DCN Live: Nate Bargatze “MAGA Comedian” Controversy Expands; Shane Gillis Beer Mystery Solved

At the lake, Johnny Mac jokes about the “non-controversy controversy” around clean comedian Nate Bargatze after The Daily Beast repeatedly called him “MAGA comedian Nate Bargatze,” a label now echoed by mainstream Parade Magazine, which cites his reported $77.5M 2025 earnings and backlash over photos of him attending President Donald Trump’s White House UFC Freedom 250 fight, including criticism from W. Kamau Bell and mixed fan reactions. The episode also corrects a viral claim that Shane Gillis drank Dos Equis at the event, saying TMZ reports he was drinking Bud Light and the Dos Equis belonged to someone nearby. Finally, it notes Ricky Gervais told Saga Magazine he may eventually marry longtime partner Jane Fallon primarily to reduce taxes.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support.Today's DCN is brought to you by MyBookie use promo code DCN!Daily Comedy News is hosted by Johnny Mac and releases every weekday.
