Trevor Noah jokes about being undateable in his Netflix special, "Joy in the Trenches".
One of the best autobiographies I've read in modern history is Trevor Noah's book Born a Crime.It's extraordinary.He grew up in apartheid South Africa with a Swiss father and a South African mother.Which meant his very existence was illegal under apartheid.The stories are wild, heartbreaking, and often hilarious.But what struck me most wasn't just the adversity.It was how he learned to navigate it.He developed humor, awareness, and an ability to see the absurdity of the world around him.And despite everything he experienced, he still seems like a deeply kind person.That combination is rare.Reading it made me think about something.A lot of the tension we experience in modern life comes from things we simply cannot control.Political systems.Leadership we don't understand.Movements that sweep through societies.You don't always get to choose the world you live in.And you can't just move every time you disagree with the direction things are going.So what do you do?You can spend your life angry.Or you can try to hold onto something else.A light heart.Humor.Perspective.Because the truth is:Most of us don't actually understand the world as well as we think we do.Even in my own field—after studying it for decades—I often feel like I'm still figuring it out.And then I see people who are incredibly confident about everything.Which tells me something important.Confidence is often just how people cope with uncertainty.For me, the only strategy that seems to work is trying to live with a joyful heart.Not perfectly.Not successfully every day.But consciously.Choosing not to fall down every rabbit hole of anger.Choosing to laugh at the absurdity sometimes.And choosing to move forward anyway.
Amazon's buy two, get one free book deal is live, and this episode is a fast hit list of what is actually worth stacking in your cart. The rundown moves from page to screen picks like Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir and the full Hunger Games run by Suzanne Collins, into BookTok favorites like A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas, plus the nightstand pile of Fourth Wing and Red Rising that is still waiting to get read.From there it is classics worth revisiting (The Outsiders, Holes, and The Hobbit as the perfect one chapter a night read with kids), a heartfelt nod to Born a Crime by Trevor Noah, and the latest from John Green. The comic corner gets real love this week with Absolute Batman Volume One leading DC's current renaissance and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow standing out as a personal favorite of the decade, with the movie adaptation landing soon. The whole thing builds to one top recommendation that the entire friend group is hooked on right now: Dungeon Crawler Carl, the paperbacks included in the deal, the audiobooks worth the Audible promo, and Princess Donut earning her own hand painted figurines.00:00:00 Welcome and the Amazon buy three book deal00:00:13 Page to screen: Project Hail Mary and The Hunger Games00:00:26 BookTok picks and the growing nightstand pile00:00:39 Classics worth revisiting and Born a Crime by Trevor Noah00:00:57 Comic corner: Absolute Batman and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow00:01:33 The number one pick: Dungeon Crawler Carl00:02:10 Princess Donut, figurines, and the Audible deal00:02:25 Shop local, used books, and closing thoughtsThe Amazon deal applies to full franchises, not single titles, so you can grab every Hunger Games book in one cart instead of just the first one.BookTok keeps delivering. A Court of Thorns and Roses, Fourth Wing, and Red Rising are the BookTok and nightstand trio worth starting with.The Hobbit is the standout family read, built for one chapter a night with kids.Absolute Batman Volume One is proof DC is in a creative renaissance right now, and the trade collections finally make it easy to follow.Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow carries Saga and Guardians of the Galaxy energy with artwork worth getting tattooed, and it is the source material for the upcoming movie. At seven dollars it is a steal.Dungeon Crawler Carl is the top recommendation of the week, with paperbacks included in the deal and an Audible three months for a dollar promo making the audiobooks an easy entry point.Shopping local is always the first suggestion, and Amazon's used book listings from libraries and Goodwill are a solid budget route, even if they sit outside this particular promo."If you're like me and TikTok will get you buying a book any day of the week, here's some TikTok gold.""It's a renaissance in DC right now, and one of, if not my actual favorite comic books in the last decade.""It's got Saga vibes, kind of Guardians of the Galaxy vibes. There's heart and pain in it, but also just beautiful artwork.

