Episode Description from the Publisher

Johnny Mac covers comedy news including Ford launching an ad campaign starring Nate Bargatze promoting dealership centers and mobile service with pickup/delivery, plus Bargatze discussing his self-focused, relatable comedy on Fox News. Tom Segura announces a 30-city “Preposterous” tour starting January 8 in Baton Rouge with presale at 10:00 AM and general sale Friday, October 2, and he’s listed for the Fastball Comedy Festival October 17 in Mesa, Arizona alongside Bill Burr and Dave Chappelle. Matt Rife also appears on Fox News. Mac previews upcoming episodes in his feed (a Bill Burr deep dive and a New York Times TV list reaction) and plugs his new podcast series “Is Late Night Dead?” while sharing a Cinema Blend/“The Late Shift” anecdote about Letterman, Leno, and monologue strategy. He recaps “Scrubs” reboot season-two cast/story changes and notes Janeane Garofalo joining Apple TV+ comedy “Protective Custody,” the Dead Comedian Contest details, and a Vulture feature on Anya Magliano. 00:14 Ford Ad With Bargatze01:07 Bargatze On Fox News02:29 Tom Segura Tour Dates03:32 Weekend Feed Preview04:04 Matt Rife Fox Clip04:52 Scrubs Return And Cast08:17 Scrubs Season Two Spoilers10:12 Letterman Leno Rivalry12:47 Comedy Casting And Events14:03 Vulture Comics To Know15:25 Closing Thoughts And SignoffBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support.Today's DCN is brought to you by MyBookie use promo code DCN!Daily Comedy News is hosted by Johnny Mac and releases every weekday.
