John Mulaney Vows to Fight Three 14-Year-Old Boys on ‘Everybody's Live'
John Mulaney has issued a challenge to the teen boys of America. The Everybody's Live host announced last night that he would fight three 14-year-old boys for the forthcoming finale of the Netflix series. At the end of the most recent episode Mulaney said he was inspired by the online discourse about whether 100 men could successfully fight one gorilla. More from Rolling Stone 'Everybody's Live' Reimagines Phish as 'Seinfeld' in Bizarre Sketch Brett Favre's Football Glory Masks Myriad Scandals in New 'Untold' Trailer John Oliver Slams RFK Jr.: 'Clearly in Way Over His Worm-Riddled Head' 'It has prompted a debate in our writers room about whether three 14-year-old boys could beat up me, John Mulaney,' he explained to the audience. 'So on our final episode of the season, May 28, the theme will be Teen Night. We will be talking about many teen issues and I, John Mulaney, will square off in a very real fight against three 14-year-old boys.' He continued, 'Is this legal? 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 clarified that it won't be a 'fun, funny fight.' 'It's going to be me fighting these children and them fighting me as hard as we can,' he confirmed. He then put a call out to participants. 'If you or anyone you know has access to a 14-year-old boy who is willing to fight me, John Mulaney, and might need to get something out of his system, please have their parent or guardian, not the minor, contact us.' Anyone who wants to be part of the fight can send an email to iwanttofightjohnmulaney@ Per Netflix's legal team, anyone signing up to fight Mulaney should be a U.S. citizen (although the host claimed he is 'opening this up to the entire world'). 'Good luck boys, good luck me, good luck Netflix legal,' he concluded. Everybody's Live With John Mulaney airs live on Netflix on Wednesday nights. The show's 12-week first season has been appropriately eclectic and has featured several notable musical performances, including the reunion of Metz and a collaborative appearance by Kim Gordon and Kim Deal. Mulaney told Rolling Stone of the evolution of his talk show, which followed Everybody's in L.A, a six-episode live series that ran last spring, 'I'm very committed to diving into irrelevance, never being relevant. This ties into a few things: recklessness, overplanning, and taking calls. A lot of stuff we did in the first six, we'll continue.' He added of his desire to try new things (like fight teen boys), 'A bored John Mulaney is a dangerous thing. It's more the curiosity of it and a very childish, 'But I already did that.' Not always the most prudent motivation. My son says that, actually — 'We already did that.' 'I thought maybe you'd want to go back.' 'No, we already went there. Find another indoor gymnasium.''

Bill Hader fired from theater job after spoiling Titanic ending to sorority group
Before becoming an Emmy-winning actor and Saturday Night Live standout, Bill Hader once worked at a movie theater—until he was fired for spoiling Titanic in an act of petty revenge. During his appearance on Netflix's Everybody's Live With John Mulaney, Hader recounted the moment that led to his dismissal. According to Hader, a sorority had booked a private showing of Titanic before its official release. As they gathered at the entrance, he asked them to move so others could pass through. Instead of cooperating, they mocked his appearance, comparing him to Charles Manson. 'I had a bowtie and cummerbund on, and they just made fun of me,' Hader said. Frustrated, Hader decided to spoil the movie's ending as he tore their tickets. 'I said, 'Enjoy the movie. The boat sinks at the end. Leo dies,'' he recalled. 'They didn't believe me, so I added, 'You think he's asleep, but he's frozen.'' His manager, though entertained, had no choice but to fire him. 'He came down smiling and said, 'Hey Bill, I have to fire you.' He loved it, but couldn't look me in the eye,' Hader said. Leonardo DiCaprio's character, Jack, famously dies at the end of Titanic—a scene that has sparked decades of debate. Director James Cameron addressed the controversy in 2022, stating that scientific testing confirmed only one person could have survived on the floating door. Hader's full story is featured in the latest episode of Everybody's Live With John Mulaney, now streaming on Netflix.

