Marc Maron recorded 1,686 episodes of WTF with Marc Maron. For the final one, he went back to Barack Obama, the guest whose 2015 visit to Maron's garage became a defining moment in podcast history.In this Comedy Deep Dive, Johnny Mac tells the story of Marc Maron and WTF, from Maron's turbulent years in stand-up and radio to launching a podcast out of his garage and becoming one of comedy's most important interviewers.We revisit the unlikely rise of WTF, Maron's reputation for being brilliant, combative and occasionally difficult, his years at Air America, and the interview style that separated WTF from the traditional celebrity publicity circuit. These weren't five-minute junket conversations. Maron talked about failure, addiction, jealousy, depression, careers, relationships and comedy, often getting famous guests to tell stories they hadn't told anywhere else.There's the extraordinary Robin Williams conversation that was eventually selected for preservation by the National Recording Registry. There's President Barack Obama arriving at Maron's garage with the Secret Service in 2015, a moment that helped demonstrate how powerful podcasting had become. And there's Obama again, a decade later, sitting down with Maron for the final WTF.The story also includes Maron's sobriety, the devastating loss of filmmaker Lynn Shelton, his From Bleak to Dark comedy special, the documentary Are We Good?, his acting career, and why WTF became something that countless podcasters tried to imitate but could never quite reproduce.After sixteen years, hundreds of millions of downloads and conversations with many of the biggest names in comedy and entertainment, Marc Maron decided he was done.So what exactly did WTF change?Questions this Comedy Deep Dive answers: Why did Marc Maron end WTF? How did WTF with Marc Maron begin? Why did Marc Maron record a podcast in his garage? What made Marc Maron's interview style different? Why was the Robin Williams WTF interview so important? What happened when Barack Obama visited Marc Maron's garage? Why was Obama appearing on WTF a landmark moment for podcasting? How did WTF influence comedy podcasts? Who was the final guest on WTF with Marc Maron? And why was WTF so difficult to imitate?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support.Today's DCN is brought to you by MyBookie use promo code DCN!Daily Comedy News is hosted by Johnny Mac and releases every weekday.

Johnny Mac covers an interview with Carlos Mencia, who faces 12 LA County felony tax-evasion counts, has pled not guilty, and says he never “evaded,” expects past tax years to be filed soon, and titled his tour “Keep Me Out of Jail,” while reflecting on joke-stealing fallout, Joe Rogan's role in amplifying it, and a decade of therapy about being a jerk. Chris Rock tells Variety he winters in LA, calling it a complicated place where fame has shifted from greatness to notoriety and where “dreams” drive extreme behavior. Robby Hoffman tells NPR she's still figuring out what's off-limits, discusses backlash over jokes about non-binary people, recalls bombing her first set, and says she'd host a late-night show. Other items include Stavros Halkias's Vulture Q&A, Matthew Broussard on Cajun-Jewish heritage and Citi Bike station goals, Travis Kelce praising Adam Sandler, and a Toronto Guardian profile of comedian Dustin Searcy. 00:13 Mencia Tax Case Update00:38 Tour Name and Backstory01:57 Not Guilty Explanation02:29 Cancel Culture and Rogan04:23 Therapy and Accountability05:04 Chris Rock on Los Angeles05:57 Robby Hoffman Boundaries07:04 Stavros Breakfast Confession07:47 No Comedy Stock Market08:09 Matthew Broussard Heritage09:23 Kelce Praises Sandler09:38 Toronto Comic Spotlight10:55 Wrap Up and TomorrowBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support.Today's DCN is brought to you by MyBookie use promo code DCN!Daily Comedy News is hosted by Johnny Mac and releases every weekday.

Johnny Mac recaps daily comedy news after falling behind due to jury duty, focusing on the Emmys and Stephen Colbert's appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. He highlights a widely shared John Mulaney Emmys bit about male TV actors and reads a passage from Frank Vincent's A Guy's Guide to Being a Man's Man. Colbert wins an Emmy for The Late Show's final year and uses his speech to credit writers and encourage hiring his staff; he later visits Kimmel, jokes about CBS, gets his beard shaved on-air, and gives Kimmel a Captain America shield from The Late Show set to mount permanently. Mac runs through other Emmys notes, riffs that Bob's Burgers doesn't exist, mentions Marcelo Hernandez's Emmys moment, John Oliver joking about turning 50, the Pete Davidson/Colin Jost Snapple Island Ferry comedy event, Kevin Hart and Henry Cavill filming a Netflix spy movie possibly titled The Serpent and the Snake, upcoming podcast episodes, thoughts on Jo Koy's new special, and details about Tires and comedian Evan Dubois. 00:10 Mulaney Emmy Monologue03:34 Colbert Emmy Win Speech05:49 Colbert Visits Kimmel08:03 More Emmy Winners Recap08:31 Bob Burgers Hoax Bit09:37 Marcelo Hernandez Emmy Moment11:30 John Oliver Turns 5011:48 Snapple Ferry Comedy Club13:04 Kevin Hart Spy Movie14:03 Show Schedule Updates14:24 Jo Koy Special Review15:30 Tires and Steve Gerben17:19 Toronto Comic Evan Dubois18:06 Wrap Up and Sign OffBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support.Today's DCN is brought to you by MyBookie use promo code DCN!Daily Comedy News is hosted by Johnny Mac and releases every weekday.

