Nikki Glaser’s $250,000 Gig and the Sushi She Asked For PLUS John Mulaney Gets Smart

Nikki Glaser’s reported $250,000 Gator Growl contract came with a very specific request: Whole Foods sushi. Johnny Mac goes through the University of Florida gig’s backstage rider, from cucumber rolls and peanut M&M’s to gold and silver Sharpies. Then he gets his own M&M’s and spills them on the floor. John Mulaney explains why he wants to play an overconfident spy in a Get Smart reboot, and Johnny Mac wonders how much anyone remembers about the Steve Carell version. Tony Hinchcliffe takes a seat at PokerStars’ Big Game on Tour, and Matt Rife explains how he makes an arena feel like a theater and why he skips topical jokes. Plus: Tuesday’s New York Comedy Festival lineup, Patton Oswalt’s first Conan set that he was too nervous to remember, and how an email to Zainab Johnson led Jessie Lee to her first stand-up set. Hear more about Conan in the separate Is Late Night Dead? feed.
