Ah.

Calla Roca Shock Media.

Hello, I'm Johnny Mac.

This is actually take two of the podcasts.

I went down a road and I'm like,

why don't you do this one again?

This is a daily briefing of state of comedy comedies

of the comedy industry.

Ascent, it's the algorithm loves.

You're big headline that gets the attention.

Mark Norman is second controversy of the week.

The headline, Netflix source disputes Mark Norman claim

that an exec called Muslims dangerous people.

So in the end,

deleted take of this podcast, I started to read the transcript

and I'm like, you know what?

Let me let Mark Norman speak for himself.

This is from episode 648 of the Tuesdays

with stories podcast.

Let's listen to part one.

They said, send us a couple jokes you like.

We'll chop them up and use that as promo on social media.

So it's like, oh, no problem.

I like this joke.

I like this joke.

And they said, great.

They come back in a week.

They go, you know what?

Let me let Mark Norman speak for himself.

This is from episode 648 of the Tuesdays

and they come back in a week.

They go, we got to do a conference call.

And I go, that's not going to hate a conference call.

There's 18 Jews on there with a speaker phone and my Jews.

And they go, yeah, we got some bad news there.

We reviewed the, the special again.

We'd like to take out the Muslim joke.

I got a big joke about Muslims.

And I go, oh, why?

And they go, well,

last time a comic did a Muslim joke.

We got bomb threats.

We got death threats.

They said they were going to kill us.

They ruined the whole studio.

Blow the place up to smithereens.

So we'd like to not use the Muslim jokes.

Smithereens.

And I go, whoa, I like the joke.

It kills.

It's a hot joke.

And you know, no one touches must.

Okay.

I'll let Mark and Netflix speak for themselves.

But then Mark continued with this, which got an eyebrow out of me.

Well, I'm on the call.

Like, oh, I thought this was going to be like, we're cutting your money.

We're taking a special day.

We don't like you.

Don't stop, stop writing us letters.

But they're like, we want to take out the Muslim joke.

And they're very special, not just the clip.

Well, that's what I thought.

So I was like, I've got a fight for the joke here, folks.

You approved it.

Now you're going back.

And they're like, well, okay, we'll keep it in the hour.

But we got to get it off socials.

And I said, why?

What's the difference?

And they go, well, socials is where all the shit starts.

Right.

You go, put shit on the internet.

That's where the fire fucking kicks up the pile on the retweets, the sharing.

You can't comment on a TV screen, you know?

Right.

So they're like, we got to take it off.

So that's a, that's a no brainer.

And I was like, okay, okay.

I don't love it.

But okay, I will take it off on one condition.

And they said, all right, what do you want to hear?

What do you want?

I go, I want you to admit on this call that they're dangerous people.

Oh, jeez.

And they were like, what?

Oh, what are you crazy?

And I'm like, you got admitted, or I'm keeping it, or I'm posting it.

And they're like, I mean, I'm half joking.

But they were like, you can hear like a morrow in the back.

Like a horse was walking through.

And I was like, that's all I need.

And they go, well, we're not going to do that.

And I'm like, why not?

They go, well, that's offensive.

And I go, that's what the call is.

You're calling about this.

And I just need you to say it out loud.

A source to the holler to porter strongly denies most components of Mark Norman's story.

You just heard it.

I'll let you decide how serious or not Mark was.

But the source said, we advised him that we're a global company.

And to be careful with the clips and jokes he used to promote the special on his own social channels.

The source says the idea that a Netflix executive would portray Muslims as a dangerous threat

on a conference call, let alone verbally agree with Norman that they're a dangerous people is,

quote, not true, not correct, completely false.

The source says Mark Norman wasn't even on the call only his reps.

So the idea of a back and forth dialogue between Mark Norman and the executives didn't happen.

They say it's an embellishment.

Meanwhile, Vince Vaughn making headlines.

Vince Vaughn was on Theo Vaughn's this past weekend.

He criticized late night programs for becoming the same show and saying that they are really agenda-based.

Here's a long-ish clip from Vince Vaughn.

Why a lot of the late shows has struggled.

Because all they did during, like, all they did, the only person they can make fun of at a certain point

was just like white red and that kind of people and then everything tanked after that.

Think about that.

Let's see, they never get it right.

The podcasts have gotten so much more popular with less production, less writers, less staff.

The reason why two people working here and both of them are hungover.

One guy has shingles.

But the place is clean.

I like that.

You keep a clean plan.

Thank you.

Yeah, we did it back in.

But yeah, because people want authenticity.

Yeah.

And I think that the talk shows, to a large part, became really agenda-based.

Yeah.

They were going to evangelical people to what they thought.

You know what I mean?

And so people just rejected it because it didn't feel authentic.

It felt like they had an agenda.

It's not being funny and it started feeling like I was in class I didn't want to take.

Yeah.

Do you know what I mean?

For sure.

I've been scolded.

100%.

Yeah.

100%.

That's the phenomenon isn't what they say.

