Johnny Mac delivers poolside comedy news, starting with a Variety conversation between Tracy Morgan and Marcello Hernandez about bonding on SNL, Hernandez’s plain-slice pizza order, Eddie Murphy advice, a “Domingo” character note, and Morgan’s controversial remark about teachers. Mac also recaps a NorthJersey.com poll of favorite New Jersey comedians led by Jon Stewart, and discusses Jessica Kirson’s story about being scolded on The View for not saying “Star Jones Reynolds,” followed by Kirson using a gay slur about Jones’s ex-husband.
