Everybody's Live with John Mulaney

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.

John knows how to make everything wonderful. And this show is no less, with Richard Kind by his side they are thriving. Great bits and heavy on the great guests! I mean he pulled out the big guns with these guests.

What I'm gonna say may sound controversial but for show that is live around the world it is a little too "American" I mean the episode about the real ID and Uber, I didn't even know what Real ID was. I'm from the middle east and some episodes were just boring for me because I'm not American.

There's nothing wrong with that just heads up if you're not American.

I recommend though it's very funny and John wears nice suits as always.

With a hard to bridge gap left by the best of late night, John has done an exceptional job of making each episode enjoyable without fail. Richard Kind proves himself to be even more loveable than one thought possible as John's MC, bringing along with him memorable moments each and every episode. John and Richard are national treasures, world treasures even, that we must protect at all costs.

Its a pity late night television can't sustain the daily format these days, as shown by others still lingering, as Everybody's Live brings a fresh yet familiar quality with it is viewing that cannot be missed. A wide variety of guests and subjects each week, without needing to focus solely on politics for content.

A lot of the reviews that are harshly negative against this show unfairly compare it to other talk shows and complain about what it does "wrong". I am sorry, but those people just don't get it - this is not meant to be just like all the other talk shows and do everything "right". Guests aren't going to talk about their projects. Callers are going to get hung up on. The jokes are going to fall flat, sometimes intentionally and ironically. The topics are random and don't expect to really get anything useful out of them. This is performance art of the absurd. I remember watching David Letterman when his show first came on - I was a young teen at the time, and I thought it was the coolest thing I had ever seen, but most people thought it was idiotic. It developed a cult following because there was an intelligence behind the seemingly random and bizarre humor. John Mulaney's show is quite different in execution, but it reminds me of that feeling - it's chatting a fresh course, something that's really never been done before. The first time I watched it, I wasn't sure if I liked it, but I honestly couldn't stop tuning in, and it keeps growing on me. Now I can't believe there's only 2 episodes left, and I'm praying Netflix renews it!

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.
