Johnny Mac covers backlash over Nate Bargatze attending a UFC event after photos surfaced with RFK Jr., Cheryl Hines, Bettina Trump, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Mike Johnson, and Joe Rogan, while noting Bargatze’s Esquire comments about avoiding voting opinions and sharing Rogan’s take that the fight isn’t partisan. He pivots to Will Ferrell joking about his burdens as an LA World Cup ambassador, late-night World Cup jokes, and Nielsen ratings showing Jimmy Fallon boosted by Knicks-related episodes but still trailing Jimmy Kimmel. Kevin Hart says Spike Lee deserves a Knicks championship ring; Ben Stiller will direct an A24/HBO Knicks documentary, prompting “why not Spike Lee?” HartBeat announces 12 Hulu LOL Live half-hour specials, Nick Swardson shares an appendix update, and the “comedy stock market” recommends buying Ryan Hamilton and selling Bargatze and Nikki Glaser. Additional items include Variety’s 10 Comics to Watch at NY Comedy Festival, Guillermo joining Dancing With the Stars, and an animated Survivor movie executive produced by Jeff Probst.
