Ben Adams you don’t stop when you get a “no”. I loved seeing this lineup of auditions! Incredible!

Seth Meyers said on Howard Stern that he auditioned the same day as Jack McBrayer and Kevin Hart

I’m 100% sure that he only mentioned known names, any unknowns he doesn’t remember

@msannie Except him? Are you kidding, trolling, an idiot...? All 3?

It's not crazy. It was the final or near final audition. There was probably dozens of actors trying for the job previously.

*was

He’s like the Miranda Priestly of the comedy world

He's a buisnessman. I guess he can be a nice person, but sometimes he's just has to be an asshole, because he's working for a bilion dollar company. Sometimes he'll cut a sketch, sometimes he'll dismiss someone's idea and sometimes he'll just tell someone that he screwed up. There's a reason why Lorne has been in charge longer than most of ths cast is alive.

I love your name 😅

hes nice to everyone there, but hes definitely a hard ass

You should check out “Oh, Hello the P’dcast” I’d you want more recent Mulaney, with some more recent Nick Kroll mixed in! It’s coming out over the next 7 weeks.

@@withalittlehelpfrom3 Mulaney and Kroll are guests on the P'dcast? I knew George and Gil were heavy hitters in the show biz but they got Kroll and Mulaney? Thats huge!

Trey I know, right?! Especially great after they promoted Mulaney and Kroll’s shows on another P’dcast 5 years ago! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q7mHktqambLNfI0.html

I know that they lost literally almost every single good cast member, but when Mulaney left, there was a very clear dip in quality.

Watch Big Mouth on Netflix. You'll get enough, and more, of John (and Nick).

His humbleness. And attitude.

Good editing.

Quintessential Mulaney. Good call.

some people just have the insight and timing - thanks for this!

Da da da dadadada it is not unusable

My advice is always leave one year before you think it's time. Sometimes that's 3 months in.

same.

Ellie Kemper and Donald Glover were cast on NBC shows the following year, which makes me think they were definitely kept in mind.

I liked Bobby so much on the show. I miss him.

jpguitar34 Jordan Peele also auditioned that year

jpguitar34 I mean he only listed the successful ones, but I agree that is a lot of great comedians in one room

@@TheKingsPride true, there probably also were some people we've never heard of that auditioned that day

I would say he’s amazing talker I want to say he isn’t an amazing actor because he’s basically playing John in a costume not someone else that’s why I’m surprised Nick Kroll didn’t get a spot on SNL

T O X I C M A N I A I loved Drag Brunch! And Phantom of LaGuardia!

Agree!

​@@sailormagic13 Well John says his self that he's a writer at heart not a performer and I think thats true. I mean stand up is a performance and he has great stage presence but he's not the best at playing a wide range of different characters (he's improved but at the time probably way too limited) Picking him for a writer made perfect sense. Nick Kroll is a good actor and he can do a million different characters, so i agree them not picking him for a cast member is odd but alot of things factor into who they pick I guess.

Reen Nick Kroll only plays douchebags watch big mouth, the unbreakable kimmy schmidt, dinner for schmucks, parks and recreation, or literally anything else hes in, its always the douchebag that no one likes

Andrew Davis that is his exact vibe

one feels like a duck splashing around in all this wet

Maybe you weren't wrong. He just went into rehab

@@ortzinator he only started using again during the panoramic

​@@avaa5327 Too old to be a duckling. Quack, quack!

Amanda Merhige 👍🏻😂

What's up with Timothée chalamet not hosting the show... I didn't get that part

@@harshitaagoyal you mean the boy?! The boy is 5’11!

@@amandamerhige827 yeah I know that 😂😂😂 but why is he saying "then it dawned upon me"...

December 12th Timothee Chalamet is hosting! Let’s all thank John Mulaney for helping this happen!

He IS the perfect SNL host. The past two seasons, the episodes he hosted were the best shows of each season.

:D

He’s an industry plant.

He was made by gay scientists, just like Seth Meyers

@@abbygail1995 in heaven they made 2/3 of a gay person but forgot to slip the switch

Other rejects include Jim Carrey, Stephen Colbert, Steve Carrell, Lisa Kudrow, and Aubrey Plaza.

That’s so crazy because obviously these people are funny, I wonder what made them reject them

Sarah Rau good lord i really had no idea. interesting how they are offered to guest host later too.

@@nathalia2420 Maybe they see potential in casting them in other shows

@@nathalia2420 The Jim Carrey one was because Carrey saw a man about to commit suicide by jumping off the building and he feared he'd be driven to suicide too.

some day he’s definitely going to have a documentary made about him

He touches the funny bone in everyone's soul

He’s like if your grandma didn’t get old.

Makes you wonder if he would've been more famous had he just been rejected - kinda like the other rejects.

Bobby and Donald Glover used to do stuff together pre SNL/30 Rock too. They were in a comedy group that pushed stuff to KZfaq in the early days

@@tactiCole_ bobby was part of derrick comedy? i thought he was just in the mystery team movie.

@@aerofuzz He made it into some of their sketches too. Looking at their youtube he isn't listed as a 'member' so maybe he just appeared in some. He is in the 'bro r*pe' video off the top of my head, and I think in a couple more sprinkled in there.

@@tactiCole_ ahh you're right! so crazy seeing aubrey and ellie in the movie too, hope they all still keep in touch

wait what

@@luciaiacono2419 right!?

he did! he went home a few days ago

I think maybe op is taking about Pete?