Yeah, baby... maybe? Mike Myers stopped by Trevor Noah's podcast and lit the fuse on a question fans have been circling for years: are we getting another Austin Powers movie? In this Geek Freaks Headlines breakdown, we unpack Myers' tease, weigh whether the franchise still has a place in 2026, and dig into why the math might actually work even if the films haven't aged gracefully. With Shrek already on his comeback slate, the conversation turns into a bigger debate about nostalgia, mid-budget comedies, and which revival fans would actually welcome. (Hint: Wayne's World keeps coming up.)Topics covered: the Mike Myers Austin Powers tease, the aging-franchise problem, the Scary Movie comedy comparison and its soft box office, the economic case for mid-budget studio comedies, and the revival fans might prefer instead.Timestamps0:00 Austin Powers Might Be Back0:09 The Nostalgia Problem and an Aging Cast0:21 The Scary Movie Comparison0:37 The Case for Bringing It Back0:52 Your Take in the CommentsKey TakeawaysMike Myers floated the possibility of a new Austin Powers during his Trevor Noah podcast appearance.The skeptic case is real: the films lean on humor that hasn't aged well, and the cast keeps getting older.Shrek is already returning for Myers, so an Austin Powers revival would stack onto a growing nostalgia slate.The new Scary Movie sits in the same tongue-in-cheek, embrace-the-silly comedy lane, but it underperformed at a reported 175 million worldwide.The counterargument is jobs: mid-budget comedies keep crews working and money moving through Hollywood.If any Myers revival lands cleanly, a new Wayne's World might be the easier sell.Memorable Quotes"I love nostalgia like every other millennial, but I don't know if we need this one back.""This is one of those mid-budget movies that actually keeps Hollywood flowing, gets people employed, so why not bring it back?""Mike Myers, you can make something new."We Want to Hear From YouShould they make a new Austin Powers movie, or is it time to hang that hat up?

