Networks' reasoning for passing on various pilots... →

ducktastic: TV Club’s Todd VanDerWerff gets right to the problem with NBC here. NBC passed on Mulaney because though it was liked by “comedy geeks,” NBC executives didn’t like it. Why? Well, EW suggests because NBC is going for a “family theme” in its comedies and “moving away from smarter-narrower-snarkier titles.” This despite the fact that that worked so well for the network last fall. Then...

Why NBC Will Regret Not Picking Up 'Mulaney' |... →

Despite his young age, Mulaney would have sat comfortably alongside Amy Poehler and Joel McHale on the network’s primetime roster. In the years to come, people will still be talking and writing about Mulaney, and the network will regret it if he’s no longer “NBC’s John Mulaney.”

NBC Passes on 'Mulaney' | Splitsider →

Following a flurry of sitcom cancellations, NBC has opted not to pick up the pilot for SNL writer/stand-up John Mulaney’s new sitcom Mulaney. An ensemble multi-camera show staring Mulaney, Martin Short, Elliott Gould, SNL’s Nasim Pedrad, and stand-ups Griffin Newman and Seaton Smith and executive produced by Lorne Michaels, Mulaney seems like a slam-dunk on paper. I attended the...

John Mulaney's Pilot Taping Was Last Night, and It... →

A taping for John Mulaney’s NBC sitcom pilot Mulaney was held in Los Angeles last night, and it turned out very funny thanks to a talented cast and a tight, joke-packed script. I was in the live studio audience for the taping, and, while I can’t share any details or spoilers about the pilot, I can say that the taping went well and NBC would be crazy not to pick it up for the fall.

Seaton Smith cast in NBC’s John Mulaney project →

Comedian Seaton Smith has joined the cast of an NBC comedy pilot from John Mulaney. Mulaney also writes and stars in the young ensemble focused on John (Mulaney), whose naïve and often pointless, desire to “be a good person” challenges his friendship with his roommates, Jane (Nasim Pedrad) and Seymour (Griffin Newman). With no real compass in life, John takes advice from his game-show host...

Can you tell me anything about the concept? Well, uh, I’m bad at describing it. I do have another project I want to do, which is a winter game show called “What Time Is It?” where you look out the window and try to guess what time it is and you’re like, “Oh, it’s probably midnight,” but it’s always 5 p.m. That’s really my passion project right now. And then the sitcom is just kind of about my...
