This show is gold. It’s so amazing to hear writers/performers of this profound caliber just conversing in a way where we “mere mortals” can see the insecurities, challenges, and fears they deal with when honing their craft. It doesn’t minimize their gifts, it enhances them knowing how hard they work against these difficulties and the tenacity they must have to keep going. The art form of comedy is one of the hardest of all because like all artists, the greatest comedians are exposing profound vulnerability and have to steel themselves against the criticism that inevitably comes from all over. Being great isn’t a magic trick - is all about overcoming and never giving up. Love this show.

Mulaney struggling to explain that he was depressed/thought about death 💔 Mental health issues, which often leads to substance abuse, is nothing to be ashamed of. Thanks Dana for digging into the issues and getting serious about it for a few minutes!

David Spade and Dana Carvey are a great mix for this podcasts. Selfishly, I'd love to see them on youtube. Mulaney, as always, is always great!

Great show! I absolutely love John, he’s one of the best.❤

Another home run interview ! I love that they are so long .. honest most podcasts over about 45 min normally get boring or loose my interest but not David and Dana ! It’s great that the discourse brings up so much I did not know not just about the guests but about you both as well ! It does not hurt that SNL was always a big part of my life . Thanks again for this podcast it’s really great 💜

I still can't believe Baby J was an hour and twenty minutes but it felt like half-an-hour. Just a testament to how good John is at keeping you in a story.

You’re all innately hilarious. ❤️ Never underestimate the power of comedy. Thank you for making us all laugh!

"Like Ive always said, babies love Phil Spector" made me belly laugh :D

John Mulaney has grown so much through the past couple years that he is actually transformed. He looks like a grown up, he acts more connected, and I like him so much more now. We are blessed that he has chosen sobriety because he is funnier, more creative, and more interesting. His smartness is showing through and we are getting to see his maturity. And he is with someone who is incenting him to be his best intellectual self rather than someone with whom he directs himself to the naughty chair. I’m the future, always choose people who make you want to bring your A game and not someone that you need to hide and go be naughty..

Guys, please add a video camera. It feels weird without one. Love the show!

Dana and David, thank you for making these. I just absolutely love them and it's entirely to do with your hilarity and presence with the guests. Please don't ever stop, thank you both!

Mickey, with his hand on his revolver walking around NYC - “they’re not gonna get me” gets me EVERY time

Love Mulaney! Great podcast!

Three of my favorite people to listen to!... I just love Dana's laugh :)

Good show! 😁 Love the Casey Kasem bits, et al.

All three of these guys have brought light to an often too dark world. Thanks for everything.

Great interview! As always you guys were all terrific. ❤️❤️❤️. Thanks John for your sincere honesty…I know it wasn’t easy discussing your past.

I can't imagine Mulaney NOT being a performer. I thought he did great all times he hosted. And he and Nick Kroll just killed it in Oh Hello.

A moment of silence for any youngins listening that won’t fully appreciate the Casey Kasem bits. Hilarious.

What’s nice is that all three were hosts.

I love listening to this podcast. I'm a writer who focuses most on my poetry, but I'm trying to write more and more little freelance things for websites and marketing firms and maybe even do some corporate communications and stuff. Sounds completely unrelated, but hearing all of these people talk about their work is really inspiring, and keeps my fire burning. Another similar is the Kevin Pollak Chat Show.

Mulaney comes in at 5:11

Whether behind the scenes at SNL or on stage alone as a stand up, Mulaney is as talented and hard working as they come. I understood what he meant about not knowing whether he was going to be able to return to the stage. Relapses feel like al of a sudden someone has thrown you back in jail and threw away the key...that is what falling back into addiction is like. he was lucky to get out of it and get help again, it's definitely a progressive disease and get worse and more deadly with age. Also surprised, not surprised ...There are a lot of comments here that are pretty whack and inappropriate. These people are obviously starving for a reaction, best just to ignore. One thing that was said in comments that i do agree with is the video part. You guys and ur guests are comics that are physically funny, we wanna see that. Live or taped in studio would be the best, but i'll certainly take zoom screens over no visual....ya'll would immediately triple ur following overnight.....thanks Good stuff peace.

