Johnny Mac recaps John Mulaney’s Wrigley Field show, hosted by Richard Kind with sets/appearances from Buddy Guy, Fred Armisen, and David Letterman, and quotes reactions praising Mulaney’s two-hour performance. He riffs on a Daily Beast item about Nate Bargatze’s Dan Patrick Show interview, then runs through New York Comedy Festival headliners and notes it will include Variety’s 10 Comics to Watch on Nov. 12. He summarizes Just for Laughs Montreal announcements, including awards for Chris Fleming, Atsuko Okatsuka, Lisa Gilroy, Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias, and a legacy tribute for Bruce Hills, plus Gianmarco Soresi and Jay Jurden delivering the State of the Industry address. Other items include Margaret Cho’s TikTok about Lindsey Graham, Jimmy Kimmel spoofing Mitch McConnell, Ali G at Wimbledon, James Corden’s Fox After Hours ratings, Prince Harry on a comedy podcast, and Turkey blocking a comedian’s YouTube special and jailing him pending trial.
