    Dave Chappelle Backlash Over Charlie Kirk Jokes
    Dave Chappelle is facing backlash after clips surfaced that appear to show him joking about Charlie Kirk’s death at Madison Square Garden. On Daily Comedy News, Johnny Mac breaks down what’s heard in the clips, why one line may be a callback to Tony Hinchcliffe’s George Floyd joke at The Roast of Kevin Hart, and how Rob Schneider and Elon Musk reacted. He also covers Erika Kirk’s broader response to jokes about political assassination.

    Johnny Mac reviews Druski’s Saturday Night Live episode, looks at the star-studded goodnights featuring Chris Rock, Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler, and asks whether John Mulaney can get SNL Season 52 back on track.

    Also in this episode, Donna Motsinger asks a judge to hold Bill Cosby in contempt over a $59.25 million civil judgment she says remains unpaid. Russell Brand is sentenced to 10 years and six months in prison after being convicted of rape and sexual assault, and Daniel Sloss explains how speaking out about Brand helped inspire the title of his Bitter tour.
    Plus, Wednesday picks from the New York Comedy Festival, including Josh Gondelman and Eddie Pepitone, and the Toronto comedy duo Creepy Boys’ unusual explanation for an air-quality dispute behind their eviction case.

    Nikki Glaser’s $250,000 Gig and the Sushi She Asked For PLUS John Mulaney Gets Smart
    Nikki Glaser’s reported $250,000 Gator Growl contract came with a very specific request: Whole Foods sushi. Johnny Mac goes through the University of Florida gig’s backstage rider, from cucumber rolls and peanut M&M’s to gold and silver Sharpies. Then he gets his own M&M’s and spills them on the floor.

    John Mulaney explains why he wants to play an overconfident spy in a Get Smart reboot, and Johnny Mac wonders how much anyone remembers about the Steve Carell version. Tony Hinchcliffe takes a seat at PokerStars’ Big Game on Tour, and Matt Rife explains how he makes an arena feel like a theater and why he skips topical jokes.

    "MAGA Comedian" Nate Bargatze's new Netflix special
    Johnny Mac covers The Daily Beast’s framing of Nate Bargatze as a “MAGA comedian” ahead of his fourth Netflix hour, Good For Nathan, out November 24, referencing photos of him with Trump allies at a White House lawn UFC event. Stavros Halkias says UFC’s pro-Trump posture has dampened his enjoyment of MMA, though he still sometimes watches. Gianmarco Soresi announces his first solo Netflix special, God Forbid, filmed at Chicago’s Thalia Hall and focused on marriage, fatherhood, religion substitutes, and mental health, arriving December 3. Colin Jost appears in a Mary Kay holiday campaign ad. The episode then details Russell Brand being found guilty of rape and sexual assault, facing sentencing and further investigation, with reactions from Katherine Ryan and comedian Katie Brand, plus past Trump tweets about Brand. It closes with New York Comedy Festival highlights including Stand Up for Heroes and “Wrong! An F’d Up Game Show.”

    Michael Che Explains Why Hosting SNL Is So Brutal
    Johnny Mac covers comedy news while losing his voice, starting with Michael Che telling Trevor Noah that SNL is uniquely vulnerable for celebrity hosts and outlining the frantic weeklong process from pitches and table reads to rewrites, pre-tapes, rehearsals, and the live show. Jimmy Carr, on Joe Rogan, argues comedy has a natural ~92-beats-per-minute rhythm and says Mitch Hedberg’s inconsistent pacing meant he alternated between killing and dying despite being, pound for pound, the best joke writer of the last 30 years. Nikki Glaser says she’s become more thoughtful as she’s gotten bigger, wrestles with confidence and likability, and loves making risky material work. Jerry Seinfeld names four favorite Seinfeld episodes, sparking fan debate. Bert Kreischer discusses how food, booze, and laughter connect families and help his interviews. Crystal Hefner calls Jon Lovitz a Playboy Mansion regular; Lovitz responds. Vulture spotlights Ron Taylor, who emphasizes cooking and timing in comedy.

    Chris Rock on Divorce and the Oscars Slap
    Chris Rock, in GQ,  discusses his divorce, stopping porn years ago, coping with personal questions in a gossipy culture, and wanting to move on from the Will Smith Oscars slap while focusing on writing, directing, and possibly returning to stand-up. Conan O’Brien addresses comedy’s role in a depressing political moment, says he avoids nightly political jokes, criticizes aspects of Vivek Ramaswamy’s campaign, and calls the current climate nihilistic; Mark Maron jokes that people should protest constantly but he has potting soil and plants. The episode also mentions Bill Hader’s anxiety in a group chat with Fred Armisen, John Mulaney, and Jimmy Kimmel; previews Boston’s 30th Comics Come Home benefit with Dennis Leary and a star lineup; covers Carl’s Jr.’s steakhouse burger ads with Bert Kreischer; gives a “comedy stock market” buy on Maron; lists New York Comedy Festival picks; and cites Lou Wilson on spending $8,200 on a Joker car wrap and worries about comedy shifting to short-form internet content.

    Marc Maron to Receive Inaugural Richard Lewis Award PLUS Theo Von WNBA Talk
    Marc Maron will receive the inaugural Richard Lewis Award at Comedy Gives Back’s Richard Lewis Humor and Humanity Gala (“A Night of Comedy and Neurosis”) on Nov. 15 at the Hollywood Improv, hosted by Jeff Garlin with Nick Kroll presenting; the event is sponsored by HBO and the Johnny Carson Foundation, and Lewis (who died Feb. 2024) supported the organization and served on its board. WNBA player Sophie Cunningham says Theo Von repeatedly steered their podcast discussion toward WNBA dating and lesbian relationships. In Denmark, comedian Rasmus Walbridge was allegedly tricked for four months by a hidden-camera prank show, which was pulled after outrage. Pittsburgh’s Steel City Cellar faced backlash over patrons’ offensive costumes and issued a new denial-of-entry policy; Yelp paused reviews. Chelsea Handler recounts a bad, “cheap” date with Bobby Flay. The script also mentions Letterman and Matt Damon as uncredited extras on HBO’s The Gilded Age, Golden Globes comedy submissions, and unnamed SF-rooted comedians facing sexual assault allegations with some show cancellations.

    Trump Rants, Maher Fires Back - Rogan Takes on Polls
    Johnny Mac delivers Election Day comedy news, urging listeners to vote while covering The New York Times report that Trump dictated a Bill Maher rant aboard Air Force One; Maher responds on Real Time with jokes, denies calling or inviting himself to the White House, and riffs on being labeled a “major pothead,” sparking Taylor Swift fan backlash. He recaps Joe Rogan mocking polls as skewed toward people who answer them, criticizing unidentified militarized ICE tactics, and expressing disappointment that Trump’s “no more war” promise didn’t hold. Mac notes John Oliver’s warning that Trump may claim elections are rigged and argues for big Democratic turnout. He summarizes Russell Brand’s lawyer’s closing argument asserting consent and innocence, shares his LAX wallet/ID ordeal resolved via TSA touchless ID, mentions missing the NYC Marathon (2026 grand marshal Tracy Morgan), and highlights SNL UK’s viral “Nigerian Wicked” plus THR’s profile of comedian Laura Ramoso.
