John Mulaney Presents: Everybody's in LA - Show format explored
Led by comedic genius John Mulaney, with Richard Kind serving as the announcer, the show will explore a week in Los Angeles, showcasing the comedian's encounters with a multitude of hilarious individuals.
“We’re only doing six episodes, so this show will never hit its groove,” Mulaney warned during the opening monologue, delivered from his temporary home base at Sunset Gower Studios.
Netflix issued a hilarious warning,
"And when we say “live,” we mean we genuinely don’t know what will come out of Mulaney’s or anyone else’s mouth."
Due to its unique and unconventional format, it’s difficult to describe exactly what the future episodes of this live show will look like.
In the first episode of John Mulaney Presents: Everybody's in LA, Mulaney talks to guest comedian Jerry Seinfeld about his latest directorial venture, Unfrosted. Will Ferrell and Stavros Halkias also made appearances. A special interview section featured a fisherman from Echo Park and a billboard worker.
Other guests included wildlife advocate Tony Tucci and musician Ray J. The musical guest, St. Vincent, performed Flea, a track from the 2024 album All Born Screaming. The rest of the episodes may follow a similar format.
Final Thoughts
The studio setup for John Mulaney Presents: Everybody's in LA is a 70s-inspired nod to the likes of Johnny Carson and Dick Cavett, with its wood paneling, warm earth tones, and ample houseplants.
The unapologetically quirky and wacky talk show is a love letter to Los Angeles, the city known for nurturing and hosting stars. With Mulaney's genius and the talent behind the camera, the show is a great addition to Netflix's A Joke Festival.
The laughter echoed at The Hollywood Bowl on May 3, and the remaining episodes will stream live on Netflix from May 6 through May 10. Stream the opening episode now, and mark your calendars for the rest.
