Speaker 1: Caaloroga Shark Media.
Speaker 2: Hey man, I'm Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news,
Speaker 2: the daily briefing on stand up comedy comedians in the
Speaker 2: comedy industry. Acent is the Algorithm Loves. Nicki Glazer will
Speaker 2: not be roasting Kevin Hard. She is sitting out the
Speaker 2: roast of Kevin Hart part of the Netflix is a
Speaker 2: Joe Comedy Festival. Niki Glazer said, I do not have
Speaker 2: the time right now in my schedule to commit to
Speaker 2: giving it what I want to give it. I love it,
Speaker 2: and when I work hard at it, I kill it.
Speaker 2: But I just don't have the time to work hard
Speaker 2: at it. And I just recently roasted Kevin Hard at
Speaker 2: the Golden Globes. I roasted him at the Tom Brady Roast.
Speaker 2: I'm coming up short with short chokes, if you know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. Nicki has a special coming out on
Speaker 2: April twenty fourth. It's called Good Girl. It'll be on Hulu.
Speaker 2: And you know my opinion on Hulu, that's where you
Speaker 2: go when you're slightly past peak, watch out for the
Speaker 2: Curse of Hulu. There, Nicki Glazer and everyone's welcome to
Speaker 2: go through the list of Hulu comedy specials and point
Speaker 2: out where I'm wrong, but I'm not sure I am,
Speaker 2: Nicki said. I'm terrified for it to come out because
Speaker 2: it has a lot of jokes I've told on the
Speaker 2: road for years. It's always fun to do these jokes
Speaker 2: in front of a crowd that's not recording, and you
Speaker 2: feel free to just say crazy stuff. But then they go,
Speaker 2: we're gonna put it on tape, and you go, that's great.
Speaker 2: Then you watch it in the edit and you're like, wait,
Speaker 2: everyone's gonna see this and there's gonna be comments on this.
Speaker 2: I love doing it and I'm crazy and while in
Speaker 2: the moment and uninhibited, but then afterwards, I don't want
Speaker 2: to talk about it. I want to hear what it
Speaker 2: sounded like. I don't want to hear what I said
Speaker 2: or what I did. This is reminding me. I'm going
Speaker 2: to right now leave myself a note for Friday. For
Speaker 2: Comedy stock Market, we are going to sell I'll tell
Speaker 2: you right now, we are gonna sell Nicki Glazer. Not
Speaker 2: that we don't love Nicki Glazer, but we don't trust
Speaker 2: that Hulu comedy brand. So the comedy stock Market, as
Speaker 2: you know, is where we try and find value, and
Speaker 2: we might want to sell high on NICKI. You know
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. I might have to head up to Jamestown,
Speaker 2: New York in August. That's where you will find the
Speaker 2: National Comedy Center and the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival. This
Speaker 2: year's headliners Jerry Seinfeld, Bert Krascher, and Seth Myers. Jerry
Speaker 2: the headliner Thursday, August sixth, Bert on Saturday eighth, Seth
Speaker 2: Myers on the ninth. So what's happening on Friday the seventh, John,
Speaker 2: It's the stand Up Showcase, featuring a lineup of talent
Speaker 2: from across the country. Former guest on this program Jerrenny Gunderson.
Speaker 2: She's the executive director of the Center and said the
Speaker 2: National Comedy Center's museum and archive were established to celebrate
Speaker 2: the art forms, distinct voices and contributions throughout time, and
Speaker 2: this year's festival brings together the artists who represent distinct
Speaker 2: approaches to the craft. Let's see Jerry Seinfeld, Bert Krascher,
Speaker 2: They're doing two very different things. Seth Myers, you know,
Speaker 2: it is not like Burt at all. Is more like
Speaker 2: Jerry than Burt. But yeah, okay. Additional artists Scheduled to
Speaker 2: appear include Carol Leefer, whose writing credits include Seinfeld and Kerb,
Speaker 2: Gina Brillan, Jenny Zigrino, and Drew Dunn. The festival will
Speaker 2: feature more than fifty live events over four days, including
Speaker 2: late night comedy, block parties, live music, and more. Now
Speaker 2: I thought it was interesting they shared the bios for
Speaker 2: the headliners. Not that you don't know who Jerry Seinfeld
Speaker 2: is if you're listening to me, but let's just see
Speaker 2: what Jerry Seinfeld's bio is here in twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2: Seinfeld saw his comedy career take off after his first
Speaker 2: appearance on The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson in nineteen
Speaker 2: eighty one. Eight years later, he teamed up with Larry
Speaker 2: David to create Seinfeld, Widely regarded as one of the
Speaker 2: most successful and influential comedy series in television history. The
Speaker 2: show ran for nine seasons, earning numerous Emmy, Golden Globe,
Speaker 2: and People's Choice awards, and was later named the greatest
Speaker 2: television show of all time by TV Guide and the
Speaker 2: best sitcom ever in a sixty minutes Vanity Fair poll.
