Royal Watch: John Mulaney on Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and Netflix’s The Crown- Late Night with Seth Meyers
• Royal Watch: John Mula...
Late Night with Seth Meyers
/ latenightseth - Komedie
Having Seth introduce Mulaney and then smash cutting to him sitting on the couch sitting in complete silence with no applause is the funniest thing I've seen all day.
it gave off the vibe that John had just teleported there as the card was read
New pandemic normal weird and funny hits differently
It almost had a sesame street/reading rainbow vibe... or maybe ‘crisis conversations rainbow’
@@ST-ik7wm He's completely drugged up the poor guy. This is awful and I wish Seth Myers would take it down. Take care John, best of luck and strength. 💖
@@maureen669 So what. For starters, you don’t know if what you write is true. You’re just blathering cheesy gossip from the New York Post, one of the worst newspapers in existence. A newspaper owned by the pig of pigs, Rupert Murdoch. If anything should be taken down, it’s your ill-informed comment. What a doltish reaction. You actually believe the New York Post. Wow. That’s a low road you’re on.
Him sitting there, pretending he DIDN'T kill Princess Diana
You can check the tv it’s still WaRm!!
Luckily he had an alibi since he was in Wisconsin and TWELVE
@@zach3890 C I R C U M S T A N T I A L
He was over on the bench.
of course he isn't invited to dine with the royalties, he's a threat.
“i am reading this cue card for the first time” - bill hader in every stefon update segment
Lmmfao that feels VERY Accurate hahaha
😂😂😂😂😂
Bill hader didnt read it, seth would!
The shade thrown in the first couple minutes us crazy.
Who’s here to rewatch this interview after watching Mulaney’s latest special on Netflix? …the awkward moments make more sense now lol
I’m here watching because I PAUSED his first episode of his new night show interviewing…ray j… to google if he relapsed
That jacket that Mulaney got from The Strokes basically turns him into an alter ego
literally .. who is this man??!
So True 👍
And that wasn't even the one he wanted.
The best character, just John in a Jacket and glasses taking about things he knows little about. I need more
Jackie Shades!
This is literally the conversation you have at 5am with the friends who are still awake after getting drunk/stoned all night.
I completely love it, too. : )
i was just thinking that he sounded/looked high lmao
100%. Kinda felt like I should get a buzz on and re-watch.
@@xalysonx OMG yes! I bet it would be even funnier.
@@bobbixvv absolutely
why does this feel like something they released by accident
Did anyone think there was something fishy about this interview the first time, and now, after the rehab thing, it makes a lot of sense? Hoping you get better, John. Your fans love you, and we know you’ll get through this!
He seems a bit aggressive, imo, no?
@@regan3873 I think impulsive is a better word. He’s probably drunk.
Yes, I remember thinking he sounded different in this interview. He’s usually more polite and well spoken. This was still funny, but it was surprising to see him be so aggressive and ranting here( even if it was a joke. )
Legit came back to this video after hearing the news cause I remember the first I saw it I was like “he seems drunk.... but like.... he’s been sober for a decade plus.... right?”
Not really, I think this is pretty classic mulaney. This segment is intentionally silly and awkward. Don't assume what's going on.
he didn’t speak a single coherent thought in this entire video
i love it
Lose the trench coat John. For a man who famously looks sublime in a well-tailored suit, it makes NO SENSE.
Bouncybon you don’t get it
@@egorkotkin Why should you care if I "get it" or not?
@@Bouncybon guys please don't fight in front of the children
@@Bouncybon Well its he shouldn't be sitting down with it. I'm sure he looks great walking down the street, but if he's gotta sit...
I think its unconscionable that they allowed Princess Diana's murderer on the fantastic new segment Royal Watch.
Check the tv it’s still warm! 😰
THATS WHAT I SAID
Is there a CZcams clip of this? Please give the link if you have it
Mmmm I like this
I am four days younger than John, and Princess Di died on my birthday (it was still the 30th here in the U.S.; technically August 31st in Paris at the time).
So are we all here again after Seth's most recent interview with John?
Yes. Yes I am
Yep
I certainly am. Glad I am not the only one. So thankful John has the widespread love and support that he does, it’s going to make a big difference. Sending him nothing but love and respect ✊
Yeah, but, i didn’t want to keep watching. It makes me thankful that his friends stepped in. My daughter used one of his pieces for interp and just loves him. Good things for him to come now!