Joan Baez stops by John Mulaney's live Netflix show to blast 'billionaires' running US
Joan Baez stops by John Mulaney's live Netflix show to blast 'billionaires' running US Show Caption Hide Caption Rock Hall 2017 class includes Pearl Jam, Tupac and Journey Seattle rockers Pearl Jam, the late rapper Tupac Shakur and 1970s hitmaking band Journey were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Joan Baez, Electric Light Orchestra and Yes were also part of the 2017 class inducted. USA TODAY Joan Baez, long an outspoken advocate for civil rights, isn't going to start holding her tongue now. In an appearance on John Mulaney's new Netflix talk show, the singer-songwriter took aim at the "incompetent billionaires" whom she accused of taking over the U.S. government. "You said I could say anything I want out here," Baez, 84, told Mulaney during the Wednesday night premiere of "Everybody's Live With John Mulaney." "We're all here to be silly and have fun, and as long as we recognize the fact that our democracy is going up in flames … we're being run by a bunch of really incompetent billionaires." John Mulaney opens up about life with infant son Malcolm during Hollywood Bowl show While Baez did not name drop, the world's richest man, Elon Musk, has taken an outsized role in President Donald Trump's administration. Musk, who was not elected to public office, has been designated a special employee by Trump and has begun to slash large swaths of the federal government through his Department of Government Efficiency, also known as DOGE. Multiple tech billionaires, including Meta chief Mark Zuckerberg and Amazon head Jeff Bezos, were present at Trump's inauguration, and Trump himself has been reported to have a net worth of $4.6 billion, according to Forbes. Baez, whose anthems helped to score the 1960s civil rights movement, has long combined her music career with activism. From the Vietnam and Iraq Wars to the struggle for LGBTQ rights, the songstress has signed her name to several anti-violent causes. Her role in the success of Bob Dylan, another folk hero, was recently dramatized in the Oscar-nominated biopic "A Complete Unknown." Baez's character was played by Monica Barbaro. "At first, he was that protest voice also, and then he didn't want to do that anymore," Barbaro told USA TODAY of Baez's insights on Dylan. "She was also in love with his potential." Baez's seeming distaste for Musk resurfaced later in the show when she shared an anecdote about crashing a Tesla car shortly after purchasing it. Sheryl Crow waves goodbye to towed Tesla car after slamming 'President Musk': See video Tesla, one of Musk's many business ventures, has taken a hit in sales in recent months, as his ties to Trump scare off some buyers. As a remedy, the president hosted a quasi-car show in front of the White House this week and agreed to buy one of the models. "I hated that thing,' Baez said of the Tesla her assistant had encouraged her to buy. "But I thought I was supposed to like it. So I drove off in it. Within 45 minutes I had smashed it into an oak tree on my property. … I was thinking, 'That's a sign.'" Mulaney's show, a new venture for Netflix, sees the wildly popular comedian host other comics and actors for live interviews every Wednesday. Baez was joined by Michael Keaton and Fred Armisen as the inaugural guests.

John Mulaney: Olivia Munn can be 'so dumb' thanks to 'cancer brain'
John Mulaney has claimed Olivia Munn's cancer treatment has left her "so dumb" at times. The 42-year-old actor - who has Malcolm, three, and Méi, six months, with 'The Newsroom' actress - praised his wife for being an "inspiration" while battling breast cancer but revealed one of the side effects she has experienced after undergoing "challenging" medical processes has been so-called "cancer brain". Speaking on the new season of his Netflix talk show 'Everybody's Live With John Mulaney', he said: 'Yes, I have two children now. One was controversial, one you all seem to be cool with. "So, thank you so much for that. I did want to say something: Over the past few months, many people have reached out in a very nice way about my wife Olivia who's been battling breast cancer. I really appreciate all the nice messages that obviously she has received and that even I have received. 'But it's been a real thing to be with someone you love so much going through this. "In the past couple years, Olivia has had five surgeries, months and months of cancer treatment, and the fight that she's put up has made her so inspiring. And the effect of cancer treatment on her brain has made her, at times, so dumb. 'There's a thing called cancer brain: not brain cancer. Cancer brain. It's a sweet, wonderful dumbness that happens after all that challenging treatment." The comedian went on to share a story of how the 44-year-old actress' words suddenly failed her when they had a consultation about having their second child, who was born to a surrogate. He said: "I'll give you an example. We went to a fertility doctor, we were going to make embryos. This was after Olivia had a double mastectomy, but before her hysterectomy and ovariectomy. We were going to make embryos for what eventually became our daughter this fall. "We were standing in the doctor's office and this conversation happened word for word. Doctor, 'The great news is nine eggs survived the thaw.' Olivia, 'So now, we uh, combine it with his, uh, c**?' "[I said] 'Baby, baby. It's semen', [and the doctor said] 'Guys, it's sperm.' ' The former Saturday Night Live' star recently admitted that seeing how Olivia has used her public platform to raise awareness of cancer since her own diagnosis April 2023 has been an "astonishing" thing to watch. He told 'CBS News Sunday Morning': "There's this lifetime risk assessment that is really the only reason her cancer was discovered and seeing so many women publicly and privately come to her, they discovered how high their risk was from that. It's astonishing. "I have this feeling a lot of times. I go 'I can't believe I know this person, let alone have married her."
