John Mulaney’s ‘Everybody’s in L.A.’ Moved to Emmys Talk Series Category to Face Late Night Hosts (EXCLUSIVE)


Netflix's John Mulaney's Everybody's in L.A. moved to Emmys talk series category.

Netflix ‘s live smash “John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in LA,” featuring the Emmy-winning stand-up comedian celebrating the quirks and unique personality of the beloved city, was massively popular on the platform. The streaming giant had planned to submit the show into the scripted variety category, where it would compete against the long-running “Saturday Night Live” and “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.” However, Variety has learned exclusively that Netflix and the creative team felt the show was better suited for the talk series category and, as a result, will now compete against late-night hosts such as Jimmy Kimmel, Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers, and Jimmy Fallon. Alongside his witty sidekick Richard Kind and the very efficient Saymo, the robot delivery cart, Mulaney’s 70s-inspired talk back is the latest to shake up the category, devoid of an agreed-upon frontrunner.
