John Mulaney Never Thought He Should Be an SNL Cast Member- Late Night with Seth Meyers

Late Night with Seth Meyers

[MelissaNgai]

The trenchcoat is such a bold move. This 38 year old Asian American woman is really upping her style game for real wow

[Abdullahxvii]

What I like about this form is that it's as if seth and John are just talking and hanging out like old friends

[TheKingsPride]

I like this Seth Meyers John Mulaney podcast, I would like more.

[ekko]

I like how John Mulaney is either 1930s carnival barker that tells jokes or 1980s cool guy that is dating both of your daughters.

[gaston]

When he put those glasses on he fully transformed into Rick Astley

[lillianward]

He looks like he’s multiple kids in a trench coat.

[shaileekoranne]

He’s wearing Julian Casablancas’ coat like a girl in a new relationship who stole her boyfriend’s hoodie and I am living for it

[mo-hammadabunaser]

John's enthusiasm about a jacket and sunglasses is what I need today.. great comedian that is funny even without laugh tracks and an audience

[SidPhoenix]

If he zips up the jacket, I'd wonder if John Mulaney was actually two kids standing on top of each other, pretending to be a tall man.

[FlyingOverTrut]

I actually prefer listening to a conversation without an audience. I like that the energy is more subdued (it feels more real) and they don't have to play to an audience.

[itdano]

With the sunglasses, he looks like he's getting ready to profess his love to Molly Ringwald on prom night.

[emeraldeimear]

Anyone else feel that alot of SNL alum just love coming to Seth's show and talk about their memories, I think it's so nice

[withalittlehelpfrom]

*Stefon voice* This outfit answers the question, “What would John Mulaney look like as Vincent Adultman from Bojack Horseman?”

[h.thumbsthomas]

In all fairness him saying he's 38 made me go "What???". I remember his joke years ago about being a healthy 28 year old man trying his best. Lol

[anrina]

I never got into The Strokes but it's so refreshing to hear how cool Julian Casablancas was by giving John two jackets and sunglasses! And how happy it made John Mulaney because John deserves all the happiness. ❤️

[makiburgess]

With the jacket he looks like he needs to hold a boom box over his head in the front yard of the girl he is stalking.

[aurares]

His interactions with Julian Casablancas appear to be the polar opposite of his interaction with Mick Jagger

[KB_-_]

On New Girl when Nick finds a trench coat and it makes him feel so good, I thought that’s adorable but let’s be honest - not realistic
.... enter John Mulaney

[RangerStrangerDanger]

"if more people were like Will Forte, they would put an end to it." is such a funny thought

[lucybee]

having john on seth again is exactly what i need right now.
