Part of standup is being loose and having a good time yourself and that translates to the audience.

I was just trying to blend the standup that I do almost with like the visual sketch stuff that I did on "Saturday Night Live." And so in terms of how elastic in the world is, we'll see what we can get away with [in John Mulaney show].

People having expectations maybe means they've enjoyed what I've done.

I do longer runs on things, a lot stories. I really like one-liners, I like a lot of different kinds of standup but I've always been long-winded.

With the first episode [of John Mulaney Show] I tell a story that happened to me accidentally chasing a woman down the subway.

I like when things are crazy. Something good comes out of exhaustion.

Everyone's very relaxed about brand names in television.