Speaker 2: We'll have to debate that sometime. It's in the conversation
Speaker 2: about best sitcom ever. Is Seinfeld the greatest television show
Speaker 2: of all time all genres? I don't know about that,
Speaker 2: But if it's not that, then what I'll just make
Speaker 2: a quick case for the tonight show. Bert krisis bio
Speaker 2: tells us Bert has evolved from Rolling Stones number one
Speaker 2: party here in the nation to one of the top
Speaker 2: grossing stand up comedians the world and a powerhouse entrepreneur, actor, producer,
Speaker 2: content creator, and entertainment brand. Hey Bert Preischer, people, you
Speaker 2: don't want to describe anyone as an entertainment brand like that.
Speaker 2: That just makes you uncool, like I know Kevin Hart
Speaker 2: does that. You're not an entertainment brand. You don't want
Speaker 2: to be that. You want to be a man of
Speaker 2: the people who doesn't wear a shirt. You don't want
Speaker 2: to be an entertainment brand. Let your agent say that
Speaker 2: on the side when they're doing deals, but don't publicly
Speaker 2: describe yourself as an entertainment brands. It's a It's not
Speaker 2: that it's not cool, but it's uncool. No, uncool means
Speaker 2: like you're being jerky. It's the opposite of cool. Put
Speaker 2: it that way. Kreischer has parlayed his signature comedy and
Speaker 2: authenticity into a dynamic media empire. You're trying too hard
Speaker 2: with this bio. Back this down, the Seth Meyers bio
Speaker 2: tells us. Seth Myers is an Emmy Award winning writer,
Speaker 2: New York Times best selling author and host of Late
Speaker 2: Night with Seth Myers since twenty fourteen, watched by hundreds
Speaker 2: and hundreds of people. Seth Meyers began his career on
Speaker 2: Setriday Night Live, where he spent thirteen seasons as a
Speaker 2: cast member, including nine seasons as head writer, in eight
Speaker 2: seasons as anchor of Weekend Update. He has earned thirty
Speaker 2: three nominations for his work in television. He has released
Speaker 2: two acclaimed stand up specials, Lobby Baby and Seth Meyers
Speaker 2: Dad Man Walking, and continues to perform stand up nationwide.
Speaker 2: Myers also co edlines a residency with John Oliver in
Speaker 2: New York and collaborates on multiple podcasts with The Lonely
Speaker 2: Island Guys. Now here's some fun behind the scenes. I
Speaker 2: don't know what happened here in my script that I'm
Speaker 2: working off. I've got the information from the National Comedy Center.
Speaker 1: We just did.
Speaker 2: I also have an interview David crossed with the La Times. Now,
Speaker 2: what I can't explain is whatever my document did, it
Speaker 2: mixed the two. So as I've been scrolling down here
Speaker 2: telling you about the festival, every other paragraph has been
Speaker 2: from the David Cross thing. It is the weirdest thing
Speaker 2: like here. So if you were reading my script, it
Speaker 2: says David Cross, Jamestown, then the Jerry stuff, and then
Speaker 2: after mentioning Bert Kraser, it goes into David Cross saying,
Speaker 2: my thing's never been about crowd work. This is the
Speaker 2: most confusing thing, but I'll deal with it. Could I
Speaker 2: edit this? I could, but that's not fun. I like
Speaker 2: to share with you guys what's going on. David Cross
Speaker 2: until the La Times. My thing has never been about
Speaker 2: crowd work. I like engaging with it. It's kind of a
Speaker 2: nice distraction from the set that you've been doing one
Speaker 2: hundred times, one hundred and fifty times at that point.
