About this episode

Johnny Mac reports that Watertown, NY police arrested a man after he allegedly pointed a BB gun at a scooter rider who told dispatch the suspect looked like Shane Gillis, though Gillis was not involved. John Mulaney became the first comedian to sell out Wrigley Field (July 11) and joked to Deadline about watching Mark Grace. Nikki Glaser joins Netflix Animation’s Cinderella reimagining Steps as villain Priscilla alongside Ali Wong and Bette Midler. Mike Myers told Trevor Noah “Yes” about Austin Powers 4. James Corden’s Fox post-World Cup show drew 418,000 viewers. Marc Maron said he isn’t retired, is developing a film to direct, and misses some podcast-driven improvisation. Eric Andre was pulled into a WWE Raw segment and hit with a splash. Items also include Amy Schumer hosting a kids Knicks parade, late-night jokes, Des Bishop’s Hulu special, 800 Pound Gorilla’s Comedy Central Records audio deal, and new releases from Willie Mack and Kate Zazowski.
