Facebook group which is daily comedy News podcast group if you can't wait till Sunday also a reminder Saturday I'll have John Marco cessi who is one of the 20 comedians you should know they keep dripping out information about Ellen's new special Ellen degenerous for your approval we Premiere globally on September 24th on Netflix in a statement Ellen said to answer the questions everyone is asking me yes I'm going to talk about it yes this is my last special yes Porsche really is that pretty in real life Netflix tells us the final comedy special of her historic career Ellen gets personal and reveals what she's been doing since being kicked out of Show Business from the mundane world of raising chickens and parallel parking to the harsh realities of becoming a brand name celebrity she goes deep into her stand-up roots and brings laugh through life's most real and absurd realities I always found her standup to be pretty good you may recall the Ellen degenerous show ended in 2022 after nearly 20 years on the air its finale came after a series of reports detailing allegations of racism sexual misconduct and intimidation on set Hulu is not messing around they've now lined up oo at Katka she'll have a special on Hulu no date yet no title yet but she will tape it at the El capiton theater in Hollywood on Saturday November 9th this part of her full grown tour which kicks off on September 13th includes 20 dates across the US and Canada I think she's fantastic you should go see her Osco said as a company that pioneered cartoons it was only a matter of time until they asked to work with me I mean look at me I Rock a bull cut and wear bright colors I am Toontown excited to bring good times and shenanigans to the people of the world with the Disney Hulu family peacock announced that Colin Jo and Michael Chay present New York after dark will stream September 12th at 9:00 p.m. Eastern it'll feature a rotation of the pair's favorite New York City Club Comics along with fresh faces and likely some familiar ones as well so that's interesting right that's more of them hosting an evening than doing comedy themselves we'll keep an eye on that that Saturday night movie made its Premiere in toride people seem to really like it deadline wrote a top director once told me 90% of the success of movies is casting if you get that right you're on your way if that's the case then Saturday night director and co-writer Jason wman nailed it and then some with a killer Ensemble of more than 80 speaking roles helping to bring the life to film this is a masterful movie comedy firing on all cylinders wow I'm excited to see this one with no time to breathe and its tight 103 minute running time I have to do some math here so that's uh 60 and 43 an hour 43 Johnny Mack thinks the perfect movie is about an hour 39 but 103 minutes that's good Brightman is mine comic gold and telling the incredible tale of how producer Lauren Michaels navigated a nervous Network bruised OS and an unpredictable cast blah blah blah the clock ticked down to 11:30 when it still wasn't certain believe it or not that NBC would press the button for its first SNL or the Johnny Carson tonight's show rerun they had ready to go in its place some of the cast stand outs according to deadline Cory Michael Smith's spot on Chevy Chase Lamor Morris's Garrett Morris no relation Matt Woods John balushi Nick bronze roles of both Jim Hansen and Andy calman wonder why they did that that's an odd choice to have him play two different roles right and some others including a chilling Pitch Perfect JK Simmons as Milton Burl Simmons Nails Burl's visit to the set had missed all the chaos and a brief but Unforgettable turn that has to be seen to be believed and that includes uh a thing there's a fun fact about Milton Burl I like to keep the show clean uh but it's a big fact people know this big fact about Milton Burl legendary the big fact Rolling Stone said Saturday night turns the SNL origin story into a late night Bad News Bears the stone writes part sloppy and overly reverent tribute part hilarious 1970s gross out romp and an allout assault to recreate the adrenaline rush of produc using that inaugural SNL Jason wman Saturday night seeks to bring folks back blah blah blah la Michaels keeps the ship together meanwhile Chevy Chase is already being corded as a breakout star with a bright future Dan akroy is flirting with every female in sight and carrying on a not so secret relationship with Rosie lorine Newman is neurotic Jean curtain is ironic and waspish and Gilda rner is adorable and Daffy it's all admittedly funny and nerve jangling with the comedians mugging and the pressure mounting and the chances of Michael's dream of a show made for the generation who grew up on TV by the generation who grew up on TV actually caring slipping away minute by ticked off minute the movie also heads to a foregone conclusion imagine an underdog story about a group of rtech baseball players who you already know will eventually turn out to be the 1927 New York Yankees anyway that sounds like it's going to be fun all right Bert ker was walking around a Right Aid in Los Angeles uh I guess he found the shelves pretty empty he tweeted a video and yes the shelves are pretty empty uh here's what bird crer had to say I had to make several Clips to get rid of some bombs but you'll get the idea this is Los Angeles everything is gone look at this there our deodorant I think this place is going I mean this looks like looks like it's been looted and I guess thieves just come in and take whatever is expensive and just walk out with it this is crazy uh this is unrecognizable when I move to Los Angeles you comeing around Friday and you spend the afternoon looking around this is so sad this is Los Angeles on gosip Corner Adam Sandler his wife and daughter D at Goldberg's World Famous Deli in Milbourne I saw this story in one of the local papers and I'm like world famous it's not even the most famous deli in mbird I mean I'm sure the locals somebody's going to argue this but I always hear about the Milburn Deli which is not Goldberg's World Famous Deli anyway