Description

The most shocking thing about 'Mulaney,' John Mulaney's short-lived sitcom on Fox? That the comedian actually liked it. A victim of a comedy style gone bygone, 'Mulaney' didn't quite past muster when its first pilot failed at NBC, only for the series to go up in flames in just 13 episodes on Fox. So how did it happen? How did comedy's most beloved and relevant stars tank so badly with an unexpectedly dated approach to sitcoms? It was a question Allison and Kate needed to answer, so they dove right into the story and history of 'Mulaney.'Listen to the new episode below, in which Allison and Kate discover the book that inspired 'Mulaney,' Mulaney's inability to describe the series he was making, and his surprising reaction to the show's failure. Plus: the 'Seinfeld' of it all, and an exploration of that damned laugh track.
