    Dave Chappelle at the Obama Center, Chris Pratt History Shorts, and Elmo’s Betting Problem

    23/06/2026 | 16 min
    Johnny Mac delivers comedy news, starting with Dave Chappelle speaking at the opening of the Obama Presidential Center, calling it “medicine” amid dark political times and joking that people miss scandals as small as Obama’s tan suit, noting multiple ex-presidents smiling together. He covers a US State Department–funded public-diplomacy series of untitled “Pratt shorts” pairing Chris Pratt with historian Doris Kearns Goodwin to teach constitutional values through short live-action/animation episodes. Mac laments the lack of excitement around the upcoming USA 250 compared with the 1976 bicentennial. He reports Ricky Gervais confirmed another Netflix special, and Carlos Mencia was charged with 12 felony tax counts for allegedly not filing returns and not reporting $8.7 million. He mentions Rob Schneider’s posts about paying players’ Pride Night fines, Ryan Hamilton’s Netflix special after being hit by a bus, and highlights Jon Stewart’s Elmo/Knicks segment plus Triumph at a Knicks parade.

    Jay Leno talks about the Death of Late Night, everyone gets mad

    22/06/2026 | 11 min
    Johnny Mac recaps comedy and late-night news, spotlighting Jay Leno’s Deadline interview. Leno says podcasts are the new talk shows and calls Joe Rogan the new Johnny Carson, arguing late night lost swagger due to excessive commercials, fragmented segments, and the end of appointment viewing as audiences move to YouTube and streaming; he also recounts being dropped by an agent, negotiating for himself, and getting a call from Jeff Zucker saying he made a mistake during the Tonight Show/Conan era. Mac also critiques a Late Nighter piece on YouTube show Outside Tonight for low views, notes Good Night with Ben Gleib’s strong numbers, and highlights Variety’s profile of Josh Johnson, who posts hour-long weekly YouTube sets and writes 125 jokes a day. Other items include a new Willie Mack special, Bert Kreischer on pandemic timing, and Bill Lawrence discussing Scrubs production costs and legacy.

    Netflix Renews Kevin Hart’s Funny AF; Chris Tucker’s Celibacy Reveal and Robby Hoffman's real name

    21/06/2026 | 8 min
    Johnny Mac covers Netflix’s announcement of season two of Kevin Hart’s comedy competition series Funny AF with Kevin Hart, noting Hart returns as host, the show and Hart have Emmy nominations, and the new season won’t arrive until 2027. Chris Tucker revealed during a Las Vegas set that he has been celibate for more than three years while focusing on finding lasting love and marriage. Marc Maron discusses his special Panicked as his best work, describing its arc, editing process to 73 minutes, and concerns that platform-driven viral culture lowers the bar and makes comedy disposable. Jeff Ross tells Deadline how roasts have grown globally on Netflix, remain a rare “anything goes” outlet, help launch comics like Nikki Glaser, and says more Bumping Mics depends on Dave Attell. Robbie Hoffman explains changing her name from Rivka Sarah. Janelle James is developing Hulu’s Rock City. A music-use fee from The Late Show will be donated to World Central Kitchen. Comedian Bita Judaki describes her style and influences.
