Tom's about to film a movie and Bert's been running his takes through ChatGPT before he says them out loud, which still doesn't stop LeeAnn and his daughters from destroying him over The Pastor's Wife. Bert explains how Last Comic Standing edited him into the villain, and how much public misrepresentation a person should take before they swing back; Michael Jackson, Shane Gillis, Johnny Depp, Joe Rogan, and Bert's "how many bees until you start swatting" theory. From there, Bert delivers the two greatest analogies of his life, Tom demands the production Bible for Tenet to understand it better, and Bert turns his garage door into a guillotine. They also get into Kyle Forgeard of Nelk Boys running seven marathons in seven days, Bert's daughters hijacking his couples therapy to tell the therapist he only feels emasculated at Lowe's, and Bert's case that Raygun should have won the gold medal and that Jackson Pollock was a shill. 2 Bears, 1 Cave Ep. 340 https://tomsegura.com/tour https://www.bertbertbert.com/tour https://store.ymhstudios.com Gambling Problem?

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. Jimmy Fallon did standup on it in 1997, a year before SNL. Ralphie May worked the overnight casino crowd before Last Comic Standing. Johnny Mac looks at what the telethon actually was as a comedy document — what happened in the overnight hours, why the Rickles-Lewis dynamic worked, what the 1976 Dean Martin reunion tells you about what live television could do that nothing else could, and why forty-four years of staying up all night for charity produced one of the longest continuous comedy archives in American television history.What comedians appeared on the Jerry Lewis MDA telethon?" – "Did Don Rickles appear on the Jerry Lewis telethon?" – "Did Jimmy Fallon perform standup on the MDA telethon?" – "Did Ralphie May appear on the Jerry Lewis telethon?" – "Did Jerry Seinfeld appear on the MDA telethon?" – "What was the 1976 Dean Martin Jerry Lewis reunion?" – "Why was Jerry Lewis fired from the MDA telethon?" – "What did Jim Carrey say about Jerry Lewis?" – "How long was the Jerry Lewis telethon?" – "What happened in the overnight hours of the Jerry Lewis telethon?"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.

Two days before he died, Ralphie May won Casino Comedian of the Year. He was forty-five, he had pneumonia, and he went to the ceremony anyway and posted about it with the hashtag NoApologies. Johnny Mac makes the case for a comedian who built a platinum album, six specials, and two decades of sold-out rooms through crowd work and audience relationship rather than industry validation, and asks why the comedy conversation still hasn't fully reckoned with what it lost when he died."What happened to Ralphie May?""Why did Ralphie May finish second on Last Comic Standing?""How did Ralphie May die?""What was Ralphie May's connection to Sam Kinison?""How many comedy specials did Ralphie May make?""Why isn't Ralphie May more famous?""What was Ralphie May's best comedy special?""Who won Last Comic Standing season 1?"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.

This week we meet Anthony Jeselnik who has turned a "lightbulb moment" into a booming career as the modern prince of dark comedy. Originally intending to be a novelist, Anthony discovered a stand up comedy course in LA and his new career trajectory was set. Gaining experience and exposure as a writer and roaster on Comedy Central's roast series, Anthony developed a comic persona that is can walk you right up to the line -- and then step over it in a way you didn't see coming. A well-named Comedy Central show (The Jeselnik Offensive) further established his style and though a short stint as host of Last Comic Standing didn't click, a continuing run of Netflix specials, comedy tours and podcast episodes keeps Anthony at the top of the heap for those who like their comedy with an edge. As always find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Anthony Jeselnik? Anthony is a top standup draw with a style that is perfect for his dark observations. https://youtu.be/iTUNOw5bo48?si=2TioTDa02tykNpYN Anthony's big boost came from his work as a writer and roaster on Comedy Central's no-holds-barred roasts including this one of bad boy Charlie Sheen. https://youtu.be/jqzFTuuOHyk?si=E5ae8DNW6vLrUall Anthony had a two season run as host of the Jeselnik Offensive which found him in unusual situations -- such as performing standup for an audience made up entirely of members of the Church of Satan. https://youtu.be/a-UBqlEHcr8?si=Wta_8VRV5-fB9AhG

Comedian Francisco Ramos Talks "Still Learning" |The Brett Allan Show WATCH HERE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me1bJ5Pcc60&t=2s Francisco joins Brett to talk about his latest special, the journey of joke, always be writing and so much more! WANT MORE? www.brettallan.com You've probably seen me on Netflix, Hulu, or HBO Max. And if you haven't yet, you will... Comedy, for me, has always been about connection—finding the humor in real life and sharing it in a way that brings people together. Whether I'm on stage, on screen, or behind the camera, I strive to bring authenticity, sharp storytelling, and my own perspective as a Venezuelan-American into everything I create. I star in the upcoming feature The Unexpecteds, executive produced by Kevin Smith, premiering October 14. Audiences may also recognize me from Netflix's Gentefied and Hulu's This Fool. Beyond acting, I directed, co-wrote, and starred in my debut comedy short Zoo Animals, which is now streaming on HBO Max. My stand-up career has taken me across the country and onto some incredible stages. I've filmed two comedy specials—Venezuela'Merican, produced by Brad Garrett (Everybody Loves Raymond), and HBO's Entre Nos. Earlier in my career, I was a top 10 finalist on Last Comic Standing, and today I continue touring nationwide, sharing my perspective and humor with audiences in comedy clubs and theaters throughout North America. On screen, I've had the chance to work on a wide range of TV and film projects. My credits include Showtime's Shameless, Steve Carell's Angie Tribeca, Netflix's Lady Dynamite, Comedy Central's @midnight, multiple appearances on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and voice acting as Marmoset in the animated hit Rio as well as in Cartoon Network's Victor and Valentino. As a writer and performer, I'm proud to be an alum of Lorne Michaels' Mas Mejor, where I wrote, directed, and starred in comedy sketches. My debut comedy album Vayalo broke into the Billboard Comedy Top 5 and streams exclusively on SiriusXM. I've also performed in the CBS Diversity Showcase, won first place at the Lucille Ball Comedy Festival, and was featured in American Latino's Latino Out Loud documentary, which highlighted my journey in comedy. I continue to create, perform, and push my work in new directions—whether through stand-up, acting, writing, or voice work—always striving to connect with audiences through honest, original comedy.
