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

Description

<br />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.<br /><br />00:00 Nikki Glaser Imposter Syndrome<br />00:51 Fallon Show Canceled<br />01:36 Wordle Game Show Ordered<br />02:16 Kimmel Hosts Millionaire<br />02:41 Jelly Roll Standup Debut<br />04:11 Akaash Leaves Flagrant<br />04:35 Kevin Hart 72 Hours Trailer<br />05:32 Hannah Berner Hulu Special<br />07:12 Carol Burnett Slapstick Lessons<br />08:13 Tyler Morrison Comedy Talk<br /> <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>
