Johnny Mac previews Saturday Night Live with host Will Ferrell and musical guest Paul McCartney amid speculation about whether Lorne Michaels is leaving, and discusses Chris Rock on the Fly on the Wall podcast saying he had “beef” with Tupac because they dated the same women, raising renewed interest due to Tupac’s connection to Jada and her past claim that Rock once asked her out. He explores the possibility of Ringo Starr joining McCartney on SNL, citing their new duet “Home to Us,” and recounts Lorne’s 1976 on-air offer to pay The Beatles $3,000 to reunite. Other updates include Jeff Ross saying Hart’s roast could have been McCartney’s, The Rolling Stones’ upcoming album Foreign Tongues (out July 10) with McCartney among guests, Fallon bits with the band, Kevin Hart’s Michelob ULTRA World Cup 2026 fan job, Ron Taylor’s Netflix special status, Obama teasing an HBO Larry David project (June 26), renewals for The Paper and Reggie Dinkins, a Brett Goldstein Prime Video rom-com, and Jon Stewart drumming with Church and State.<br /> <br />00:20 Chris Rock Tupac Jada<br />01:16 SNL Lorne Speculation<br />01:29 Ferrell McCartney Cold Open<br />02:39 Beatles Reunion Possibility<br />04:14 McCartney Roast What If<br />04:35 Stones New Album Conan<br />05:28 Fallon Bit With Jagger<br />06:15 Kevin Hart World Cup Job<br />07:10 Ron Taylor Netflix Update<br />08:27 Obama Produces Larry David<br />09:06 TV Renewals New Shows<br />10:01 Jon Stewart Plays Drums<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>
