Norm Macdonald Netflix Doc, Jimmy Kimmel Rumors, and John Cleese vs BBC Cuts 

Johnny Mac previews Netflix’s Norm: The Tale of Norm Macdonald (premiering Friday, Oct. 16, directed by Judd Apatow), described as an archival-footage documentary tracing Norm’s rise on Weekend Update and legacy as a “comedian’s comedian.” He notes Chris Fleming’s Emmy frustration bit and jokes about handing NBC’s 12:30 slot to Fleming. He covers Anthony Jeselnik launching a book club podcast on Bill Simmons’ network, plays a Jo Koy weather-segment clip, and revisits backlash to Koy’s Taylor Swift Golden Globes joke while mentioning criticism of Swift’s new song. He discusses conflicting reports about Jimmy Kimmel’s future at ABC, John Cleese’s criticism of the BBC over pulled Mitchell and Webb sketches, and debate over whether Ali G perpetuates stereotypes, including comments from writer Colton Dunn. He shares a listener’s Iceland hot-dog challenge success, teases Bowen Yang promoting skincare, and notes Ken Jeong  buying the A's.   00:16 Norm Macdonald Doc Preview 00:50 Trailer Highlights Reel 02:55 Why Norm Still Matters 03:06 Chris Fleming Emmy Rant 04:13 Jeselnik Book Club Podcast 04:40 Jo Koy Weather Chaos Clip 07:24 Jo Koy Taylor Swift Joke 07:51 Jimmy Kimmel Exit Rumors 08:29 John Cleese vs BBC Cuts 10:31 Ali G Racism Debate 11:25 Iceland Hot Dog Challenge 12:04 Bowen Yang Skincare Ad 12:57 SNL Stars Leaving Too Soon 13:14 Ken Jeong Buys Into A's   Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support.