John Mulaney pulled me through my depression woot!!! woot!!! damn i love you John Mulaney forever

I like how John Mulaney shit them up when he was talking

Love you guys thank you for all the laughs. Keep it coming.

I searched "fly on the mulaney" to get here... This is the first time I've ever heard of the show "Best Week Ever." Ever. "When you're a drug addict, you're with the person who has tried to destroy you... all the time." - J. Mulaney

Oh my God. Its David Spade and Dana Carvey. I was saying and cleaning my house this morning LOVING THE MASCULINE VOICES Or its Saturday here may 27. I pretend I worked all week I'm 67. I saw Johns face. Now sitting here finally. A writer. Who doesn't care if you know me. Life is hard enough. Super Video. Best of luck. 😊😊😅😊😊😊comedy 101 I used to be 34. I feel 34.

Love the interview ❤. Wishing you the best, Mr. Mulaney 🌈.

Dana & Bill Hader did a skit on Casey Kasim p

I love how they begin the podcast talking about how Mulaney has the ability to extrapolate stories and the minute Dana tells the Juan Corona/Mickey Rooney yarn - Mulaney immediately starts adding depth to it, Spade chimes in at end - if Dana was smart - he would have a new piece for his act.

Kasey kasem bit was hysterical

Maybe it's time for Miss Wiig? To get those ratings through the roof. (and please make her do Bjork for five minutes straight).

Tragically lost in this podcast, how good David Spade's Casey Kassim was.

I love the juke box and walking to catch the train bits. I died laughing and i watched them over and over

I love Dana, one of my favorite snl cast members, but every time I start one of these….for the first few minutes I hear Dennis Miller. Love this podcast. Keep up the great work, Dana and David!!

Spade’s impressions are spot on! Why’d he wait till now to reveal this talent?

Im so glad you are all here we are surviving this life!

This guy and Chevy Chase were THE ONLY GUESTS that were FUNNIER than the two resident DJs. Bow down before their awesomeness boys. Okay, Bill Hader and Adam Sandler were PRETTY CLOSE. What is funny, is funny. Day or night funny is funny. And it can't help itself. Can't help being funny. Like Dana.

I bet if I went to a carrot top show id just admit defeat and spray my hair orange

I know exactly how John was feeling and its a little song by the eagles called hotel California

Why is this audio only when the other podcasts are on video? Even the separate promos for these podcasts are video.

LOVE this!

Your show is great but I’d love to see you guys on camera!

at 50:20 or so, he has a great attitude towards his current success

1:29:22 lol David, they actually DID that !

The echo on John's mic was harsh

This is a great show. I listen to one daily during work. Glad to hear all of these guys with behind the scenes stories. My one small complaint is that the guest is usually too far from their Mic giving too much ambient sound. And this week, half way through the show Dana seems to be far from his Mic as well.

The thing about the mosquitoes is the ones that make a noise do not bite, they're not part of the food chain

I never really had that much home town pride, but mulaney makes me like chicago a little more.

57:11 1:02:39

I had Covid and missed Mulaney😢

Somebody needs to address the pure hilarity that was when Schneider spoke in his gruffiest voice: “April!” in the movie ‘The Hot Chick’.

1:06:00 1:23:13 1:23:56

Funniest moment in the whole podcast is the quote from Neal Brennan. 🤭

I want to see a Master of Disguise meets Joe Dirt movie!!!

