Jim Norton Defends Dave Chappelle; Bill Burr Slams Modern Media & AI; Amy Poehler’s ‘Dig’

Johnny Mac recaps comedy news: Jim Norton tells Fox News that Dave Chappelle is doing what comics should—being funny and sharing real thoughts—and critics can skip him or do better. Bill Burr argues mainstream journalism has been hollowed out into divisive 24-hour talking heads and says AI is being built to replace workers, not executives. Amy Poehler promotes Peacock’s 10-episode comedy-adventure Dig (with Mike Schur), set on an archeological site in Greece where four women uncover an artifact tied to an international conspiracy; Hugh Laurie co-stars. Taylor Tomlinson discusses a tough year of illness, doctor visits, therapy, fear shaped by her mother’s cancer history, and mixed feelings about taking and leaving the 12:30 show. Jo Koy reflects on career “bonus features” and touring motivation; Josh Johnson praises Nashville; Russell Peters lists a Malibu mansion; and Toronto comedian Andrew Barr discusses influences, nudist gigs, and a treadmill endurance special supporting rehab. 00:13 Jim Norton on Chappelle01:03 Bill Burr on Media01:56 Burr Takes on AI02:16 Amy Poehler New Series04:22 Taylor Tomlinson Health05:20 Tomlinson on Late Night06:16 Jo Koy Career Reflections08:20 Josh Johnson Loves Nashville10:33 Host Plugs New Podcast10:59 Russell Peters Malibu Listing11:42 Goblin Horror Comedy12:10 Andrew Barr Toronto Q&A12:49 Rehab Jokes and Special14:15 Wrap Up and Sign OffBecome 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.