Speaker 2: So it's always fun to have the thing happened and
Speaker 2: that feeling of spontaneity. If it were scripted, it wouldn't
Speaker 2: have been as good. The guy had talked to you
Speaker 2: during his new special about hiking Machu Pichu with Bob
Speaker 2: Odenkirk that's Chef's kiss. And then the next paragraph is
Speaker 2: back to the National Comedy Center, so I don't know
Speaker 2: what happened here, And then the paragraph after that is
Speaker 2: speaking of Bob Odenkirk. You guys have this long relationship.
Speaker 2: I don't know what happened to this document. This has
Speaker 2: never happened before, so I got to scrawl to audio.
Speaker 2: So the question is about working with Bob Odenkirk. David
Speaker 2: Cross tells the La Times before there was even Mister
Speaker 2: Show what would ultimately become Mister Show, when we got
Speaker 2: together to write sketches for this bigg kount of Comedy
Speaker 2: collective thing, and the shows would do with each other
Speaker 2: for each other, and the stuff would write together was
Speaker 2: like real good, easy writing, one person adding this thing,
Speaker 2: one person saying here's a switch, yeah, and another person
Speaker 2: adding this thing in. It was fun. It's cool. Still
Speaker 2: is one thing Bob doesn't get enough credit for is
Speaker 2: he's a really decent human being. And with all the
Speaker 2: awfulness in the world that's magnified, every sense is bombarded
Speaker 2: with it, just good to be hanging with somebody whose
Speaker 2: energy is a good person, a decent person, and an
Speaker 2: equitable nice guy. So that's good as well. The Only
Speaker 2: Times asked David Cross, what are your thoughts on what
Speaker 2: a comedy special is nowadays or what it should be?
Speaker 2: Great question. David Cross agrees because he said, I mean
Speaker 2: that's a great question. He says, I think anybody who
Speaker 2: plays with the form, whether I think it's funny or not,
Speaker 2: is different. But I'm happy when anybody kind of tries
Speaker 2: to at least play with a form. I just went
Speaker 2: to Rory Skoles taping last week of his latest special.
Speaker 2: I don't know when that will air, but if you've
Speaker 2: seen the beginning to his first special, stuff like that
Speaker 2: where you're like, wait, what's happening, what's going on? I
Speaker 2: love stuff like that. It's giving ahead. Cross said, I
Speaker 2: don't know, O, can eighteen thousand people in arena really
Speaker 2: relate to a billionaire talking about how they're gonna get canceled?
Speaker 2: I mean that's the thing. I guess. Well, we're gonna
Speaker 2: find out if the Netflix is a Joe comedy all.
Speaker 2: If nothing else, go see. Luisi ke Grass said, these
Speaker 2: other big, slick specials that are shot in like a
Speaker 2: thirty two hundred seat, thirty five hundred seed theater just
Speaker 2: feels like Oh, this person's up there and I'm listening
Speaker 2: to their jokes. There's nothing wrong with that. They're often
Speaker 2: very funny jokes, but it doesn't go beyond that. It's
Speaker 2: just like, all right, tell me your joke. It might
Speaker 2: as well just be an audio thing, you know. Let's
Speaker 2: check in at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. I've pulled
Speaker 2: four clips for you today. On a Monday, I thought
Speaker 2: we could play a bunch of a stand up comedy.
Speaker 2: Now I think what this illustrates is the different things
Speaker 2: you can see at a comedy festival. These four people
Speaker 2: I'm going to play for you are not household names,
Speaker 2: are not famous here in the States. Perhaps the mileage
Speaker 2: will vary if you are from down Under, and as
Speaker 2: we're about to hear, varying degrees of subjective opinion quality.
Speaker 2: And for me, when you go to a comedy festival,
Speaker 2: always go see smaller shows. Not everything's gonna be awesome,
Speaker 2: but sometimes someone is, and those are the moments that
Speaker 2: you will treasure. All Right, I've got four clips. My
Speaker 2: favorite one is the fourth one. My second favorite is
Speaker 2: the first one. So that is the sequencing here for
Speaker 2: the roller coaster ride. We're about to go on First Up,
Speaker 2: here's Rachel Hornbuckle. Her show is called Skin Deep and Meaningful.
