Robby Hoffman, Chris Fleming and Hannah Gadsy. Quirky Sunday!

Johnny Mac shares Sunday Comedy News highlights, noting his recent conversation with Pete Holmes and an upcoming “Comedy Survivor” episode. He recaps a Washington Post profile of Robby Hoffman, including her avoidance of TikTok, her move from accounting to writing on “The Chris Gethard Show,” her path to appearing on “Hacks,” and her involvement in “Rooster,” a Bill Lawrence HBO project starring Steve Carell and also featuring John C. McGinley. He covers major profiles of Chris Fleming (New York Times and Vulture), describing Fleming’s densely layered, physical, bruising stage style and mentions an interview with Conan O’Brien. He summarizes Hannah Gadsby telling the Post they’ve stepped back from Netflix to take creative risks, promoting “Woof” as free online audio with a 20-minute animated sock-puppet video, and discussing fame, shifting audiences, and large venues.