Obviously
The nuanced hilarity of the, "don't marry into the most jive ass boring family and then say 'soo, should we play never have I ever?'" joke is underrated.
Then his face after he said it was like....'nailed it'
🤣
Spot on!
Can't believe I had to scroll this far for a comment recognizing the genius in this bit. That is such a great line and the knowing smile @ 4:00 is just the icing on the cake.
Dude that smile was more like "that last bump is kicking in."
He’s tweaking out
@@tater6124 maybe, but he’s also hilarious
Seth: *brings up princess diana*
John: LETS CHANGE THE SUBJECT
And then he brought her up himself later... to ward off suspicion, perhaps?
T Kay I think it’s because Seth counteracted Johns point on lack of royal drama in media with examples of royal scandal🤣 he looked stumped 😩
@@legenddaxton2261 okay, but, WHY did you hack your girlfriend's instagram? did she say you could?
Wow. Im a huge fan of this dude. But this is like dr. Jeckle and Mr. Hyde. I hope he's doing well.
This video is my last two brain cells trying to write an essay about the royal family that’s due tomorrow and it’s 3am
We in Britain have always had a King or a Queen as top banana. After a thousand years of roaring “God save the King!” (Or Queen) why would we change? SOMEBODY has to be out in front.
Thanks, John, for taking an interest. You’d make a delightful absolute monarch.
Perfect description! 🏆
@@Bouncybon the concept of "top banana" has me losing my goddamn mind
Why would you do that?
THANK YOU LMAOOO i was like ‘what am i even watching right now...’ this comment helped
I get that this was created while he was most likely abusing substances, but I believe this sketch was intended to come across as a bit unhinged/absurd regardless. You’re still allowed to laugh at this, he’s being funny on purpose. Glad he’s making healthy choices tho
Yeah I'm seeing this for the first time right now and I definitely laughed a number of times. Knowing him and what we know now I think it's fairly easy to pick out when he's being awkward on purpose and when he's unfortunately lost in himself.
@kz1000ps Like in the end when he was talking about himself and kind of just stared off into the distance. You can also tell seth knew something was up, too.
I dont think any of this is intended. Just listen to Seth's tone at the end. "If you need to talk any of this out just call me" part. He's sad because he knows John is completely out of it and talking in circles and its very obvious. Ive watched both of these guys for years and ive never heard John talk this way or Seth show concern in his voice like this. Hes always "matter of fact".
@@bryanhelton5226 See, if this was live TV, that could be the case. But this is a prerecorded, scripted sketch that was cleared to be published-if Seth was truly concerned I doubt he would have let this air.
@@cbh4166 The problem with this excuse lies in the contracts. If John signed a contract and wants to get paid for the appearance it has to published or at least part of it. This wasnt aired on TV but uploaded to the internet to fulfil the contract obligation so he can get his money which I would assume John wanted/needed. Seth is always very succinct and on point and this seems very awkward for him
Poor guy had 15 years of sobriety under his belt. The stress of this year got to him. Hope he and Anna end up alright.
Edit: And now he’s dating Olivia Munn! What you doing John boy
One year later edit: So now John and Olivia have a kid together. Most importantly, he’s on a huge comedy tour at the moment and I’m seeing him in April and I hope he spills all the juicy beans
The fact that he was probably high or drunk the day before this makes me want to cry
He is always awkward.. it seemed normal to me
He is blitzed in this interview...The other video is pretty rough. I wish the best for John.
@@JazzyB9481 I agree with you 💯
None of them were saying this before he released a statement
fla la it’s almost like hindsight helps people see things they might have missed before...
This is the interview that keeps giving. Just give him a weekly segment on the show and make him wear that exact outfit Everytime. Haha
I’m not so sure. From what I can gather, they probably filmed a bunch of things all in one day, and then are just repackaging them throughout the rest of the year. I say this solely because neither of their outfits change, and my assumption is that at least Seth would change his shirt
@@VikingDevil53 Johns socks are different
SeaWordCutegirl.link
Yer he won't leave so they just kept filming
With his posture getting weirder and weirder each time.... I love it
I feel like once a week John just texts Seth and says “I’m really bored. Can I come and riff on the show again?”
