Johnny Mac shares comedy news including Taco Bell partnering with Kevin Hart to promote the Live Más Open on Nov. 2, where fans can qualify via Topgolf’s Shot Shuffle or an online sweepstakes to compete in a team golf event for a chance to bring back a chosen Taco Bell menu item; qualifiers run through Sept. 27, with a quote from Topgolf CEO David emphasizing accessibility. Chris Rock, at TIFF, says it’s harder to be Tom Cruise than U.S. president. Stavros Halkias tells GQ he’s chasing one undeniable stand-up special and continues podcasting mainly for money and schedule, wondering if podcasts drain comedians’ material. A Notre Dame paper reviews Jim Gaffigan (with opener Ted Alexandro). The LA Times profiles Jo Koy discussing his new Netflix special, stepdad material, and healthier eating on the road. Mac notes late-night August ratings, Wanda Sykes’ comments on Saudi comedy festivals, and a Toronto Guardian interview with comedian Sam Sferrazza.
