Nikki Glaser’s Imposter Syndrome, Fallon’s On Brand Cancelation, and Jelly Roll’s Stand-Up Debut

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 reports Nikki Glaser said she has imposter syndrome while appearing on the Night of Too Many Stars lineup with major comics and actors, calling it a dream moment where she’d rather observe than insert herself. NBC canceled Jimmy Fallon’s marketing-competition show On Brand after weak ratings and erratic scheduling, but ordered a Wordle-based game show executive produced by Fallon and hosted by Savannah Guthrie. Jimmy Kimmel will host a fifth season of Celebrity Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? on July 22. At Netflix Is a Joke, Jelly Roll asked audiences to put phones away during his stand-up debut, delivered self-deprecating jokes about nerves and weight loss, and later sang “Friends in Low Places,” with Andrew Schulz headlining and other comics appearing. Schulz announced Akaash Singh is leaving the Flagrant 2 podcast to focus on stand-up. The trailer for Kevin Hart’s 72 Hours and Hulu’s June 5 Hannah Berner special are noted, along with Carol Burnett reminiscing about learning slapstick and an interview with Toronto comedian Tyler Morrison about influences and pre-show habits.00:00 Nikki Glaser Imposter Syndrome00:51 Fallon Show Canceled01:36 Wordle Game Show Ordered02:16 Kimmel Hosts Millionaire02:41 Jelly Roll Standup Debut04:11 Akaash Leaves Flagrant04:35 Kevin Hart 72 Hours Trailer05:32 Hannah Berner Hulu Special07:12 Carol Burnett Slapstick Lessons08:13 Tyler Morrison Comedy Talk 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.
