Colin Jost Says the Pete Davidson Ferry Isn’t a Money Pit, Kimmel says Trump should be fired over joke

Johnny Mac delivers a daily comedy news briefing, led by Colin Jost on the SmartLess podcast saying reports about the Pete Davidson ferry being a money pit are wrong, claiming events have already recouped their investment; he describes potential uses as an event/entertainment venue, docking challenges, and ideas like a middle-class swim-club concept and a seasonal Miami move. Tim Heidecker tells The Hollywood Reporter about getting involved with the Infowars situation and wanting it to become a home for curated, funded comedy creativity. Robbie Hoffman discusses relationship dynamics and splurging when traveling with her wife Gabby. The episode recaps jokes about King Charles’s U.S. visit (Kimmel, plus Charles’s own line), notes Adam Carolla and Ted Cruz defending Kimmel, and shares a New York Times detail on Colbert leaning back into politics. Johnny’s “comedy stock market” issues festival buys (Atsuko Okatsuka, Dave Chappelle, Flight of the Conchords, King Charles), plus items on Jenny Zigrino’s History Tonight, Caleb Hearon, and New Zealand Comedy Festival picks. 00:26 Jost Davidson Ferry Update01:54 Tim Heidecker Takes Infowars02:45 Robbie Hoffman Relationship Bits03:17 King Charles Visit Kimmel Jokes06:02 Kimmel Backlash Defenders06:38 Colbert Politics Pivot07:31 Josh Johnson Ballroom Jokes08:00 Comedy Stock Market Picks09:42 King Charles Funny Clip10:39 History Tonight Drag King George11:59 Cultured 100 Caleb Hearon12:37 New Zealand Comedy Fest Recs Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac-a-daily-briefing-on-comedians-and-the-comedy-industry--4522158/support.Daily Comedy News is the number one comedy news podcast, delivering daily coverage of standup comedy, late night television, comedy specials, tours, and the business of comedy.COMEDY SURVIVOR in the facebook group.Contact John at John@thesharkdeck dot com For Uninterrupted Listening, use the Apple Podcast App and click the banner that says Uninterrupted Listening.  $4.99/month John's Substack about media is free.This is the animal sanctuary mentioned in the February 10 episode.
