Johnny Mac records Daily Comedy News from a dark basement during a multi-day power outage as out-of-state crews reconnect lines. He reports a People Magazine item claiming Adam Sandler quickly agreed to officiate Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding and kept it low-key, and notes he couldn’t pull a planned Michael Loftus comment due to no internet. USA Today quotes comedians criticizing Louis CK’s Netflix return, including remarks from Margaret Cho, W. Kamau Bell, and Steve Hofstetter; Mac adds an anecdote about Hofstetter’s past album art targeting Larry the Cable Guy. He discusses a Rob Shuter Substack claiming Stephen Colbert is struggling after his show’s cancellation and is writing, including work on a Lord of the Rings film. In a “Bad Ideas” segment he covers Leslie Jones’ HGTV series Roast My Rental, Chelsea Handler’s Dear Chelsea podcast network launch, and Armisen/Brownstein’s Portlandia rewatch podcast. He also mentions Bobby Flay enjoying golf with Colin Jost and profiles UK satirical candidate Count Binface (formerly Lord Buckethead).
