Matthew Berry (Toast of London, What We Do in the Shadows) will be the Oscars announcer as Conan O’Brien hosts. He highlights a Variety critique arguing Stephen Colbert’s Late Show goodbye has shifted from anti-Trump resistance to an ego trip, with guests increasingly praising Colbert. Mack recaps Conan on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast, including a bit about yelling at Jason Kelce’s kids, and notes Conan’s age. He reads harsh Facebook comments on Bill Burr’s Rhode Island presales and cites a New York Times item where Joe Rogan says Trump supporters feel betrayed by the Iran war. He plugs Theo Von at Baton Rouge’s St. Patrick’s Day parade and offers “comedy stock market” picks: buy Will Ferrell, Derek Stroop, Bobby Lee, Chris Fleming; hold Conan O’Brien; plus SXSW comedy notes featuring Bill Burr and Devon Walker.<br /> <br /> <br />00:58 Oscars Announcer Hype<br />01:53 Matthew Berry Pronunciation Bit<br />02:52 Colbert Farewell Critique<br />04:25 Conan on New Heights with the Kelce brothers<br />05:47 Bill Burr Facebook Backlash<br />06:51 Rogan on Trump and War<br />07:39 Theo Von Parade Plug<br />07:59 Comedy Stock Market Picks<br />10:38 SXSW Comedy and Wrap Up<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac-a-daily-briefing-on-comedians-and-the-comedy-industry--4522158/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac-a-daily-briefing-on-comedians-and-the-comedy-industry--4522158/support</a>.<br /><br />Daily Comedy News is the number one comedy news podcast, delivering daily coverage of standup comedy, late night television, comedy specials, tours, and the business of comedy.<br /><b></b><br /><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/154526560215993" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><b>COMEDY SURVIVOR in the facebook group.</b></a><br /><br />Contact John at John@thesharkdeck dot com <br /><br />For Uninterrupted Listening, use the Apple Podcast App and click the banner that says Uninterrupted Listening.  $4.99/month <br /><br /><b><a href="https://www.mcdpod.substack.com" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">John's Substack about media is free.</a></b><br /><b></b><br /><a href="https://www.perfectimperfectionsrescue.org/donate" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><b>This is the animal sanctuary mentioned in the February 10 episode.</b></a>
