#33: John Mulaney - “New In Town”

Posted in Interview by channelzero on February 15th, 2012
Writer, standup comedian, and performer John Mulaney has been writing for "Saturday Night Live" for years and Tina Fey name-checked him in her best-seller, Bossypants. He's a prolific creator and his newest special, an hour of standup on Comedy Central called "New In Town," aired at the end of January and was released a week later on DVD/iTunes. I talked with John a week before the premiere about how he put the show together as well as how some of the bits originated. He's a very funny guy so I hope you look for it to be repeated on Comedy Central or check out the DVD. The guy's brilliant and I hope to see more of him this year.
