Johnny Mac covers several comedy stories: Live Nation Studios, Kevin Hart’s Heartbeat, and All Things Comedy are producing Golf Trip, an ensemble film starring Tom Segura, Andrew Santino, and Timothy Simons about three friends whose annual trip is disrupted when they’re paired with an intrusive solo golfer; Mac is skeptical the project will be good. Ron White on Joe Rogan’s podcast calls Kill Tony an important launching pad only if comics are prepared, discusses why he bans openers from doing crowd work, and shares health changes after moving to Austin. Carrot Top (Scott Thompson) is hospitalized and recovering after a reported suicide attempt, and TMZ reports an alleged extortion threat involving a USB recording. Mac comments on Nikki Glaser’s Sunday Night Football opening featuring a Taylor Swift song, notes Vulture’s “comedians you should and will know” list, mentions Kimmel’s ratings beating Fallon’s, and relays criticism of Colin Jost and Pete Davidson’s hot, poorly hosted Snapple ferry show.
