Stephen Colbert’s Late Show Finale and Chelsea Handler vs. Shane Gillis (Catch-Up from Edinburgh)

Johnny Mac records a catch-up episode of Daily Comedy News from a street corner on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile after visiting Edinburgh Castle and attending the Podcast Show London. He recaps Stephen Colbert hosting the final episode of The Late Show from the Ed Sullivan Theater, sharing Colbert’s remarks about doing over 1,800 shows, calling it “The Joy Machine,” reflecting on “feeling the news,” and joking about show history and a “first drafts” bit; the final guest was Sir Paul McCartney. Johnny also covers a brewing comedy controversy: Chelsea Handler criticized Shane Gillis and Tony Hinchcliffe’s roast material on Deon Cole’s podcast, calling it gross, racist, sexist, and bigoted, citing lynching and jokes about Sheryl Underwood’s late husband; Gillis responded online and plugged a Philadelphia stadium show, and Underwood said some jokes went too far.00:18 Colbert Final Show Tribute02:02 Ed Sullivan Farewell Bits03:36 Final Guest Paul McCartney04:23 Shane Gillis Chelsea Handler Roast Drama05:32 Royal Mile Travel Wrap Become 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.