They always blame technology.

But the reality is it's the approach.

You know, someone could go watch a stand-up at Madison Square Garden and they want to go because it feels dangerous.

The crowd is alive.

I don't know what Theo is going to do or say.

And I love taking that experience.

So it's fun.

I don't want to stay home and watch it on a TV.

Because I want to experience that live.

Right.

And it's where you're coming from.

That's the main point.

And I think people are going to tune into a podcast more so because they want to feel like people are having a real conversation.

It's interesting to them.

But if you look at what happened to the talk shows and why their ratings are low.

It's got only to do with the fact of what you just said, which is they all became the same show.

Yeah.

And they all became so about their politics and who's good and who's bad.

And it's like, imagine sitting next to someone like that on a plane.

Bro, you'd be like, how do I get out of this?

I'll be far right next to Holy cow.

You fought your way out of that.

I would.

Now, if you listen every day, you know the president of the United States and I don't agree on all the issues.

But one of the issues we're aligned on is that Stephen Colbert has to go.

It is the right move that CBS has taken his late night show away from him.

And now taking Star Trek away from him.

That's right.

CBS has canceled Starfleet Academy in which Star Trek ruin her Stephen Colbert.

Was the voice of the computer.

That means fellow Star Trek ruiner Tignotaro and fellow Star Trek ruiner genius sheer are out of a gig good.

Now I have bad news for Lord of the Rings fans.

Star Trek ruiner Stephen Colbert soon to be Lord of the Rings ruiner.

This is not getting a good reaction on social media, the headline.

A new Lord of the Rings movie is in development from Stephen Colbert and his son.

Does anything about that sentence make you go, oh, I can't wait for the new Lord of the Rings.

The new Lord of the Rings movie developed by Stephen Colbert.

The announcement came from Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson giving an update about the next film in the franchise.

That will be Andy circus is the hunt for golem.

Jackson said Andy's doing a terrific job.

It's looking amazing.

The hunt for golem will be out in 2027.

Jackson venties that his very special partner who will help develop the next film after the hunt for golem.

Stephen Colbert this film currently titled the Lord of the Rings shadows of the past.

The plots of shadows of the past will come from chapters of the fellowship of the ring that did not make it into Peter Jackson's 2001 adaptation.

Colbert told Jackson, you know what the books mean to me and what your films mean to me.

But the thing I found myself reading over and over again were the six chapters early on in the fellowship of the ring that y'all never developed into the first movie back in the day.

It's basically the chapter three is company chapter three through fog on the barrow downs chapter eight.

Oh wait, maybe this could be its own story they could fit into the larger story could we make something that was completely faithful to the books.

Well also being completely faithful to the movies that you guys had already made.

Now that all sounds good, but I'll remind you that Stephen Colbert took part in Starfleet Academy.

He's a Star Trek ruler.

I don't trust him with the keys to Lord of the Rings.

The official logline 14 years after the passing of Frodo Sam Marion Pippin set out to retrace the first steps of their adventure.

Meanwhile Sam's daughter Eleanor has discovered a long buried secret and is determined undercover why the war of the ring was very nearly lost before it even began.

Good luck Lord of the Rings fans.

Meanwhile SNL UK apparently is costing around $2.6 million per episode except they pay in pounds two million pounds depending on your currency exchange.

Variety says SNL UK hired the largest studio and central London's television center on a standing exclusive basis for the entirety of its eight week run.

Meaning the cast of crew don't share the space will let any other production Graham Norton on the premier pointed out that the 10,800 square foot TC one is usually home to the Graham Norton show.

The exclusivity means the cast and crew aren't sharing the space will let any other production nor did they have to assemble the sets and clear out the offices and all that in between episodes.

SNL UK was originally going to get six episodes they decided to make it eight.

An episode of SNL USA goes from around four million dollars a typical British sketch show usually costs around five hundred thousand pounds one expert said they're expensive which is why no one does them anymore topical shows also have no repeatability unlike dramas.

The inaugural episode got 226,000 viewers a number called respectable meanwhile in the US there's a new short form series from SNL called the rundown the rundown streams on peacock YouTube and SNL social channels and it asks current and former cast members to choose their favorite sketches and musical performances to build a fantasy episode.

Episode one is Colin just.

He explains the cold open for SNL is often truly cold because after a warm up comic there's like 10 minutes of jazz from the in house band and the show waits to go live at 11 30 says you're going from an ice cold vibe in here.

And if you're good as a performer and good as a writer and being able to get that audience laughing early on it's a feat his choice for the rundown is season 34 is opening with Tina Fey and Amy Polar playing Sarah Palin and Katie Kirk and a parody of the CBS news interview between the two Seth Meyers wrote that sketch.

Episodes of the rundown debut on Wednesdays when SNL is off which is this week SNL's next live episode is scheduled for April 4 Jack Black hosts Jack White musical guest love it.