A sports style show assessment would be a funny bit

You guys are so damn funny! Love you💖

This entire episode is fascinating on dozens of levels. I'm a huge fan of all 3 of them. However, I'm intrigued by the silent agreement that John Mulaney now only gets continuous softball questions in every interview. I assume a bunch of things are "off limits" (which is kind of farcical because it's obviousness makes it worse) but, is it because he is now seen as fragile as a Faberge egg? Is a comedian suddenly untouchable because he had a baby? I'm truly curious. Mulaney didn't have to deal with "social media backlash" because he went to rehab, it's because it came off that he dumped his wife that he spent almost a decade praising. He must know on some level that is the real "issue" some of his previous fans had. Either way, great episode, guys! David Spade - you're the BEST!

SAVE UP!

I've seen tiny clips of video footage from your podcast, which begs the question: are YT viewers not good enough for the full video footage of these podcast interviews? Signed, A Lowly YT Peasant PS- Just kidding! Love these pods and all you do, Dana and Dave! Finally getting to the Mulaney pod/interview, and I'm diggin' it, dudes! BUT I also love yer faces and really would love to see these interviews as well as hear them simultaneously. I'm just sayin' ... just sayin'...

Question to John and anyone in the comments about “not trusting the person in charge (of himself, alone).” When did you first lose trust in your mom and/or dad to run the family?

51:00

re the promo writing - now I want to know who wrote Barkley’s when he was next to Nirvana

By the way. Producer receiving or buying productions is rampant. It's been done in music history. Big time I gave away tons. Dads friends showrunners just fooled by my parents continually I knew though. God bless. Mom was non stop baby making. It's phenomenal.

Chick McGee? That's really specific!

You know John, when you get older, many people lose the highest parts of their hearing. What that means is you can’t hear mosquitoes anymore. Never again will you have to chase down an elusive flying pest as you’re trying to sleep!

Dana is a marin/sf mfer through and through. Iykyk. Jah bless.

Listening to Mulaney makes me think: "This is what I sounded like when my kids were babies…just not as funny."

This would be tolerable if there was a video component, but I'm too spoiled at this point to sit through 2 hours of audio from 3 guys who can clearly afford a fucking camera and an editor

5:10. 18:03. 43:47. 47:13. 58:43

There's a horse, in the hospital.

Why did Dana step back from the mic for a while??

Jimmie dean has all you need my friend

Does Jon Lovitz get a royalty everytime Mulaney talks?

1:10:08

😅 at 50:00. Now I'm doing Dave. Impromptu after a break "So John ..is it John??" I remember meeting John in Tampa Florida he was 11. My dad vinnycatalano 🎵. Dad was appointed talent seeker. Ha! Rip Dad my Dad. Really riding my coattails. Don't worry I'm the inside legend. I'd write the book or three books ... Write since I'm 4or seven for sure. Record labels love free content dad took first sales. NYC. Greatest bands I sang wrote where dad noted my productions and onto the 70's. 80's 90's. I made up creators giving other somewhat know writers cred. I couldn't stand Dad ...Sleeping around as my parents did was nuts. A book yes. Changing names. It's depressing.

😂

This episode is like a breath of fresh cocaine.

Don Nuts.

I have a question: Without having been on SNL, how does one build a subscriber following for a KZfaq channel? That being asked, could I get a five minute interview with either of you for my channel? I would love to hear your views on the current state of affairs. .. you said ask you anything. Namaste Zachariah Lone Star Liberal

omgosh David thats a killer from Lorne

TOW-sled hair??? wtf is that?

77 50

FACT: David Spade does not like John Mulaney.

I'm with Eddie Murphy, not a fan of Mr. Spade

Dana Carvey - impressions = 0

Mulaney is the least funny comedian ever.

ugh Dana Carvey was funny 20 years ago now all he does is ask the dumbest BS questions and steps on Spade and guests funny moments.

Easily the unfunniest man alive.

Ummm. John. It can last forever. For a handful anyway. Dave Chappelle. Chris Rock. You now. @taylortomalson has joined the ranks.. Kinda sounds like you may be unaware lol. Thought maybe someone should prewarn you. 🤷‍♀️😏
