Remember when John's wife said walking around with him is like walking around with someone who's running for Mayor of Nothing because he's so overly polite to everyone? Glad he's finally getting specific.

[kiki]

So proud of an Asian American woman pursuing her dreams in politics

[ungracefulg]

the opposition commercial is just "john mulaney saw his friend get pushed and he did nothing. how is he better than a nazi?"

[InSaNoDaCloWn]

I could not imagine how epic John would br in a political debate.

[idekhaha]

I can see the headlines now: “tall Asian American woman with feminine hips wins the New York mayoral race”

[mygetawayart]

"I ...have a page of DeBlasio jokes..."
*Do 'em*

[Jane-swff]

imagine if he won. Mayor Mulaney.
"First we will ban all horses from hospitals."

[olihhayes]

"You can do that. I'm not gonna put quotes, I'll say he said something like"
John Mulaney, English Major

[NewMessage]

"Tall Child Wins NYC Mayoral Race" is a headline we need.

[FortunaFavored]

This is not an interview. This is a set with bits of encouragement.

[harveyholmes]

He’s desperately trying to make his greatest fear of being assassinated come true

[peihsinlu]

His wife: you're running for mayor of nothing.
John: ...I'm starting with New York.

[yakisobadreams]

The more I learn about NY, the more I'm intrigued by it. So people hate everything about it but also love it?

[SuperBC]

"It looks like an event the Joker would crash into."
"It's like the zoo, but they're dead."
"It's a museum of animal bodies and what they would look like next to fake trees and stuff."
John Mulaney has a way of describing things like a benefit he did at the Natural History Musem in such a vividly funny manner. I can't wait for his appearance on SNL this week.

[bobidou]

I'm genuinely not joking, I'm an obsessive on urban planning (huge environmental and health impacts, people!) and this guy has thought about street design more than most politicians

[kacytron]

I think jimmy Fallon is realizing he’s interviewing who someone who might take his job

[tassymccormick]

This Mulaney guy should try stand up. He’s pretty funny.

[macattack]

I, a simple dummy, endorse John Mulaney for mayor of New York

[slowtowners]

John has too many controversies. He killed princess diana for Christ sakes!

[ArtemisScribe]

Remember before the last election how John was like "I could never run for office unless a bunch of people suddenly got real cool about a bunch of stuff real quick!"? Looks like people got cool about stuff after all!
