  DCN Live - Mulaney’s Late-Night Misfire, Rosie O’Donnell Rumors & Arthur Treacher’s Returns

  Aug 27, 20265 min

  Johnny Mac records poolside while his basement studio is cleaned, noting he finally got the pool reasonably clean. He’s surprised his college students don’t know Bill Burr, briefly comments on Theo Von’s podcast with Nate Bargatze, and revisits why a Rosie O’Donnell late-night show “is just not gonna happen,” citing her age, budget pressures, and that Netflix couldn’t draw viewers to John Mulaney’s late-night show despite high-profile guests like David Letterman, Jerry Seinfeld, and others. Drawing on his radio experience, he argues Mulaney’s show was misproduced because it should have focused on individual guests, following a “Johnny Carson theory.” He also mentions Rosie responding to a White House comment with a Trump photo, and shares a Cleveland.com story about an Arthur Treacher’s opening in Lakewood, including Bob Hope’s role in helping launch the chain.

  Tim Dillon, Jon Stewart and Bill Burr Lead a New Comedy Podcast Ad Ranke

  Aug 26, 202616 min

  Johnny Mac reviews Oxford Road’s Orbit study ranking the top 15 “efficient for advertisers” comedy podcasts, noting the list’s volatility, the absence of many A-list hosts, and that several high-efficiency shows cost under $2,500 per episode; entries include Crash Dummies Podcast (No. 1), The Foil Hat, Adam Carolla, The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart, The Tim Dillon Show, The Toast, Monday Morning Podcast with Bill Burr, Kill Tony, Bad Friends, and more. He then cites a New York Times piece on comedians shifting from video clips to Instagram carousel “comic strip” panels for faster, silent consumption. He spotlights Jonathan Kite’s Anthony Bourdain impression, covers Gabriel Iglesias’ limited-time Mexihana menu collaboration at Yamava, notes Leonard Ouzts’ debut special, and reports an Israeli court ordering comedian Vova Tomarkin to pay $3,000 for alleged weight-mocking comments. 00:28 Top Comedy Podcasts Ranker 01:42 Surprising Podcast Picks 04:04 Advertiser Efficiency Takeaways 05:01 Comics Using Photo Carousels 06:46 Jonathan Kite Bourdain Bit 08:01 Fluffy Fusion Menu Collab 11:30 Leonard Ouzts Special Release 12:43 Court Case Crowd Work Limits Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support .

  DCN Live - Rosie O’Donnell Late-Night Talk Show Idea Is Insane

  Aug 25, 20263 min

  Johnny Mac discusses a Variety article suggesting Rosie O’Donnell could get a late-night show after guest-hosting Jimmy Kimmel Live!, arguing there’s little market for it and noting a White House spokesperson issued a statement criticizing O’Donnell, who has moved to Ireland. He also covers comedian Nate Bargatze launching a new company, No Pictures, for “edgier content” while keeping Nateland as family-friendly, and reports Nateland is developing an animated project called Nateville compared to King of the Hill. Finally, he highlights the Fastball Comedy Festival at Sloan Park in Mesa, Arizona, on October 17–18, headlined by Dave Chappelle and Tom Segura, and described as a phone-free event.