He writes for Seth now. It's his job to get bored and riff on the show now and we all profit
@@eruption257 I did not know that! Did he replace Amber on the staff?
@@kenechiachusiogu1717 I assumed she would leave Seth's staff because she has her own show now.
this segment is weird because john mulaney made it seem in his standup that he was diana's killer
@@bachbuixuan401 whyd u copy and paste someone elses comment lol
Poor dude. This year has been terrible and I don't blame him for slipping. I just hope he gets better soon.
Yeah you watch this knowing he was high and suddenly you notice how off he is
It really broke my heart and to think that we were so clueless while he was suffering.. my prayers are with him always.
@@lianah7837 Yeah it's sad. Poor guy.
@@kavyac9437 Sadly that is usually the case with people. They suffer in silence because they are embarrassed or don't want to be a burden. I went through something similar myself. It can be hard to reach out. I'm glad he did.
@@KnivesNIN he checked out of rehab last night the article said he’s doing well just not ready to get back to work but he’s totally on board with getting sober and hasn’t taught against it
bold of him to talk about Princess Diana as if he didn't kill her.
Yes! And how did he predict that the Queen would die in 30 months? 🤨 Kind sus
@@lindsayw.2244 lol huh?
John looks like he's about to stand up and Rick Roll us.
That would have won the day.
He’s never gonna give us up
@@Sueloveschoc Nor would he ever let us down.
Or fight a Terminator
I would love to see that! Or the Terminator thing. Or both. :)
I’m hoping Seth and John filmed 17 hours of “jacket” content for the next several months
“The 2020 Sunglass and Jacket Tapes” bring them all
Mulaney is working there now.
@@brady2075 is he the studio detective?
@@brady2075 I wouldn't be surprised if that's just the cover for the real story that John got lost in 30 Rock on Halloween and just kinda appears at Seth's show whenever.
asinloveyunz.linK
this feels like some bojack horseman episode tbh
yeah the energy is completely off
Seeing this after the intervention interview hits different
I wish I’d seen it before I knew, so that I’d have an idea of how it first came across. That said...yeah. It seems like Seth is really trying to figure out why the heck they’re doing this bit. And JM...if I didn’t know, I’d say he was doing Norm MacDonald style antihumor. Now it just reminds me of someone I knew who couldn’t focus AT ALL after he tried Adderall. Ironic, I know.
this segment is weird because john mulaney made it seem in his standup that he was diana's killer
What do you mean, seem? He was clearly not Diana’s killer. Definitely. Probably. Maybe.
Of course not, he was in Wisconsin at the time...and 12.
@@Magnum3144 and 15 and in Chicago
Both lies to cover that he was totally a 38-year-old time traveler in France.
But he was over on the bench!
I don’t know what point John was trying to get across but I understand and agree
"You have your late-night show, and me, I got this sweet ass trenchcoat from Julian."
And that’s the point!
I want to know why John is so sure the Queen only has 30 more months to live.
I feel like John might have been on the verge of a breakdown.
@@serenawillabella8570 he's coming for her like he did Princess Diana
This is comedic gold despite what everyone says. First question from Seth, “why did you right this skit this way” the awareness of it being so odd is hilarious.
It being odd? Is that why he called him out. I was wondering why john writing it like it's a recurring sketch is john flexing his ego. Cuz when John said both. N Seth said well were in it now like he thought johns answer if both was bs
@@briancannon3987 nah it was definitely written that way for the absurd humor aspect
@@ianscarlett6884 john wrote it like it's a reoccurring sketch (I don't understand) to make it seem like John was chosen to cover the royals (again I don't understand) but before the interview began john did pat himself on the back for being chosen. Then Seth called him out. We really see Johns true colors here. In his words "I sometimes act like a rotten Prince" so I think it's fair to say he's a little obsessed with the royals so he can imagine himself one
@@briancannon3987 what makes you think he just suddenly stopped being a comedian (whose job it is to act a certain way for laughs) and suddenly use his "actual personality" ? Weird assumption to make that every other sketch john has ever done is fake but in this 1 specific show he shows his "true colors"
@@ianscarlett6884 totally based off what john said when asked the question "do you think about your own funeral" "I'd like ppl to be honest, he was at times a rotten Prince(true colors). N I was late a lot. Ppl would tell him and I'd still be late n I always said it was the traffic" that says something about a person's character. He was 2 hours late to his intervention he thought it was dinner ....
