This show is gold. It’s so amazing to hear writers/performers of this profound caliber just conversing in a way where we “mere mortals” can see the insecurities, challenges, and fears they deal with when honing their craft. It doesn’t minimize their gifts, it enhances them knowing how hard they work against these difficulties and the tenacity they must have to keep going. The art form of comedy is one of the hardest of all because like all artists, the greatest comedians are exposing profound vulnerability and have to steel themselves against the criticism that inevitably comes from all over. Being great isn’t a magic trick - is all about overcoming and never giving up. Love this show.
Mulaney struggling to explain that he was depressed/thought about death 💔 Mental health issues, which often leads to substance abuse, is nothing to be ashamed of. Thanks Dana for digging into the issues and getting serious about it for a few minutes!
Another home run interview ! I love that they are so long .. honest most podcasts over about 45 min normally get boring or loose my interest but not David and Dana ! It’s great that the discourse brings up so much I did not know not just about the guests but about you both as well ! It does not hurt that SNL was always a big part of my life . Thanks again for this podcast it’s really great 💜
Please don't add video. Audio only allows me to picture Dana and David 20 years younger in my mind's eye. That suspension of reality allows me to ignore my own mortality
Like duh. I guess they're hiding that's this is done via Zoom perhaps. If you listen closely you can hear the difference between Mulaney's audio has a lil reverb/echo and is distinct from Dana's & Davey's full, studio crispy sound. That's my guess anyway, IDK for sure. Love you guys and appreciate all the love thru laughter that you give to this world. XOXO • TakeXare 💋🙏
John Mulaney has grown so much through the past couple years that he is actually transformed. He looks like a grown up, he acts more connected, and I like him so much more now. We are blessed that he has chosen sobriety because he is funnier, more creative, and more interesting. His smartness is showing through and we are getting to see his maturity. And he is with someone who is incenting him to be his best intellectual self rather than someone with whom he directs himself to the naughty chair. I’m the future, always choose people who make you want to bring your A game and not someone that you need to hide and go be naughty..
Dana and David, thank you for making these. I just absolutely love them and it's entirely to do with your hilarity and presence with the guests. Please don't ever stop, thank you both!
Whether behind the scenes at SNL or on stage alone as a stand up, Mulaney is as talented and hard working as they come. I understood what he meant about not knowing whether he was going to be able to return to the stage. Relapses feel like al of a sudden someone has thrown you back in jail and threw away the key...that is what falling back into addiction is like. he was lucky to get out of it and get help again, it's definitely a progressive disease and get worse and more deadly with age. Also surprised, not surprised ...There are a lot of comments here that are pretty whack and inappropriate. These people are obviously starving for a reaction, best just to ignore. One thing that was said in comments that i do agree with is the video part. You guys and ur guests are comics that are physically funny, we wanna see that. Live or taped in studio would be the best, but i'll certainly take zoom screens over no visual....ya'll would immediately triple ur following overnight.....thanks Good stuff peace.
I love listening to this podcast. I'm a writer who focuses most on my poetry, but I'm trying to write more and more little freelance things for websites and marketing firms and maybe even do some corporate communications and stuff. Sounds completely unrelated, but hearing all of these people talk about their work is really inspiring, and keeps my fire burning. Another similar is the Kevin Pollak Chat Show.
I still can't believe Baby J was an hour and twenty minutes but it felt like half-an-hour. Just a testament to how good John is at keeping you in a story.
Oh my God. Its David Spade and Dana Carvey. I was saying and cleaning my house this morning LOVING THE MASCULINE VOICES Or its Saturday here may 27. I pretend I worked all week I'm 67. I saw Johns face. Now sitting here finally. A writer. Who doesn't care if you know me. Life is hard enough. Super Video. Best of luck. 😊😊😅😊😊😊comedy 101 I used to be 34. I feel 34.
I searched "fly on the mulaney" to get here... This is the first time I've ever heard of the show "Best Week Ever." Ever. "When you're a drug addict, you're with the person who has tried to destroy you... all the time." - J. Mulaney
I love how they begin the podcast talking about how Mulaney has the ability to extrapolate stories and the minute Dana tells the Juan Corona/Mickey Rooney yarn - Mulaney immediately starts adding depth to it, Spade chimes in at end - if Dana was smart - he would have a new piece for his act.
I love Dana, one of my favorite snl cast members, but every time I start one of these….for the first few minutes I hear Dennis Miller. Love this podcast. Keep up the great work, Dana and David!!
This guy and Chevy Chase were THE ONLY GUESTS that were FUNNIER than the two resident DJs. Bow down before their awesomeness boys. Okay, Bill Hader and Adam Sandler were PRETTY CLOSE. What is funny, is funny. Day or night funny is funny. And it can't help itself. Can't help being funny. Like Dana.
