W. Kamau Bell Slams Nate Bargatze, Mencia Bail Fight, and Letterman’s Archive Expands
Johnny Mac covers comedy news including W. Kamau Bell’s Substack criticism of Nate Bargatze for being photographed “partying with fascists,” plus Bell’s comments about avoiding places where “fascists coagulate” and his sharing a 2014 photo with Joe Rogan. Rogan recounts telling Donald Trump backstage at a UFC event he hoped they wouldn’t die in a terrorist attack, to which Trump replied, “We gotta go somehow.” Carlos Mencia’s lawyers file an emergency motion seeking release from bail in his felony tax case, arguing prosecutors staged an excessive raid and that jail is causing major financial harm. Roy Wood Jr. discusses Pittsburgh plans and his Daily Show experience; Michael Che teases a new standup special and asks what promo platforms matter now. Johnny Mac critiques Bob Iger’s claim Kimmel’s post–Charlie Kirk joke was removed for “bad taste,” not politics. Worldwide Pants expands Letterman’s 6,000-episode archive distribution, Colbert’s writers make their own Emmy FYC video, Canal+ develops a French SNL special, and Jemaine Clement says more Flight of the Conchords is unlikely though a film idea lingers. 00:23 Bargatze UFC Backlash 01:43 Rogan Backstage Story 02:07 Carlos Mencia Bail Fight 03:22 Roy Wood Jr Weekend Plans 03:55 Michael Che Special Tease 04:31 Iger Kimmel Controversy 06:34 Letterman Archive Expansion 07:33 Colbert Writers Emmy Push 08:25 French SNL Attempt 09:54 Conchords Future Update 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.