@@RuuDBoY868 no, John relapsed on alcohol, he’s a self described alcoholic that’s why he stopped drinking, he also used to do hard drugs and relapsed on cocaine aswell

love him!

👌

Read that in John's Ice Impression Voice.

Or like TV show hosts host TV shows. Or like puppeteers control puppets. Or like mimes creep everyone out.

@@johncheshirsky8822 or like when clowns perform at the circus

Terrence Harris-Hughes Then everything fades out and it says “executive producer Dick Wolf”

"we all"? Nah, I don't. Speak for yourself, don't bring us into this

Now I have to Google Timothee Chalamet.

Yeah, I still don't know who he is

MoTastic777 he went to my school lol

YES

Dimitra Vasileiadou I had no clue who he was when he showed up on the Stefan sketch. Now I’m obsessed with him. His standup, his musical show, his SNL hosting skills. I had no idea about Steve Higgins either for the longest time! They have some real sleepers behind the scenes!!!

Excellent points!

Yeah in the older footage he had the vibe of someone still figuring it out. I think he still has anxious energy but he's much better at performing with it and using it.

Already is.

Already is...!

HE IS one of the greats. Comedic genius.

But why’s John mulaney

if you breathe ur gay no one asks who

@@max123__ he lijes to john the mulany

But we all know that he’s constantly on the edge of an anxiety attack

I am 14 and this is deep

Like Larry David and Conan O’Brien.

张启予 I love how he admits once you work with them, you always work with them. I love when they bring people back on the show. And I love that Steve Higgins is Jimmy Fallon’s commentator and second comedian. They’re so good together. Same building, similar team, still working together. It’s beautiful!

Higgins is funnier than Fallon.

Assuming you have not yet seen this, I'm gonna link here (and also put the link randomly on a comment section for others who ''seek'' to overcome depression by watching SNL sketches) the documentary about the SNL creating process, that can be entertaining and informative as well, made by James Franco. Honestly, I did not even knew such thing exist, but the insight into the whole process from the time when Seth was a head writer and Higgins was a producer and Hader / Mulaney's chemistry is clearly palpable even before John came up with Stefon e c.t. has made me (for an hour and a half) not to think about the global pandemic and the 2020 daily playlist. If you've already seen it, than I apologize for linking it under your comment from 7 months ago, but if you didn't... I hope it can take your mind off for a while. I hope you are safe and soon to enjoy the behind story telling video of the team back then. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e9tjf9yqzM-3eoE.html

SuppSamanthaa what dreams are made of

and imagine REJECTING HIM

Addicts love me so I sort of can 😂 (said lovingly, he’d think it’s funny)

And yet he didn’t invite him on the trip

Anais S. Okay but he’s really working the scruffy beard

@@brenna_boop6341 (it's a reference)

Anais S. I know, I’m simply acknowledging that young Mulaney is rockin a baby beard

@@brenna_boop6341 okay! He is, that is also very off brand. Pre- knowing what his brand was

How dare you that's an Asian woman

Love them, both! Fun fact: I went to theatre camp with that straight-looking gay man, back in 1988. That's when and where he was discovered by Mark Medof. I'm so lucky to have had that amazing experience!

Fair.

Amy Felix 😂

Bro I love you!

We might have gotten one with Studio 6D on the Sunset Strip

30 Rock

@@JaQuicker 30 Rock is easily one of my favorite shows, but don't think we had a Lorne avatar in that. You can argue Jack Donaghy, but I think he was more a parody of bottom line capitalism ego-centric corporate nonsense. Jack wasn't even it for the sake of being in the entertainment business. It as just a step on his path to becoming a corporate overlord.

he should definitely have a documentary or something of the like made after he dies

Alison Chin agreed

Literally anyone is better than Jimmy Fallon

I'll second that ONLY if Pete cohosts

Jimmy Fallon is good.

@@zeeshantahir2620 Yes, but John is great & hilarious.

Lemmi Chillmister Jimmy Fallon was on SNL

Bwah bwah bwah!!! WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT????

I know it's unfair to comedians to expect them to never reuse material, particularly when it's good, but it does get tiresome when you already know the punchline and for some reason it's different than just rewatching a joke being told when it's in a different setting. Kid Gorgeous was a bit disappointing for me because I'd watched Hilarity for Charity specifically for John, so when KG was released and I realized I'd already heard some of its best jokes, it was just a slight bummer.

Agree 100%; this compounded with the fact that laugh-track sitcoms have been wanting in popularity in general, the show never had a chance. I'd pay good money for a serialized Sack Lunch Bunch tho

He would do much better in a talk show or variety show style forum. His sit com was just too formulaic.

Glad another froob caught this one.

So true. Watch some of his interviews with Sam Jones (search KZfaq for Mulaney Sam Jones) - very relaxed, not so much "ON" and performing. Really nice.

lol it’s weird right? comedians sound so different not performing

Laura Roda ~ nice ~

John Mulaney for PRESIDENT!!!!

I have a friend too. I swear. He lives in Canada. You wouldn’t know him.

Right?! Its not just the look. Our friends have similar mannerisms are are very intelligent.

Yessss! He seems like a power player, behind the scenes. So funny!

Lulu Rae Canaan I was left wanting more!

Ever seen this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtFda5agns21mZ8.html ? If not, fill your boots (if you also love Bill Hader... I'll assume you do...)

It is more than ten minutes long h a h a h a

No, he had to go into rehab

They flew private lmao