This is a great show. I listen to one daily during work. Glad to hear all of these guys with behind the scenes stories. My one small complaint is that the guest is usually too far from their Mic giving too much ambient sound. And this week, half way through the show Dana seems to be far from his Mic as well.
This entire episode is fascinating on dozens of levels. I'm a huge fan of all 3 of them. However, I'm intrigued by the silent agreement that John Mulaney now only gets continuous softball questions in every interview. I assume a bunch of things are "off limits" (which is kind of farcical because it's obviousness makes it worse) but, is it because he is now seen as fragile as a Faberge egg? Is a comedian suddenly untouchable because he had a baby? I'm truly curious. Mulaney didn't have to deal with "social media backlash" because he went to rehab, it's because it came off that he dumped his wife that he spent almost a decade praising. He must know on some level that is the real "issue" some of his previous fans had. Either way, great episode, guys! David Spade - you're the BEST!
I dont think he's untouchable but he clearly doesnt want to talk about his marriage ending (for now) and has people that will interview him and not press that issue. Honestly its kind of uncommon for people in the industry to not address the elephant in the room/ what fans want them to address that it is a bit jarring lol I think people were expecting the usual headline of him finally breaking his silence a long time ago but he managed to go over a year without really addressing it. At the end of the day no matter how much he talked about his wife before we're not actually owed an explanation. Fans he lost over it r lost ,fan he kept he kept. It is what is at this point.
@slayerduval1 ... Yeah. Also bizarre how they complain about people passing judgement on their parenting choices on instagram. Celebrities posting photos of their children on the public social media accounts they use to promote themselves, sell tickets, sell product is quite disturbing already. Then complaining on people commenting below the pix is quite puzzling.
He didn’t dump his wife or cheat on her . He moved relatively fast , yes , but that his Business . They were separated and in the process of finalizing their divorce long before he went rehab. It’s why she was not in his intervention. And to say this “ his wife that he spent almost a decade praising” as if it’s a bad thing is weird! Ofc he was saying nice things about her, they were married and loved each other. Relationships end, it’s doesn’t mean ppl past feelings were not true ! Both him and his ex had their own issues and probably it’s heather for both of them to be apart . He struggled with addiction and mental health issues and she spoke about having an eating disorder and self harm . It easy to judge others but life isn’t black and white it’s complicated and that doesn’t make ppl bad .
I've seen tiny clips of video footage from your podcast, which begs the question: are YT viewers not good enough for the full video footage of these podcast interviews? Signed, A Lowly YT Peasant PS- Just kidding! Love these pods and all you do, Dana and Dave! Finally getting to the Mulaney pod/interview, and I'm diggin' it, dudes! BUT I also love yer faces and really would love to see these interviews as well as hear them simultaneously. I'm just sayin' ... just sayin'...
Question to John and anyone in the comments about “not trusting the person in charge (of himself, alone).” When did you first lose trust in your mom and/or dad to run the family?
By the way. Producer receiving or buying productions is rampant. It's been done in music history. Big time I gave away tons. Dads friends showrunners just fooled by my parents continually I knew though. God bless. Mom was non stop baby making. It's phenomenal.
This would be tolerable if there was a video component, but I'm too spoiled at this point to sit through 2 hours of audio from 3 guys who can clearly afford a fucking camera and an editor
😅 at 50:00. Now I'm doing Dave. Impromptu after a break "So John ..is it John??" I remember meeting John in Tampa Florida he was 11. My dad vinnycatalano 🎵. Dad was appointed talent seeker. Ha! Rip Dad my Dad. Really riding my coattails. Don't worry I'm the inside legend. I'd write the book or three books ... Write since I'm 4or seven for sure. Record labels love free content dad took first sales. NYC. Greatest bands I sang wrote where dad noted my productions and onto the 70's. 80's 90's. I made up creators giving other somewhat know writers cred. I couldn't stand Dad ...Sleeping around as my parents did was nuts. A book yes. Changing names. It's depressing.
You know John, when you get older, many people lose the highest parts of their hearing. What that means is you can’t hear mosquitoes anymore. Never again will you have to chase down an elusive flying pest as you’re trying to sleep!
I have a question: Without having been on SNL, how does one build a subscriber following for a TH-cam channel? That being asked, could I get a five minute interview with either of you for my channel? I would love to hear your views on the current state of affairs. .. you said ask you anything. Namaste Zachariah Lone Star Liberal
Answer: not like this☝hey. good luck out there, kid. Btw It would probably help if you were a little kid. Like a kid but with a different name- one that wasn't 4 words and 3 problems. You've got more syllables than a Starbucks order.
Ummm. John. It can last forever. For a handful anyway. Dave Chappelle. Chris Rock. You now. @taylortomalson has joined the ranks.. Kinda sounds like you may be unaware lol. Thought maybe someone should prewarn you. 🤷♀️😏