I’ve been watching Matt Koff’s new comedy special Cat Man all week — it’s out now on YouTube — and this week I got to talk with Matt about it. He’s an Emmy-winning Daily Show writer and the winner of New York’s Funniest Standup 2023. We talked about the cultural discomfort around men who love cats, and the very real divide Matt has clocked between Manhattan audiences (who think men with cats are weird) and Brooklyn audiences (who emphatically do not). As a fellow middle-aged cat dad, I related more than I’d like to admit. We also got into how Cat Man came together: self-financed, shot in two shows on a single night at the Comedy Cellar, and made with a crew of longtime Daily Show colleagues who transformed the Village Underground into something out of David Lynch by way of The Muppet Show. And we talked about the shift from being angry about not being famous to being relieved about it — a turn that, for Matt, has a lot to do with the grease stains on his shirts. Matt Koff is a Brooklyn-based stand-up and Emmy-winning TV writer who has been at The Daily Show for 13 years. His debut comedy album, Who’s My Little Guy?, is out on 800 Pound Gorilla Records, and he’s written for The Onion and the Trevor Noah-hosted White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Be sure to check out the bonus conversation with Matt dropping on Patreon! Find it here on my Patreon page. You can find Matt at mattkoff.net and at mattkoff.substack.com.
Johnny Mac covers comedy news including Netflix developing Grown Ups 3 with a script by Adam Sandler and Tim Herlihy and expected returns from David Spade, Rob Schneider, Kevin James and Chris Rock, with a Europe trip plot involving spreading a deceased friend's ashes. He mentions the visual-heavy trailer for Will Ferrell's golf comedy series The Hawk, Nick Kroll's new series A Hundred Percent with Sam Richardson, Jason Mantzoukas and Vanessa Bayer, and Wanda Sykes' Netflix special Legacy. Netflix also signed Mike Epps for two more specials after Delusional's strong performance. Trevor Noah announced a YouTube travel series, Trevor Noah's World Tour, and Mo Amer will host the 86th Peabody Awards. The episode highlights Stephen Colbert's comments on The Late Show ending, late-night host questions, his views on Trump and authoritarians, and that he's working on a Warner Bros. Lord of the Rings script. It also notes Shane Mauss on 800 Pound Gorilla's YouTube, the return of the ISH Edinburgh Comedy Awards in 2026 backed by James Corden, and a review and clip of New Zealand comedian Henry Yen. 00:17 Sandler Returns With Grown Ups 301:52 Will Ferrell Golf Series The Hawk02:51 Nick Kroll Series A Hundred Percent03:23 Wanda Sykes And Mike Epps Netflix04:31 YouTube Upfronts Trevor Noah Tour05:42 Mo Amer Hosts Peabody Awards06:08 Colbert Q And A With Hosts08:34 Why Colbert Show Ended10:25 Colbert Politics And Authoritarians11:22 Whats Next For Colbert12:21 Comedy Bits And Festival News13:18 Henry Yen Review And Clip1 Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac-a-daily-briefing-on-comedians-and-the-comedy-industry--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.
Matt Koff! Comedian! Writer! Friend! Delight! More! Matt is a very funny comedian friend! We have a great chat and you can have a great listen! Then tonight you can watch his new special! Here's some more information about that from the press release that says it better than I ever could: Tonight: Cat Man Premiering on YouTube May 15th at 8pm ET, 2026 Tuesday: NYC Release Viewing Party Tuesday May 19th at Littlefield Any time: READ THE DEADLINE EXCLUSIVE Emmy-Winning writer for the Daily Show, and winner of New York's Funniest Stand Up 2023, Matt Koff is excited to announce the YouTube release of his second comedy hour, Cat Man, May 15th with a premiere at 8pm with Koff attending; he will be in the chat. Said Koff, "I'm excited to share my special with the broader audience of YouTube. If this special doesn't bring about world peace, nothing will." Cat Man is an hour of fresh stand-up material from the Comedy Cellar regular about divorce, middle-age and cats. Koff believes there is a real bias against men with cats. He says "People love cats, but men with cats make people uncomfortable. Including me. I'm a man with a cat and I'm creeped out by myself!" The special is also a reprieve for Koff from his main subject of joke-writing at the Daily Show: Donald Trump. He says "It was nice to do an entire special that doesn't mention the president, whomever he may be. And judging from the state of the world, this could very well be my last comedy special, so I'm excited to get it out there." He added, "I will still be touring doomsday bunkers though." Cat Man was shot at The Comedy Cellar with some of Matt Koff's long-time Daily Show colleagues including director David Paul Meyer, producer Asad Bokhari, and lighting director George Countas, fresh off his win as New York's top Pedro Pascal lookalike. Art Director Becca Gialanella, also a Daily Show colleague, transformed the Cellar's Village Underground into a 1970s lounge. There are a number of other comics from his 23 years in the biz, including Jon Stewart himself (spoiler), that also make a guest appearance. Matt Koff had always dreamed of performing at the Comedy Cellar. He says "It took me years to get an audition there and I was so bitter about not getting in, sometimes I would walk past the Cellar and hiss at the club. Now I get to perform there and hiss at the audience when they don't like a joke." More About Matt Koff: Matt Koff is a Brooklyn-based stand-up comic and veteran Emmy-Winning TV writer working at The Daily Show for the last 13 years. His debut comedy album, WHO'S MY LITTLE GUY?, is out on 800 Pound Gorilla Records. As a stand-up, Matt has appeared on Comedy Central, WNYC, WFMU, and The History Channel, which is how you know he's smart. Matt has also written for The Onion and The White House Correspondents' Dinner hosted by Trevor Noah. He won the title of 'New York's Funniest Stand Up' in 2023 and co-created the Twitter sensation TrumpComedyNerd, which was called one of the 207 Top Comedy Moments of 2010s by Vulture.

Johnny Mac covers backlash to Jimmy Kimmel after a resurfaced joke about Melania Trump was recontextualized following an incident at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, prompting statements from Melania's account and the President demanding ABC/Disney fire Kimmel; Mac explains he tried to remove the clip from his show but it accidentally remained. Kimmel responds on-air, and other comics (including Jimmy Fallon, Greg Gutfeld, and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog) add jokes; George Clooney comments on dangerous rhetoric, and reports mention the FCC may launch an early review of ABC's broadcast licenses.

