I'm just really glad John Mulaney is still alive.

Jimmy sympathising with OJ's state of mind and then calling himself out - GOLD

[LexWick]

OJ joke was the best line I've heard Kimmel drop in years...such a good observation. Instant classic

[jostrong]

There is nothing better than seeing Jimmy's genuine laugh. John's too. These two together is gold.

[nannerz]

I never realized how much John has taught us about his dad throughout all his specials. I think my favorite is "GOD CANT HEAR YOU!"

[notsure]

That McDonald's story is the most dad thing I have ever heard.

John Mulaney is a gem.

[b-dub]

Loved this. You can tell they’re close friends. Thank God Jimmy was there for John when he needed it most!!

[rooneytoons]

For a second there after the OJ joke, Kimmel was in genuine fear for his life

[sirsmokeefortwence]

Kimmel has actually been kinda killing it lately.

[foulchild]

That's a friendship of absolute love and respect. It's great to see.

[sehkra]

John never fails to make me laugh. Wish him all the best with everything

"He didnt know how to hit and I didnt know how to receive it" 😭

[lkc]

I love how comedians make each other laugh. They love to laugh.

[iNFINITENIX]

The fact that Kimmel was the kind of guy that let Mulaney stay at his guest house or whatever really says something about him.

[michaelallen]

"I can relate to what OJ did more than I can relate to that" has to be the funniest off-the-cuff comment I've ever heard a late night host say 😂

[jmoretz]

This was a great interview to watch for many reasons. 1. I've been a huge fan of John Mulaney for many years, and I'm happy to see him doing well after the years of substance abuse. 2. The chemistry between John and Jimmy is awesome, because they're both funny and so quick on their feet, but also you can see the friendship and genuine conversation interest. 3. Some of the jokes and quips in this interview were absolutely amazing. John always makes me laugh.

[GenRN]

I hope Olivia Munn is healing well from her breast cancer surgery and treatment. Love JM. So happy he is sober.

[Silvergirl]

Seeing John so happy and genuinely laughing makes me smile!!

John's new look is 1980s synth rock band frontman.
