Johnny Mac covers comedy news including Netflix developing Grown Ups 3 with a script by Adam Sandler and Tim Herlihy and expected returns from David Spade, Rob Schneider, Kevin James and Chris Rock, with a Europe trip plot involving spreading a deceased friend’s ashes. He mentions the visual-heavy trailer for Will Ferrell’s golf comedy series The Hawk, Nick Kroll’s new series A Hundred Percent with Sam Richardson, Jason Mantzoukas and Vanessa Bayer, and Wanda Sykes’ Netflix special Legacy. Netflix also signed Mike Epps for two more specials after Delusional’s strong performance. Trevor Noah announced a YouTube travel series, Trevor Noah’s World Tour, and Mo Amer will host the 86th Peabody Awards. The episode highlights Stephen Colbert’s comments on The Late Show ending, late-night host questions, his views on Trump and authoritarians, and that he’s working on a Warner Bros. Lord of the Rings script. It also notes Shane Mauss on 800 Pound Gorilla’s YouTube, the return of the ISH Edinburgh Comedy Awards in 2026 backed by James Corden, and a review and clip of New Zealand comedian Henry Yen.
