1:02 That audition list is crazy. Even crazier now that all of them have found success.
Ellie Kemper and Donald Glover were cast on NBC shows the following year, which makes me think they were definitely kept in mind.
I liked Bobby so much on the show. I miss him.
jpguitar34 Jordan Peele also auditioned that year
jpguitar34 I mean he only listed the successful ones, but I agree that is a lot of great comedians in one room
@@TheKingsPride true, there probably also were some people we've never heard of that auditioned that day
I've heard soooo many stories about what Lorne is like and I still have no idea.
*was
He’s like the Miranda Priestly of the comedy world
He's a buisnessman. I guess he can be a nice person, but sometimes he's just has to be an asshole, because he's working for a bilion dollar company. Sometimes he'll cut a sketch, sometimes he'll dismiss someone's idea and sometimes he'll just tell someone that he screwed up. There's a reason why Lorne has been in charge longer than most of ths cast is alive.
I love your name 😅
hes nice to everyone there, but hes definitely a hard ass
This was so well edited. Do more SNL! Also, interesting to hear the laidback way John is speaking here...like his words are overlapping over each other. Quite different from his standup and interviews.
I love John Mulaney, but can we get a show about Lorne Michaels? That man is amazing.
We might have gotten one with Studio 6D on the Sunset Strip
30 Rock
@@JaQuicker 30 Rock is easily one of my favorite shows, but don't think we had a Lorne avatar in that. You can argue Jack Donaghy, but I think he was more a parody of bottom line capitalism ego-centric corporate nonsense. Jack wasn't even it for the sake of being in the entertainment business. It as just a step on his path to becoming a corporate overlord.
he should definitely have a documentary or something of the like made after he dies
I come back and rewatch this clip so often JUST to hear the Steve Higgins narration part when they fly into Chicago 04:08
TBH I think the reason "Mulaney" failed as a show is because it was some of his stand up made into a tv show. So me having watched his stand up and then watching the first episode im like oh I know that joke...and that one...and that one, which turned out to be the whole show.
Regardless of that John Mulaney is awesome and I will always be a huge fan. Hope I get to meet him someday.
I know it's unfair to comedians to expect them to never reuse material, particularly when it's good, but it does get tiresome when you already know the punchline and for some reason it's different than just rewatching a joke being told when it's in a different setting. Kid Gorgeous was a bit disappointing for me because I'd watched Hilarity for Charity specifically for John, so when KG was released and I realized I'd already heard some of its best jokes, it was just a slight bummer.
Agree 100%; this compounded with the fact that laugh-track sitcoms have been wanting in popularity in general, the show never had a chance. I'd pay good money for a serialized Sack Lunch Bunch tho
He would do much better in a talk show or variety show style forum. His sit com was just too formulaic.
The most interesting part of this video is how humble John Mulaney is, he never stated that he was really overworked because of how funny his sketches were, a truly talented person.
1:50 cue pete davidson going on holiday in jamaica with him, eight episodes in, at twenty years old
That Steve Higgens narration was sheer perfection! Ughh too often we undermine Higgins.
Yessss! He seems like a power player, behind the scenes. So funny!
This may be one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen.
That law and order bit is absolute gold though
To all average joes out there, like me, who think your need to be on SNL to be on a private plane, you don't. Just love what you do, work hard at it, and sooner or later you will be. People can tell... John Mulaney, I can tell.
Really shows Lornes eye for talent.
Bobby was such a great hire.
I LUV Steffon...he is sounds like last pages of Time Out magazine...😍🥰
What I understood from this video is that humanity owes Lorne Michaels big time.
what a thoughtful humble little boy
man, i love him so much
Can someone help me connect the dots on how the Johnny Carson story is supposed to connect to the kissing family?
It's nothing to do with the kissing family sketch. It was to do with John's attitude problem he was having after being there for a few years. Listen to how he reacted to Lorne's questioning about the setting of the sketch in the airport? John came across as a bit of an ego, forgetting who the boss is, Lorne. You don't speak to Lorne in that way. The story was about, never ever be too up your own ass on the show, they can easily fire you and get another write. There are thousands of wannabe writers out there for SNL. That was the point of the story.
John is simply BRILLIANT! 💗💗💗😎
Love that guy!
6:16 hello Stefon.
This was a really great look behind the scenes. I could listen to John Mulaney relate any story, but one that obviously means so much to him was special to see.
This was so wholesome omg aww
What a beautiful story.
Martin herilhy should take notes, it’s a fantastic organization to be a part of and he should cherish every moment he has with them
Mulaney is going to be the first SNL 25-Time host and/or take over as EP after Lorne.
lol that Pulaski drawbridge has messed up my commute numerous times as well.
