Stavros Halkias: Comedy Snob PLUS Bill Burr on Bombing, Parenting, and Theater; Taylor Tomlinson on Leaving After Midnight

Johnny Mac delivers daily comedy news centered on Rolling Stone comments from Bill Burr about moving past anger, recently bombing with a hard Vegas opener, parenting his daughter and son, crying during a story about connecting with his daughter, and how Broadway’s Glengarry Glen Ross made him love theater while rejecting a Cats revival; he also plugs a Bill Burr deep-dive episode and an upcoming Norm Macdonald deep dive. The episode notes Burr, Pete Davidson joking about fatherhood at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, and Taylor Tomlinson telling The Hollywood Reporter she took After Midnight out of loneliness, struggled with illness, and ultimately left after months of deliberation despite supportive staff. Other items include Stavros Halkias on comedy purism, Trevor Noah and Jimmy Carr riffing on English, Jo Koy recalling meeting Robin Williams, Zelda Williams calling a conspiracy clip AI, “Comedy Stock Market” picks for Norm Macdonald and Nathan Fielder, promotion of the Is Late Night Dead? podcast, and Vulture’s profile of Courtney O’Donnell and her goals. 00:14 Bill Burr Bombing Story01:03 Bill Burr as a Dad01:47 Burr Discovers Theater02:56 Festival and Pete Dad Talk03:11 Taylor Tomlinson Burnout05:30 Stavros Comedy Purist06:46 Trevor and Jimmy English Bits07:48 Jo Koy Meets Robin09:02 Zelda Williams AI Warning09:33 Comedy Stock Market Picks10:54 Podcast and Courtney ODonnell Become 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.
