    DCN Live - Mulaney’s Late-Night Misfire, Rosie O’Donnell Rumors & Arthur Treacher’s Returns

    Johnny Mac records poolside while his basement studio is cleaned, noting he finally got the pool reasonably clean. He’s surprised his college students don’t know Bill Burr, briefly comments on Theo Von’s podcast with Nate Bargatze, and revisits why a Rosie O’Donnell late-night show “is just not gonna happen,” citing her age, budget pressures, and that Netflix couldn’t draw viewers to John Mulaney’s late-night show despite high-profile guests like David Letterman, Jerry Seinfeld, and others. Drawing on his radio experience, he argues Mulaney’s show was misproduced because it should have focused on individual guests, following a “Johnny Carson theory.” He also mentions Rosie responding to a White House comment with a Trump photo, and shares a Cleveland.com story about an Arthur Treacher’s opening in Lakewood, including Bob Hope’s role in helping launch the chain.

    DCN Live in the Rain - Dane Cook’s Brother, Seth Meyers’ Break, Jay Leno’s Hustle & Weird Al Tiny Desk

    Recording poolside as the rain pours, the host shares a comedic interaction with AI while trying to understand why Dane Cook’s brother is named Darryl McCauley; after giving incorrect explanations, the AI admits the mistake and clarifies they are half-brothers with different fathers and a shared mother, Donna Jean Ford. The host reiterates a desire to “make 12:30 great again,” arguing NBC should replace Seth Meyers with Chris Fleming, noting Meyers is taking seven weeks off and has launched a YouTube video podcast of “A Closer Look.” A Jay Leno anecdote follows: at a 2026 Burbank International Film Festival dinner for his Vanguard Award, Leno insisted the presentation happen before dinner because he had a 7:30 gig at Flappers. The episode ends with notes on Weird Al’s NPR Tiny Desk appearances, including his 2010 set.
