Netflix has officially announced the title and premiere date for Mulaney’s upcoming live talk show, and in true Mulaney fashion, it comes with a side of sarcasm and self-deprecation. “Everybody’s Live With John Mulaney” will debut on March 12, airing weekly for 12 glorious, possibly chaotic weeks.
And get this—it’ll be LIVE. No delays. No edits. No chance for Netflix to nervously erase any questionable moments before they hit the airwaves. Mulaney himself confirmed this with the kind of deadpan humor that makes us all wonder if he’s serious:
“We will be live globally with no delay. We will never be relevant. We will never be your source for news. We will always be reckless. Netflix will always provide us with data that we will ignore.”
Translation: Expect nonsense, shenanigans, and absolutely no fact-checking.
The Guest List? A Beautiful Fever Dream
Mulaney also teased the lineup, saying:
“This will be the one place where you could see Arnold Schwarzenegger sitting next to Nikki Glaser sitting next to a family therapist with music by Mannequin Pussy. That’s just a brief sampling of guests. We don’t know if we can lock in Mannequin Pussy, but we are in talks with them.”
Did he just casually imply Arnold Schwarzenegger and a therapist might be debating life choices on live TV while a punk band plays in the background? Yes. Yes, he did. And frankly, we deserve to see it.
A Show with No Rules, No Plan, and Probably No Filter
Mulaney admitted there’s nothing remotely original about his concept—it’s just a guy in a suit taking live calls from viewers, a format that’s so old-school it might as well be a telegram.
“It’s Netflix’s commitment to embracing the 20th century. There is absolutely nothing new about what I’m doing, but by taking a lot of elements other people have already done and doing them out of order, it feels new and that’s what’s important.”
Translation: It’s your dad’s talk show, but Mulaney-fied. And that means weirdness, wit, and the ever-present possibility of a live TV disaster.
And Then… A Royal Roast?
Mulaney wrapped up his announcement with a chef’s kiss level of shade, saying:
“This is a really fun experiment. Not since Harry and Meghan has Netflix given more money to someone without a specific plan.”
🔥🔥🔥
Somewhere in California, Prince Harry just choked on his organic, ethically sourced oat milk latte. Meghan is already drafting a response in calligraphy.
Mulaney’s chaotic, live-streamed talk show experiment kicks off on March 12, and frankly, we’re ready for whatever beautiful trainwreck unfolds. 🚂🔥