Sandler was at Goldberg's according to owner Chris they came in and walked up to my wife and she gasped in Surprise and let out a wow she thought she was keeping her surprise on the inside but she was not who'd be able to they were so nice to everyone and as soon as they walked in the entire Deli just lit up in Joy everyone was smiling and just so happy to have such a fun family joining us for a meal Sandler was happy to take selfies with guests and staff Adam's been in my uh greater local neighborhood he hasn't been like next door but he's been pretty close to where I live uh filming Happy Gilmore 2 Chris the owner has a message for Adam Sandler it is Adam if you're reading this all the best in making the world laugh and smile once again on your latest Endeavor Happy Gilmore 2 all right I finally got around to watching Adam Sandler's comedy special I know I'm a week late on this but you know we talk about Sandler enough here you're probably like Johnny Mack did you like it did you hate it you hate it you hate everything right Johnny Mac well I'll tell you what I liked it let me break it apart the uh safty stuff at the beginning where they kind of shot out like a movie and Adam pulls up in a car and we follow Adam walking to the club and people ask him to sign stuff I really like that I thought it was interesting uh I kind of hate the way most comedy specials open and wish it would just be like ladies and gentlemen Joe comedian and the comedian comes out but you know a lot of these specials have to have these forced opens I kind of like that this one was stylized that said during the set proper the fake stuff like the random dog or Adam pretending that the venue isn't good even though it's a fake venue uh you know and pretending there's technical problems and all that it just didn't work for me maybe if I didn't know it was fake I would have been like oh that's interesting that they left that in but it just it didn't work at all for me I watched it in two chunks Friday night I was kind of tired had a really busy week last week and I kind of liked the low Keen of it Adam was kind of chill and I I was into it my wife came by with the laundry basket because as I've told you 100% of the time if I'm watching a comedy special she will come by about 37 minutes in and sure enough she did and she was was like is that Adam Sandler yeah I thought you don't like Adam Sandler and I said I don't but I have a comedy podcast that said I liked it and then I was like how much more of this and there was still like another 40 minutes so I I went on to do something else but Saturday night I went back in and watched more of it the second half I kind of got bored uh there was more of the Sandler songs in there and his songs are just really dumb and I know they're supposed to be dumb but they're the same thing over and over he just sings like four lines of a normal song and then says something ridiculous at the end gets the laugh line and the song falls apart they're not even like complete thoughts it's just like roses are red violets are blue let me say something absurd so you laugh now and it's that same formula over and over uh Rob Schneider came out as Elvis and I had to fast forward through that I couldn't even do it and then uh some people have said the song at the end is very poignant Adam sings like a 10-minute song about other comedies in the history of comedy and famous comedians and he's got a clip show behind him and it's designed to make you clap and designed to make you feel good and it just felt really forced to me uh John it doesn't sound like you like the special I did like the special it just it's got a lot of problems I'm going to add it to the list of best of the year it'll probably be the last thing on the list however long it gets but it makes it I appreciate when someone tries to do something like what came to mind is Kevin James last special not trying to do anything that was just dumb um Sandler Here is trying to do something I'm not sure if worked but I appreciate it if that makes any sense uh so it's not in the top tier at all it's in my second tier on a rather long list now and it'll probably be the last but yeah I liked it okay Adam Sandler i trash you a lot I I deal Fair here and if we look back now since huie Halloween you've done uncut gems and hustle the basketball movie and the space one and you've had two specials one of which I liked maybe I'm coming around on Adam Sandler or maybe I don't know I also watch Greg Fitz Simmons special on YouTube that is going to make the list as well it'll be in the second tier but at the top of the second tier what I found interesting about it is it's 80% really funny but also 20% really hack it's a weird mix when he's on he's on he definitely reminds me of Portman's Bill Burr and then he'll do some hacky material and I'm like really dude that's like awful which one did I like better Fitz Simmons is better than Sandler for sure I have not watched Phil Wang yet that was my plan for Tuesday night so I'm sure my wife is planning on doing laundry about 37 minutes after I hit play on Phil Wang chal Saw It spoilers coming up here they gave It spoilers are you gone okay three and a half stars out of five Phil Wang opens with the main difference between white people and Chinese people straight out of the gate doesn't even say hello but Jal tells us don't expect any hack material or edgy race based content from this mild mannered comedian later he tackles the n-word in rap lyrics and the concerns most non-black people have in singing along his solution takes potential offense and makes it cozy typical of a comedian so physically soft he confesses to injuring himself on bread complaints about having to do everything himself when flying seem lightweight but end with a more distinctive payoff calmly dismissing a task that he doesn't want to take on it's the closest the composed comic ever gets to snapping Phil Wang wanging there baby Netflix and that is your comedy news for today if you enjoy the program tell a friend about it could follow me on Twitter at dcnp pod follow me on threads where I got the proper at
