Speaker 1: Caalaroga Shark Media. Hey Johnny Mack with your daily comedy news.
Speaker 1: Jimmy Kimmel not happy with the results of the Emmys.
Speaker 1: He tweeted, the results of the Emmys were totally unfair
Speaker 1: in the category of Late Nit Show to exclamation points,
Speaker 1: sad rigged polls, say I won by a lot. He
Speaker 1: tagged John Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Seth Meyers on it.
Speaker 1: I think I did when I was half asleep the
Speaker 1: other night. Get all the winners in except the winner
Speaker 1: of Outstanding Comedy Series. The nominees Abbott, Elementary, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Murders, Palm, Royal, Reservation, Dogs,
Speaker 1: what we do in the Shadows, And obviously because the Bear,
Speaker 1: which is not a comedy at won like almost every award,
Speaker 1: surely the Bear must be the Outstanding Comedy Series, right,
Speaker 1: No hacks, So let me get this right. Everybody in
Speaker 1: The Bear, which is not a comedy series, was fantastic
Speaker 1: and won Best Comedian, m E's, Best medic Actors and
Speaker 1: all that, but overall the series is not the best.
Speaker 1: How does that work? Loraine Newman was not happy with
Speaker 1: The Bear. She said, every time I think about the
Speaker 1: Bear being in the Comedy category for the Emmys. I
Speaker 1: can feel an ulcer developing. I agree with you. I'm
Speaker 1: also going to point out many things can be true
Speaker 1: at the same time. Lorraine Newman's daughter is named Hannah Einbinder,
Speaker 1: who stars in Hacks. Yeah, Hanna is one of those
Speaker 1: low key NEPO babies. You know, if she were Hannah Newman,
Speaker 1: you might be like, hey, I wonder if her mother
Speaker 1: is a famous Hollywood actress. You know, use somebody else's
Speaker 1: name and nobody notices. Doesn't mean you're not tented. I'm
Speaker 1: just saying it's a little easier to get a better agent,
Speaker 1: and if you have a better agent, you know what's
Speaker 1: actually going on. And there's also a little bit of
Speaker 1: like a you know, hey, fellow radio executive friend, would mind,
Speaker 1: you know, giving my kid an internship. That kind of
Speaker 1: stuff happens. Doesn't mean you're not good at it. But
Speaker 1: let's be real, a lot of Neppo babies out there
Speaker 1: right now in Hollywood. Wow, no luck for Larry David
Speaker 1: and curb your enthusiasm. Curb if it is indeed over,
Speaker 1: and it looks like it is has ended its run
Speaker 1: as the show with the most outstanding Comedy Series nominations
Speaker 1: eleven without a win. Kerb was nominated for four Emmys
Speaker 1: this year, including Outstanding Comedy Series Loss Outstanding Lead Actor
Speaker 1: for Larry David a Loss in the End. Kerb went
Speaker 1: twelve seasons a total of fifty five Emmy nominations. They
Speaker 1: won two Outstanding Single Camera Picture Editing for a Comedy
Speaker 1: Series in twenty twelve and for Directing way back in
Speaker 1: two thousand and three. Maya Rudolph seth Meyer's Kristen wig
Speaker 1: and Bow and Yang were the presenters for the Award
Speaker 1: for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special. Before they gave
Speaker 1: the award to Alex Edeman, they gave the business to
Speaker 1: dear friend and mentor, Lauren Michaels, who's been nominated for
Speaker 1: and lost the Emmy eighty five times. He's never won.
Speaker 1: Kristen Wiggs said, Lauren, look at me. You do a value.
Speaker 1: You are worthy, you or not, and have never been
Speaker 1: a loser, even though you lost a lot. Maya Rudolph said,
Speaker 1: each and every one of those eighty five times you lost,
Speaker 1: you were rob bow and Yang said, Lauren, it gets better.
Speaker 1: Just because SNL didn't work doesn't mean your next idea
Speaker 1: won't keep dreaming. I like how he said Lauren, because
Speaker 1: anytime I run a transcript on this podcast, anytime I
Speaker 1: say Lauren, it comes up as Lauren. It often also
Speaker 1: transcribes my own name as Chenny max eh e n
Speaker 1: n Y Mac. John Stewart won the twenty third Emmy
Speaker 1: win of his career. So was he part of this Emmy?
Speaker 1: I feel like this was the year he wasn't on.