John Mulaney, is going to be that Grandfather that tell amazing stories about so many amazing but different types of people, because he gets along with ever one.
kinda crazy how most of the people who weren’t hired ended up being very close and working with NBC shows/legends in the future
Asking if it was all unusable at the end is *classic* Mulaney, lol.
Great to see what SNL meant to him. Gotta love John Mulaney.
9:09 nice lost hoodie!
Omg I love John 😌✌
this is beautiful.
Damn it John mulaney is so wholesome I feel so bad he had a relapse and got divorced
John's a Sweetheart 💗🧸🐐
I'm just gonna say it... This is my favorite thing ever.
9:43 - Go Pack Go!
He’s adorable.
oh perfect my favorite
Hurry back to your fans, John. I wish you well! Be well! Your humor is wonderful and appreciated!
whats the piano music called?
He looks so lonely. The piano dosen't help haha
Great interview, wish the slide show clicking sounds didn't interfere with it.
8:48 You know I hear he’s 6’1”
I got a little emotional when he mentioned Bill and him first meeting
I am so so so obsessed with John!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!The most hilarious person I am addicted to!
charming
I didn’t know he used to live in my neighborhood, I walk that bridge every day
I fucking LOVE this! Thank you for sharing!
There has been a deficit of John Mulaney in our lives, and SNL has responded accordingly. Thank you!
You should check out “Oh, Hello the P’dcast” I’d you want more recent Mulaney, with some more recent Nick Kroll mixed in! It’s coming out over the next 7 weeks.
@@withalittlehelpfrom3 Mulaney and Kroll are guests on the P'dcast? I knew George and Gil were heavy hitters in the show biz but they got Kroll and Mulaney? Thats huge!
Trey I know, right?! Especially great after they promoted Mulaney and Kroll’s shows on another P’dcast 5 years ago! th-cam.com/video/uSW_wi4LiLY/w-d-xo.html
I know that they lost literally almost every single good cast member, but when Mulaney left, there was a very clear dip in quality.
Watch Big Mouth on Netflix. You'll get enough, and more, of John (and Nick).
Those pictures make John look like a depressed intern
Andrew Davis that is his exact vibe
one feels like a duck splashing around in all this wet
Maybe you weren't wrong. He just went into rehab
@@ortzinator he only started using again during the panoramic
@@avaa5327 Too old to be a duckling. Quack, quack!
It’s crazy everyone who auditioned that day has now made it.
Ben Adams you don’t stop when you get a “no”. I loved seeing this lineup of auditions! Incredible!
Seth Meyers said on Howard Stern that he auditioned the same day as Jack McBrayer and Kevin Hart
I’m 100% sure that he only mentioned known names, any unknowns he doesn’t remember
@msannie Except him? Are you kidding, trolling, an idiot...? All 3?
It's not crazy. It was the final or near final audition. There was probably dozens of actors trying for the job previously.
Two years in a row, the SNL episodes hosted by John Mulaney have been the best shows of each season. Amazing writer and performer.
I would say he’s amazing talker I want to say he isn’t an amazing actor because he’s basically playing John in a costume not someone else that’s why I’m surprised Nick Kroll didn’t get a spot on SNL
T O X I C M A N I A I loved Drag Brunch! And Phantom of LaGuardia!
Agree!
@@sailormagic13 Well John says his self that he's a writer at heart not a performer and I think thats true. I mean stand up is a performance and he has great stage presence but he's not the best at playing a wide range of different characters (he's improved but at the time probably way too limited) Picking him for a writer made perfect sense. Nick Kroll is a good actor and he can do a million different characters, so i agree them not picking him for a cast member is odd but alot of things factor into who they pick I guess.
Reen Nick Kroll only plays douchebags watch big mouth, the unbreakable kimmy schmidt, dinner for schmucks, parks and recreation, or literally anything else hes in, its always the douchebag that no one likes
I love how at the end he goes; “was all of that unusable?”
I loved this clip so much. Thank you SNL for releasing this!
His humbleness. And attitude.
Good editing.
Quintessential Mulaney. Good call.
some people just have the insight and timing - thanks for this!
Da da da dadadada it is not unusable
It's like the perfect SNL host was created in a lab... He's just that amazing :D
He IS the perfect SNL host. The past two seasons, the episodes he hosted were the best shows of each season.
:D
He’s an industry plant.
He was made by gay scientists, just like Seth Meyers
@@abbygail1995 in heaven they made 2/3 of a gay person but forgot to slip the switch
“Stay one year longer than you think you should” Ogh gosh, I’m cryyyyingggg.
My advice is always leave one year before you think it's time. Sometimes that's 3 months in.
same.
good lord they didn’t take Donald Glover or Nick Kroll? that is some stiff competition, that’s crazy.
