    Johnny Mac shares comedy news including Taco Bell partnering with Kevin Hart to promote the Live Más Open on Nov. 2, where fans can qualify via Topgolf’s Shot Shuffle or an online sweepstakes to compete in a team golf event for a chance to bring back a chosen Taco Bell menu item; qualifiers run through Sept. 27, with a quote from Topgolf CEO David emphasizing accessibility. Chris Rock, at TIFF, says it’s harder to be Tom Cruise than U.S. president. Stavros Halkias tells GQ he’s chasing one undeniable stand-up special and continues podcasting mainly for money and schedule, wondering if podcasts drain comedians’ material.

    Chris Rock on Fame, Stavros Halikis on Leaving Cum Town, and Eric Idle’s Monty Python Dispute

    Johnny Mac delivers comedy news featuring Chris Rock discussing how fame has shifted from perks like free stuff to realizing fan interactions can make someone’s day, and accepting celebrity as part of who he is. A GQ profile of Stavros Halikis covers fan encounters, the origins and appeal of the “Cum Town” podcast, its unexpected success, and his decision to leave despite major income to focus on his own work after self-funding projects. Jay Pharoah says comedians help people laugh through pain, notes Jay-Z enjoys his impression, and jokes about audience members sitting up front. Eric Idle tells The Telegraph about Monty Python tensions, rights and “Spamalot” royalties, the failed 1999 reunion and a scrapped final film idea, the 2014 O2 reunion’s origin, John Cleese remarks, and changes to the group’s veto/board dynamics. The Chicago Reader segment describes comedians’ pre-show eating habits, favoring bland, protein-rich food and avoiding stomach trouble.   00:12 Chris Rock on Fame 00:49 Stavros Bagel Fame Woes 01:45 Come Town Origins 02:54 Quitting at Peak Money 03:55 Sandler Song and Future Collabs 04:26 Jay Pharoah on Comedy 04:51 Monty Python Feud Begins 05:43 Royalties and Reunion Shows 06:16 Cleese Idle Fallout 07:10 Veto Power and Bitterness 08:19 Comedians Pre Show Eating 10:07 Sunday Sign Off Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support.

    Carlos Mencia on Tax Evasion Charges, Chris Rock on LA, and Robby Hoffman on Comedy Limits

    Johnny Mac covers an interview with Carlos Mencia, who faces 12 LA County felony tax-evasion counts, has pled not guilty, and says he never “evaded,” expects past tax years to be filed soon, and titled his tour “Keep Me Out of Jail,” while reflecting on joke-stealing fallout, Joe Rogan’s role in amplifying it, and a decade of therapy about being a jerk. Chris Rock tells Variety he winters in LA, calling it a complicated place where fame has shifted from greatness to notoriety and where “dreams” drive extreme behavior. Robby Hoffman tells NPR she’s still figuring out what’s off-limits, discusses backlash over jokes about non-binary people, recalls bombing her first set, and says she’d host a late-night show. Other items include Stavros Halkias’s Vulture Q&A, Matthew Broussard on Cajun-Jewish heritage and Citi Bike station goals, Travis Kelce praising Adam Sandler, and a Toronto Guardian profile of comedian Dustin Searcy.   00:13 Mencia Tax Case Update 00:38 Tour Name and Backstory 01:57 Not Guilty Explanation 02:29 Cancel Culture and Rogan 04:23 Therapy and Accountability 05:04 Chris Rock on Los Angeles 05:57 Robby Hoffman Boundaries 07:04 Stavros Breakfast Confession 07:47 No Comedy Stock Market 08:09 Matthew Broussard Heritage 09:23 Kelce Praises Sandler 09:38 Toronto Comic Spotlight 10:55 Wrap Up and Tomorrow Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support.

    Mulaney’s Naughty Emmys Monologue, Colbert’s Kimmel Visit

    Johnny Mac recaps daily comedy news after falling behind due to jury duty, focusing on the Emmys and Stephen Colbert’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. He highlights a widely shared John Mulaney Emmys bit about male TV actors and reads a passage from Frank Vincent’s A Guy’s Guide to Being a Man’s Man. Colbert wins an Emmy for The Late Show’s final year and uses his speech to credit writers and encourage hiring his staff; he later visits Kimmel, jokes about CBS, gets his beard shaved on-air, and gives Kimmel a Captain America shield from The Late Show set to mount permanently.
