In the Dumpster Fire Corner: Is anyone really surprised at the reported under bookings of hotels leading up to the FIFA World Cup in US host cities? Then, Pam has some insights into what this year's TV Upfronts mean for what audiences will be seeing on the small screen in the next year. We break down what the annual TV industry preview event actually is, what studios announced for the upcoming season, and what it all means for your watchlist. The big headlines: scripted programming is making a comeback on broadcast networks, lighter and more optimistic TV is the vibe networks are chasing, and comedy is somehow still getting left behind. Also, AI is everywhere — even in how advertisers are targeting you mid-episode. Then we get into something we're all guilty of: the second screen problem. We're sharing our favorite background shows (no judgment) and already calling which Upfronts announcements are destined for the "playing while I fold laundry" category. This week's recommendations are on theme with our TV-themed discussion: 'Amadeus' on Starz (Laura) and 'The Other Bennett Sister' on BritBox (Pam). Join us over on our Patreon for this week's installment of After Dark, where we get very personal and take some questions and topic suggestions from our live audience.

Today on The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast the guys are supposed to be discussing Party at Mr. Bernard's but they never get to it. It's a Sunday recording and Andy is late so they sort of just riff. They talk about ALF some more, with some thoughts from Kristen Wiig, and dive into the fan made dictionary for the pod. Plus, Seth FINALLY tells us what he thinks about the Upfronts! Akiva drops some spoilers for Robin Hood; Prince of Theives and Andy does eventually show up despite being very ill because he really does care about the podcast (he doesn't). Anyway, we didn't know what to call this episode. Hope it's good!

Josh D'Amaro said that Disney is in a "Category of One" at the Upfronts, as Jimmy Kimmel openly laughed at costing his employer billions of dollars. D'Amaro leaned into Disney nostalgia and said that Disney's reputation is why advertisers should spend with them. The thing is, according to Axios, Disney's rep has dropped from Top Five to "Fair" in only six years time. Can he win back some of the Disney magic?

Die Programmvorstellungen der US-amerikanischen Networks wurden in dieser Woche von NBC, FOX und ABC komplettiert. Bereits Mitte April veröffentlichte der Paramount-Sender CBS seine Strategie für die im Herbst anstehende Saison, bei der die Planer am Sonntag auf Football setzen. Mit Ausnahme des Mittwochs setzt das Unternehmen auf eine breite Bandbreite an Fiction. FOX, das Sat.1 der Vereinigten Staaten, füllt seine Primetime weiterhin mit vielen Spielshows wie «99» und «The Floor». Auf der anderen Seite werden freitags, samstags und sonntags Live-Sportübertragungen ausgestrahlt. Bei NBC gehören Dienstag und Sonntag der NBA sowie der NFL, während die Reality-Show «The Traitors» (als «Die Verräter» bei RTL) von Peacock ins lineare Fernsehen wechselt. Der Sender schielte wohl auf seinen Kooperationspartner aus England, wo die BBC inzwischen mehr als zehn Millionen Amerikaner abholt. Der Disney-Sender ABC ist ein wichtiger Lieferant für Disney+, weshalb die Planer auch in diesem Jahr sämtliche Fiction-Formate übernahmen. Außerdem werden samstags, sonntags und montags Live-Sportübertragungen angeboten. Der Dienstag ist traditionell in der Hand von «Dancing with the Stars», weshalb auch «High Potential» erst im kommenden Jahr zurückkehrt. Neben den Upfronts sprechen Mario Thunert und Fabian Riedner in dieser Ausgabe auch über die besten Songs beim «Eurovision Song Contest» und stellen jeweils ein Top-Fünf-Ranking zusammen.

Johnny Mac recaps Variety's interview with Jeff Ross about the Kevin Hart roast, including Ross's view that well-crafted jokes don't hurt, a surreal moment when he missed Hart's jab while stuck in a locked-bathroom scramble, and the only real tension arising when Katt Williams surprised Hart before Hart quickly turned it celebratory. Ross says nothing was off-limits, credits producer Casey Patterson for secrecy that preserves surprise, and notes live edits and the teleprompter operators' difficulty. Vulture argues Sheryl Underwood “won” by resetting the room's energy. Mac dismisses a Radar Online claim that ABC is reconsidering Jimmy Kimmel, then runs through Kimmel's and Seth Meyers' upfronts material and late-night industry jokes. He notes James Corden's Fox World Cup aftershow, Jason Zinoman's praise of John Mulaney and rising comics, and Heather Shaw's YouTube special release. 00:19 Jeff Ross Roast Chaos02:30 Crossing Lines and Sequencing03:55 Roast Production Secrets04:55 Who Should Get Roasted Next05:17 Sheryl Underwood Steals Show06:10 Kimmel Gossip and Upfronts09:34 Seth Meyers NBC Jabs11:10 James Corden World Cup Show12:45 NYT on Mulaney and Newcomers14:37 Heather Shaw Special and WrapBecome 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.

It's the end of Upfronts week, better known as Hollywood's annual pilgrimage to woo Madison Ave. Formerly about broadcast TV schedules, Upfronts has become a showcase for a much stranger, fragmented TV future: creators, podcasts, live sports, live events, movies, dog shows and, yes, lots of AI, the cringe buzzword of the week (and jeez, sorry, scripted). Elaine Low, Sean McNulty and Natalie Jarvey break down the major themes from Disney, Netflix, WBD and others, including top living room streamer YouTube, whose competing Brandcast cast a long shadow over the festivities — and the choices highlighted on rivals' stages. The gang also crowns the best and worst celeb cameos (Anne Hathaway, Mia Hamm and Matthew Stafford), musical performances (Olivia Rodrigo, Maren Morris and Kacey Musgraves) and, of course, ad pitches.

In this episode of Next in Media, Mike Shields sits down with Alan Moss, VP of Global Advertising Sales at Amazon Ads, to talk about Amazon's rapid transformation into a full-funnel advertising powerhouse. Alan walks through how he joined Amazon mid-COVID in 2020 and within a few years helped land an 11-year NFL deal, launch Prime Video ads, and close an NBA partnership that made Prime Video a year-round sports network.  He and Mike dig into what's working in the upfront market, why Amazon sees retail media and streaming as one unified full-funnel business, and how Amazon DSP's partnerships with Netflix, Disney, Roku, and others now reach 90% of household audiences. They also get into the growing role of Twitch and creators as a mid-funnel marketing lever, and why Alan believes the future is AI agents — not just for creative optimization, but for full campaign orchestration.
