from Daily Comedy News with Johnny Mac - a daily briefing on comedians, and the comedy industry · host Daily Comedy News with Johnny Mac

Johnny Mac delivers a daily comedy news briefing, led by Colin Jost on the SmartLess podcast saying reports about the Pete Davidson ferry being a money pit are wrong, claiming events have already recouped their investment; he describes potential uses as an event/entertainment venue, docking challenges, and ideas like a middle-class swim-club concept and a seasonal Miami move. Tim Heidecker tells The Hollywood Reporter about getting involved with the Infowars situation and wanting it to become a home for curated, funded comedy creativity. Robbie Hoffman discusses relationship dynamics and splurging when traveling with her wife Gabby. The episode recaps jokes about King Charles’s U.S. visit (Kimmel, plus Charles’s own line), notes Adam Carolla and Ted Cruz defending Kimmel, and shares a New York Times detail on Colbert leaning back into politics. Johnny’s “comedy stock market” issues festival buys (Atsuko Okatsuka, Dave Chappelle, Flight of the Conchords, King Charles), plus items on Jenny Zigrino’s History Tonight, Caleb Hearon, and New Zealand Comedy Festival picks. 00:26 Jost Davidson Ferry Update01:54 Tim Heidecker Takes Infowars02:45 Robbie Hoffman Relationship Bits03:17 King Charles Visit Kimmel Jokes06:02 Kimmel Backlash Defenders06:38 Colbert Politics Pivot07:31 Josh Johnson Ballroom Jokes08:00 Comedy Stock Market Picks09:42 King Charles Funny Clip10:39 History Tonight Drag King George11:59 Cultured 100 Caleb Hearon12:37 New Zealand Comedy Fest Recs Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support.Daily Comedy News is hosted by Johnny Mac and releases every weekday.
