Summary
Johnny Mac covers comedy news including the YouTube launch of “Good Night with Ben Gleib,” a weekly Thursday 10 p.m. ET show with a live and virtual audience, a band, and a post-show after-party episode featuring broader guests beyond celebrities. He recounts Pete Davidson and John Mulaney joking at Netflix Is a Joke about some SNL hosts bombing and writers having to reassure them. Josh Johnson discusses his first HBO special “Symphony,” avoiding topical references, connecting with audiences, his start in stand-up, his weekly YouTube sets, and his approach to hosting The Daily Show. Tom Segura talks fitness habits around the Two Bears 5K. Billboard’s April top comedy tours are listed, led by Nate Bargatze. The Guardian reports DHS circulated a “be on the lookout” alert for prankster Ben Palmer over a parody immigration tip site, while stating he poses no danger. Other items include HBO Max’s Australian comedy “Make That Movie,” Aparna Nancherla on audience feedback and her Dropout hour, and a BJ Novak Q&A. 00:13 Ben Gleib Late Night on YouTube 01:21 Mulaney and Davidson on SNL Hosts 02:36 Josh Johnson HBO Special 04:10 Josh Johnson Writing and Daily Show 04:47 Tom Segura Fitness Routine 06:19 Biggest Comedy Tours April 07:28 DHS Alert on Ben Palmer 11:45 HBO Max Make That Movie 12:23 Aparna Nancherla on Standup 13:15 BJ Novak Rapid Fire 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 .
