Johnny Mac delivers Daily Comedy News, praising Tom Segura’s Bad Thoughts Season 2 and noting Segura’s Joe Rogan Experience discussion about the perceived decline of Los Angeles and people being either realistic or delusional about it. Nikki Glaser jokes she won’t be invited to Taylor Swift’s wedding, while The Star claims she’s networking for a potential Jennifer Aniston movie connection and cites Variety saying Glaser will write and star in an edgy romantic comedy. Patton Oswalt comments on Bill Maher trying to placate Trump and argues defying Trump is the only approach. A Rick and Morty movie is in early development, with Dan Harmon describing it as a big-budget 90-minute adventure. Derek Stroup explains moving to NYC as a business move to avoid being boxed in as a Southern comic; Nate Bargatze cites Bill Burr as a mentor and discusses staying clean. Craig Ferguson avoids politics in his show; Margaret Cho condemns Trump. Additional notes include Toronto comedian David Seeley, Ali Siddiq on crowd work and punctuality, and Deon Cole criticizing forced crowd-work-heavy sets.