Last one laughing UK is back if you haven't watched it start with season one which was hilarious if you don't know what last one laughing is a bunch of comedians get locked in a room Jimmy car is your host and the comedians try to make each other laugh if you laugh you're out.

It's fun because a it's funny and be you can play along at home and try not to break while you're sitting on your couch vulture said it's arguably a game show about comedy comedians but mostly it's a show about walking away from people mid conversation.

In polite society it's one of the greatest things you can do but in last one laughing it's a necessity.

This season's cast includes David Mitchell you know him from Peep show and Mitchell and web of course also Diane Morgan you know she plays filomena cunk in the various cunk documentaries.

By the time you're hearing this there should be five episodes out in the finale will drop on April 2 Tim Dylan has a suggestion for the long TSA lines on his podcast him said you want to hear a solution stop screening them.

Get on the fn plane whatever happens happens get on the fn plane if you want to go to Phoenix that much just get on the fn plane who cares the cockpick doors closed who gives a hoot.

If you're really into comedy check out the podcast Louis Theroux he has Stuart Lee a comedian as his guess they get deep into the weeds I really enjoyed that conversation as I talked about earlier I'm very excited that Starfleet Academy has been canceled for the first time in many years no star trek is in production now as a star trek fan you would think like oh doesn't that make you said no it makes me happy because the people who have been in charge have done nothing but destroy star trek.

And I'd rather have no star trek than cannon busting star trek I'll just sit with the 700 hours that existed through the end of the enterprise series and ignore the rest glad it's gone this is nothing to do with comedy this week is the 40th anniversary of the Van Halen album 51 50 boy 40 years goes fast as I wrote in my sub stack link in the show notes I feel like it was maybe not yesterday but not too long ago I went to the numbers record store in my hometown.

Pop to the 51 50 into my cassette walkman was listening to it on the way home stopped off at Tommy's pizza got a slice back in the old days when like you can order a slice through the window are you from New York City you know what I'm talking about yeah they would open the window you didn't have to go in you get a slice through the window great whatever happened to that.

And when I was at Tommy's pizza I realized I had already lost the cassette box to 51 50 I retraced my steps couldn't find it still bothers me 40 years later great album wrote about it today in the sub stack.

And a burner and page to Sorbo you may know them from their giggly squad podcast they're working with Netflix Netflix is developing a half hour scripted comedy co written in headline by the best friends produced by Amy Polar set New York City untitled Hannah and page project stars the two as fictionalized versions of themselves as they become the ultimate writer dies helping each other shed their baggage and emerges the people they've always wanted to be that will probably do well.

Eliza Slesinger is teaming up with Jeep again the new ad campaign is called the real deal or ship Eliza Slesinger takes on her now official role as the brand's chief family officer.

She steps into a dealership setting where she interacts with customers showcases features and injects her signature humor into the experience.

Eliza said everyone loves a good sequel especially me if I'm the one starring in it at least that's honest also surprisingly I was told I wasn't just hired as just another pretty face and that they needed to get to work as the Jeep brands she family officer or they take away my company car.

The real question is why I posted this story five times into my script I don't remember doing that.

Bert Kreischer you're never here about him well he will be the laughing on the late comedy festival which debuts May 16th at the Ozarks ampere theater.

The laughing on the late comedy festival headline by Bert Kreischer also feature performances by Kathleen Madigan Rory Scoville Chris Porter and Shane Torres.

Casey Phillips what a character we're told Casey Phillips doesn't just play characters he shapeships through them and makes you forget it's the same person on stage.

We're told if you ever wanted to see somebody mercilessly and hilariously mock ballet especially swan lake this is the show for you Gary stars show is called classic penguins.

Something something dressed up where a lower torso and legs are those of a penguin sounds fun James bars shows called sorry I hurt your son we're reminded intimate partner violence isn't funny but apparently this show is or explains that he's chosen to tell his story of abuse because silence is traumatizing and he hopes that

his story can help others speak out if they too are suffering domestic abuse in silence.

I think that's six I'll save the rest for tomorrow but I don't want to go out on that one so I'll tell you that Langston Kerman has joined the cast of NBC's currently untitled comedy Langston Kerman plays just in royal described as a great big teddy bear of a man.

He works as a PI at an agency run by his father Julius Royal. Okay, so we have two people called royal so this is going to be called something like the royal family except I think that was a red fox show so they probably

don't use that exact title but it's clearly going to be royal something Julius Royal played by Keith David is a tough guy with someone antiquated views of the world.

Justin that's Langston's character is the main investigator at the agency alongside Mickey now who's Mickey.

Good question I should have continued reading the sentence I would have told you Mickey played by Jake Johnson not Josh Johnson Jake Johnson is a smart

heartbroken but trying to pretend he's not I misread that in my brain and I was like Josh Johnson.

I don't know who Jake Johnson is I'm sure he's lovely let's look him up Jake Johnson is an American actor he has started Nick Miller in a new girl.

Oh, that guy. All right, my daughter is going to like that show then all NBC will tell us is it continues the proud tradition of L.A.
