Poolside host Johnny Mac covers fan reactions to Conan O’Brien’s slicked-back “Greaser Conan” hair on his podcast with Molly Shannon, including jokes likening him to a drug lord. He reports on David Letterman’s Montreal Comedy Festival appearance featuring Paul Shaffer, a big Canadian flag, “O Canada,” jokes apologizing for American leaders, remarks that Canada is not for sale, guest Will Arnett (SmartLess, Arrested Development, BoJack Horseman), a Will Arnett-themed top 10 list, and a closing singalong of “Takin’ Care of Business” including French lyrics. Mac notes Netflix’s Kevin Hart film “72 Hours,” Hart’s barbs at LeBron James, and Cosmo/Hola interviews with Ben Marshall and Marcello Hernandez about the movie and comedy. He previews Weird Al’s tour setlist and the Just for Laughs schedule, makes Comedy Stock Market “buys,” and plugs upcoming Rory Scovel and Whitmer Thomas specials plus Brian Bates’ new special.
