker 1>One Twitter user wrote, rooting for Tim Walls for many reasons,

117
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.240
<v Speaker 1>but mainly because I'd love to see Danny DeVito play

118
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:36.319
<v Speaker 1>him on SNL for the rest of the election season.

119
00:05:36.680 --> 00:05:38.920
<v Speaker 1>Phil Wang, a comedian that I like a lot, has

120
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:41.360
<v Speaker 1>a new Netflix special coming out September third. It is

121
00:05:41.439 --> 00:05:44.439
<v Speaker 1>called Wang In There Baby, Wang In Their Baby is

122
00:05:44.480 --> 00:05:48.199
<v Speaker 1>about being British, being Asian, octopuses America, and the trappings

123
00:05:48.240 --> 00:05:50.319
<v Speaker 1>of minor fame. There is a clip, let's listen.

124
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:54.279
<v Speaker 2>I went on really great holiday recently to Paris. Nice

125
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:56.639
<v Speaker 2>holiday is a good holiday because I went with people

126
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:01.040
<v Speaker 2>who didn't mind being touristy, right, I hate going on

127
00:06:01.079 --> 00:06:04.439
<v Speaker 2>holiday with people who don't want to be touristy. It's like,

128
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:09.519
<v Speaker 2>get over yourself. You're a tourist. You're here to do

129
00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:12.560
<v Speaker 2>the tauristy stuff. The touristy stuff is actually the fun

130
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:19.000
<v Speaker 2>part of the place. Otherwise you're just living there, are you? Oh? Phil?

131
00:06:19.040 --> 00:06:22.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh the Eiffel Tower. It's a bit touristy, all right.

132
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:23.720
<v Speaker 2>Then it's got to the dentist into a big shop.

133
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:24.160
<v Speaker 2>Because I won.

134
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:31.199
<v Speaker 1>Phil Wang Netflix op Tiber third. Colin Jost is done

135
00:06:31.240 --> 00:06:34.240
<v Speaker 1>with the Olympics. He's heading home late nighter. Says it's

136
00:06:34.240 --> 00:06:37.040
<v Speaker 1>not clear if it's because he hurt his foot where

137
00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:39.920
<v Speaker 1>the finals were delayed or whatever, but he left before

138
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:43.040
<v Speaker 1>the finals. Colin Jose had told NBC's Mike Tarico that

139
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:45.199
<v Speaker 1>he was under strict doctor's orders to keep both his

140
00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.680
<v Speaker 1>head and his feet out of the water. He'd also

141
00:06:47.759 --> 00:06:50.360
<v Speaker 1>been told he couldn't fly for two days. Subbing in

142
00:06:50.439 --> 00:06:54.839
<v Speaker 1>for Colin Jost is Australian meteorologist and radio personality Luke Bradham,

143
00:06:54.839 --> 00:06:58.160
<v Speaker 1>who was into Heiti covering surfing for Australia's Channel nine.

144
00:06:58.519 --> 00:07:00.560
<v Speaker 1>Luke says, I got a phone call the surfing came

145
00:07:00.600 --> 00:07:02.759
<v Speaker 1>back online. It was literally just Colin's not able to

146
00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:05.160
<v Speaker 1>work it. Could you please fill in for us. It

147
00:07:05.240 --> 00:07:09.079
<v Speaker 1>is unclear why Colin left. I'm going to speculate because

148
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:11.720
<v Speaker 1>the flight home was already booked before the finals got delayed,

149
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:13.519
<v Speaker 1>and somebody looked at it and went, you know what,

150
00:07:13.639 --> 00:07:15.720
<v Speaker 1>this bit isn't working. It's not worth throwing more money

151
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.319
<v Speaker 1>at it. And Colin's like, yeah, let me come home.

152
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I got to go to Tahiti for a week. That

153
00:07:18.800 --> 00:07:21.360
<v Speaker 1>was the plan. John Stewart is not on the Daily

154
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:24.040
<v Speaker 1>Show this week. He tested positive for COVID. Hope you're

155
00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:27.319
<v Speaker 1>doing okay, John. Michael Costa will host every night this

156
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:31.959

157
00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:36.199
<v Speaker 1>Festival kicking off tonight. Your headliner, Tom Sagora definitely not

158
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:39.279
<v Speaker 1>a serial killer. Check out yesterday's episode for that callback

159
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.560

160
00:07:42.600 --> 00:07:46.040
<v Speaker 1>for his sharp wit, end distinctive comedic style. Speaking of

161
00:07:46.079 --> 00:07:49.279
