John Mulaney Reminisces About His Time as a Writer at SNL

[@aryaess9881]

john looks 25 but speaks like he's from 1925

[@57bees50]

Arya Ess He’s immortal, man. He was probably a newsie and was also probably a radio host in the thirties.

[@selamw]

He's been hanging out with Spider-Noir

[@inspectahdick2406]

I hear a bit of Phil Hartman in his voice from time to time.

[@PepsiFuture]

how many people from 1925 have you spoken with?

[@dc3174]

We should go back to the transatlantic accent :)

[@silviamayo2993]

Let's see...Bill Hader says John Mulaney is the funniest person ever, John Mulaney says James Anderson is the funniest person ever, if I keep following this track I'll eventually find the truly funniest person ever.

[@marcodipietro813]

I was thinking the same thingggg

[@alizehmehdi6228]

Silvia Mayo it’s John mulaney.

[@XoIoRouge]

Mulaney said James Anderson is the funniest WRITER you'll ever WORK WITH.

[@filmfangirls9163]

Maybe itll come back around and James will say Bill Hader is the funniest!! 😂

[@yentalin12345]

The fact that the wrote the lobster sketch before Les Mis was even a movie, got rejected by Seth, and then waited until they were head writer and host respectively to push it through makes it 100x better.

[@svyt]

Actually, Seth was head writer at the time it was rejected, but was not head writer when it got aired. Almost like Mulaney believed in it enough and held onto it, waited years, finally outlasted Seth's tenure as head writer, and then went back to host to finally get it on air - and that still makes it 100x better!

[@stripedninja]

svyt that’s what he’s saying, he wrote it with colin jost who is the head writer now

[@katie-kb6qd]

yentalin12345 I don’t think it needed to be a movie yet, since it was already a musical

[@summerwilken3593]

The genuine slight tension Seth demonstrated was too funny...

[@elisecode2212]

sorry to be that person but it was a movie in 1935. though john does look like he could have been in that one.

[@cobyrich6223]

Imagine being John Mulaney’s wife and having him just storm in and yell “I’m sick of being the Flash!” How do you even respond to that?

[@AuthorReborn]

Fletch Ryans Apparently with a sick burn

[@jennhoff03]

I think I'd respond, "Then stop wearing that trenchcoat and freaking everybody out."

[@zyaicob]

I suppose the same way you respond to anything else when you're John Mulaney's wife.

[@ayushibhanja]

i can honestly say i have imagined being John Mulaney's wife

[@marceljacobs1098]

anna is a true champ

[@brianlavoie1234]

John Mulaney and Grant Gustin should do a bit on SNL called "I'm not the Flash"

[@gadabout7000]

This would be a blessing

[@sha2424]

and it should start with grant trying to live his life with people thinking he's the flash and he keeps saying "thanks but I'm just an actor there's no flash" but then john runs up in the costume and grants like wtf are you doing and johns says something about being afraid of aging and needing the attention

[@cptnjacks]

adversely, "We are the flash"

[@zyaicob]

Better idea: John Mulaney should guest star on an episode of the Flash. Or maybe John Mulaney could just be the Flash for an episode.

[@rimurutempest4945]

erm4gundr An alternate reality version of Barry Allen who became a stand up comedian instead.

this is a really good grant gustin interview

He's just gonna be alternate universe versions of every superhero. He's already Spider-Ham.

[@laurenray8995]

John Mulaney is a treasure and we must keep him safe

[@MsBettyRubble]

Lauren Ray I think we should ask the Flash to protect him.

[@austinpearce5442]

MsBettyR. He should’ve played the Flash

[@dickridinhater7816]

He is boring imo

[@maryrosekent8223]

Lauren Ray: Is he under some kind of threat? Maybe he and Anna need a bullmastiff to protect him (and keep little Tuny-fish company).

[@jjjx32]

[@TakeThisification]

The lobster sketch was the best sketch ever.

[@njuta]

He absolutely looks like Grant Gustin. Maybe not twins but in the same way Thomas Middleditch and Seth look alike.

[@thabg007]

Grant Gustin is the flash, then John Mulaney is Savitar

[@gothgf16]

He looks more like a long-lost Property Brother than the Flash.

[@nachtegaelw5389]

gothgf now that you say that I totally see it!

[@allisonwilliams7455]

Property Cousin

[@ResidentTarantino]

Please do an SNL skit where Mulaney is the Flash. Actually, get the actors who DO play the Flash from both the movie and the CW series and have them all dressed as the Flash, running behind one another so they look like one really fast guy

[@akshitagupta6015]

that second line took me out 😭😂

[@NewMessage]

He looks like The Flash during puberty.

[@popeye697]

Right!

[@jman8904]

His wife speaks the truth

[@harlequin5664]

[@bradley322]

Haha I think they forgot Grant Gustin’s name, they kept saying “yeah you kind of do look like...the Flash”

[@kgbeckj]

It was so distracting that they didn't use his real name!!! I kept waiting and waiting for them to say Grant. They DEFINITELY didn't know his name.

[@themripley]

[@TyroVideo2]

Ha! I was shocked that they didn’t do a ‘Flash’ sketch on SNL last week

[@murphyleigh6319]

See, the joke I would’ve made is that “No, I’m not the Flash” is exactly what Barry would /say/ in that situation. Therefore, denying being the flash is ineffective. Accept it, John, you’re the Flash now.
