John Mulaney fights three teenage boys in finale of live Netflix talk show
Comedian John Mulaney has officially had a fight with three teenage boys on the final of his live Netflix talk show after weeks of teasing. At the end of April, Mulaney suggested that he was going to fight a group of boys on Everybody's Live With John Mulaney in response to the viral question about whether '100 men could beat one gorilla' in a fight. At the time, the 42-year-old said: 'It has prompted a debate in our writers' room about whether three 14-year-old boys could beat me up.' 'Is this legal?', he jokingly asked. 'So far, we think so. It's not assault, we know that. And we're vetting every step of it. I've been led to believe that if it's for TV, it's a lawful practice.' Mulaney said that the fight was going to take place on the season one finale of his show but it remained to be seen whether he was actually going to go through with the contest. In his opening monologue of the latest episode, Mulaney said: 'I will fight three 14-year-olds in a fight to the death, reputationally speaking. We've been hyping this fight all month and the response to all of this hype has been overwhelming.' The episode itself was dubbed 'What is on the mind of teens?' and featured guests Adam Sandler, Sean Penn and comedian Joe Mande, who all recounted stories of their own teenage years. Punk band Sleater-Kinney, featuring comedian and actor Fred Armisen on drums, were the first musical guests, performing a cover of Kim Wilde's 'Kids In America'. When it came to the actual fight, which took place in a wrestling ring and was officiated by a referee, it proved to be a very one-sided affair. The teenage boys, who were dubbed 'Three Truant Teens' and all wore suits and protective head gear, overwhelmed Mulaney by grabbing him by the waist and persistently trying to sweep his legs. Once the boys wrestled Mulaney to the ground, they all piled on top of him, with one of the trio also placing him in a headlock. Within seconds of being grounded Mulaney had no choice but to submit – thus awarding the contest to the teenagers. The show closed out with a performance from hip-hop group Bone Thugs-N-Harmony and a rendition of their song 'Tha Crossroads' while awarding a championship belt to the teenage boys. In April, Mulaney revealed that he was nearly scammed by a fake manager while trying to book the group. ''After a little investigating, I have come to believe that the man I was talking to was not the manager of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. In fact, several sites list a different person,' he said. 'I'm concerned now that I never had any direct contact with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony.' In January, Deadline reported that Mulaney's show was expected to be renewed for a second season although no release date had been confirmed.

Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Perform 1996 Hit ‘Tha Crossroads' on ‘Everybody's Live'
Bone Thugs-N-Harmony made an unexpected return to late-night television this week, appearing on Netflix's Everybody's Live With John Mulaney for a surprise performance of their 1996 hit 'Tha Crossroads.' The group's appearance came months after Mulaney revealed on-air that he had previously tried and failed to book them for the show. In April, the comedian shared that he had been tricked by someone pretending to be the group's manager while trying to arrange a bit involving actor Richard Kind and a pet tortoise. At the time, Mulaney jokingly pleaded with the real members of Bone Thugs to contact him and 'clear this up.'

During the latest episode, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony arrived following a skit in which a trio of 14-year-olds outmatched Mulaney. The group performed their chart-topping single 'Tha Crossroads' and awarded a wrestling belt trophy to the teens after the segment. Upon its release, 'Tha Crossroads' spent eight consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1996. The track, a tribute to the group's late mentor Eazy-E, remains their most commercially successful single to date. It also earned the group a Grammy Award for best rap performance by a duo or group and solidified their legacy as pioneers of melodic rap in the 1990s. The performance featured four members of the group, with Krayzie Bone, Layzie Bone, Bizzy Bone, and Wish Bone all taking the stage. Flesh-N-Bone was not present for the taping. Their appearance follows the release of 'Aww Shit' in April, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's first new single in nearly 15 years. The track features all five founding members and serves as the lead single from a forthcoming full-length album, according to Greenback Records. The group has also confirmed a run of live dates for summer 2025, including a slot at the Roots Picnic's Class of '95 at the Hollywood Bowl and appearances as part of the Kings of the West festival series. The Cleveland group has charted 10 songs on the Hot 100, including '1st of tha Month' (No. 14), 'Look into My Eyes' (No. 4), and 'If I Could Teach the World' (No. 20). Their 1995 album E. 1999 Eternal spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and has since been certified quadruple platinum.

