Fallon’s Own Comedian Is Back

Fallon’s Own Comedian Is Back
Hometown favorite comedian and juggler Sam Malcolm returns to the Fallon Cantaloupe Festival August 23rd - 25th 2019. Originally from the Stillwater Paiute-Shoshone Reservation, Malcolm is taking time out of his Nationwide Summer Tour to perform on his home turf. He has new material and old favorites planned for his internationally acclaimed show at the 34th Annual Cantaloupe Fest. Malcolm has been busy since his appearance at the Festival last year, earning the title of Funniest Comedy Act from the Michigan Busker Festival as well as recording his debut comedy album (release date TBD.) Passion for community keeps Malcolm coming back to Fallon year after year, as he discussed in a recent podcast interview,“The reason I like comedy is because I can think of all the times when I was a kid that laughing about something hard was the best way to deal with it… I got really lucky because I had interest in something, because I met somebody who was like ‘oh this is a cool thing, right?’ And I want to be that for the kids out there.” When he isn’t performing, Malcolm spends his time working with various non-profits as well as spending time with his family. The festival is held at the Churchill County Fairgrounds August 23rd - 25th 2019. Tickets are $8 for a one-day pass or $15 for a weekend pass.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
