John Mulaney's talk show, "Everybody's Live," just ended on Netflix.
It was an mitigated disaster.
He made a joke about the murder of a healthcare executive and used the slut 'wop' for alleged killer Luigi Mangione.
The show featured a random selection of celebrities -- Michael Keaton, Joan Baez, Fred Armisen, and a female financial advice columnist. They were all of them more lost than a panel on the old Joe Franklin Show.
The theme for some reason was finances and lending money to friends, hence the columnist. It made no sense whatsoever, was forced, and the celebrities seems clueless.
To make matters worse, Tracy Morgan appeared -- stoned out of his gourd- and made no sense at all.
Richard Kind, always a welcome sight, played the side kick.
They might as well have made an episode of "Fernwood Tonight."
To waste 80 year old Baez on this crap should result in arrests. She was very gracious as she responded to pointless questioning.
Keaton must be horrified.
There was also a sketch in which Mulaney interviewed a bunch of actors -- including Christopher Lloyd -- dressed as the character Willy Loman -- who they'd played on stage once -- from "Death of a Salesman." Arthur Miller is rolling in his grave.
