Conan O'Brien discusses with the New Yorker Radio Hour the murders of Rob and Michelle Reiner, reflecting on seeing them at his party the day they were killed, and notes Nick Reiner's not-guilty plea in LA Superior Court with an April 29 court date; Nick Reiner faces two murder counts with an enhancement that could bring the death penalty or life without parole and is held without bail at Twin Towers.Conan also comments on Stephen Colbert being angry about the situation around his show, the impact on staff, and broader issues of voices being silenced, while noting he's enjoyed opportunities after leaving late night.Colbert is scheduled to be live after tonight's State of the Union. The episode highlights new specials: Taylor Tomlinson's fourth Netflix hour “Prodigal Daughter,” filmed at Fountain Street Church in Grand Rapids and covering topics including coming out as bisexual, faith, religious trauma, sexuality, and fear of death; and Pete Holmes' “Silly, Silly, Fun Boy” premiering on the 800 Pound Gorilla YouTube channel, plus mention of Matt Rife and Paul Elia's “Low Key” special.Brian Posehn tells Northern Public Radio he's always been an alternative comic and comments on today's comedy climate as a ‘revenge of the jocks.'Jim Jefferies explains his political positioning between Australia and the U.S., criticizes religion in politics, says most people are moderates, and says he's glad he isn't hosting a topical show in 2026, preferring to do a multicam sitcom.Jenny Zigrino discusses fundraising for her new special “After Birth,” the financial pressures of algorithms and social media, how her 2017 Comedy Central special paid $20,000, how she used GoFundMe for a later special that Comedy Central released in 2023, and how platforms like Facebook can pay comedians but require constant posting; she says Netflix won't look at you without 500,000+ followers. Jim Breuer criticizes American Airlines, saying he was removed from a paid first-class seat on a Honolulu-to-Phoenix flight to accommodate a commuting pilot, calling it theft; reports say he received a $400 refund and a $500 voucher and his request to speak to someone went unanswered. Johnny notes a surprise bonus episode with Mike Chisholm from the Letterman Podcast, updates on the Comedy Survivor Facebook group after a mini controversy and Jim Gaffigan being voted out, lists remaining comedians, reads a listener email comparing his voice to Maynard James Keenan, and shares press comments from Joel McHale and Dennis Leary, including Leary's interest in doing a musical and McHale's joke about Netflix airing only ‘Animal Control' and not Leary's show. 00:26 Conan on Reiner Tragedy01:25 Late Night Pressure Talk02:26 Tonight's Specials Lineup04:10 Jim Jefferies Politics Split05:26 Jenny Zigrino Algorithm Grind06:53 Jim Breuer Airline Caper09:58 Bonus Episode and Survivor11:41 Listener Voice Comparison13:35 Leary and McHale Press Bits Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support.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.COMEDY SURVIVOR in the facebook group.Contact John at John@thesharkdeck dot com For Uninterrupted Listening, use the Apple Podcast App and click the banner that says Uninterrupted Listening.  $4.99/month John's Substack about media is free.This is the animal sanctuary mentioned in the February 10 episode.

AITA: For charging my sister for making her wedding cake? DIRT ALERT: Conan O'Brien opens up about Reiner death, we talk to Renay Dossman about the myTalk Restaurant Rescue Fund, and the world is obsessed with Punch the monkeySee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Conan O'Brien broke his silence on the murders of Rob and Michele Reiner, saying he had seen them hours before their deaths, praising Rob's legacy, and expressing shock as their son Nick faces charges amid questions about his mental health and possible drug involvement. A baby macaque named Punch went viral after videos showed him being bullied at a Japanese zoo and clinging to a stuffed toy for comfort, sparking global sympathy, celebrity attention, and even a $250,000 purchase offer as updates suggest he is slowly being accepted. Plus, Thai police dressed in a red lion dance costume during Lunar New Year celebrations to arrest a suspected thief accused of stealing valuable Buddhist artefacts, with the dramatic sting operation quickly going viral online.

Hosting the Academy Awards ceremony is a notoriously tricky gig, but Conan O'Brien nailed it in 2025, and he will return for this year's event. Since leaving late-night television, in 2021, O'Brien has been busy: his hit podcast “Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend” commands perhaps a larger audience than he had on late night; he launched the travel series “Conan O'Brien Must Go”; and he's played a therapist in the 2025 film “If I Had Legs I'd Kick You.” O'Brien talks with David Remnick about the things that have gone wrong at the Oscars; why he won't get too “sentimental” about the gradual collapse of late night; and his shock at the deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner, who had been at O'Brien's house on the night they were killed.  New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday. Join host David Remnick as he discusses the latest in politics, news, and current events in conversation with political leaders, newsmakers, innovators, New Yorker staff writers, authors, actors, and musicians.

