‘Everybody’s Live With John Mulaney’ Turns a One-Off Experiment Into Consistently Delightful Chaos: TV Review


The Netflix debut of John Mulaney's talk show 'Everybody's Live' picks up right where 'Everybody's in LA' left off.

The ‘70s-inspired set on a Hollywood soundstage proved a metaphor for the transition from one-off experiment to a three-month run of a dozen weekly episodes: mostly the same, with minor tweaks only apparent to a small subset of nerdy aficionados. Mulaney’s four-wheeled friend needed no introduction for those who watched the bug-eyed apparatus develop into a full-fledged character last spring, but neophytes dropping in on a major launch from a worldwide streamer may have been left scratching their heads. Without the ability to edit down and tighten a pre-taped segment, the chit-chat between actor Michael Keaton and personal finance columnist Jessica Roy on the night’s selected topic — lending money to friends and family — could wander aimlessly.