This one made me tear up.
David Spade and Dana Carvey are a great mix for this podcasts. Selfishly, I'd love to see them on youtube. Mulaney, as always, is always great!
Great show! I absolutely love John, he’s one of the best.❤
Correction...the best. At least for me. He checks all my boxes for what's funny
In the most loving way I correct..please note
Another home run interview ! I love that they are so long .. honest most podcasts over about 45 min normally get boring or loose my interest but not David and Dana !

Guys, please add a video camera. It feels weird without one. Love the show!
I know! I’ve skipped all their other shows because I hate just listening like radio. Ugh
Please don't add video. Audio only allows me to picture Dana and David 20 years younger in my mind's eye. That suspension of reality allows me to ignore my own mortality
Gross. Hopefully they don’t take that advice. This isn’t a visual gags show.
Like duh. I guess they're hiding that's this is done via Zoom perhaps.

Not gonna do it
You’re all innately hilarious. ❤️ Never underestimate the power of comedy. Thank you for making us all laugh!
All three of these guys have brought light to an often too dark world.
Thanks for everything.
"Like Ive always said, babies love Phil Spector" made me belly laugh :D
Three of my favorite people to listen to!... I just love Dana's laugh :)

Great interview! As always you guys were all terrific. ❤️❤️❤️.
Thanks John for your sincere honesty…I know it wasn’t easy discussing your past.
Mickey, with his hand on his revolver walking around NYC - “they’re not gonna get me” gets me EVERY time
Mulaney comes in at 5:11
They need to reign in the intros.
Thanks, don’t care about Dana or his hair
Good show! 😁 Love the Casey Kasem bits, et al.

I used to be 34. I feel 34.
I can't imagine Mulaney NOT being a performer. I thought he did great all times he hosted. And he and Nick Kroll just killed it in Oh Hello.
Right? 4 years of just writing on SNL
John is a treasure.
I would love to interview you for my TH-cam channel. If you are the Samantha Bee that sucked elbows on my favorite show that one time.
What’s nice is that all three were hosts.
John Mulaney pulled me through my depression woot!!! woot!!! damn i love you John Mulaney forever
Love you guys thank you for all the laughs. Keep it coming.
I love the juke box and walking to catch the train bits. I died laughing and i watched them over and over
I searched "fly on the mulaney" to get here...
This is the first time I've ever heard of the show "Best Week Ever." Ever.

Love the interview ❤. Wishing you the best, Mr. Mulaney 🌈.

I don’t am I am not a❤fan of 😂 😂😂😂 I
Maybe it's time for Miss Wiig?
To get those ratings through the roof.
(and please make her do Bjork for five minutes straight).
Why is this audio only when the other podcasts are on video? Even the separate promos for these podcasts are video.
I love Dana, one of my favorite snl cast members, but every time I start one of these….for the first few minutes I hear Dennis Miller.
Love this podcast. Keep up the great work, Dana and David!!

