Hi, anyone still here after yesterday's show?I'm Johnny Mac with your daily comedy news.I will discuss Saturday Night Live tomorrow.Original SNL cast member Garrett Morris is not a fan of the show's current season.
He told The Guardian, I don't see the courage, the experimental impulses.To be fair to Garrett, he said this before last night's episode.Who knows what happened on last night's episode?Well, you do, but I don't.
As I record this, Morris said, I don't see the courage, the experimental impulses. That was the whole core of what happened in the first 10 years.
Interesting he says 10, not 5, because the second 5 included the Lorne Michael-less years, which were a disaster until Eddie Murphy showed up.That was the whole core of what happened the first 10 years.
I keep expecting it to attack in a funny way and bring out the foibles, not only of individuals, but of the government and all that.Nowadays, although people still check it out, I think they're catering to too many people too much of the time.
Sounds like Garrett might have liked my commentary yesterday. Morris said, I will say to the end of my days, Lauren's writers had a lot of racism going on.Lauren himself, zero racism.Because remember when I was hired, I was the only black writer.
Lauren wanted to have somebody black on TV at nighttime.People didn't want that.They were clamoring to make it all white.He didn't.
Some jokes from late night, Stephen Colbert said, so after years of investigation into Trump's many crimes, including trying to overthrow the US government, Everything's just totally cool.Reminds me of that classic song, I fought the law and what?
I won?How's that even possible?That's a good joke.Ronny Chieng with a strong one.Apparently, you can get away with your crimes if you win the presidency.And that sound you just heard is Diddy forming an exploratory committee for 2028.
But my favorite is from Seth Meyers. who said, you think Kamala Harris was too far left?She was campaigning with Liz Cheney.
The only way she could have run a more mainstream centrist campaign is if she would have formed a Huey Lewis cover band with Mitt Romney and did a cameo on Law and Order.Bill Maher will have a new special for HBO.
It is called Is Anyone Else Seeing This?It'll be out in January.It's Bill Maher's 13th stand up hour for the network.Yeah. Mar will tape the special in front of a live audience.
I love that in front of a live audience, not just an audience, a live audience at the CIBC theater in Chicago.In a statement, Bill Maher said, I almost called this special.
You won't feel safe because if you're purely a team player in American politics, you won't.This one is for the 80% of Americans who want to see crazy called out no matter where it comes from.And the last 20 minutes on my sex life.
That's for everybody.Zarnagarg is part of who Larry is not that the publicists will get back to me. Zorna Garg in a statement said, I'm beyond excited to join the Hulu family and bring families together for my comedy special.
Just to make sure they get back to their math homework afterward.
Hoolarious kicks off November 22nd with Zorna Garg, Bill Burr, Krista Stefano, Jim Gaffigan, Alana Glazer, Jessica Curson, Matteo Lane, Sebastian Maniscalco, Otsko Otkotska, Andrew Santino, and Roy Wood Jr.That is a good lineup.Are we up to 12 now?
Because we're going to do one a month.Let's see.Zorna, Burr, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. One to be revealed, unless I miscounted.Let me know.Giannis Papas and Krista Stefano used to have a podcast called History Hyenas.It's back, baby.
Oh, there goes my voice.Be right back.Wow.buymeacoffee.com slash daily comedy news. According to Andrew Schultz, he invited Kamala Harris on and she didn't do his podcast either, the other one being Rogan.Schultz said, I'm smugly satisfied.
This is what y'all get.Y'all didn't want to come on Flagrant.You know, they told us it was too big of a risk for Kamala to come on.Okay, you believe being loser, you know what's kind of a risk?Not doing any big podcasts.
The purpose of Flagrant was to build a community and a connection with the audience.
I think that her fatal flaw not going to these podcasts is that people weren't able to make that connection just as people come to shows because they build that connection with us.They came out to vote because Trump made that connection.
When I said legacy media's done, I mean they can still set a narrative.People still watch it.Giannis and DeStefano co-hosted their hit comedy podcast, History Hyenas, from 2018 till 2021.
On History Hyenas, the two comedians go wild for history and nature and tech and all things historical and natural in a way you never thought was possible. Well, all of a sudden they're back.The new episode covered the history of October surprises.
Here's a surprise.I misbalanced the script today.I'm one story short.I need to do one more.All right, let me pull up something from Monday's script.Rikki Lindholm, you know her from Garfunkel and Oates.
She announced her new comedy album, No Worries If Not, and it comes out March 14th.Now, on the one hand, I want to go, you announced that kind of early, didn't you?
