"MAGA Comedian" Nate Bargatze's new Netflix special

Johnny Mac covers The Daily Beast’s framing of Nate Bargatze as a “MAGA comedian” ahead of his fourth Netflix hour, Good For Nathan, out November 24, referencing photos of him with Trump allies at a White House lawn UFC event. Stavros Halkias says UFC’s pro-Trump posture has dampened his enjoyment of MMA, though he still sometimes watches. Gianmarco Soresi announces his first solo Netflix special, God Forbid, filmed at Chicago’s Thalia Hall and focused on marriage, fatherhood, religion substitutes, and mental health, arriving December 3. Colin Jost appears in a Mary Kay holiday campaign ad. The episode then details Russell Brand being found guilty of rape and sexual assault, facing sentencing and further investigation, with reactions from Katherine Ryan and comedian Katie Brand, plus past Trump tweets about Brand. It closes with New York Comedy Festival highlights including Stand Up for Heroes and “Wrong! An F’d Up Game Show.”   00:16 Nate Bargatze Netflix Backlash 01:25 Stavros Slams UFC Politics 02:30 Gianmarco Soresi Netflix Debut 03:33 Colin Jost Mary Kay Ad 04:20 Russell Brand Guilty Verdict 05:34 Katherine Ryan Reacts 06:39 Industry Enablers Speak Out 07:57 Trump Katy Perry Tweets 08:56 NY Comedy Festival Picks 09:20 Stand Up for Heroes Highlight 09:48 Weird Game Show and Signoff Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support. 🎄 DCN every day, no ads, for the whole family: Caloroga+ on Apple Podcasts is $49.99 a year and shares with up to 6 people.