Can we all take a moment and appreciate that pre-rehab John Mulaney almost perfectly predicted the death of Queen Elizabeth!!!
This seems like John’s alter ego that is friends with Pete Davidson
I think John’s regular ego is friends with Pete Davidson lmao
hahahahah omg yes
Considering John is currently in rehab, I would say that’s probably pretty accurate
Oof
I think this is the most accurate comment on here. And I’m including the comments post rehab.
Seth: Princess Diana
John: **immediately panics**
If they weren't, like, best friends, the energy here would be so uncomfortable, but instead it's so charming
So you do agree princess Diana's death was the biggest event in the last 100 years? right?
video killed a radio starrr
He was in Wisconsin and TWELVE.
You can check the tv it’s still WARM
i’m ngl i know he had relapsed before this interview, but i feel like john saying ‘that’s something you wait out gangsta’ to Prince Harry should’ve been the sign
The second the words "that’s something you wait out, gangsta" came out of John's mouth, in that coat and those sunglasses, my fight/flight/freeze kicked in, lol. This is not a hindsight is 20/20 thing - it was a moment that stunned me. I was like "No, nope, that didn't just happen, did it?" He was soooooo damn loose, basically. Sober John walks a more deliberate line.
Edit: To be clear, I thought it was hilarious, too. It can be both things.
Yeah. knowing the context now....this dude is zonked...glad he's doing better
He insists he was “sober” during this but of course there’s lingering effects probably from the day before
@@tuckerwoodson4134 nah bro he said he was out of his mind on cocaine during this
@@monomorris6599 no, what he actually said was "I was definitely high the day after, and probably the day before, but not the day we were shooting"
I got it backwards, actually, but he still asserts that he was sober, or at least, "wasn't on drugs", but he does look pretty strung out.
He’s definitely zooted
"Please, call me Euge. I'm living at the froggy doggy castle." I'm dying.
"Like, get outta here with that!" HA!
"England has a national family that gets dressed up in costumes"
He couldn’t even get through it without dying lmaoooo
I'm so glad we can finally relax and watch something silly like this now that we don't have insane t**** stories every day!
"Please, call me Euge. I'm living at the froggy doggy castle." I'm dying.
I want to know why John is so sure the Queen only has 30 more months to live.
He’s gonna take her out too
time travler
After Diana...one down, one to go
They will both live forever
killed diana, killing the queen... who knows, maybe harry will be next
I’m kind of amazed they’ve left this clip up for people to watch still
It's not like it's a secret
You know I had to come back to this after his most recent interview. To know he would be in a intervention and rehab in less a month later. I am so happy he is better and hope it keeps getting better.
The random segment titles popping up have me DEAD
I love that each segment title is just John figuring something new out.
Ikr that was also my favorite part 😂😂
“Prince Harry has entered the chat” it’s nice to know that gen z popularized slang is a part of his vocabulary.
We have the Sack Lunch Bunch to thank for that.
that's what i was thinking!
I think he found the world of John Mulaney tiktok
The fact that in another video from this night he made an Amy Barrett name joke, how very tik tok of him
Y’all realized chat rooms were around for millennials too, right? And John’s a millennial?
I feel like he really wanted to talk about his own divorce through the lens of the royal marriage. It's almost like a Bojack episode.
This does feel like a bojack episode 😂 just some weird fever dream
Omg yes, this is like bojack
especially looking like Philbert
When Seth says to call him next time kinda shows how probable that really is.
As much as I care about John Mulaney and as concerned as I am for his well-being, I really don’t see why this clip specifically would come off as him being on something. Seth seems to be obviously reading off of cue cards which needed to be made beforehand (on late night shows the topics they discuss are usually pre-planned). There’s also a defined bit happening here, the premise being that John came up with an idea for a whole segment so he could come on and share his thoughts. Which are the same knee-jerk reactions that a lot of people had to Meghan and Harry leaving only to come to a more nuanced perspective on the situation with the help from Seth. Before learning that John was entering rehab after relapsing I loved this video and I honestly still love it just as much now.
agree, this is a bit. This is how an avarage actor acts intoxicated.