John Mulaney actually fought three teens on TV — and lost
Comedian John Mulaney followed through on his absurd promise to fight three teenage boys during the finale of his variety-style talk show Everybody's Live With John Mulaney, as originally reported by Bethy Squires for Vulture. Known for blending sketch comedy and satire, the show's outlandish premise culminated in a staged brawl that delighted fans and viewers alike. After weeks of buildup and mock promotional hype, the fight took place on-air around 8:04 p.m. PST. Mulaney, suited up and ready, squared off against three teen boys in coordinated attacks. The teens used clever tactics — one repeatedly attempted to trip him — and eventually overpowered the comedian. As Mulaney tapped out, the crowd cheered and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony performed 'Tha Crossroads,' marking the teens' hilarious victory. Celebrity guests including Joe Mande, Adam Sandler, Sean Penn, Richard Kind, and Saymo looked on from the sidelines as the chaos unfolded. One of the show's writers even brought a babysitter to witness the spectacle. Despite being a father of two, Mulaney didn't hold back — but the combined energy of the teenagers proved too much. The surreal ending to Everybody's Live, which has blended offbeat stunts with musical numbers and sketch humor, was both comedic and bizarre. While there's no official word yet on the show's renewal, fans are already calling the finale one of the wildest moments in late-night comedy this year. If this truly was the series finale, it's a memorable sendoff — a ridiculous, joyful punchline to Mulaney's unconventional talk show experiment.

The mom of two went on to say that even though she tried her "absolute best," the day will now live in "infamy." "This Easter Monday will live in infamy in my memory as the day I tried my absolute best, got us home without another tantrum and learned that the rubber padding on toddler socks can only take so much," Munn wrote. "Cheers to anyone else who went through this today or any other day. You have my utmost respect. 🫡." Read the original article on People

Rita Moreno canceled her appearance on John Mulaney's Netflix show. Here's why
Actress Rita Moreno canceled her scheduled appearance on John Mulaney's Netflix talk show at the last minute because she couldn't make it out of her Berkeley home. During the Wednesday, April 23, episode of ' Everybody's Live With John Mulaney,' the actor and comedian explained that the 93-year-old Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony-winning legend 'cannot be here tonight.' 'We hope she's doing OK,' Mulaney said. 'Rita, if you're watching — I don't know why you would be — but we hope you're doing great, and we're excited to see you on another episode soon.' A representative for Moreno told Entertainment Weekly the next day that Moreno was experiencing vertigo, a temporary episode of dizziness or disorientation. 'Happy to report nothing serious,' the representative said in a statement. 'Rita came down with a bout of vertigo on Tuesday. And because she lives in Berkeley, CA, she couldn't get on a plane down to LA.' Moreno's representative added, 'She is bummed. We heard today she's on the mend.' Mulaney's fellow 'Saturday Night Live' alum Tina Fey became the last-minute substitute for Moreno. 'Have you ever filled in for Rita Moreno before?' Mulaney asked Fey. 'Once, in the movie 'West Side Story,' but it goes by so quickly you can't even tell it's me,' Fey joked, referring to Moreno's star turn as Anita in the 1961 musical film. Comedian Conan O'Brien and actress Ayo Edebiri also were on Wednesday's show. Moreno, a longtime Berkeley resident, has been experiencing a career resurgence since co-starring in Steven Spielberg's ' West Side Story ' (2021), a remake of the Academy Award-winning original that earned her a best supporting actress Oscar. She has since appeared in the surprise hit ' 80 for Brady ' alongside Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, and Sally Field and had a recurring role in the sitcom 'Lopez vs Lopez' starring George Lopez. She also was profiled in the documentary ' Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go for It ' (2021) and she was honored with a Barbie doll in her likeness last year. Moreno won a Tony Award for best featured actress in a play for 'The Ritz' in 1975; a Grammy for best recording for children for 'The Electric Company' in 1973; and an Emmy for outstanding continuing or single performance by a supporting actress in variety or music for an episode of 'The Muppet Show' in 1977, making her one of the handful of performers to achieve an EGOT, the grand slam of performing.
