Conan O'Brien Harvard Lawsuit, CBS’ Byron Allen Time-Buy, and Patton Oswalt on AI

Johnny Mac covers Daily Comedy News, leading with a long Conan O’Brien clip joking that he’s “suing Harvard” over various student grievances while riffing on the administration’s claims about foreign students. He explains CBS’ late-night deal with Byron Allen: Allen pays $15 million a year to lease the 11:30 slot and sell ads himself, meaning CBS profits even if ratings are low; the first night drew 878,000 viewers, and CBS cites a shift from losing about $40 million annually to $15 million profit. Patton Oswalt tells Vice his new special Tea and Scotch argues AI can’t replicate lived perspective and chose a small Madison venue; it premieres on YouTube June 9. Tom Segura partners with Fox Creator Studios on multiple projects. Nate Bargatze discusses clean comedy, Rob Schneider tweets about Adam Carolla’s Walk of Fame amid Jimmy Kimmel remarks, and new releases from Greg Proops, Jamel Johnson, and comments from Nish Kumar on fellow comics and Riyadh-related “cultural washing.” 00:13 Conan Sues Harvard 03:40 CBS Byron Allen Late Night05:07 Patton Oswalt On AI05:35 Tea And Scotch Release06:29 Tom Segura Fox Deal07:13 Nate Bargatze Clean Comedy08:12 Rob Schneider Kimmel Drama09:12 New Comedy Albums Roundup09:57 Nish Kumar Calls Out Comics, especially Jimmy Carr 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.