It also sounds super weird because there is not audience
You can still love it, but that’s not just fans thinking he seems high - it was reported by sources close to Mulaney and picked up by some reputable news outlets.
@@cduncan6182 reputable? you think page six is reputable?
@@cbh4166 LA Times specifically mentions the Page Six report as the first one on the story. Maybe they're not always reputable, but as I said some reputable outlets picked up/confirmed the story
John’s putting this out to distance himself from the rumor that he killed Princess Diana.
HE WAS 12 AND IN WISCONSIN
@@athena854 I see... so you're saying he may have had help?
athena854 or maybe 15 and in Chicago

Okay but why is John dressed like hes gonna go into an abandoned bunker and film a music video that will define a generation
He's never going to give you up
czcams.com/video/XKDNFl6o4Mk/video.html

he was given the jacket and sunglasses by julian casablancas when he hosted SNL and now seems to have co-opted it as his late night appearance uniform
@@TehFrenchy29 and he's never going to let you down
the way that we all kind of noticed something was off 😕 love you john, sending good health ❤️
His most recent interview makes this make so much more sense
“that’s something you wait out, gangsta” john what 😭
@@zachhayes9512 I think they know that
nice pfp
Lmfaooo
time stamp?
The subheadings give this a real last-minute high school presentation vibe and I really appreciate it LOL
His behavior here makes so much sense now, get better John!
Right? I remember thinking he sounded different in this interview. He’s usually more polite and well spoken. This was still funny, but it was surprising to see him be so aggressive and ranting here( even if it was a joke. )
@ RACHEL CALDERON REALTOR same! I was honestly kind of shocked at the way he was speaking. Like it was John Mulaney, but it wasn't at the same time. You can tell Seth knew something was up in the end.
No it doesn't. Most of this is weird because its unedited. The piece itself isn't well written. The inherent point of the joke is that no one cares about the joke but john mulaney. Not that it can't still be funny, I just personally didn't find the laughs there. The only nod towards his future rehabilitation was that "its been a hectic time...for the windsors". Still, this weird 'we now know he would eventually go to rehab so everything is evidence of that' is bullshit. Again, smart but unfunny joke that I think gestures towards his own relationship with conservativist style. I remember how when I first watched this I was shocked he said late 20th century vernacular. But otherwise, no one would have known. Seth Meyers comes off as a dick tho.
@@joshuakarimi7447 Its not bullshit dude. You can clearly see he is very intoxicated. have have you ever seen anything from John? He's way out of it and cant complete a single train of thought. Look at his eyes. Look at the way he sits and fidgets with his outfit/couch. Ive known several coke heads and their brain goes 100mph while their mouth is going 40 and thats why its not coherent. ts so obvious Seth ends it early.
The sunglasses...
This makes me so sad. There is nothing more sad that seeing a comic like this. As a person who loves their part of being part of the support crew of a comedy club this is heart wrenching and I hope with all of my soul he gets well enough to just live. A world without Mulaney is a dark world indeed. Nothing is more important than his wellness.
as a person who loves their part of being part of the support part of crew of comedy part of a club
@@pacoTHE1ANDONLY I read that and had a stroke
wait, why are you saying this like there's a risk he might die? is he unwell?
@@Olivia-hg6gc he relapsed and checked himself into a rehab 2 weeks ago. John was on substances during this segment which is why he seems off and it’s a bit disjointed
@@mynameisbeech where did you get this info from?
That's the most unhinged I've seen Mulaney. It was fun to watch.
I found it a little disappointing - they just rambled on, without getting any particular point across, and it wasn't even particularly funny. I think Seth felt the same way. Usually, they have fireworks going.
@@lenkacfk7155 I quite enjoyed it without a point. I like john a lot as a person, so I think it was nice to see him a little more free-flowing like this!
Its juliens jacket and shades, he has absorbed that rock star energy.
@@lenkacfk7155 Bold of you to assume we don't like unhinged rambling.
He was super high 💯💯💯
Alternate titles include: John Mulaney talking in circles for 10 minutes straight.
