John Mulaney brutally roasts SF techies at Dreamforce: “Let me get this straight. You’re hosting a ‘future of AI’ event in a city that has failed humanity so miserably?”

"Let me get this straight," he said. "You're hosting a 'future of AI' event in a city that has failed humanity so miserably?"

Any notion that the award-winning comedian would play the corporate gig safe (and clean) were thrown out the window Thursday, when Mulaney, closing the Dreamforce festivities, started roasting his host, Salesforce, and the audience sitting right in front of him. Between anecdotes about his aging parents, his stint in rehab, and fatherhood, Mulaney worked the crowd, poking fun at tech workers and their buzzwords. Since 2020, Mulaney has married actress Olivia Munn, had a son, and released a Netflix special called “Baby J,” detailing his struggles with drug addiction, and a limited series, “Everybody’s in LA.”
