Johnny Mac recaps The Hollywood Reporter’s comedians roundtable recorded in May at the Georgian Hotel with Marc Maron, Nikki Glaser, Wanda Sykes, Leanne Morgan, and Julio Torres, focusing on fears like complacency and cancellation and quoting Maron on talking to himself and Glaser comparing standup to sex and discussing pressure to work clean from bookers, agents, and TV; Maron jokes he stays a little dirty to keep success away and notes he can do clean sets. He notes Hannah Berner’s new Hulu special, None of My Business, and her comments about making specials, confidence, and wanting the special to be a comfort watch. Bert Kreischer tells Fox News about blood clots that forced him to stop drinking and how it may have saved him in the tour bus fire. Other items: Lori Kilmartin on Gen Z not hanging out in person, Michael Che wanting to write for WWE, Patton Oswalt criticizing food “bowls,” comedy stock picks (buy Tracy Morgan, sell Nate Berkus), Guy Branum on trivia, and OpenMicX data on open mic nights and top states.
