Just finished watching the latest episode of Everybody’s in L.A. on Netflix and… whew. As someone who’s been a huge Mulaney fan for years (from New in Town to Kid Gorgeous to The Comeback Kid—all comedy gold), I was genuinely excited for this. But man, what a letdown.

It’s being sold as this “live” late-night variety-show experiment, but the whole thing feels oddly lifeless and flat. The setup doesn’t really serve him—it’s disjointed, the bits don’t land, and the pacing is all over the place. There’s this forced “meta” awkwardness that’s trying to be quirky but ends up just feeling off.

Even Mulaney himself feels… off. Like a watered down version of his old self. The signature timing, the confident strut, the razor-sharp delivery, it’s just not there. And I say this as someone who wants him to do well. But this felt more like watching someone try to channel the ghost of their former on-stage persona than a return to form.

Maybe I’m missing something or maybe this format just isn’t it.

Curious if anyone else watched it and felt the same?

It's almost like he's missing something, something that gave him some kind of crazy comic energy...
