Everybody's Live with John Mulaney

As John said, "Jazz talk show." Very loose and freewheeling. I'm loving it. Loved the earlier six show run last year.

If it was nightly, wouldn't be as alluring, but one night a week. Sure. Tune in and hang for the ride.

People like me who find the endless array of celeb interviews very formulaic and ho hum-ish, may very well like this talk show with a twist. Kinda quirky but not as juvenile as Reggie Watts' brand of quirk or Fallon's wagging puppy dog drivel. Keep on mixing it up, Mulling Man.

I'm sure you'll find you line and length, as they say in cricket and your demographic will find yew.

I am a big fan of John Mulaney and couldn't wait to watch the first episode last night.

Once the show started, my excitement never went up. I hope they got honest reviews from their test audience because this show wasn't funny nor was it entertaining.

Even with quality guests, Michael Keaton, Joan Baez, Fred Armisen the show never picked up the pace.

The monologue bombed, the phone segment was terrible, and even Michael Keaton, Fred Armisen and cameo guest Tracy Morgan couldn't generate even a single laugh. I was bored after the phone call segment and lost interest after that. I don't know who was responsible for writing or producing his but they need to be replaced. It is a boring concept and needs to be different than the other talk shows as John Mulaney's brand of humor doesn't seem to fit with the format, clearly doesn't relate to the guests, or even resonate with the viewers.

If I was a producer I wouldn't have added my name to the credits because I would be embarrassed if I had anything to do with the show. If they don't revamp this show it won't make it past one season, even on Netflix. They did green light Meghan Markle's show so there is a chance it may be renewed, but if it bombs like this again it will be cancelled for sure.

I'll still give it another chance but if they have another episode as bad as the first one, I won't watch it again.

I absolutely love the vibe of this show, and the previous 'Everybody's In L. A'. It doesn't seem like they missed a step, being off for so long while coming back with a great set of guests to speak on the subject of lending / borrowing money. Mulaney shows that he has a very quick comedic mind in the way he handles the callers to the show. I think my favorite thing about this show continues to be the chemistry between John Mulaney and Richard Kind who is absolutely hilarious on this show. I've never been able to figure out how much of his personality is real but it doesn't matter because he's so oddly charismatic.

I hope this show has many more seasons because I really can't get enough.

Wild and experimental, brings me back to the early days of Ben Stiller on MTV or The Tom Green show. While it's not perfect, it's playful and experimental and walks a fine line between being stupid (Tim n Eric Anti-Humor style) and bringing seriousness.

It's a very specific type of show or vibe but I absolutely love it and it's actually relaxing to watch.

There's this Japanese show on Netflix about people visiting a tiny ramen restaurant at night, I don't recall the exact name and it's kind of vintage. But this show and John Mulaney his vibe are very similar, it's soothing, it's smart, it's dumb, it's playful, it's pretty (cinematography of the in between scenes is crazy good) and the soundtrack is just perfect.

More of this Netflix, more!

This show is truly unique. Mulaney is able to create an interpersonal dynamic with 5 people that can go any direction. It's organized chaos. The random pre-planned bits sprinkled throughout along with the prerecorded spots give the show a Monty python feel. I've also enjoyed the roster of musical guests. To match the eclectic vibe of the show, the musical acts come from different eras and genres and the performances are solid and well choreographed. Another cool element is the inclusion of callers as the show is broadcast live on Netflix. These calls are an absolute wild card, with people in various states of sobriety voicing their experiences relative to the show's subject for the episode. As a fan of exploratory musical acts like Phish, this show hits home for me.
