Johnny Mac covers comedy industry news, focusing first on Nikki Glaser hosting the Time 100 event and questioning whether she bombed, noting the crowd wasn’t mic’d well and suggesting a “cool Hollywood” room may have been reluctant to laugh; he plays a trimmed clip of her monologue, including jokes about publicists, the list, Victoria Beckham, and Gayle King/Katy Perry. He also shares awkward clips from Glaser on Kelly Ripa where her short skirt is mentioned and they discuss her Time cover. Deadline’s ongoing reporting on Netflix Is a Joke frames the festival as “haves and have-nots,” citing many big names (Shane Gillis, Louis C.K., John Mulaney, Katt Williams, Nate Bargatze, Seinfeld/Leanne Morgan, Jim Gaffigan) with unsold tickets while smaller buzzy comics sell out smaller venues. Mac reviews Kevin Hart’s “Funny AF” competition format and discusses “Emperor of Rome syndrome,” then briefly praises Ramy Youssef’s special and quotes Ramy and David Cross on crafting sets and not catering to algorithms. Gossip items include a Giants manager attending Dave Chappelle at The Punchline and Chappelle commissioning a beeswax sculpture, plus Patton Oswalt voicing Stephen King’s upcoming Talisman-trilogy audiobook.<br /><br />00:23 Nikki Glaser Bombing<br />01:05 Time 100 Monologue<br />03:40 Kelly Ripa Awkwardness<br />05:25 Netflix Is a Joke Sales<br />06:56 Kevin Hart Competition<br />08:47 Ramy Youssef Special<br />10:00 David Cross Approach<br />10:54 Gossip Corner Chappelle<br />12:16 Chappelle Art Find<br />12:40 Patton Oswalt Audiobook<br />13:08 Wrap Up Tomorrow<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>