Kasey kasem bit was hysterical
Dana & Bill Hader did a skit on Casey Kasim p
I like how John Mulaney shit them up when he was talking
Your show is great but I’d love to see you guys on camera!
Spade’s impressions are spot on! Why’d he wait till now to reveal this talent?
at 50:20 or so, he has a great attitude towards his current success
This is a great show. I listen to one daily during work. Glad to hear all of these guys with behind the scenes stories. My one small complaint is that the guest is usually too far from their Mic giving too much ambient sound. And this week, half way through the show Dana seems to be far from his Mic as well.
I know exactly how John was feeling and its a little song by the eagles called hotel California

I bet if I went to a carrot top show id just admit defeat and spray my hair orange
Tragically lost in this podcast, how good David Spade's Casey Kassim was.
Question to John and anyone in the comments about “not trusting the person in charge (of himself, alone).” When did you first lose trust in your mom and/or dad to run the family?
And how did you try to adapt in-order-to-survive from in the very next moment?
57:08 1:02:39
The echo on John's mic was harsh
The thing about the mosquitoes is the ones that make a noise do not bite, they're not part of the food chain
You guys are so damn funny! Love you💖
I had Covid and missed Mulaney😢
Funniest moment in the whole podcast is the quote from Neal Brennan. 🤭
What did he say? Listening bores me. Wish it was video. Love Neal
A sports style show assessment would be a funny bit
I never really had that much home town pride, but mulaney makes me like chicago a little more.
By the way. Producer receiving or buying productions is rampant. It's been done in music history. Big time I gave away tons. Dads friends showrunners just fooled by my parents continually I knew though. God bless. Mom was non stop baby making. It's phenomenal.
I want to see a Master of Disguise meets Joe Dirt movie!!!
5:10. 18:03. 43:47. 47:13. 58:43
Why did Dana step back from the mic for a while??
I believe he was seriously ill.
Somebody needs to address the pure hilarity that was when Schneider spoke in his gruffiest voice: “April!” in the movie ‘The Hot Chick’.
Chick McGee? That's really specific!
re the promo writing - now I want to know who wrote Barkley’s when he was next to Nirvana
I enjoyed when Bill Burr hosted. Then John Mulaney hosted, and it was epic.
SAVE UP!
This would be tolerable if there was a video component, but I'm too spoiled at this point to sit through 2 hours of audio from 3 guys who can clearly afford a fucking camera and an editor

Does Jon Lovitz get a royalty everytime Mulaney talks?
Doesn't it sound like Television's Dana Carvey hasn't even bothered to look at some people's Wikipedia pages? Or done comedy, like, at all?
Don Nuts.
omgosh David thats a killer from Lorne
FACT: David Spade does not like John Mulaney.
Really? Why?
Cause you are good friends with both Right?
@@brucecoleman4228 all three attended tom’s wedding and it ruined the entire evening
The hostility coming from Spade towards Mulaney was hard to miss.
"spreads misinformation"

TOW-sled hair??? wtf is that?
Mulaney is the least funny comedian ever.
I'm with Eddie Murphy, not a fan of Mr. Spade
who asked?
@@superxnatrl1941 oh, I thought you did, you didn't??? GD, I'm wrong again! :(
Watch Tommy Boy and Black Sheep starring Chris Farley and David Spade. Also, watch Joe Dirt during the summer.
Dana Carvey - impressions = 0
Watch Opportunity Knocks and Clean Slate movies.
ugh Dana Carvey was funny 20 years ago now all he does is ask the dumbest BS questions and steps on Spade and guests funny moments.
I don't get it. You know you don't like Dana and yet here you are listening. Or do you just come in long enough to crap on him?
You're not a smart person, are you?
Easily the unfunniest man alive.
Ummm. John. It can last forever. For a handful anyway. Dave Chappelle. Chris Rock. You now. @taylortomalson has joined the ranks.. Kinda sounds like you may be unaware lol. Thought maybe someone should prewarn you. 🤷♀️😏
