## Resource

Well, it looks like we now know why Netflix never promoted who was on the lineup for the Roast of Kevin Hary Johnny Mac stops watching The Roast of Kevin Hart around 9 PM during Lizzo, saying the first hour felt low-energy and poorly structured despite moments from host Shane Gillis, Tom Brady, Jeff Ross, Naim Wynn, and a long set from Chelsea Handler, and he notes the lack of bigger surprise guests. A curiously times Bloomberg piece ahead of the roast about chaos at Kevin Hart’s media company HartBeat, including layoffs, acquisitions, departures, and employee concerns after Hart licensed his name to Authentic Brands Group. Moving on, Mac previews Stephen Colbert’s episode reuniting Strike Force Five and notes David Letterman will guest May 14. Other items include thoughts on Bruce Hornsby’s Indigo Park, a donkey charity naming a foal “Gervais” after Ricky Gervais’ donation, top comedy tours led by Matt Rife, Just for Laughs additions, SNL UK renewed, Diane Morgan’s BBC comedy Ann Droid, James Austin Johnson tour dates, Emily Catalano viral clip, Fox renewals/cancellations, Boston Fringe, and Netflix comedy exec Robbie Praw on changing stand-up showcase strategy and predicting a return of comedy movies. 00:00 Roastof Kevin Hart 00:40 Shane Gillis Opens 02:04 Kevin Hart Hype 02:46 Tom Brady Surprise 03:57 Jeff Ross Arrives 04:53 Chelsea and Lizzo Exit 05:31 HartBeat Chaos Report 06:48 Strike Force Five 07:26 Music and Donkey News 09:28 Touring and Festivals 11:08 SNL UK and Diane Morgan 14:31 Gossip Corner and TV Renewals 16:37 Netflix Comedy Strategy 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 .