Sinners received 16 nominations; a record-breaking nomination count for the most in Academy Awards history. The supernatural thriller received nominations for best picture; director (Ryan Coogler); actor (Michael B. Jordan); supporting actress (Wunmi Mosaku); actor in a supporting role (Delroy Lindo); and original screenplay. Timothée Chalamet is 30 years and 26 days old, Chalamet just became the youngest male actor to receive three Oscar nominations since Marlon Brando, who achieved this feat at age 29 in 1954. Steven Spielberg has broken his own record for the most Oscar nominations as a producer, bringing his total to 14 with the nomination for Best Picture for the film "Hamnet." One Battle After Another received 13 nods, including Best Picture.The Snubs:The Cold Shoulder: The Biggest Snubs of the 2026 Oscar NominationsThe Wicked Witch of the West... Gone?The biggest shocker of the morning has to be the complete erasure of Wicked: For Good. Just last year, the first installment picked up 10 nominations. This year? Zero. Zilch.Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, who were both nominated for the first film, were completely shut out of the acting categories. Even the music branch turned its back on the franchise, ignoring the two new songs written specifically for the film. It seems the magic ran out for the sequel.Paul Mescal's Shakespearean TragedyIf you were betting on Paul Mescal picking up a nomination for playing William Shakespeare in Hamnet, you lost money today. While the film itself did well—and his co-star Jessie Buckley secured a nomination—Mescal was noticeably absent from the list. It's a tough break for an actor who has been a darling of the awards circuit lately.The Strange Case of Chase InfinitiHere is a genuine head-scratcher: One Battle After Another is a massive favorite, racking up 13 nominations. Yet, its breakout lead actress, Chase Infiniti, didn't make the cut. Some insiders think her limited screen time (she's in the movie for about 30 minutes) might have hurt her chances, but considering she's the heart of the film, her absence in the Best Actress category is glaring.Guillermo del Toro Gets the "Argo" TreatmentThe Academy clearly loved Netflix's Frankenstein—it scored nine nominations, including Best Picture. But they apparently didn't love Guillermo del Toro quite enough to give him a Best Director nod. The Directors branch is notoriously finicky, and this year, they left the beloved filmmaker off the list.Blockbuster FatigueAvatar: Fire and Ash failed to secure a Best Picture nomination, a category the previous two films sailed into easily. It seems voters might finally be feeling some Pandora fatigue.Star Power Didn't Save ThemBeing an A-lister didn't help anyone this morning.George Clooney & Adam Sandler: Their film Jay Kelly was completely shut out. Usually, a Noah Baumbach movie is catnip for voters, but this one came up empty.Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson: Despite a serious campaign for his dramatic turn in The Smashing Machine, he couldn't crack the lineup.Jennifer Lawrence: She gave a ferocious performance in Die My Love, but the film was likely too gritty and indie for the broader voting body.The show, hosted by Conan O'Brien, airs live on ABC on March 15th.

Sona shares how she landed the job, how their dynamic became part of the show organically, and what it's like sitting in rooms with famous people while battling imposter syndrome. They also discuss her book, The World's Worst Assistant, and why it's time to highlight healthier, more fulfilling assistant careers. --- Today's episode is with Sona Movsesian from 2022.

Dave Plier shares his conversation with comedy legend Robert Smigel, the creative force behind the “Da Bears” sketch and the voice of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. They dive into Smigel's incredible career, from writing sketches on 425 episodes of Saturday Night Live to co-writing films with Adam Sandler, Conan O’Brien, and more.