"John Mulaney talking in circles for 10 minutes straight and you will enjoy watching it"
See his explanation of his Myers-Briggs results in his video about VSCO girls.
And I love it.
He’s high on coke he just entered rehab
He looks absolutely wrecked in this video. Drugs and booze!
okay, kinda insane that he said the queen had 30 months left to live and 29 months later after this was uploaded the fucking queen died
In which John Mulaney accidentally reveals he is an 80-year-old British lady (obsessed with royals, doesn't understand the internet, etc)
The lack of an audience response actually makes this funnier. Plus it rather pointedly showcases the command of timing Seth and John have - they're not responding to an audience in the room, they're just THAT GOOD at knowing when the next line needs to happen.
Agree! Its like going from watching The Bimg Bang Theory to The Office, where you laugh because things are funny rather than hearing other laugh. Personally I love it
I love how everybody hates on Big Bang for using a laugh track when 90000 different shows have also used a laugh track and never is anything said about them.
@@ryanl784 The criticism of BBT is not so much that the laugh track is there, but that the laugh track is there and the show (allegedly) isn't funny. Before that it was Joey - the Friends spinoff - and Friends had previously gotten the same criticism. Before that it was Fresh Prince of Bel Air, before THAT it was Mama's Family, and in the dark ages of sitcom history it was Joanie Loves Chachi.
Of that entire list, the only one I myself legitimately didn't think was funny was Joanie Loves Chachi. Even Joey didn't deserve its reputation - audiences just didn't "get" the show. All the rest not only WERE funny shows, they stayed on the air for years with a substantial audience, and Fresh Prince in particular is regarded as one of the best sitcoms ever.
So I don't really think the exemplar of an "unfunny sitcom" has any truth to it at all, ever, it's just a social agreement that we will use this show as shorthand for a bad sitcom. Even if it's not a bad sitcom. We'll just pretend it is.
Awesome observation/point - thanks!
I know it feels like a crazy 3am convo that you're sitting in on and I love it
The “In Summation” title card sent me to another planet. Bold of them to assume there was anything said at all in this segment that could be remotely summarized.
Summated. 🤣😂
lmfaoooooo same. he sees his life flash before his eyes
Looking at him at 9:18 and seeing him have this realization of the Royal Family was beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. I've heard stuff about his small shows in NYC and I hope he'll be ok. "When I'm alone, I realize I'm with the person who tried to kill me." Love you, Mulaney. We'll be here for you.
Yeah that moment of genuine, raw human emotion got to me. I didn’t expect to watch this and cry but… So glad you commented about that moment too and also so glad that John is now still in recovery and happy.
Just heard John had to check in rehab. Hope he'll get better soon, I can't imagine how painful it must be to be there during holidays. His humour and is delivery are the ones that makes me laugh the most.
I want a Mulaney standup special with him in that coat and a shot of Julian Casablancas watching like a proud father
If they weren't, like, best friends, the energy here would be so uncomfortable, but instead it's so charming.
Edit: Knowing that John was on drugs during this segment casts a horrible pallor over this. I'd been assuming that the delivery/structure was a bit - self-deprecating "look at this uncut material" - and, as it turns out, it really was just a deeply uncomfortable look at someone who wasn't getting the help they need. I'm glad he's checked into rehab.
They are best friends but the energy WAS uncomfortable. A few days ago it came out that John was high on drugs during this segment. He checked in to a 60-day rehab program. I hope he successfully recovers.
@@lilJuvis15 I heard about that, and while I don't want to speculate about whether he's high in this segment specifically (it's a plausible theory, but there's no way to confirm one way or the other and it feels a little mean-spirited), I probably would have found this more alarming than charming had I known about his struggles at the time. I'm also very glad he's getting the help he needs.

@@FourSixDOHC Hope you get better too man(or woman)
Ok now that he's checked into rehab this segment makes a bit more sense. Not that he's trashed here, but he's got a lightning-quick comic mind and he's clearly a step slower. Glad he's getting help and I'm looking forward to many more years of genius from him
As much as I agree, I’m glad he’s getting help-him being ‘slow’ in this segment is part of the bit. The whole bit is him doing a self-obsessed, ‘odd’ caricature of himself giving a witty take on something uninteresting which he cares way too much about like he normally does. The funny parts here are not the witticisms, but instead the awkward pauses when Seth interrupts or corrects him and changes his mind about his own remarks. YMMV but that’s how I interpreted the bit.
