What really makes John mulaney stand out is the 1950s voice and his ability to make the mundane funny. He literally made a bit about 3 people and a dog looking at each other hilarious. Side note...if you like mulaney you'll LOVE Gary gulman. He's a very underrated comic.

[@deninevh]

You're right, and I do like GG as well. Robert Mac is another comedian who deadpans and is very funny.

It's rare that you see the SNL band reacting to and clearly enjoying the monologue so much. Not easily impressed, I'm sure, and Mulaney completely draws them in. Bravo, John.

[@samaraisnt]

I forgot that they literally know him and knew him for years until I read this comment, I thought the same.

[@valeriepark9444]

I think it helps to have a New Yorker making jokes about the Most New York Things - the audience not only relates, but they gain satisfaction in knowing that the rest of the country has no idea what he's referring to.

[@neghiethervil5606]

I love how he steam rolls through the applause. Like yes, I wrote these jokes, I know they're great. Save your praise for someone that needs it.

[@arx754]

It was probably because of the time limit he had to do his monologue; he wanted to get it all in. In a comedy club, or whatever, he would have the time to pause to allow the applause.

[@robingarrett3171]

Me too! I almost stopped watching Colbert because his pause for applause after introducing him self was soooooo annoying. But he recently knocked it off, rolls into the show faster and I am at peace. Lol

[@ffflustered9qr]

An amazing comic and truly funny man, and not a single cruel or needlessly dickish joke in sight. Offense isn't inherently funny, and Mulaney embodies that while looking and talking like a talk show presenter from the 1950s.

[@coma13794]

That is actually an outstanding summary.

[@BuyBitcoinOnline]

You do realize that this is the same guy who wrote the Hader's Stefon character where every joke was about some freaky midget's fetish, right?

[@johnny--guitar]

@@BuyBitcoinOnline I actually think that's a pretty good example of him realizing that some of his old bits didn't age very well no matter how funny they were (see how the last joke of the last Stefon bit was the fact that he managed to make "human squatty potty" technically PC)

He’s weirdly attractive for a tall child

This is the first SNL host monologue that I was able to watch all the way through to the end without weeping from embarrassment.

[@lgfl]

What about Dave Chapelle's monologue after Trump was elected? That was brilliant. I think what makes the monologue of torture is when non comedians have to open the show.

[@the8ctagon]

@@lgfl I haven't seen that one. Thank you - I'll look it up.

[@lgfl]

@@the8ctagon cool let me know what you think. Peace

[@vicjoseromero]

Born and raised in NYC. That description is completely accurate. I'm so glad that he brought up the psychology of the subway announcements. I hope he'll someday mention how the male voice reminds us that sexual harassment is illegal. Yikes!

[@MOaxol]

Victor Romero they have to...remind yall that sexual harassment is illegal?

[@tejaswoman]

The Dallas rail announcement voice has the names of the routes spliced in or something, because she always sounds like she forgot for a moment which one we're on: "This is the... [overly long pause] Green Line."

i am a Petunia stan first, human second. she will always be the alpha, no matter how many times John pretends to eat dinner at 4:30 in the afternoon.

[@michellehopelamb5353]

HeyItsReagan why do I feel like he’s still doing this in the hopes the power dynamic will change?

[@kz1000ps]

I got to meet Petunia a couple weeks ago!! She's so much cuter than I thought she'd be lol

mmmm dinner!

is that Pete Davidson's friend?

I think it's his lawyer.

@@katebattista7400 - That, or the coach with the controversial rookie.

It's that tall child.

It’s our favorite Asian-American woman.

It’s the lawyer, and conceptual piss artist, Shy

He's slowly becoming my favorite host he's killed it both times he's done it.

[@cameronengel5443]

I loved this so much! John Mulaney owns the stage! I guess it takes a great writer to know what really works!

[@treefiddytwoo]

yo he came out swinging, wasn’t expecting that!! had me in stitches 🤣👌

[@treefiddytwoo]

nope

[@katiexyz3263]

I love it when the band cracks up. Great monologue Mister Mulaney

[@ColeHolio2294]

Jesus, he killed it man, I was in tears almost the whole time. One of the best opening monologues in years and years!

[@stalinov91]

Finally, not an actor with SNL cast members having to walk in and disrupt throughout the monologue to make it "funny".

[@systemBuilder]

He was once an snl writer. He knows just how the game is played!

[@dajosee]

Since he was an SNL Writer for years, they must have faith in him

[@StanfordChiou]

Not only was he a longtime SNL writer, he's also a very experienced stand-up. He probably does funny monologues most nights of the year.

[@romansousa5301]

First time in years that I actually laughed out loud during a SNL monologue. Funny stuff!!!

[@iamskippy]

*John Mulaney graduated top of his class at the* *_MICHAEL WINSLOW school of “noise and such”_* *John excelled in noises associated with blue collar workers TRANSPORTATION VEHICLES.* His “milk truck” was voted *_MOST RACIST his Sr Year_*

That joke with Woody Allen and Soon-Yi Previn. Amazing.

[@stephanietaylor6069]

I just John Mulaney is a national treasure

[@Heirllionaire]

He was good. He just won himself a John Mulaney fan...plus he was Spider Ham so it was pretty good momentum.

[@deadmemes3122]

That clarinet player in the background looks so entertained by John Mulaney's comedy Edit: (it's probably not a clarinet, I'm an idiot and it's 3 am)

[@Publiclighthouse]

He always looks like he is having a good time. Watch him during Dave Chappell’s monologue. Thats entertaining as well.

[@juliannemclaughlin6352]

hearing john mulaney say “fun and funky beat” is all i need in my life

[@VivaLaVittoria]

omg when he was imitating the DJ cop car sirens I was dying. It is so true. I adore John Mulaney, he's the perfect combo of 50's throwback and boyish charm.
