Will John Mulaney do more Late Night?

WEBVTT

1
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:12.359
Kalaroga Shark Media. Wow, what
famous comedian hasn't been funny since two thousand

2
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:14.960
and six? Are we gonna go
there? John? Yeah, I think

3
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.320
we are. But first we'll start
with John mullaney, who has even been

4
00:00:18.320 --> 00:00:21.359
funny in twenty twenty four. So
it's not John Mullaney. I'll tell you

5
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:25.839
who it wasn't about three or four
stories from now h m'laney talking about his

6
00:00:26.079 --> 00:00:30.640
late night show. Deadline has more
information and m'laney said, what's great about

7
00:00:30.640 --> 00:00:33.560
the Netflix Festival is everybody's in town
at the same time. We get to

8
00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.320
see each other and we go to
each other's shows. There's that brunch where

9
00:00:36.320 --> 00:00:39.399
we all eat salty waffles that doesn't
happen a lot. We're not in the

10
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:42.079
same place at the same time.
I thought, what's cool is the place

11
00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:44.600
that we're in is the weirdest,
most interesting city in the world, just

12
00:00:44.640 --> 00:00:47.840
the strangest place I've ever been.
I've always wanted to do something about La

13
00:00:48.159 --> 00:00:50.759
Would he do it again? He
joked with Nick Kroll about doing it and

14
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:54.520
maybe Montreal around the just for last
festival, but that event went bankrupt.

15
00:00:54.920 --> 00:01:00.399
He said his inspirations included Glenn O'Brien's
New York Public Access series TV, which

16
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:03.679
ran between seventy eight and eighty two. I grew up in New York City.

17
00:01:03.719 --> 00:01:04.319
Now, if you grew up in
New York City, you only had

18
00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.200
cable if you lived in Manhattan.
I lived in Queen's. We didn't get

19
00:01:07.239 --> 00:01:11.680
cable until listen to this nineteen eighty
seven. So I'm not familiar with Glen

20
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:17.799
O'Brien's public access series. And well, John Mulaney, John Mlaney's not old

21
00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:23.239
enough for that. John Mullaney's forty
one Lazy Matt twenty four minus forties eighty

22
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.519
four. When did you see this
thing? John? I'm very curious about

23
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:30.760
that. I've never even heard of
Glen O'Brien's New York public access series TV.

24
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:34.200
Party doesn't mean it's not good.
Maybe it's on YouTube. Maybe I'll

25
00:01:34.239 --> 00:01:38.719
check it out. Move along,
Okay. Other inspirations Larry King Live and

26
00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:42.120
Oh that one, early MTV and
the McLaughlin group. Remember that, the

27
00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:46.079
syndicated public affairs show that discussed politics
in a roundtable format, and SNL made

28
00:01:46.079 --> 00:01:49.439
a lot of fun of it.
Some guests who passed included David Lynch,

29
00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:53.519
Werner Herzog, and David Lee Roth. M'lleanie says, David Lynch passed.

30
00:01:53.519 --> 00:01:56.760
He said, I don't understand what
this is. I'm working on a new

31
00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:57.760
art and I have to keep my
eye on the donut. Which was the

32
00:01:57.799 --> 00:02:01.640
best pass. Everyone did pass in
a nice way. Werner Herzog passed.

33
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:05.560
He said, I have to keep
away from the comedians. M'laney told Jimmy

34
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.400
Kimmel David Lee Roth was one of
so many people who turned down an appearance.

35
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:12.240
Melaney said, he passed, which
is okay. I respect the man.

36
00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:15.719
He's a solid guy. I originally
asked him to be the band leader,

37
00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.759
but then I was like, oh, or just a guest. M'laney

38
00:02:17.759 --> 00:02:22.319
said he really wanted to talk about
life in Altadena. I hope I pronounced

39
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:24.759
that correctly locals a part of La
County that's located just north of Pasadena where

40
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:29.439
Roth once resided. But David Lee
Roth said no to that too. I

41
00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:30.479
honestly like, I don't know how
to appeal to him because I'm like,

42
00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:34.360
it's David Lee Roth. I just
call him up and say let's party,

43
00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:38.800
and he might show up. Kimill
reminded Melaney that davidly Roth is an EMT.

44
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:40.599
Remember when David Lee Roth was in
New York City. EMT, maybe

45
00:02:40.719 --> 00:02:44.280
just call and say I'm bleeding and
he'll come over. That's really funny.

