Chris Rock on how "Bring the Pain" would have to be like Shane Gillis

Johnny Mac covers comedy news led by Chris Rock’s New York Times interview: he discusses post-COVID therapy, insecurity, his film Misty Green, why he won’t give a “Hollywood is bad” speech, and says Bring the Pain would be bigger today because it would be less mainstream-lauded; he also says he’s moved on from Will Smith’s slap and critiques the Times’ lack of nuance, citing Bill Burr not being reviewed after selling out MSG. Bill Burr tells Variety he wouldn’t lunch with Mark Zuckerberg because friendships can limit satire, which some read as a Rogan dig. Nate Bargatze discusses exhaustion, being a Ford spokesperson, and his vehicles. Pete Davidson comments on NYC Mayor Mamdani and Staten Island politics. Leslie Jones recalls starting comedy in Colorado and reviving old jokes. New projects include podcasts Jokes on News and Great Job News, Marianne Ways’ zine Stories from the Room, and Vulture’s spotlight on comedian Grace Johnson and her goals. 00:12 Chris Rock Therapy Talk 00:37 Hollywood Reality Check 01:21 Bring the Pain Today 01:42 Times Versus Comedy 02:15 Will Smith Slap Update 02:30 Bill Burr Rogan Dig 02:55 Nate Bargatze Ford Deal 05:16 Pete Davidson Staten Island 05:47 Leslie Jones Early Jokes 06:31 New Comedy Podcasts 08:08 Marianne Ways Comedy Zine 09:11 Grace Johnson Spotlight 10:38 Wrap Up and Goodbye Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support .