@@martincoder3190 No I get that he's trying to do a vapid, gossip reporter type bit, but there's a couple times where it really seems like he's losing his train of thought and he's not controlling the rhythm of the bit like he can. Funny that on what might be him on a bad day still outshines 99% of comics at their best
Exactly! He's not actually high here, he's HUNGOVER. Way worse for social settings.
@@brettbewley5798 "sources tell Page Six that Mulaney was "out of his mind" on substances during the filming of the skit"
I think he is high. He is really not smart like he normally is.
@@lisazdvoru1660 let's hope so
I've just learned that I will listen to Seth and John talk about literally anything for more or less an indefinite amount of time.
Did anyone else noice how quiet John got when Seth mentioned the death of Princess Diana, and how quick he was to change the topic? Seems kinda suspicious for me.
LETS CHANGE THE SUBJECT
kinda sus
@@kathleenclark815 watch his comedy specials
He was like, 10 or 12 when she died, if that. WTF.
@@maureen669 So?
"yES i kNOw tHAT ThIs iS the setH MeyERs nEWS" had me rolling
30 months to live was kinda accurate ngl 😂
The coat is taking over John’s personality
He's turning into Holden Caulfield.
“I disagree with you!”
“ON WHAT GROUNDS??!”
I’m stealing that 🤣
Who’s here after finding out John’s in rehab 😭
The sunglasses as well
Yeah, it's pretty evident John is struggling here. Glad he is getting help. He's a good guy.
Yeah, I remember this segment being funny, but a bit strange (not the typical John Mulaney we are used to seeing), but I couldn’t quite put my finger on what was going on. I think I just thought he was playing a character for a sketch or something. Now we know. I hope he gets better.
Me
meeeeeeeeee
Wishing you a successful recovery John, we’re all rooting for you
Well, this one I need as a T-shirt:
"I'm not chronology smart, I'm smart with words."
John Mulaney
It's no good without the next line "then spell sheriff"
I like how John mulaney had a whole character development within these few minutes lol
John I love you and I hope your recovery is going well! 💕
Seeing this now is really sad. It felt a bit off a few weeks ago, and seeing what his eyes look like is incredibly disturbing. And Seth is obviously uncomfortable and knows somethings up. I hope John knows that we’re all rooting for him and he should just do whatever he needs to get better❤️
What happened??
@@7ellowY hes in rehab for substance and alcohol abuse, and I just read that he was all messed up during this taping
That’s what I was thinking re: Seth. They’re close and Seth actually seems really concerned to me through this whole segment.
I love JM dearly and wish him the very best.
I'm glad to see rookie Late Night writer John Mulaney getting bits on the air. This kid's going places!
Kind of a rookie... hes already places...
@Faith Tan he was a writer on snl for quite a while, actually!
If only he had some form of show that I could watch, to listen to his jokes!
this was hilarious and SHOULD be a weekly segment. never cut awkward pauses again. thank you.
It was a little more chaotic since he was...on things, but it would be fun to see again.
Was this an actual segment someone wrote because it felt like you just found a dude in a trench coat at a bus stop and said hey you wanna be on TV.
@@jasondecorte485 no he was tripping balls
this entire sketch is my exact sense of humor, so mildly unhinged i love it
"Please, call me YUGE. I'm living in the Froggy-Doggy castle!"
Loooool
i'm FLOORED by the cut to john mulaney sitting on the couch in silence followed by the distant, disembodied "whoo"
"I'm smart with words, I'm smart with language"
"Well then spell the word sheriff"
"Get outta here!"
He just doesn't want to talk about Detective JJ Bittenbinder...
OF ALL THE DIGS
Yeah I didn't get that. Why did he ask him to spell sheriff? is spelling Sherriff like a sobriety test or something? Is that an American thing?
@@conradmaclean4073 Reckon it's an inside joke between them
@@conradmaclean4073 I think it was just a simple word, and so Seth was challenging John's intelligence by giving him an easy word to spell while at the same time implying that he can't
Feel better John, you're a legend
he looks so genuinely concerned in the last minute and a half of the interview about the royal family. Like he made some big discovery that changed his perspective on life.
