Johnny Mac covers comedy news including a new trailer for Nikki Glaser’s Hulu special (April 24) and her Armchair Expert comments about money, appearance, and beauty standards in entertainment. He reports Dan Soder will tape his first full Netflix special June 13 at San Francisco’s Throckmorton Theatre. He discusses an interview with comedian Pete Correale (“the Gator”), his work opening for Sebastian Maniscalco, and Correale’s plan to release a new standup special and focus on clip-driven promotion. Mack weighs in on CBS selling late-night time slots to Byron Allen, and highlights backlash to Louis CK headlining Netflix Is a Joke (Hollywood Bowl, May 5) alongside Eliza Skinner’s essay on broader industry misconduct. In a “comedy stock market” segment, he sells Glaser and buys Louis CK, Soder, and Correale. Other items include Jenny Zigrino’s After Birth taping May 13 at Brooklyn Improv, Jury Duty bonus episodes, and the opening of Greenpoint Comedy Club in NYC.
