In a sign that he was making headway in his stand-up career, Knight eventually opened up for Chappelle while out on tour, and he would share the stage with other more high-profile comedians like Joel McHale , Eric Andre, Moshe Kasher and Aziz Ansari.

Isaac's English accent provides the series with lots of comic highlights, but the show's Egyptian mythology and heritage gives it a weightier foundation. Director and executive producer Mohamed Diab made the powerful films Cairo 678 and Eshtebak (Clash) in in his home country of Egypt, and even though Moon Knight is a fantasy adventure he sees it as an intimate story.

'I don't know what to say about Jak Knight that he wouldn't make fun of me for,' wrote writer and actor Dani Fernandez. 'But you were so incredibly loved and respected. There will never be anyone quite like you.'

Comedian James Adomian heaped praise on his colleague: 'Whenever I was on a lineup with Jak Knight, I knew it was going to be a wildly funny night,' he began, adding, 'Always loved watching him over the last decade. He was winning big, all of it well deserved, so witty and memorable every moment onstage and off. A painful loss to comedy.'

The authorities have placed more than 13,000 people under quarantine orders as the city battles to contain its biggest outbreak since the pandemic began. Macau has recorded more than 900 coronavirus infections since mid-June, prior to that it had largely been COVID-free since an outbreak in October 2021.
While the government has stopped short of imposing a full scale lockdown in the former Portuguese colony, seen in Chinese cities such as Shanghai, most facilities are shut and restaurants can only provide takeaway.

On Thursday, the Federal Reserve took a major step forward towards taking CBDCs seriously in the US, releasing a long-awaited report that examines the potential benefits and risks of CBDCs. This so-called digital dollar would incorporate elements of decentralized cryptocurrencies, like bitcoin, but with a major difference: It's issued and regulated by the country's financial authority.

Risk-off sentiment, further stoked by Macao's first casino shutdown in over two years to curb the spread of COVID-19, also sent the Nasdaq into negative territory, with market leading tech- and tech-adjacent megacap stocks weighing heaviest.

But as cryptocurrencies gain in popularity, grabbing an increasing share of the global financial pie, governments have taken notice, and now many of them are exploring how to get a piece of the action. One possibility is what's known as a CBDC, or a central bank digital currency.

The hapless English-accented Steven provides the humor, but the action kicks off when tough guy Marc Spector takes over the character's body. The brooding Spector is more what you'd expect from a violent superhero. In fact, Isaac said he "leaned into the stereotype of the tortured, dark vigilante guy ... [except] with this little Englishman living inside."

HONG KONG, July 6 (Reuters) - Macau has locked down one of the city's most famous hotels, the Grand Lisboa, after more than a dozen COVID-19 cases were found there on Tuesday, with infections spreading rapidly in the world's biggest gambling hub.

Isaac describes the show as "a real opportunity to do something completely different, particularly in the MCU, to use Egyptian iconography and the superhero genre language to really focus on this internal struggle."

Later in the week a raft of economic data - including consumer prices, retail sales and factory output - should provide a glimpse of the extent to which inflation has peaked and the economy has cooled down as the Federal Reserve moves closer to next week's policy meeting, which is expected to culminate in the second straight 75 basis point interest rate hike.

Only Macau's casinos have been allowed to stay open in a move to ensure job security. The government relies on the industry for more than 80% of its tax revenue with most of the population employed directly or indirectly by the casino resorts.

"There´s nervousness about earnings season and the CPI report, but I think the market has a sense as to what CPI is going to bring this week," said Robert Pavlik, senior portfolio manager at Dakota Wealth in Fairfield, Connecticut.

The market currently expects that the central bank will raise the Fed funds futures rate by 75 basis points in its latest salvo against red-hot inflation, a tactic which some fear could tip an already cooling economy into recession.

Crushed by the passing of Jak Knight,' Max Silvestri shared. 'Watch Bust Down NOW. I was lucky enough to spend years writing with and for Jak, and we taped our Netflix sets the same night. Such a f***ing funny, surprising, kind, weird, singular talent. My heart goes out to his family and loved ones.