The lack of applause or laughter makes this so much better
There was no live audience at this point of the show
agreed! It made it painfully funny
omg ive never heard John laugh so much in the middle of his jokes.... and also the way he's sitting.... mulaney u OK
Quarantine is getting to him 😂
@@doodoobutter101 😂💀😂
It’s the coat...it changes him.
knowing that seth was at john's intervention less than a month after this makes this much more interesting
I’ve had very intense struggles with alcoholism. Staying sober during the pandemic has had me stretched so thin. As much as I love John and I get genuinely excited for his talk show appearances- It would be nice to see some transparency on why this video is still up. I’m not going to lie: I love this a lot. It’s very raw, but I don’t think it’s intentional. Seth seems kind of annoyed near the end, but I really don’t know. Would love to see what other people think. Hopefully it’s just a misunderstanding.
I’ve got nothing but respect for both of these exceptional comedians. My love goes out to John and his family.
Yea I agree with you
I think they’re both awesome
Maybe they will choose to take it down
Or maybe John would want it to be used as an example
well said.. his appearance on Desus and Mero 11 months ago was really edgy, I remember thinking I like this aging, cranky Mulaney. Just learned about him checking into rehab and surprised and hoping for the best like everybody else. Obviously COVID is testing us all but I wonder if being investigated by the secret service for a joke during his SNL monologue last year was an extra strain pushing him over the edge. I'll put my money on John getting through this and coming out stronger for it. He's got all the skills needed to become one of the all time greats.
Why wouldn't this video be up ?
This is a scripted sketch. Seth is not annoyed with him, he's reading lines off of cue cards. Seth and John wrote this together. The "rawness" is part of the bit.
I need John Mulaney saying "that sounds wack as f*ck" on a loop
Bold of them to invite on the guy who single handedly killed princess diana. Shame
But he was in Wisconsin! And twelve!
@@ace-of-bats no, he was in chicago and 15.....i’m starting to suspect that he did it
Guys, I checked. His TV was still warm.
@@frostyflames7864 👏🏽🙌🏽👏🏽!!
POV: You’re here from the September 2021 interview.
3:26 Seth really boxed him into a corner there😂 he’s trying to summon his improv power.
this new writer's bits are pretty funny, maybe one day he'll make it to snl or have a stand up career 👍🏽
Yeah! I really think he had potential, maybe he should start as a writer first?
Man, I just hope a horse doesn't get loose in a hospital
Don’t know if you are being sarcastic lol but he was a writer for SNL and does stand up already. Has a Netflix special too he’s really funny. He does a joke about giving his university $120,000. So funny 😂
@@kc9843 woosh
@@kc9843hello captain obvious... Never disappoints
'She could get like one pea on a knife"
"What was she eating like Charlie Chaplin? Why was that happening?"
Omg I'm dead lmao
This interview makes sense now, praying for John
I think it's best if this video is taken down because it's clearly magnifying a rough point in Mulaney's life. All the best to him, I really hope he can get through this well!
this was weird
I loved it
probably my favorite Mulaney thing
Yes, but the ghost one from last week was even funnier, imo.
The laughs were great. Albeit virtual ones.
I love how off the wall he is. He reminds me so much of another comedian and i cant put my finger on it!!!
@@Alyssa82 yes, I love that the timing is off
maybe because it doesn't have the audience giving the proper space
@@dimitreze It looked like the glasses falling shut was a bit distracting. Also, the fact he kept donning and removing them was probably a continuity nightmare meaning they couldn't edit the piece, even if they wanted to.
@@Alyssa82 norm
This has such an unsettling aura I don't know what to feel
Called it 3 weeks ago. Good instinct
Trepidation.
Had the same feeling when I first watched his 20 minute Kimmel interview from last fall.
wishing john all the healing and love in the world, i'm so happy he's getting the help he needs and hope he is able to get some much needed rest and relief.
4:40 John calls Queen Elizabeth 94 years old (assuming she's exactly 94) and says she's got about 30 months more, the day she died was 29 months later. We know he wasn't 12 and in Wisconsin this time.
He got sloppy with this one
