## Resource

Johnny Mac opens with a clip of comedian Tommy Kang doing a Rodney Dangerfield-style set about being Chinese, family insults, and a Taiwan joke, then reports Larry the Cable Guy was hospitalized in Lincoln, Nebraska with appendicitis, had it removed after two days, and is recovering at home after posting a humorous update. He critiques comedy at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, citing Variety’s take on Trump’s nervous delivery and weak material. From Just for Laughs in Montreal, he shares remarks and jokes from honorees including Gabriel Iglesias, Lisa Gilroy, Chris Fleming, Atsuko Okatsuka, and Bruce Hills receiving the JFL Legacy Tribute Award with taped tributes. Other notes include Tracy Morgan’s Paramount+ show ending, Dan Harmon saying Chevy Chase’s Community-movie involvement isn’t his call, late-night ratings updates, and Billboard’s June comedy Boxscore led by Nate Bargatze, with Matt Rife, Weird Al, Jim Gaffigan, and Peter Kay also listed. 00:15 Tommy Kang Clip 01:32 Larry Cable Guy Update 02:21 Trump Dinner Joke 03:33 Just for Laughs Awards 05:56 Bruce Hills Tribute 07:31 Quick Comedy Notes 08:11 Late Night Ratings 10:54 Kimmel Contract Gossip 12:10 Top Touring Comics 13:00 Weird Al Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support .