Speaker 3: And it's Rachel. I'm from Queensland, so if I say
Speaker 3: anything you don't like, fair enough. I'm from a small
Speaker 3: country town in Queensland called Brisbane. And while we're on
Speaker 3: bad things about me, I'm a real bad driver. I
Speaker 3: recently got into a very bad car accident, completely right
Speaker 3: off the other car. Mine's fine, No, I did write
Speaker 3: off both cars. But I was into womber at the time,
Speaker 3: and I took it to a mechanic and he told
Speaker 3: me he could fix it, and he kept calling me love,
Speaker 3: so I was like, yeah, I trust him. But now
Speaker 3: this car breaks down all the time. All the time.
Speaker 3: This car's breaking down. Most recent things started leaking oil,
Speaker 3: so to take it to a new mechanic and I
Speaker 3: couldn't unders dan what he was saying to me. And
Speaker 3: I really wanted him to man explain to me. And
Speaker 3: I could tell he wanted to as well, but like
Speaker 3: you can't, and he was like, that's your transmission oil.
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, that sounds like an essential oil, right.
Speaker 3: I would have to be run off the next to
Speaker 3: lavender or seedar wood or something and he was like, sorry,
Speaker 3: do you not know what transmission means? I was like, yeah,
Speaker 3: of course I do. I'm an ally.
Speaker 2: Next up we have Jordan Barr. Jordan's show is called
Speaker 2: Choir Girl.
Speaker 4: I went to drama school. Just pretty cool. That's a yeah,
Speaker 4: great place to go if you want dirty feet in
Speaker 4: an eating disorder.
Speaker 1: Better, No, I do.
Speaker 4: I love cacao nibs so good. But I did enjoy
Speaker 4: being immersed in like drama. There was such I was
Speaker 4: a little wanka.
Speaker 1: I loved it.
Speaker 4: I kept calling myself a thespian. I was like, I'm
Speaker 4: a thespian now I drink soy lattees. And then I
Speaker 4: left drama school and realized that I was actually a lesbian.
Speaker 2: Difference.
Speaker 4: Uh there. Then my partners, my partner has recently come
Speaker 4: out as non binary, so they then pronounce it's full circle, baby,
Speaker 4: I'm a thespian again.
Speaker 2: Now I thought that was kind of a hack joke.
Speaker 2: But back to how I set up this segment. You
Speaker 2: go to a comedy festival, you never know what you're
Speaker 2: going to get. That wasn't the most amazing thing I've
Speaker 2: ever heard. Next up, Abby Howell's show is called The
Speaker 2: cave and I'm gonna warn you we're gonna go a
Speaker 2: long way for a joke. Here. As I was pulling
Speaker 2: this audio, I was like, is this going anywhere? And
Speaker 2: just being a comedy snob, I'm like, this has to
Speaker 2: go somewhere unexpected, because otherwise this is just an awful story.
Speaker 2: So maybe I've spoiled it, maybe not, but we're breaking
Speaker 2: down comedy. I'm telling you how all this works. So
Speaker 2: here's Abby Howel's from the Kiev, And like I said,
Speaker 2: we're gonna go a long way for a punchline. And
Speaker 2: then you could tell me if this pays off.
Speaker 5: I thought I would spend my set listing some interesting
Speaker 5: things about myself so you get to know me a
Speaker 5: little bit of Okay, Fact number one may not come
Speaker 5: as a huge surprise, but two years ago I was
Speaker 5: diagnosed with autism and my first thought was, dang, shouldn't
Speaker 5: have got that vaccine. Like number two, I would be
Speaker 5: humiliated if anyone saw my social media presence, not because
Speaker 5: it's like freaky or anything like that, but because it
Speaker 5: is the opposite. You would see that all that I
Speaker 5: do is comment on this one woman's tiktoks, and this
Speaker 5: woman she lives in the north of England and she
Speaker 5: makes milkshakes and she's like, it's milkshake Monday. And then
Speaker 5: she makes the milkshake and she's like, calm back for
Speaker 5: part two for the taste test, and then part.
Speaker 2: Two is like it's quite nice. Actually it's always.
Speaker 3: Just quite nice.
Speaker 5: And I don't know what it is about this woman,
Speaker 5: but she has bewitched me body and soul, and I
Speaker 5: just do the lamest comments like yum, and like looks
Speaker 5: good girls save some for me, and liked kindo surprise
Speaker 5: next humiliating. So I think I need to mix it up.
Speaker 5: And how I'm gonna do that is interact more with
Speaker 5: porn online. But I'm just gonna do the same comments,
Speaker 5: just be like Yum, looks good girls save some for me,
Speaker 5: like do kindo surprise next, and the CIA agent who's
Speaker 5: like moditoring me will be like kinder supers. I've never
Speaker 5: even heard.