Johnny Mac cold-reads and reacts to Rolling Stone's “50 Best Stand-Up Comics of All Time” list from Feb. 14, 2017, noting the magazine's modern-stand-up criteria and reassessing choices nearly a decade later. He questions or comments on many rankings (including Wanda Sykes, Aziz Ansari, Reggie Watts, Tig Notaro, Patton Oswalt, Jonathan Winters, Mitch Hedberg, and others), flags some comics as forgotten, and highlights entries like Gary Shandling, Dick Gregory, Redd Foxx, Rodney Dangerfield, Eddie Murphy, and Dave Chappelle. He discusses the complications of figures like Woody Allen, Bill Cosby, and Louis C.K., and explains that Louis C.K.'s cancellation came after the list. He concludes that a current list would differ, citing names like John Mulaney and Nate Bargatze and noting omissions such as Jim Gaffigan.

Jerry Seinfeld was asked which joke he'd send to aliens to represent all of comedy. He picked Rodney Dangerfield. Johnny Mac looks at why — the no-respect premise as a structural achievement, the rapid-fire construction that makes the jokes work even when you already know them, the 31-year comedy club on the Upper East Side that launched Seinfeld, Roseanne Barr, Sam Kinison and Robert Schimmel, the Caddyshack role that was written for Don Rickles, and the honest question of whether the film fame softened the thing that made the early club material great. Rodney Dangerfield built jokes the way a watchmaker builds watches. It's worth understanding how."Why was Rodney Dangerfield so funny?" – "What did Jerry Seinfeld say about Rodney Dangerfield?" – "What is Rodney Dangerfield's best joke?" – "What was Dangerfield's comedy club in New York?" – "Who did Rodney Dangerfield help early in their career?" – "What was Rodney Dangerfield's real name?" – "Did Don Rickles almost play Al Czervik in Caddyshack?" – "Why isn't Rodney Dangerfield talked about more?" – "What made Rodney Dangerfield's comedy style unique?" – "Who performed at Dangerfield's comedy club?"Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support.Today's DCN is brought to you by MyBookie use promo code DCN!Daily Comedy News is hosted by Johnny Mac and releases every weekday.

On September 17, 2001, David Letterman came back and didn't do a monologue. Jon Stewart came back the same night and cried on camera before becoming recognizably himself again. SNL came back September 29 with Lorne Michaels asking Rudy Giuliani if it was okay to be funny, and Giuliani delivering the best line of the night. Bill Maher said something true at the wrong moment and lost his show. Gilbert Gottfried made a 9/11 joke at the Friar's Club three weeks later, got booed, and pivoted into the Aristocrats and won the room back. Johnny Mac — a New Yorker who was there — traces how comedy came back after the attacks, what it cost the people who pushed too early, and what the whole episode tells you about what comedy is actually for.What did David Letterman say when he came back after 9/11?"– "What did Jon Stewart say on The Daily Show after 9/11?"– "What was the SNL cold open after 9/11?"– "Why was Bill Maher fired after 9/11?"– "What did Gilbert Gottfried do at the Friar's Club after 9/11?"– "When did late night shows come back after 9/11?"– "What did Rudy Giuliani say on SNL after 9/11?"– "How did comedy change after 9/11?"– "What was the first 9/11 joke told by a comedian?"– "Did the Comedy Cellar stay open after 9/11?"Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support.Today's DCN is brought to you by MyBookie use promo code DCN!Daily Comedy News is hosted by Johnny Mac and releases every weekday.

Eighty-five million people watched the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon at its peak in 1976. Almost every significant American comedian performed on it at some point. Don Rickles insulted Lewis to his face at Caesars Palace in 1982 — you can watch it on YouTube. Jerry Seinfeld appeared in 1995 at the height of Seinfeld.
