Johnny Mac covers Jason Zinoman’s New York Times piece asking what is lost as CBS cancels The Late Show, arguing it ends not just Stephen Colbert’s run but an institution with a tradition of emotional late-night farewells, noting The Late Show will outlast the Carson era of The Tonight Show and recalling the Letterman–Leno rivalry and Colbert’s current-events counterprogramming versus Jimmy Fallon’s lighter approach. Other items include Nikki Glaser announced as headliner for the University of Florida’s Gator Growl on Friday, October 9, and Chelsea Handler on Howie Mandel’s podcast criticizing modern dating while saying she prefers not being tethered to one person. Mac also reacts to a GQ profile of SNL’s Marcelo Hernandez, cites Late Nighter odds on SNL Season 52 cast changes, and shares John McGinley’s ideas and comments about the Scrubs revival, including a proposed Hugh Jackman gag and Dr. Cox’s storyline.<br /><br />00:00 Colbert Show Ending<br />00:45 Late Show Legacy<br />02:06 Letterman Leno Rivalry<br />03:17 Colbert Counterprogramming<br />04:07 Nikki Glaser Gator Growl<br />04:29 Chelsea Handler Dating<br />05:17 Marcelo Hernandez in GQ<br />06:51 SNL Season 52 Odds<br />07:19 Scrubs Revival Pitch<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>
