He covers a US State Department–funded public-diplomacy series of untitled “Pratt shorts” pairing Chris Pratt with historian Doris Kearns Goodwin to teach constitutional values through short live-action/animation episodes. Mac laments the lack of excitement around the upcoming USA 250 compared with the 1976 bicentennial. He reports Ricky Gervais confirmed another Netflix special, and Carlos Mencia was charged with 12 felony tax counts for allegedly not filing returns and not reporting $8.7 million. He mentions Rob Schneider’s posts about paying players’ Pride Night fines, Ryan Hamilton’s Netflix special after being hit by a bus, and highlights Jon Stewart’s Elmo/Knicks segment plus Triumph at a Knicks parade. 00:14 Chappelle at Obama Center 00:44 Tan Suit Throwback 01:56 Pratt History Shorts 03:30 USA 250 Nostalgia 04:34 Gervais and Mencia News 06:12 Rob Schneider Pride Rant 06:50 Ryan Hamilton Bus Story 08:41 Elmo Picks Team USA 09:38 Jon Stewart vs Elmo 15:29 Triumph at Knicks Parade 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 .
