Okay guys…I lied. My good friend Evan was very upset that I didn’t write about his favorite comedian so I decided to write one more article about him. This is going to be a short one though so do not expect a lot of detail. The comedian I’m talking about is John Mulaney. You may or may not know him from his (rather unsuccessful) show Mulaney. It was modeled somewhat after Seinfeld, but just didn’t have the same charm about it. What you probably don’t know about John is that he wrote for Saturday Night Live. To be more specific you may know the character Stefon, played by Bill Hader. Mulaney wrote for him. He tried as hard as he could to make Hader laugh by writing last minute lines that weren’t in the dress rehearsal. Here is an example...
He also has two stand-up specials. The first was in 2009 and it was called The Top Part and the second one was in 2012; it was called New in Town. New in Town is on Netflix so definitely check it out if you have the chance. It is pretty hilarious. I have never seen all of The Top Part, but I have seen parts of it and my friend Evan tells me it is great. Even though I did not think about him before, John Mulaney is definitely a really funny guy that deserves your attention. He just is not somebody I necessarily think about because he doesn’t do a whole lot. Do yourself a favor and think about him more often than I do. You won’t regret it.
