Men's Health: John Mulaney Success Tips →
“You can do good work simply staying up all night and eating nothing but junk food, but probably not in the long term. I think Saturday Night Live has probably taught us that. So I have a trainer now and I work out twice a week with her. That’s right, I said ‘her.’ I couldn’t handle the shame of working out in front of another man. I can’t lift a kettlebell. But sitting on your butt writing...

1. He co-writes “Stefon,” Bill Hader’s club-loving New York City correspondent on “SNL’s “Weekend Update.”

Slate.com: Questions for John Mulaney →
Slate: I noticed that in New in Town, a lot of the humor is based around your fears—of teenagers, of random homeless guys pushing you in the street, of driving. Do you work through your anxiety in your performance?
John Mulaney: I had a bunch of jokes that aren’t on [New in Town] about how afraid I am of possums. I did those in Australia, where they have lots and lots and lots of possums,...

A.V. Club gives 'New In Town' an A- →

New York Times - The Big Profile: John Mulaney →
You don’t necessarily fulfill people’s mental stereotype of comedy writers.
Sometimes I think people forget what they look like. I have a different picture of what I look like in my head. I look a little more mature and a little more ragged. Then I look at the mirror and I’m like, Oh, look at that nice, happy boy.
