The first episode of the comedian's multi-night special for Netflix comes off as both manic and sluggish
“We’re only doing six episodes, so the show will never hit its groove,” proclaimed John Mulaney at the start of the first episode of Everybody’s In L.A., a live multi-night special that kicked off last Friday on Netflix . The comic didn’t say he’d just flown in, but boy, did his eyes look tired. It was almost like he’d just watched the proceedings that were about to unfold. Airing at 10 PM Eastern, they cued up bedtime better than a fistful of CBD-strychnine hybrid gummies.
And why wasn’t Mulaney interacting with anyone? In-studio, if the point was to mine the comic riches of the current Netflix Is A Joke festival, Mulaney settled for a strange skim, giving the dull Stavros Halkias a spot on the couch. A live interview with a coyote rights activist would have been better as a tightly edited field segment. A weirdly fawning Q&A of reality star Ray-J might have been an extended piss-take, but the host’s POV was unclear.
