Nate Bargatze’s ‘Greatest Average American’ Premieres, and Scrubs is back!
Johnny Mac hosts Daily Comedy News and focuses on ABC’s TV night featuring the Scrubs reboot and Nate Bargatze’s new game show The Greatest Average American, premiering right after Scrubs. He shares the show’s premise (contestants predict how everyday Americans think and live), the $67,920 “average American salary” grand prize, and Bargatze’s comments about creating the show, doing challenges without advance knowledge, and hoping the prize tracks changes in the economy. Johnny compares the concept to an older Jim Breuer/Jeff Foxworthy bit about being “in touch,” and jokes about his own trivia night plans and possible jury duty. He also runs through Chowhound’s ranking of John Mulaney’s non-alcoholic beers (Classic Pale third, Belgian Wit second, Original Pilsner first), mentions Ready Steady Cut’s 3.5/5 review of Taylor Tomlinson’s new special (including discussion of religious trauma and coming out as bisexual), and reports that Russell Brand pleaded not guilty to charges in London with trial expected in June. 00:00 Daily Comedy News Intro 00:21 Scrubs And Nate Game Show 03:08 Out Of Touch Game 05:45 Prize Money And Format 08:58 Mulaney NA Beer Ranking 11:13 Taylor Tomlinson Review 12:23 Russell Brand Court Update 12:57 Jackie Kashian Special Plug 14:38 Scrubs Reboot Reviews 19:16 Dr Cox 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.
