John Mulaney

An Emmy-winning TV writer and a comedic actor, John Mulaney is best known as a standup comedian. Usually performing clean-cut and wearing a suit, his confident, deadpan delivery is at odds with his observational humor, which pokes fun at everyday absurdities as well as his own behaviors and often misplaced anxieties. After making his Comedy Central Records debut in 2009 with The Top Part, he built his reputation as a television writer, including writing for Saturday Night Live for four seasons beginning that same year. He topped the Billboard comedy chart in 2012 with the standup album New in Town before starring in his own sitcom, Mulaney (2014-2015). In 2018, he returned to SNL, but as host. He won the Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special for 2018's Kid Gorgeous at Radio City, an award he won again for 2023's Baby J, his fifth standup special. With his unique balance of showman's charm and self-depreciation intact, the latter was a darker, storytelling-oriented show that detailed his experiences with an intervention and stint in rehab.