Hanna und Adam haben wieder Bock auf die Entertainment-Geschichten aus der vergangenen Woche und auch in einige Starts und Buzz-Titel reingeschaut. Diesmal geht es beispielsweise um Wrestlemania bei Netflix, das Biopic „Michael“, aber auch den Staffelstart von „Beef“ oder frische Comedy-Specials.Aktuelle Quotenmeldungen und Verlängerungen, etwa bei „Young Sherlock“ oder der deutschen Serie „Euphorie“ sind ebenfalls Thema der Diskussionen. Die Besetzungen eines Videospiel-Films von A24 und das Budget dazu gibt uns Fragezeichen auf, lässt uns aber auch in Vorfreude verfallen. Und ein Streamingdienst hat eine längst überfällige Umbenennung (aber auch Preiserhöhungen) angekündigt.Im Reviewteil geht es um „Beef“ „Crooks“, „The Testaments“, den Anime „Fist of the North Star“. Einen kleinen Teaser gibt es zum Stand-Up-Special von Trevor Noah bei Netflix und eine Empfehlung zu seinem Podcast. Im Main Event geht es um Wrestlemania aka Werbemania bei Netflix und den MJ-Film und dessen Kontroverse-Rezeption und valide Kritik daran.ANZEIGE:Angebot zum Streamen von Euphoria: https://www.sky.de/angebote?wkz=WPSP25#openTab_bestseller 0:00:00 Julianna Margulies in Paradise S30:02:00 Silo: Start der dritten Staffel und Citadel S20:03:30 Jamie Dornan in Herr der Ringe0:04:40 Young Sherlock S20:06:00 Elden-Ring- und Bloodborne-Verfilmung0:10:40 Kein Plus bei JoynPlus+ mehr0:17:00 Euphorie bekommt eine zweite Staffel, mehr Lehrer, mehr Pumuckl 0:25:00 Beef S20:29:00 Fist of the North Star bei Prime0:32:00 Netflix Games0:34:00 Trevor-Noah-Standup und Crooks S20:37:00 Wrestlemania 420:43:00 Michael0:53:00 SerienstartsHanna Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/mediawhore.bsky.social Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mediawhore Adam: Twitter/ X: https://twitter.com/AwesomeArndt Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/awesomearndt/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AwesomeArndt Hosted on Acast.

Johnny Mac delivers a daily comedy news briefing led by Dave Chappelle saying he's recently considering bringing back Chappelle's Show after walking away from a reported $50M Comedy Central deal in 2005, while also reflecting on success, legacy, and staying true to his work.

Trump calls for a two-week break to his war against Iran. Ben riffs. Monroe gets out his crystal ball to predict…Trump's cabinet will invoke the 25th amendment to save the country from a President who has lost his mind. Proving that the country's voters lost their minds when they elected Trump. A great debate ensues. Also, a debate over the election results in Georgia.

In this solo episode, Travis Chappell reflects on the importance of friendship and how meaningful relationships impact our health, happiness, and success. Inspired by a conversation between Simon Sinek and Trevor Noah, Travis shares personal lessons about how chasing business success and carrying burdens alone led him to unintentionally distance himself from friends. He explores the idea that friendship may be the ultimate “biohack” for a better life, dives into the famous Rat Park experiment on addiction and community, and explains why being a great friend is often the key to building deeper relationships. On this episode we talk about: Why Simon Sinek calls friendship the “ultimate biohack” for health, happiness, and longevity The powerful lesson from the Rat Park experiment about community and addiction Why refusing to share struggles with friends can actually damage relationships The balance between vulnerability and becoming the constant “complainer” in a friend group Practical ways to strengthen friendships by creating shared experiences and memories Top 3 Takeaways Friendship is one of the most powerful predictors of health and happiness. Meaningful relationships can impact everything from emotional well-being to long-term longevity. Being a good friend means allowing others to show up for you. Refusing to share struggles can unintentionally rob your friends of the chance to support you. Experiences create stronger friendships than conversation alone. Shared activities and memories build deeper trust and connection over time. Notable Quotes "Friendship is the ultimate biohack that literally fixes everything." "If you don't allow your friends to be there for you, you're robbing them of the opportunity to be a good friend." "Stop asking how to make friends and start asking how to become a great friend."

There were history-making moments, as well as awkward ones, at last night's 68th annual Grammy Awards. Cher's Lifetime Achievement Award presentation went off the rails and culminated with her introducing Luther Vandross as the winner of the Record of the Year. (Vandross passed away 21 years ago.) The night also included interesting outfits, ICE references, and a Trevor Noah joke that prompted Pres. Trump to promise a lawsuit. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
An hour into the Grammys and we’ve seen plenty of incredible performances, as in every single nominee in the Best New Artist category. But so far, only two awards have been handed out: Best Rap Album and Best New Artist, as host Trevor Noah tries to keep things light and lively moving through the who’s who of artists from Justin Beiber to Jelly Roll to Shaboozy to Jamie Foxx.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