The night before Rob and Michele Reiner were stabbed to death in their Brentwood home, their son Nick was at Conan O'Brien's Christmas party making guests uncomfortable. He stared at people. Interrupted conversations. Asked guests if they were famous. Got into a shouting match with his father loud enough for the room to hear. His parents brought him specifically because they were worried. His mother had been telling friends for weeks they were at their wits' end. We've tried everything, she said.Three weeks after the murders, Nick's high-profile defense attorney Alan Jackson quit the case — but not before declaring to cameras that Nick Reiner is not guilty of murder under California law. He said he's legally and ethically prohibited from explaining why he withdrew.Former FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke ran the Bureau's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program for years. He's the author of Sizing People Up and has built his career on reading people and predicting dangerous behavior. Today he breaks down everything we know about Nick Reiner's deterioration in the weeks before the killings — the schizophrenia diagnosis, the medication change that sources say sent him off the rails, and the behavioral red flags that were visible to everyone at that party. We talk about what it means when a family identifies a threat and still can't stop it. What Alan Jackson's statement telegraphs. And whether this tragedy could have been predicted.#NickReiner #RobReiner #HiddenKillers #FBI #TrueCrime #BehavioralAnalysis #AlanJackson #ConanOBrien #MicheleReiner #SchizophreniaJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISDOES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hands makes an easy call about the direction of Madison's property taxes.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for December 22, 2025. 0:30 Immigration, assimilation, and the American Dream. We break down why equal opportunity — not equal outcomes — has always been at the heart of American success, and why past waves of immigrants embraced shared values to build a common culture. We turn to Vice President JD Vance’s warning about Europe’s immigration crisis, cultural division, and security fears in cities like Paris, and ask whether the United States is heading down the same path. 9:30 Plus, we cover the Top 3 Things You Need to Know. The US seized another oil tanker leaving Venezuela over the weekend. Over the weekend, a dump of Epstein files was released to the public. The Delaware Supreme Court ruled that Elon musk is indeed entitled to the largest compensation package for a CEO in world history. 12:30 Get Performlyte from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 13:00 President Trump made a surprise announcement to build a new “Trump Class” battleship for the U.S. Navy — and it’s already sending the left into a frenzy. We dive into what this could mean for America’s military strength as China ramps up its naval power, and whether battleships could make a comeback in modern warfare. 16:00 American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson react to a hilarious story involving Conan O’Brien, Will Arnett, and Jason Bateman — and a running joke about grief, friendship, and irreverent humor. The conversation explores how laughter can be a powerful way to cope with loss, even in the middle of heartbreak. From sharing personal family stories to debating why Hollywood comedians on the left embrace edgy humor — until it comes from conservatives — the segment dives into comedy, culture, and double standards in political humor. It’s a heartfelt and funny look at how humor connects people, celebrates life, and keeps friendships strong, even during the toughest times. If you'd like to ask our American Mamas a question, go to our website, AmericanGroundRadio.com/mamas and click on the Ask the Mamas button. 23:00 We break down President Trump’s pro-life legacy, the future of abortion policy after Roe v. Wade, and what it really means to stand for the sanctity of life. From states’ rights and constitutional limits on federal power to supporting single mothers, adoption, foster care, and post-abortion counseling, being pro-life must go beyond just opposing abortion. Republicans should defend life at every stage — and make compassion, not just legislation, the heart of the pro-life message. 26:00 We Dig Deep into Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd and his Newsmax appearance, where he claimed Americans don’t trust the media because they don’t trust “the experts.” But the real crisis is media credibility — not public ignorance. From COVID coverage and government messaging to questions about President Biden’s mental fitness and climate change debates legacy media treated experts like gospel, dismissed dissent, and labeled skeptics as conspiracy theorists. The result? A collapse of trust in journalism and mainstream news. 32:00 Get Prodovite Plus from Victory Nutrition International for 20% off. Go to vni.life/agr and use the promo code AGR20. 32:30 New York City mayor-elect Zoran Mamdani, isn't just a Democrat — but an outright socialist poised to take control of America’s largest city. With Mamdani set to be sworn in by Bernie Sanders and New York Attorney General Letitia James, the symbolism couldn’t be clearer. From AOC and Bernie Sanders to politicized justice and government overreach, Mamdani’s rise is a warning sign for where the Democratic Party — and America — could be headed next. 35:30 And we have a Bright Spot coming from Mullins, South Carolina where a private citizens group set out to give their downtown a Hallmark-style holiday makeover — complete with Santa, snowmen, and a nativity scene. But when the town’s mayor stepped in and asked for the nativity to be removed from public view, the fight was on. From free expression to accusations of intolerance toward Christians, this discussion raises a bigger question: does tolerance mean respecting traditions — or erasing them? 39:30 We dive into the legal battle over nativity scenes in public spaces. We break down the First Amendment and explain why the government cannot ban a nativity display simply because “someone might be offended.” While cities can enforce neutral rules on time, place, and manner, singling out a religious display is classic viewpoint discrimination — and courts consistently strike it down. 41:00 And we finish off with the first plane to safely land with Autoland.

Conway and Thompson discussed new details surrounding the first-degree murder charges against Nick Reiner in the killing of his parents, Rob Reiner and Michele Singer. Legal analyst Michael Monks explained the nature of the charges and District Attorney Nathan Hochman’s role in the case. The conversation also touched on Bill Hader, who reportedly had a prior encounter with Nick Reiner at a Conan O’Brien party.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The holiday party at Conan O'Brien's house got dark. Rob Reiner's son, Nick, reportedly caused disturbances at the event, leading to a heated argument with his father. Later, Rob and his wife Michelle were tragically murdered, leaving Conan haunted by what he perceived as missed warning signs. Several Hollywood figures, including Bill Hader, expressed their sorrow and shock. Tributes from friends and collaborators, such as Billy Crystal and Harry Shearer, highlighted Reiner's legacy. Rob Schneider commented on presidential remarks about Reiner, advocating for less hostility. Reiner's final film release has been delayed as a mark of respect.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support.Contact John at John@thesharkdeck dot com Thanks to our sponsors!Raycon EarbudsUnderdog Fantasy Promo Code DCNBlue Chew Promo Code DCNTalkspace promo code Space 80For Uninterrupted Listening, use the Apple Podcast App and click the banner that says Uninterrupted Listening.  $4.99/month John's Substack about media is free.

