John Mulaney Talks Buttigieg, Subway Showtime & Musical Boners | Extended Interview | DESUS & MERO

Confirmed: John Mulaney is popping and we all love him

[@randyjax09]

John Mulaney is like a 1920’s mobster, a grandma, & an Asian drag queen all rolled into one.

[@MC-nw9on]

That’s because of his Chicago talk

[@Heather-vg1dh]

And you know what? That's fine. I need a surprise episode where it's an hour long and they're hanging with the guest. That could get the Emmy.

[@joe.limbus]

@@PantsCommaJordy exactly. I feel like Dave Chappelle would be that kind of guest. I could see him doing this show one day once a few of his friends come on.

[@samanthanickson6478]

marlon wayans. he is surprisingly a very good guest when on the show.

[@bealtesandfloyd]

“John, we could talk to you all day.” John without skipping a beat: “Let’s do it then.” That, my friends, is comedic timing at its finest 👌.

[@nickh7689]

I love that as I was scrolling the comments I read this one as they were saying it.. like a script lol

[@ThomasPerezGhost]

And then the interview went on for another ten minutes!

[@nikolaspapadopoulos1845]

I’m pretty sure every dad in the history of the world has made that joke

[@peachesandpoets]

I love that both d and m were probably being screamed at in their inears to wrap but mero was ignoring it and desus tried like 4 times 😂

[@thaelectricfeel]

I like how they tried to close the interview and then John was like "Naw I got time"

[@earsbeats]

Yeah loved that. I was a bit sad no one jumped on the “highness” pun opportunity when they were trying to “hide [Harry’s] highness” lol. These three have raised my expectations for comedic quickness to unreasonable standards. Fucking razor wit.

[@abm697]

Anyone know if this interview was pre or post intervention?

[@VioletEmerald]

​@RR pre-. His intervention was December 2020 and this was posted in February 2020 so this is not just pre- intervention but pre- America being aware of the pandemic too

[@LiamCoen3]

He really said "now they gotta hide his high-ness", referencing the stoned Prince of England hiding from the Queen and didn't even realize it was a beautiful pun

[@earl-larsen]

Liam Coen BARS!

[@djwb1973]

I noticed that too! It was too perfect!

[@IndomitableAde]

It's Desus Nice. His wordplay is intentional. I'd bet he knew it was double entendre.

[@djwb1973]

Ade Akili Even so, I’m not sure that Mulaney noticed. I think something that clever deserves some acknowledgement! I’m always amazed by how quick and clever some people are. It takes me forever to come up with funny shit, and then it’s not even close to what these guys think up.

[@javiercruz7388]

I caught that too 😂

[@Nefariousbig]

John has no concept of ever being described as the most poppin' anything, his reaction is priceless

[@celiashen5490]

More likely, he gets "You look like Snap, Crackle or Pop."

[@erroldelu893]

More shows need a Googler/fact checker right off camera. "$40M" "He quit last week!"

Millenials are getting older. We grew up with John Mulaney. He's our comedic living legend.

[@Maddieray11]

I have just noticed that whenever John mulaney does the voice of his younger self he does a really thick Chicago accent as if that’s how he spoke as a child and over time it’s faded I love this man I really do

[@pettypettywoodchuck2]

Do you have Adams Family Values?

[@BuildinWings]

We talk that way when we get loud. The accent just comes out.

[@AngelicaRodriguez-mb2ld]

[@aliciad8553]

I love that the interview kept going because Mulaney was having fun and didn't want to leave. Desus and Mero prefer to talk to their guests rather than do the predictable late-night Q&A. The best guests are the ones who appreciate their "interview" style and riff back and forth. Mulaney, AOC, and Hader are great examples.

[@reen4450]

I like how he still felt the need to ask if the interview was good at the end even tho it was hella obvious everyone was having a great time. It's definitely better to have a guest who wants to keep talking to u then one who's just waiting for the time to run out.