46
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:46.800
M'laney then said, can you imagine
being in a medical crisis and you're strapped

47
00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:49.879
down on the board and your head's
in that brace and you look up and

48
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.759
it's David Lee Roth, Like that
must be insane. Melaney said he was

49
00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:58.159
the most self conscious by the appearance
of David Letterman. I worried that he'd

50
00:02:58.199 --> 00:02:59.919
be like, oh, you think
you know how to run a weird T

51
00:03:00.080 --> 00:03:02.120
show. I certainly wasn't. But
then again, I don't think he or

52
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:05.479
I were trying to run a weird
show. We're trying to do a good

53
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:07.759
show. And those were the ideas
we had, and yeah, they're weird.

54
00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.879
I did actually have the thought a
few times it might be too mainstream.

55
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:13.400
People will think I sold out.
No, not at all. John.

56
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:16.520
On Saturday, I have an interview
with Jason Zinman from The New York

57
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:21.439
Times. We talk about mulaney and
Letterman. I got really good response to

58
00:03:21.560 --> 00:03:24.639
last Saturday's interview with Mark Malkoff from
the Inside Late Night podcast on The Carson

59
00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:28.560
Podcast, if you didn't listen to
last Saturday, please go back and check

60
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:32.520
it out. It was fantastic.
This Saturday also fantastic. Might John Stewart

61
00:03:32.520 --> 00:03:37.360
be sticking around a little bit,
that's the current speculation. His podcast debuted

62
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.360
at number one. It's not that
good though, John. I actually got

63
00:03:40.360 --> 00:03:45.319
a text from an industry peer going
to listen to this thing yet, and

64
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:49.479
the industry peer and my notes over
the same, so we'll see there.

65
00:03:49.520 --> 00:03:52.479
Back in April, Stuart told the
Daily Show audience, I have to say

66
00:03:52.479 --> 00:03:54.080
it's been lovely. Once a week
is about right for me with people and

67
00:03:54.120 --> 00:03:58.120
people with me. At an event
on Friday night, Stuart said, the

68
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:00.639
one thing I will say is I
walked away nine years ago because I was

69
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.080
burnt out, and I don't feel
that right now. I feel reinvigorated.

70
00:04:03.479 --> 00:04:06.639
Latenighter, dot Com, Reorport Jimmy
Kimmel will take the summer off again.

71
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:11.520
He'll have guest hosts. Bill Maher
on his podcast was chatting with Ray Romano,

72
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:15.199
and it's told Ray that Bill's not
gonna play colleges anymore. Mars said

73
00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.199
they don't want to hear anything they
don't already agree with. They don't want

74
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.680
their minds, pride open, and
you know what, let somebody else do

75
00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:23.439
it. Ray said, you'd have
to be half this way and half that

76
00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:27.279
way, maybe meaning both sides of
the political spectrum. Mars said, first

77
00:04:27.279 --> 00:04:30.240
of all, that protests before he
even got on the campus. I was

78
00:04:30.319 --> 00:04:32.399
uninvited when I was invited to be
the keynote speaker at the Berkeley graduation,

79
00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:36.920
then reinvited with today. Are you
kidding these kids? That'd be the first

80
00:04:36.920 --> 00:04:40.399
thing they would do. They don't
want to hear anything they don't already agree

81
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:43.600
with. I'm not gonna hold my
tongue when they embrace stupid ideas, and

82
00:04:43.639 --> 00:04:46.680
of course they'll just say the trightest, easiest, most erroneous thing lobbed at

83
00:04:46.680 --> 00:04:48.759
people like us. You're old now, it's about just get off my long.

84
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.439
You put zero amount of thinking to
the actual point of making. You

85
00:04:51.439 --> 00:04:55.839
don't engage with the actual idea.
Should we bring communism back? Because I

86
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:58.560
think it's a bad idea? Maybe
because I remember what happened the first time

87
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:01.600
and you don't. You don't care
to learn. Wow, Will Ferrell remember

88
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:05.600
how I open up the podcast?
Will Ferrell wants to be people's sexiest man

89
00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:11.519
alive. Will tell people he's planning
the seeds stand up on the cover because

90
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:15.399
you guys never have comedians, so
it's going internally all right, sexiest man.

91
00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:19.040
So that got me wondering Will Ferrell. Hmm, when's the last time

92
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:23.480
Will Farrell was funny? Was it
a the roast of Tom Brady? Nope,

93
00:05:23.480 --> 00:05:27.439
but definitely wasn't then, so I
went to IMDb dot com. Now

94
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.959
I know right now, you're like, John, you're being a donkey hole.