Rob Reiner and his wife Michele Singer Reiner were found dead in their Brentwood home on Sunday, December 14, 2025. Both had their throats slit. Their daughter Romy discovered the bodies and immediately told police that a family member was responsible — and that he was "dangerous." Hours later, their 32-year-old son Nick Reiner was arrested near USC and booked on suspicion of murder. He's now being held without bail. But here's what makes this story even more disturbing: the night before the killings, Rob, Michele, and Nick attended a Christmas party at Conan O'Brien's house. Witnesses say Nick was acting erratically — staring at people, interrupting conversations, freaking out guests. Then he got into a loud argument with his father. Loud enough for the whole party to hear. Rob and Michele left afterward. Less than 24 hours later, they were dead. Nick Reiner has a documented history of severe drug addiction going back to age 15. He went through 17 rehab programs. He was homeless in three different states. In 2015, he co-wrote a semi-autobiographical film with his father called Being Charlie about his struggles with addiction. Rob Reiner called it the most personal project he ever made. Sources say Michele had been telling friends for months that she and Rob were at their "wits' end" with Nick's mental health and substance abuse issues. Her words: "We've tried everything." This is a story about a Hollywood legend, a family in crisis, and a system that gives parents almost no options when their adult children are spiraling. The Reiners had money, connections, and access to the best treatment available. None of it was enough. In this video, we break down everything we know — the timeline, the party, the arrest, Nick's history, and what comes next as the case heads to the LA County District Attorney. #RobReiner #MicheleSingerReiner #NickReiner #Brentwood #Hollywood #TrueCrime #BeingCharlie #ConanOBrien #LAPD #BreakingNews #CelebrityCrime Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The segment explored the unique pressures faced by children of celebrities, with a particular focus on how sons often struggle under the weight of legacy, expectations, and public scrutiny. The conversation referenced Rob Reiner’s past openness about his son’s personal challenges, including a discussion with Sam Rubin in which Reiner spoke candidly about the difficulties his son faced growing up in the spotlight. Attention then turned to reports and allegations surrounding a devastating family tragedy involving the Reiners, which sent shockwaves through Hollywood. According to accounts discussed on air, close friends—including Billy Crystal and his wife—were among those who encountered the aftermath, underscoring how deeply the event affected the entertainment community. The program revisited prior public incidents that hinted at serious family strain, including a heated argument between Rob Reiner and his son at a Conan O’Brien holiday party that centered on concerns over substance abuse. The discussion noted that Nick Reiner had reportedly undergone numerous stints in rehabilitation, highlighting the long and painful battle many families face when addiction is involved. Clips from a past appearance by Rob and his son on The Howard Stern Show were referenced, where they spoke about collaborating on the film Being Charlie, a project that mirrored real-life struggles with addiction and recovery. The irony of art reflecting life was not lost on the hosts. As details continued to emerge through media reports, correspondents shared the latest developments, including accounts of who discovered the couple and where an arrest was said to have taken place. The segment closed with listener reactions, many expressing shock, grief, and empathy, while reflecting on the broader themes of mental illness, addiction, and the tragic consequences when those struggles go unchecked.

Over the last 40 years few comedians have had the pedigree of today's Legend. Harvard Lampoon President? Check! Simpson's writer and show runner? Check! Late Night TV host tapped to replace Letterman's Late Nite show? Check! Tonight Show host (at least for a little while)? Check! Successful Oscar host? Check! Possessing a goofy but sharp sense of humor and a gift for comic self-deprecation, Conan has accumulated a shelf full of awards over his career including multiple Emmy and Writer's Guild Awards and the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. And, oh yeah, when he had his syndicated talk show, Conan's band leader was none other than Max Weinberg, drummer for Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. For a boomer (and a fine guitarist) like Conan that might be the biggest accomplishment of all. As always find additional clips below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Conan? Conan was an SNL writer during one of the show's best runs in the late 1990s writing many classic bits. Here's the full sketch that introduced "The Girl Watchers" to the world. https://youtu.be/FnDGawHdKUg?si=ZaOxoIY4ehHswX8x It took audiences a while to warm to Conan's hosting style when he took over David Letterman's Late Night show back in the early 90s. No doubt this interview with Dolly Parton was a big part of the learning process. https://youtu.be/ui6pYEXO9BI?si=GQyPdbUdaw3dhNKS Conan's job hosting the 2025 Oscars won rave reviews from critics and viewers. No wonder he was asked back for another go in 2026. https://youtu.be/_coFFIDVJ_Y?si=pL91u0D3NxNLFg08