On the other hand, I'm the guy that already asked Nate Bregazzi's publicist, could he come on my show six months from now?The album explores themes of family, aging, motherhood, and more, all with Lynne Holmes' trademark wit and dark humor.
Ricky says, I'm so excited to release my first solo album.No worries if not.With this album, I wanted to bring humor to some of the more personally, historically isolating experiences that women face, including infertility, aging, and motherhood.
I hope people will find not just laughter, but a sense of solidarity through these songs, which aim to distill complex topics in a light-hearted and honest way, making this album felt scary and vulnerable, but also like a natural creative evolution for me, and I can't wait to share with everyone in six months.

I left you with a cliffhanger yesterday where I was about to click on the Mr. Rogers Variety Hour, which is at the Brooklyn Art House at 2 p.m.Let's see what that actually is, because I don't know.
Hosted by Ali Levin and Emma Tattenbaum Fine, inspired by the kindness of Fred Rogers, this show features a curation of work around a chosen theme from artists who dazzle us. That's not what I thought it was going to be at all.
You know, I thought it was going to be like a Mr. Rogers parody.I'm not going all the way out to Brooklyn for that one.Sorry.I won't read all the shows to you.Let's see what's interesting today.Mike Kaplan's at QED at 7.
Chloe Radcliffe at Chelsea Music Hall at 8.30.It's a little light tonight. Yeah, nothing too exciting.Let me make a second pass here.A Mad Ethnic, a New York City variety show at Second City at 9.30.The New York City Gong Show at St.
Mark's Comedy Club at 9.30.Might be a night to stay in and watch Sunday Night Football.Friend of the show, Jason Zinnaman, specifically called out Chloe Radcliffe's show, which is called Cheat.
Zinneman writes in the New York Times, more than a decade ago a Hollywood producer told me you couldn't make a movie about a woman who cheats on her boyfriend or spouse and still retains the audience's sympathy.
The stand-up Chloe Radcliffe proves him wrong in this personal solo show that explores infidelity, her own and the subject broadly, with a refreshing candor and open-mindedness.Billboard caught up with Caroline Hirsch and Andrew Fox.
They've put this thing on. They were curious what's changed over the last 20 years.Caroline said most noticeably is the depth and length of the festival.We started out with 10 big shows and three or four headliner shows.
Now the festival is 11 days with over 300 shows and 22 headliners.And I would attribute a big part of that to the fact that comedy is more of a staple in our lives today.Andrew Fox said. When we started, so few comics were playing theaters.
New York has had such great theaters, Carnegie Hall, the Beacon Theater, Madison Square Garden, for comics.In 2006, we put Dane Cook into MSG for two nights.We sold 38,000 tickets.
Since then, we've put Kevin Hart, Bill Burr, and Trevor Noah at the Garden.Fox said, when we put Dane there, it really changed the way people looked at the comedy business.
When we look back at that from our humble beginnings, it was a game changer for us agents and managers in the industry.
Caroline Hirsch gets it and says, ideally, comedy is about taking information that may be controversial or polarizing and make it more palatable in a communal setting where everyone comes together to laugh and let off steam.
We live in a country where 50% of the people are pissed off and 50% are happy.How do we bring those two sides together?By making them laugh.Laughing is a healing process.It soothes the soul.
Billboard asked, how has stand-up comedy changed since the festival started?Caroline said, it's a lot smarter and much more political.It used to be very left-leaning, but now it's more balanced.There's a right-leaning side to it now.
Women play a much bigger role in comedy now, too.Also, the number of headliners has increased.In the early days, I had maybe 18 headliners.Today, there must be 100 comics that can headline.I think Caroline's had a lot to do with that growth.It did.
We also played a role in the media's increased interest in comedy.It did in the early 80s.No one covered comedy.I had to convince people to cover it at the New York Daily News page six and on the Howard Stern show.I don't know about that latter one.
I was listening to Howard when he came to New York in 1982 and he had comics on I. Can't say I remember day one, but I sure remember comedians being on the show.I sure remember Jackie, the joke man.
So I don't know about that last point there, Caroline.What show should we not miss?She says New York's funniest.Every year we survey the canvas, so to speak, and select 10 promising comics to participate.Some major comedians have come out of it.
Nate Bregazzi and Michael Che won in different years.The night Michael Che won, he got an agent and a manager at the Bard Carolines.My voice is shot.So that's it.And actually, I don't have any more stories.
Anyway, I was actually done, but my voice is shot. See you tomorrow.
