He pivots to Will Ferrell joking about his burdens as an LA World Cup ambassador, late-night World Cup jokes, and Nielsen ratings showing Jimmy Fallon boosted by Knicks-related episodes but still trailing Jimmy Kimmel. Kevin Hart says Spike Lee deserves a Knicks championship ring; Ben Stiller will direct an A24/HBO Knicks documentary, prompting “why not Spike Lee?” HartBeat announces 12 Hulu LOL Live half-hour specials, Nick Swardson shares an appendix update, and the “comedy stock market” recommends buying Ryan Hamilton and selling Bargatze and Nikki Glaser. Additional items include Variety’s 10 Comics to Watch at NY Comedy Festival, Guillermo joining Dancing With the Stars, and an animated Survivor movie executive produced by Jeff Probst. 00:00 Nate UFC Photo Drama 01:40 Rogan Weighs In 02:45 Will Ferrell World Cup Bit 03:30 Knicks Ratings Surge 05:17 Share The Show Warning 05:56 Knicks Doc Debate 07:11 Kevin Hart Hulu Specials 07:48 Nick Swardson Health Update 08:03 Producer Nostalgia 09:11 Comedy Stock Market Picks 10:11 Festival And TV Odds 10:52 Survivor Goes Animated 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 .