Other rejects include Jim Carrey, Stephen Colbert, Steve Carrell, Lisa Kudrow, and Aubrey Plaza.
That’s so crazy because obviously these people are funny, I wonder what made them reject them
Sarah Rau good lord i really had no idea. interesting how they are offered to guest host later too.
@@nathalia2420 Maybe they see potential in casting them in other shows
@@nathalia2420 The Jim Carrey one was because Carrey saw a man about to commit suicide by jumping off the building and he feared he'd be driven to suicide too.
The fact that he squeezes a Timothee Chalamet comment in this interview is hilarious.
Amanda Merhige 👍🏻😂
What's up with Timothée chalamet not hosting the show... I didn't get that part
@@harshitaagoyal you mean the boy?! The boy is 5’11!
@@Bedroomeyezzz yeah I know that 😂😂😂 but why is he saying "then it dawned upon me"...
December 12th Timothee Chalamet is hosting! Let’s all thank John Mulaney for helping this happen!
This is magic. This could be a two hour-long documentary.
some day he’s definitely going to have a documentary made about him
You telling me this guy gets on stage and tells jokes.
Yeah Ice he's a comedian and he's doing standup. You're going to have to get used to that.
Like how actors act in plays or musicians do concerts.
Yeah man you got it.
👌
Read that in John's Ice Impression Voice.
Or like TV show hosts host TV shows. Or like puppeteers control puppets. Or like mimes creep everyone out.
@@johncheshirsky8822 or like when clowns perform at the circus
Terrence Harris-Hughes Then everything fades out and it says “executive producer Dick Wolf”
Every time Mulaney has hosted, he's hit it out of the park.
John wants what we all want. Timothée Chalamet to host.
"we all"?
Nah, I don't. Speak for yourself, don't bring us into this
Now I have to Google Timothee Chalamet.
Yeah, I still don't know who he is
MoTastic777 he went to my school lol
YES
It’s truly a testament to Bobby Moynihan’s talent that he was picked against such stiff competition
Makes you wonder if he would've been more famous had he just been rejected - kinda like the other rejects.
Bobby and Donald Glover used to do stuff together pre SNL/30 Rock too. They were in a comedy group that pushed stuff to TH-cam in the early days
@@tactiCole_ bobby was part of derrick comedy? i thought he was just in the mystery team movie.
@@aerofuzz He made it into some of their sketches too. Looking at their youtube he isn't listed as a 'member' so maybe he just appeared in some. He is in the 'bro r*pe' video off the top of my head, and I think in a couple more sprinkled in there.
@@tactiCole_ ahh you're right! so crazy seeing aubrey and ellie in the movie too, hope they all still keep in touch
Really hopes he gets through his rehab successfully. Happy he’s actively seeking help.
wait what
@@luciaiacono2419 right!?
he did! he went home a few days ago
I think maybe op is taking about Pete?
@@RuuDBoY868 no, John relapsed on alcohol, he’s a self described alcoholic that’s why he stopped drinking, he also used to do hard drugs and relapsed on cocaine aswell
I could listen to John Mulaney tell stories for hours, be completely lost, and still enjoy every second of it.
He touches the funny bone in everyone's soul
He’s like if your grandma didn’t get old.
Everyone asks who is john mulany but no one askes hows john mulany😞
But why’s John mulaney
if you breathe ur gay no one asks who
@@max123__ he lijes to john the mulany
But we all know that he’s constantly on the edge of an anxiety attack
I am 14 and this is deep
The John Mulaney documentary we all need right now
love him!
But seriously... what about Timothée Chalamet?
Can John start a cult already, give the people what they want
Laura Roda ~ nice ~
John Mulaney for PRESIDENT!!!!
Me @ young Mulaney: aww that tall child looks terrible.
Anais S. Okay but he’s really working the scruffy beard
@@brenna_boop6341 (it's a reference)
Anais S. I know, I’m simply acknowledging that young Mulaney is rockin a baby beard
@@brenna_boop6341 okay! He is, that is also very off brand. Pre- knowing what his brand was
How dare you that's an Asian woman
3:42 A straight-looking gay man next to a gay-looking straight man
Love them, both!
Fun fact: I went to theatre camp with that straight-looking gay man, back in 1988. That's when and where he was discovered by Mark Medof. I'm so lucky to have had that amazing experience!
Fair.
Amy Felix 😂
Imagine being at a bar and John Mulaney wants to talk to you.
SuppSamanthaa what dreams are made of
and imagine REJECTING HIM
Addicts love me so I sort of can 😂 (said lovingly, he’d think it’s funny)
that picture of john and lorne at the cubs game looks like a divorced dad and his 12 y/o son who's just happy to have his dad's affection
“What about Timothèe Chalamet???”
