Summary
Johnny Mac covers Netflix’s trailer for Louis C.K.’s new stand-up special “Ridiculous,” out June 30, his first Netflix special in nine years, noting his post-2017 self-released work and 2022 Grammy win; Mac reacts to the trailer clip about placing C.K.’s father in a home and cites The A.V. Club saying the special appears to avoid controversy. He then discusses Nate Bargatze drawing backlash after being photographed at a UFC event with Robert F. Kennedy and Cheryl Hines, with a source saying Nate expected political interpretation but attended as a UFC fan, plus mentions Nate’s father Steven Brighetti’s YouTube magic special “Out in a Minute” debuting Thursday. Other items include Jon Stewart’s criticism of the UFC event, Rob Schneider offering to pay MLB fines tied to Giants Pride Night, and comedian Ahmed Ahmed’s lawsuit alleging jail abuse after an SFO arrest. The episode ends with extensive Knicks championship coverage via Fallon, Kimmel, and Seth Meyers, and plugs a free NY Laughs show at Lincoln Center headlined by James Austin Johnson. 00:11 Louis C.K.
