Bert Kreischer Baseball Backlash, Bill Maher’s Mark Twain Prize, and Hannah Gadsby’s Sock Puppet

Johnny Mac delivers a Saturday Daily Comedy News briefing featuring late-night jokes about the Army’s enlistment age increase and ICE agents being sent to airports, with riffs from Seth Meyers, Josh Johnson, Jimmy Kimmel, and Jon Stewart. He covers negative reactions to Bert Kreischer’s appearance during Netflix’s MLB opening-day coverage, including Dan Le Batard’s criticism and social media complaints. Mac confirms Bill Maher will receive the Mark Twain Prize after earlier White House denial, citing administration comments and Jeffrey Goldberg’s response. He shares comments from Mark Normand about his rapid-fire Netflix special and release timing, and Nate Bargatze discussing problem drinking insights inspired by Rob Lowe. Other items include Kevin James being spotted at a Kentucky Kroger, PaleyFest LA announcing a Scrubs cast event, Mac’s near car mix-up, and Hannah Gadsby explaining the sock-puppet format of Wolf, views on spoilers, fandom, and a Melbourne festival late-night-host concept. 00:17 Late Night Jokes Roundup01:21 Bert on Baseball Backlash02:42 Bill Maher Twain Prize05:24 Mark Normand on Netflix06:48 Nate Bargatze on Addiction07:43 Kevin James at Kroger08:25 Scrubs Update and PaleyFest09:02 My Car Almost Stolen10:08 Hannah Gadsby Sock Puppet11:30 Spoilers and Taylor Swift12:37 Melbourne Fest and WrapBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support.Daily Comedy News with Johnny Mac is a daily podcast covering comedians, stand-up comedy, late night television, and the comedy industry.