I love this format. Hearing this “insider” info about SNL is awesome. SNL has a culture all to itself. I remember touring the studio back in the 90s and seeing GE Smith and the band practicing. I have been captivated ever since.
Enjoyed that a lot more than I thought I would. John’s come a long way and his delivery has improved 100x since he started. He may end up being one of the greats.
Excellent points!
Yeah in the older footage he had the vibe of someone still figuring it out. I think he still has anxious energy but he's much better at performing with it and using it.
Already is.
Already is...!
HE IS one of the greats. Comedic genius.
This made me so happy. You rarely hear stories from a writer's perspective, and to hear it from Mulaney is also a plus. This is just what I needed to get through the day❤️
Dimitra Vasileiadou I had no clue who he was when he showed up on the Stefan sketch. Now I’m obsessed with him. His standup, his musical show, his SNL hosting skills. I had no idea about Steve Higgins either for the longest time! They have some real sleepers behind the scenes!!!
From behind the scenes to in front of the camera! Cool
Bro I love you!
John Mulaney deserves his own Talk Show! I'm sure it would be better than Jimmy Fallon.
*"Mulaney for President...."* of NBC!
Literally anyone is better than Jimmy Fallon
I'll second that ONLY if Pete cohosts
Jimmy Fallon is good.
@@zeeshantahir2620
Yes, but John is great & hilarious.
Lemmi Chillmister Jimmy Fallon was on SNL
Lorne must have really liked and respected him
And yet he didn’t invite him on the trip
I love how the picture shown at 6:38 is literally a picture of andy samberg
I love that a writer for the show has moved into the spotlight because he is a comedic genius.
Like Larry David and Conan O’Brien.
I feel like I’ve never really heard his non-comedian voice before until this video. This is like John Mulaney in lowercase
So true. Watch some of his interviews with Sam Jones (search TH-cam for Mulaney Sam Jones) - very relaxed, not so much "ON" and performing. Really nice.
lol it’s weird right? comedians sound so different not performing
TBH this clip gets me emotional. Just love the whole SNL family, whenever I felt depressed, I'd simply click a random SNL sketch, and it can really made my day.
张启予 I love how he admits once you work with them, you always work with them. I love when they bring people back on the show. And I love that Steve Higgins is Jimmy Fallon’s commentator and second comedian. They’re so good together. Same building, similar team, still working together. It’s beautiful!
Higgins is funnier than Fallon.
Assuming you have not yet seen this, I'm gonna link here (and also put the link randomly on a comment section for others who ''seek'' to overcome depression by watching SNL sketches) the documentary about the SNL creating process, that can be entertaining and informative as well, made by James Franco. Honestly, I did not even knew such thing exist, but the insight into the whole process from the time when Seth was a head writer and Higgins was a producer and Hader / Mulaney's chemistry is clearly palpable even before John came up with Stefon e c.t. has made me (for an hour and a half) not to think about the global pandemic and the 2020 daily playlist. If you've already seen it, than I apologize for linking it under your comment from 7 months ago, but if you didn't... I hope it can take your mind off for a while. I hope you are safe and soon to enjoy the behind story telling video of the team back then. th-cam.com/video/Eu3LyygiSJM/w-d-xo.html
“I had a new relationship with time”
“Activia testimonial take 1”
That’s an inside joke
Glad another froob caught this one.
03:00 that is an INCREDIBLE picture!
Okay but did anyone else hear him say “it’s that thing of when...” at 6:15 and think of Stefon
As I watch this, I hope John Mulaney has a healthy recovery from what he is going through so he can come back strong. We need more laughter and inspiration from his work, and it is truly brave and admirable that he voluntarily got the assistance he needed.
BRING ME THE JOHN CONTENT
This has to be one of my favorite videos SNL has uploaded
it’s so cool to hear the behind the scenes of snl. this was adorable and i love how they had all the photos and clips that correspond to the stories.
Alison Chin agreed
Nearly broke my mouse clicking this link
why did this make me kinda,,,, emotional?
8:46 saw the Chadwick Boseman sticky note, what a legend he was, RIP the king 🙏💔
You think that he's subliminally talking to Pete at the end there?
I've followed John Mulaney's career since the first time I saw him on Conan doing the Salt and Pepper Diner bit! It's truly amazing to see how far he's come! Keep at it John boy!
Bwah bwah bwah!!! WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT????
doctor: “you have 10 minutes and 11 seconds left to live”
me:
With every story I hear about Lorne he sounds more like the wise and powerful Phantom of Studio 8H instead of just a mortal.
