Johnny Mac covers Daily Comedy News, leading with a long Conan O’Brien clip joking that he’s “suing Harvard” over various student grievances while riffing on the administration’s claims about foreign students. He explains CBS’ late-night deal with Byron Allen: Allen pays $15 million a year to lease the 11:30 slot and sell ads himself, meaning CBS profits even if ratings are low; the first night drew 878,000 viewers, and CBS cites a shift from losing about $40 million annually to $15 million profit. Patton Oswalt tells Vice his new special Tea and Scotch argues AI can’t replicate lived perspective and chose a small Madison venue; it premieres on YouTube June 9. Tom Segura partners with Fox Creator Studios on multiple projects. Nate Bargatze discusses clean comedy, Rob Schneider tweets about Adam Carolla’s Walk of Fame amid Jimmy Kimmel remarks, and new releases from Greg Proops, Jamel Johnson, and comments from Nish Kumar on fellow comics and Riyadh-related “cultural washing.”
