Johnny Mac recaps comedy news, highlighting a Atlantic piece on Trump satire fatigue: Alec Baldwin says Trump is no longer funny, while Anthony Atamanuik describes The President Show as issue-focused despite Trump being an “albatross,” and the article notes the left-leaning satire boom faded, with Sarah Cooper’s pandemic-era rise and later Trump portrayals by James Austin Johnson and Shane Gillis. Mac also cites Atsuko Akatsuka’s Guardian interview (a dog-walking Yelp complaint, advice about jealousy from a friend, and hotel habits), David Spade on jealousy and improv trust, and a Ronnie Chieng–Josh Johnson Interview Magazine chat about career ruts and releasing long-form stand-up. Other items: BBC renews Diane Morgan’s sci-fi comedy Android, Cam Patterson joins film Love, Love, Billboard’s top July comedy concerts, LA Times booker picks, Matt Matthews’ pronouns controversy, and Dan Tiernan’s Fringe review.
