Gabe Iglesias’ DEFIANTLY sells out, Maron's Chris Fleming Praise, Scrubs Ratings, and Netflix Podcast Deal Risk
Johnny Mac covers late-night jokes from Jimmy Fallon and Michael Kosta about the ongoing Iran story and Trump’s lack of a plan for Iran’s leadership, plus a Colbert riff. He reacts to a Hollywood Walk of Fame clip of Gabriel Iglesias calling himself a “sellout” for taking Saudi Arabia money, calling it a bad look. Marc Maron praises Chris Fleming’s HBO special as inventive and hopeful for standup, and Fleming also appears on Caleb Hearron’s podcast. New Scrubs posts 11.36 million cross-platform viewers in five days, prompting talk of a likely season two. Jim Jefferies says Shane Gillis holds the comedy “championship belt,” while Taylor Tomlinson discusses the difficulty of cruise-ship and church gigs and explains leaving After Midnight due to workload and health. Deadline reports comedians’ hesitation to move podcasts to Netflix because deals require removing new video from YouTube and may undercut broader revenue and leverage for future specials. 00:17 Late Night Iran Jokes 00:57 Gabe Iglesias Walk of Fame 02:06 Marc Maron Praises Chris Fleming 03:22 Scrubs Ratings and Hulu Rant 05:19 Jim Jefferies Comedy Belt goes to Shane Gillis 06:22 Taylor Tomlinson Tough Gigs 08:18 After Midnight Exit Explained 10:26 Comedy Stock Market Segment 11:30 Netflix Comedy Podcast Deal Debate 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.