Speaker 1: I'm confused anyway. He's reconsidering his future with The Daily
Speaker 1: Show and said, my feeling is this election will never end,
Speaker 1: so why would I leave? How could I leave? I
Speaker 1: won't be allowed to leave until this election. So we're
Speaker 1: all on ground to some sort of calcified nubs. We're
Speaker 1: looking forward to being awful. Now. This article here says
Speaker 1: the Daily Show's name best talk Series for the second
Speaker 1: year in a row after Trevor Noah's final season. Last
Speaker 1: night's award marked Stuart's first Emmy win in over decade.
Speaker 1: But wasn't there a full year of no John Stuart?
Speaker 1: I'm confused anyway. Stewart gave the acceptance speech, so I
Speaker 1: guess he did win. He said, to have the opportunity
Speaker 1: to work with this incredibly talented group once a week.
Speaker 1: It really made my mondays, adding that Ronnie Chang, Michael Costa,
Speaker 1: Jordan Klepper, and Dozzi Leidek kick ass. Michael Ian Black
Speaker 1: part of Have I Got News for You on CNN.
Speaker 1: I haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I'll
Speaker 1: watch that on the DVR maybe tonight. Black posted a
Speaker 1: note of gratitude to his sub stack a few hours
Speaker 1: before filming the first episode, thinking about the fact that
Speaker 1: it's been literal years since I had a steady TV
Speaker 1: gig and the fact that I was ready to give
Speaker 1: up entirely when this thing fell into my lap. Most
Speaker 1: of us are just trying to figure out something about
Speaker 1: ourselves in our world. Maybe that sounds high falutin, but
Speaker 1: isn't that the nature of all art To cast our
Speaker 1: line into the wide waters of the world and see
Speaker 1: what we catch. Isn't that the crux of being a human?
Speaker 1: He then joked how the show we'll probably be canceled
Speaker 1: in six to eight weeks. Yeah, I'd love to have
Speaker 1: for the same kind of culture cachet that John Stewart
Speaker 1: did during the Bush years on The Daily Show. That's
Speaker 1: sort of did you hear what John Stewart said, if
Speaker 1: we get at some of that, I'd be thrilled. I'm
Speaker 1: not an activist. We'll never be an activist because I
Speaker 1: don't have those kinds of organizational skills. I don't have
Speaker 1: the kind of footwear where I'm going to be out
Speaker 1: here marching around holding up placards and shouting this is
Speaker 1: what democracy looks like. It's just not me. But I
Speaker 1: do think I can make contributions the way I make contributions,
Speaker 1: which is by saying dumpsty on Twitter or now on CNN.
Speaker 1: Colin Joe spoke about the ferry he bought with Pete
Speaker 1: David Seddon and said is absolutely the dumbest and least
Speaker 1: thought it through purchase I've ever made in my life.
Speaker 1: The way I justified it is for the amount of
Speaker 1: money we're putting it in a buying it on just a
Speaker 1: basic square footage level. If he found the right place
Speaker 1: for it to be, you were essentially buying a building
Speaker 1: on its side that's sixty five thousand square feets around
Speaker 1: New York. That's a very good price per square foot.
Speaker 1: Despite two years of renovations, it still looks like a
Speaker 1: Staten Island ferry. Joe said it's possible the ferry could
Speaker 1: still end up being functional as a boat. It would
Speaker 1: just require a staff to run it. That he was
Speaker 1: not sure that's something he wants to worry about. He joked,
Speaker 1: I'm sure our insurance company would love it. Maybe they'd
Speaker 1: love it because it would get them out of the
Speaker 1: contract because it requires a lot of people to move it.
Speaker 1: At this point, the ferry has to be Doctor two.
Speaker 1: The engines aren't operable, but Joe said it could be
Speaker 1: operable within weeks if they wanted it to be. He
Speaker 1: said he had soft floated the idea past his wife,
Speaker 1: Scarlett Johansson. She was just like, wait, so you own
Speaker 1: this boat now. She obviously sees the value in it,
Speaker 1: but I also think she's like, it's interesting because now
Speaker 1: it's becoming a defining thing for you guys and an
Speaker 1: interesting thing for you guys. So you should take it
Speaker 1: seriously and figure out the best version of it, because
Speaker 1: for better or worse, it's gonna reflect on you. Joe said,
Speaker 1: we don't care because we're comedians. Deon Cole's got a
Speaker 1: Netflix special tonight or today. I don't know what time
Speaker 1: do they post these things. They probably post them at midnight.
