John Mulaney and Paul F. Tompkins have a nice long chat that almost goes 25 min. on Tompkins one-on-one talk show Speakeasy.
So, rather than offer more description and keep you from watching, enjoy two of the funniest people around in conversation here.
So, Bill Hader used to work on The Playboy Channel’s Night Calls as a P.A. to porn stars, which was not as great as it might sound. He also co-wrote a sketch with John Mulaney involving the late Casey Kasem.
Hader thankfully talked about both things while on Jimmy Kimmel Live this week all for our enjoyment. Perhaps, the Kasem bit will make Seth Meyers’ Second Chance Theater?
There’s been so much buzz about Mulaney ever since it was announced that he was doing a pilot back over at NBC last year.
Finally, we’re closer to it becoming a reality with Fox slating it for this fall and uploading this full length series trailer.
Fox Orders 10 Additional Episodes of Mulaney
Fox’s Kevin Reilly is really doubling down on ditching the pilot season model as Fox has just ordered ten more episodes of John Mulaney’s multi-cam sitcom Mulaney. This will bump the show up to a 16 episode first season, a rarity these days to the normal 6-8 episode order for new shows.
Hopefully, this move will work out in the long run, both for Mulaney and TV series, in general, getting a bit of a chance to develop.
John Mulaney’s appearance last night on Late Night with Seth Meyers covered a whole lot of ground that we found out the elements that were the catalyst for Stefon, a wonderful story about a farm not to have a wedding at, and a nice brief preview of his upcoming Fox sitcom Mulaney (at min. 28).
Not that you’d be surprised, but this is all pretty great and worth watching now.
Elliott Gould, Nasim Pedrad, and Seaton Smith Stay On Board ‘Mulaney’
John Mulaney’s “Mulaney” has taken a circuitous road to get where it is now, but, it would appear, that it has managed to stay intact while doing so. Elliot Gould, Nasim Pedrad, and Seaton Smith that were cast in the original pilot over at NBC.
Good move, Fox. Actually, great move.
Old friends and both fine comedians Pete Holmes and John Mulaney have a nice chat on The Pete Holmes Show.
For the rest of us, that translates to Mulaney revealing why you shouldn’t trust Pete with secrets (that’s actually what Pete’s monologue was about) and also roasting him on national television.
John Mulaney Comedy Lands Series Order at Fox
If this turns out to be a hit series, which, given John Mulaney’s comedic sensibilities and having Martin Short around and perhaps keeping the rest of the stellar cast on board, there might just be a book written about how Fox essentially took this show when NBC didn’t want it.
We had a feeling that Mulaney was going to be a show somewhere.
In this promo, Brody Stevens gives you a tour of what’s going to happen at Funny or Die’s mega comedy festival/tour Oddball, which does have Dave Chappelle and Flight of the Conchords, but also has Kristen Schaal, Jim Jefferies, John Mulaney, Hannibal Buress, as well as Brody Stevens as the second stage host, and much more.
Honestly, this might be one of the biggest comedy tours in recent memory so don’t miss out if you get a chance to see it (tickets are on sale now by the way).
John Mulaney’s NBC Comedy Pilot Isn’t Dead Yet As Fox Orders New Script
One of the most hotly talked about pilots this past pilot season, and probably the most shocking when it didn’t get picked up, was John Mulaney’s pilot over at NBC. Not only featuring one of the funniest people in comedy right now in John Mulaney, the pilot had a star studded cast with the likes of Elliot Gould, Martin Short, and more.
Thankfully, Fox is interested and the project still has hope, though we hope it stays live action instead of becoming part of Fox’s arsenal of animated comedies.
Details on John Mulaney NBC Pilot and Seaton Smith Joins Cast
This is good news all around as John Mulaney’s pilot got another solid cast member in Seaton Smith and, apparently, Martin Short will be playing a game show host mentor to Mulaney.
We know we haven’t seen any clips or footage of any kind, but this better get picked up.
Elliott Gould and Martin Short Cast in John Mulaney’s NBC Pilot
There’s been a lot of great casting news this pilot season, especially in regards to comedy. However, this news definitely makes it in the mix for the best casting choices for a comedy pilot thus far.
