  • Mike and Mac - Meeting David Letterman, and is Dave up to something????
    Feb 23 2026
    Mike Chisholm from The Letterman Podcast pops in.

    The guys open by reacting to the Olympic hockey final, with Mike congratulating the U.S. teams and describing how big the game was in Canada, including early-morning watch parties on the West Coast, memories of the 2010 “golden goal,” and the emotional tribute involving Johnny Gaudreau’s jersey and children. They also discuss a Nor’easter impacting the U.S. Northeast, comparing it to past storms and noting school closures and safety restrictions.

    The main focus is Mike’s trip to Vancouver for Just For Laughs where he met David Letterman at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre stage door. Mike describes the advice to meet heroes with zero expectations, Letterman’s quick wisecracks with fans, and how he got a selfie and a signed cue card. He recounts Letterman’s comment when asked to perform a joke (“If I was any good at performing jokes, I’d still have a show”) and notes Letterman and team were late for rehearsal. Mike also unexpectedly met Paul Shaffer, who returned later for selfies and conversation, including a reference to “Mr. Humidity.”

    John floats a theory that Letterman is up to something. Going to Vancouver AND having Shaffer there doesn't make sense.

  • Joe Rogan to host 60 Minutes? Letterman at JFL Vancouver, and Political Comedy Controversies
    Feb 23 2026
    Johnny Mac delivers a Daily Comedy News briefing previewing Nate Bargatze’s game show and a new Taylor Tomlinson special, then cites a Naughty but Nice Substack report claiming CBS News leader Barry Weiss is considering booking Joe Rogan on 60 Minutes, though sources say Rogan likely wouldn’t do it and would not be motivated by money.

    Jim Jefferies recounts meeting Dave Chappelle backstage shortly before Chappelle’s onstage attack, and Jefferies discusses preferring shows with his own fans, concerns about longevity, identity tied to audience approval, and family time.

    The episode shares audio from Mike Chisholm describing David Letterman’s sold-out JFL Vancouver show featuring Trump jokes, Paul Shaffer, a rendition of O Canada, career retrospectives, and an interview segment with Zach Galifianakis that included Andy Kaufman-style moments. Other items include an upcoming SNL-related documentary titled Lorne about Lorne Michaels,