95
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:34.199
All right, let's just go through
the IMDb. You ready, well

96
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:36.720
up a chair. I got a
lot to read here. You let me

97
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:41.680
know when we get to something.
Okay. Most recent appearance John Malini's Everybody's

98
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:46.399
in La Not Funny TV series In
the Know. He played Gene Quiz,

99
00:05:46.480 --> 00:05:51.560
Lady Streees, Barbie Spirited, Have
your ELFA Merry Christmas, The Shrink next

100
00:05:51.600 --> 00:05:56.360
Door, Eurovision Song Contest, The
Story of Fire Saga you want to go

101
00:05:56.399 --> 00:05:59.399
with that? In Practical Joke,
Ris, the movie Downhill Between Two Ferns,

102
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:03.040
The Movies Ville, The Lego Movie
Two, Drunk History, Holmes and

Watson, I Love You America.
The twenty eighteen Rose Parried No Activity,

104
00:06:09.120 --> 00:06:12.560
where he played Adrian back in twenty
seventeen, You want to give it to

105
00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:15.639
Daddy's Home two. In twenty seventeen, his appearance on the Jim Gaffigan show

Zoolander two, Daddy's Home, The
Last Man on Earth, The Spoils before

107
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:24.680
dying a deadly adoption Get hard?
Are you mad at me yet for reading

108
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:27.360
this list? Because I'm gonna keep
going till I get to one. Welcome

109
00:06:27.399 --> 00:06:30.279
to Sweden, The Spoils of Babylon, The Lego Movie twenty fourteen. He's

110
00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:33.560
great in that, he's not funny. It's a great movie. He's great

111
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:38.199
in it, fantastic job, but
he's not funny in it. Twenty thirteen

112
00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:41.920
Anchorman two, The Legend continues.
I might give you that one. I'll

113
00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.000
give you that one. You know
what. I take back my two thousand

114
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:47.759
and six twenty thirteen Anchorman two,
The Legend Continues. He played Ron Burgundy,

115
00:06:48.079 --> 00:06:51.399
so I've changed my mind. I
was wrong twenty thirteen of two thousand

116
00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:55.120
and six. Now other things.
He was really good in the office as

117
00:06:55.199 --> 00:06:58.720
D'Angelo Vickers, where he played it
straight. I thought he was great in

118
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:00.279
the office, and I was sad
when they they didn't kill him off,

119
00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:02.240
but they knocked him off, but
he was great in that he would have

120
00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:05.959
been good playing that role, not
for laughs. In two thousand and nine,

121
00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:09.839
he's in something called The Goods Live
Hard, Cell Hard. He plays

122
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:15.240
McDermott, interesting used car liquidator Don
Reddy is hired by a falling auto dealership

123
00:07:15.240 --> 00:07:18.399
to turn their Fourth of July sale
into a majorly profitable event. It stars

124
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:23.920
Jeremy Piven, Ving Rains and David
Keckner, and of course Will Ferrell as

125
00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:27.879
McDermott. That's not what I was
going for either. Two thousand and six

126
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:30.639
Talladega Knights, that one was going
to give him. All right, now,

127
00:07:30.639 --> 00:07:32.199
you've made an error to me of
Will Ferrell. But he was ice

128
00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:34.720
called to me when I met him
fifteen years ago, invited him on Jim

129
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:38.560
Brewers Show, which I think was
more about his feud with Jim than me.

130
00:07:39.040 --> 00:07:43.879
But hey, met you once,
didn't enjoy it. Hannah Einbinder's special

131
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.959
is out today. Among the topics
spoilers her time as a cheerleader at Beverly

132
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:51.120
Hills High School. She says,
I was very dedicated to perfection. I

133
00:07:51.120 --> 00:07:55.480
think my work ethic can be very
obviously to me, at least be attributed

134
00:07:55.480 --> 00:07:59.800
to my time as a cheerleader.
She also dealt with ADHD and said,

135
00:08:00.600 --> 00:08:03.240
I was really rambunctious, and I
really think Jim Carrey's physical style spoke to

136
00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:05.920
me, and I kind of started
to mimic him. In college, she

137
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.560
got the opportunity to open for Nicole
Byer. Then she realized how important comedy

138
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:13.160
would be to her life. That's
what became very clear to me. I

139
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.240
didn't really view it as this is
my career. I just maybe naively viewed

140
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:18.680
it as I'm obsessed with this and
I'm going to pursue this and I can't

141
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:22.040
stop doing it. Mo Welch's special
is also out today. Now, the

142
00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:26.959
initial release had it coming out on
eight hundred Pound Guerrilla tomorrow, but the

143
00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:31.240
eight hundred Pound Gerilla website itself says
it's out today. I assume they would

144
00:08:31.240 --> 00:08:33.480
know when their own special is out, so let's guess it's today. Filmed

145
00:08:33.480 --> 00:08:37.440
at the Lawnd Room in Highland Park
in all Over, Illinois, mo Welch's

146
00:08:37.480 --> 00:08:41.720
debut special follows her as she explains
her lifelong obsession with dad jokes as a

147
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:46.919
way to process the aftermath of her
own father's abandonment. Kevin Hart never Afraid

148
