Jim Gaffigan, Dave Chappelle and the Top 11 Most Influential Comedians of 2023
Before we start, let's address a couple of things. This list is subjective, and there are many exceptional comedians who didn't make the cut. Additionally, we're aware that this list features 11 men, and we understand the need for better representation in the comedy industry. With that said, let's delve into the top 11 most influential comedians of 2023.11. Pete Davidson:Known for being in the headlines, Pete Davidson's presence in the news is undeniable. Although he may not consider himself the best stand-up comedian, his constant media attention and intriguing personal life have made him a hot topic for comedy enthusiasts worldwide.10. Matt Rife:Matt Rife had a rollercoaster year with his problematic world tour and subsequent fallout after the release of his special, "Met Rife Natural Selection." Despite the controversies, his sold-out shows and undeniable fanbase solidify his position on this list.9. Burt Kreischer:Many of you may remember Burt Kreischer from his legendary bit "The Machine." This year, he turned that bit into a movie and continued to entertain his fans with his popular podcast, "Two Bears, One Cave."8. Nate Bergatzei:Nate Bergatze was named Comedian of the Year by Consequence of Sound, and for good reason. His fantastic special, "Hello World," killer appearance on SNL and his record-breaking ticket sales at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville catapulted him into the spotlight.7. Theo Von:Theo Von's rise on the podcast charts has been remarkable. From being number one in the stand-up sub-genre to appearing on the mainstream charts, Von's storytelling abilities and charismatic personality make him one to watch in 2024.6. Joe Rogan:Joe Rogan's influence extends beyond comedy. As the host of "The Joe Rogan Experience," his podcast has the power to catapult comedians into stardom. His club in Austin, the Comedy Mothership, has become a hotspot for both up-and-coming and established comedians.5. Chris Rock:Despite his infamous onstage incident, Chris Rock's name continues to dominate comedy conversations. His live special, "Chris Rock's Selective Outrage," showcased his ability to address controversial topics head-on, sparking both support and criticism.4. Kevin Hart:Kevin Hart's success knows no bounds. From being the top touring comedian of the year to his numerous endorsements and projects, including a documentary about his life, Hart's entrepreneurial spirit and comedic talent show why he remains a force to be reckoned with.3. John Mulaney:John Mulaney's return to the stage after personal turmoil garnered him favor among critics and audiences alike. His unique perspective and undeniable talent led to a successful comeback, evident in his favorable Rotten Tomatoes rating of 86 percent.2. Dave Chappelle:Every move Dave Chappelle makes is news. Whether it's his highly anticipated Netflix specials or thought-provoking interviews, Chappelle's impact on the comedy industry cannot be understated. His influence continues to shape the comedy landscape.1. Jim Gaffigan:Jim Gaffigan's mastery of stand-up comedy has elevated him to the top of the industry.

Ricky Gervais: Armageddon out today PLUS The Office Christmas specials turn 20!
Ricky Gervais' new special Armageddon is out today and we have a clip.We discuss the controversy surrounding Ricky Gervais' new show. One social media user condemns a joke about terminally ill children and others describe the comedy as vile and offensive. Despite the backlash, Ricky stands his ground, firmly stating that people often take offense without fully understanding the intentions behind a joke. He even applauds those calling for Netflix to edit the special, sarcastically wishing them good luck.Taking a trip down memory lane, we reflect on the legacy of Ricky Gervais' "The Office." Celebrating its 20th anniversary, this iconic British sitcom, embraced the charm of Christmas specials. We explore the influence that Christmas TV had on Ricky Gervais and his co-writer Steven Merchant, and how it shaped their view on creating their own holiday specials.The Office Christmas Specials, which originally aired on December 26th and 27th, 2003, allows us to catch up with the beloved characters a year after the initial series. David Brent, the epitome of hilarious yet cringe-worthy comedy, navigates his way through fame and the harsh realities that come with it. Ricky Gervais wanted viewers to feel the discomfort of David Brent's journey, exploring both his comedic and vulnerable sides.Shifting gears, we explore the Twelve Pubs of ChristmasTo round things off, we dive into Harper's Bazaar's list of the 50 Christmas movies that'll lighten your spirits this holiday season. From classics like "The Santa Clause" and "Home Alone 2" to unexpected choices like "Trading Places," we explore the diverse range of films that capture the essence of Christmas.And speaking of Christmas movies, our host Johnny Mac couldn't help but wonder why there's no Adam Sandler movie on the list. He playfully asks ChatGPT to generate a plot for an imaginary Adam Sandler Christmas flick called "The Christmas Chaos Crusaders."If you're a regular listener of the podcast, there's a really easy way to show your support and help us grow.
