Johnny Mac delivers a daily comedy news briefing led by Mark Normand’s account on Tuesdays with Stories of Netflix wanting a "Muslim joke" removed from promo clips, which a Netflix source strongly denies, saying only his reps were on the call and the story is embellished.

The episode also covers Vince Vaughn telling Theo Von late-night shows became agenda-driven and less authentic than podcasts; Johnny’s continued criticism of Stephen Colbert amid news of a new Lord of the Rings project involving Colbert and his son; costs and ratings for SNL UK; SNL’s new short-form “The Rundown” with Colin Jost and the next live show on April 4 with Jack Black and Jack White; Last One Laughing UK’s return; Tim Dillon on TSA lines; Louis Theroux with Stuart Lee; Netflix developing a scripted comedy with Hannah Berner and Paige DeSorbo; Eliza Schlesinger’s Jeep campaign; a Laughing on the Lake festival headlined by Bert Kreischer; Melbourne Comedy Festival picks; Langston Kerman joining an NBC PI comedy; and a last-day vote reminder for Comedy Survivor.