Speaker 2: Of that six position before.
Speaker 5: Abby is a freak.
Speaker 2: In next up. My favorite of the four clips today,
Speaker 2: Lloyd Langford's show is Okay, I believe you.
Speaker 1: I saw a poster in Melbourne the other day and
Speaker 1: it said are you aware that a tram weighs the
Speaker 1: same as thirty rhinos, and I was like, no, I'll
Speaker 1: be honest, I've never once contemplated the weight of the tram,
Speaker 1: pullly in terms of the rhino, but I am aware
Speaker 1: that a tram is heavy. If I'm crossing the street
Speaker 1: right and there's like a tram coming towards me, I'm
Speaker 1: not thinking I reconologist, dip the shoulder and then just
Speaker 1: carry on my merry week. I'll be honest with you. Right,
Speaker 1: if there's one rhino a sol right, you know, a
Speaker 1: Lorne wolf, right, you know, heading for me, I'm moving
Speaker 1: out the way. I'm like, on your gold mane, I
Speaker 1: think you have right your pottage here. However, thirty rye, Nos,
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. Right I'm stopping. I'm getting my
Speaker 1: phone out of my pocket and I'm taking some photographs.
Speaker 3: Now.
Speaker 2: As I listen to that, I hear a lot of
Speaker 2: Craig Ferguson, and I was curious because it's the Melbourne
Speaker 2: Australia International Comedy Festival, but note the word international in there.
Speaker 2: So I looked up Lloyd Langford, who I was unfamiliar with,
Speaker 2: and I learned that Lloyd at Langford as a Welsh
Speaker 2: comedian not that Craig Ferguson is Welsh, but okay, you
Speaker 2: know it's not like Lloyd Langford is from New Jersey
Speaker 2: for example. Anyway, I'm hearing a little similarity there, but
Speaker 2: I like Lloyd a lot. One more before we go,
Speaker 2: romy Yusef has announced a special. It is called Ramy
Speaker 2: Yusef in Love, his third hour long HBO original comedy special.
Speaker 2: It to be out April seventeenth. That's a Friday night
Speaker 2: at nine o'clock. So HBO, I thought we were building
Speaker 2: a brand where like the weird stuff appears on Friday. Oh,
Speaker 2: did we ever talk about what is his name? Julio Turis?
Speaker 2: Did I ever talk about that? I don't think I did.
Speaker 2: That was the special where I thought they had added
Speaker 2: a lot of laugh track to the trailer. I think
Speaker 2: they added a lot of laugh track to the actual special.
Speaker 2: I couldn't even make it like, I don't know. I
Speaker 2: was out on that really early. I was like I
Speaker 2: wanted to like this. My brain was lit up for like, okay,
Speaker 2: I'm in the mood for weird and just no hard
Speaker 2: pass on that one. That was rough. So I thought
Speaker 2: HBO was making Friday Night quirky night. Because we had
Speaker 2: Sarah Sherman and Chris Fleming and Julio Tauris. But now
Speaker 2: Rommy Yusef doesn't fit into that box. So I don't know.
Speaker 2: Friday Nights on HBO is Random Comedy Night. I guess
Speaker 2: I digress Rommy Usef in Love, filmed at the Hideout
Speaker 2: in Chicago. Rammy Useff playfully engages with the audiences. He
Speaker 2: approaches a vast spectrum of personal topics, ranging from marriage
Speaker 2: to AI, religion, and being a dog parent. Now, the
Speaker 2: first time I did that, I took it out. I
Speaker 2: made an edit for once, so they didn't put in
Speaker 2: an extra comment there. So I read it as ranging
Speaker 2: from his marriage to AI, religion, and being a dog parent.
Speaker 2: Maybe it is about his marriage to AI. I don't
Speaker 2: know who he's married to. I didn't do the homework anyway.
Speaker 2: The premise is you can find light and hope in
Speaker 2: all things if you just try to see them through
Speaker 2: a lens of love. Coming up at noon Eastern the
Speaker 2: Results of a Comedy Survivor. We'll see if Sebastian Manascalpo
Speaker 2: made it out alive or not, and then we'll be
Speaker 2: down to the final three. So come back at noon
Speaker 2: Eastern for comedy Survivor and I'll meet you back here
Speaker 2: then