Speaker 1: It's probably up now. I want you to watch it now.
Speaker 1: This one is called Okay Mister Dion Cole recalls the
Speaker 1: telltale signs of aging, bedroom mishaps, dating deal breakers, and more.
Speaker 1: This was filmed back in May as part of the
Speaker 1: Netflix As a Joke Festival. Jessica Kerson is getting a
Speaker 1: special on Hulu. By the way, I saw that Hulu
Speaker 1: is branding their comedy things huluius as in hilarious hilarious,
Speaker 1: as I posted on threads where I'm at Daily Comedy News.
Speaker 1: Did no comedians say to the Hulu executives, Dude, that
Speaker 1: is really hacky? Or is the money that good? Anyway,
Speaker 1: Jessica Kerson is getting a special. The premier date is
Speaker 1: being kept under wraps as if it's like some big secret.
Speaker 1: That to me means they're planning on signing some other
Speaker 1: people and they don't where they're gonna slot Jessica yet. Like,
Speaker 1: for example, if they sign I don't know, Dave Schappelle
Speaker 1: and Joe Rogan, maybe they'll move Jessica's date. That's what
Speaker 1: that means. In a statement, Jessica Curson said, I'm honored
Speaker 1: to be part of the Disney family and that Hulu
Speaker 1: has chosen a feature MYNX special as part of their
Speaker 1: comedy initiative. People always ask me, is it hard to
Speaker 1: be a female comedian? I always say, I don't know.
Speaker 1: You should ask them. Hularious kicks off in November with
Speaker 1: Jim Gaffigan. They've also signed up Bill Burr, Roywood Junior,
Speaker 1: Alana Glazer otsco At Coonska. They are not messing around.
Speaker 1: Kathy Griffin believes for President Trump would quote pick comedians
Speaker 1: off one by one if elected to another term. She
Speaker 1: fears a list of personal targets, including comedians. She said,
Speaker 1: He's gonna pick us off one by one like bowling pins.
Speaker 1: And I'm not kidding, and I'm not being paranoid. You're
Speaker 1: being paranoid. Verd Oz will host the International Emmys, which
Speaker 1: apparently is a thing. Who knew they take place November
Speaker 1: twenty fifth. Where would you host the International Ms? Please?
Speaker 1: New York City. I mean, I guess New York City
Speaker 1: is part of the world. I just thought that get
Speaker 1: a little more international. Who knows Viewers says, I'm so
Speaker 1: happy to be hosting the International Emmys. It's a massive,
Speaker 1: prestigious night to uphold makers from across the world that
Speaker 1: I believe is making the best content I know firsthand.
Speaker 1: It could be life changing. And The Holly Reporter wrote
Speaker 1: an article about Late Night and they spotlighted some numbers.
Speaker 1: Five years ago, the Late Show finished first in total
Speaker 1: viewers with three point eight one million, Jimmy Fallon had
Speaker 1: two point four to four and Kimmel two point zero
Speaker 1: four million. In twenty twenty three, slash twenty four, Late
Speaker 1: Show was down to two point six million. Again, that
Speaker 1: first number was three point eight that's a decline of
Speaker 1: about thirty two percent from twenty eighteen. Kim Will moved
Speaker 1: into second with one point eight two million viewers, still
Speaker 1: down eleven percent. He also had a Monday night football
Speaker 1: lead in once a week. Fallon down the third one
Speaker 1: point four three million, losing forty one percent of its audience. Wow.
Speaker 1: At twelve thirty, seth with nine hundred and eighty three
Speaker 1: thousand viewers was down by about four hundred and seventy
Speaker 1: thousand viewers. That's thirty two percent. Feels more like half.
Speaker 1: I guess it's not. Somebody's better at math than I am.
Speaker 1: After Midnight is averaging about seven hundred and thirty thousand viewers.
Speaker 1: Over its first five months, Bryan Stettler reported in LA
Speaker 1: magazine that James Corden's show was losing fifteen to twenty
Speaker 1: million dollars per year. Yeah, that's why you don't replace that. Yikes.
Speaker 1: And that's your daily comedy news for today. If you
Speaker 1: enjoy the program, tell a friend about it. They might
Speaker 1: like it too. And if you would like this thing
Speaker 1: without commercials, check the link of the show notes. So
Speaker 1: I'll tell you how you can do that, and I'll
Speaker 1: see you tomorrow
