He covers comedian Mary Beth Barone’s support of Mamdani and her criticism of Democratic Party leadership. From Just for Laughs Montreal’s State of the Industry, he highlights jokes and commentary from Jay Jurden and Gianmarco Soresi about various comedians and the festival. He then spotlights Seth Simons’ FOIA-based Comedy Fee Tracker database (humorism.xyz) with reported booking fees for major comics. Finally, he gives “buy” recommendations: Mary Beth Barone, Stavros Halkias (new special coming), and Jimmy Fallon, citing a USA Today profile on Fallon’s new short-form microdrama and recent ratings momentum. 00:17 9/11 Benefit Lineup 01:50 Mamdani Supporter Spotlight 02:33 JFL Industry Roast 05:10 Comedy Fee Tracker 07:53 Comedy Stock Picks 09:07 Jimmy Fallon Fluff Piece Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support .
