Mulaney Does One-Time-Only LIve Star-Studded Mini for Netflix

[Mark Jeffries]

If what I hear in the trailer included in the link is correct, "John Mulaney Presents: Everyone's in LA," a six-night live special from various Southland locations with the possible (emphasis on possible) participation of Chris Rock, Jerry Seinfeld and David Letterman, will stream on May 3 and then on May 6-10 at 10 p.m. ET and live around the rest of the world at local time (Adam, you'll have to watch it at 3 a.m. UK time)--and not be streamed again after the live telecast:

The series is based on a show Mulaney did at last year's Netflix Is a Joke festival in LA and just happens to stream while this year's edition of the festival, with an impressive list of comedy stars, is happening in the LA metro (and Mulaney will appear at the Hollywood Bowl as part of the festival on May 4).

I mean, amiable as he is, I won't be getting up at 3am to watch Mulaney's, or anybody's, comedy specials. 

That said, I'm not altogether sure that the show won't be available to watch again after the live stream. I can't see reference to that in any of the promotional information surrounding it. E.g. It's not mentioned on Netflix's "Tudum" site: https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/john-mulaney-everybodys-in-la-live-news

To the best of my knowledge, only one Netflix live event has really troubled a mostly-non-US timezone so far. Their "Netflix Slam" tennis match aired in European primetime - I think it took place in Vegas at noon local time/3pm EST. But I didn't really have a reason to watch a non-competitive tennis match ahead of, I don't know, an actual sports fixture that counts for something. I did tune in for a few minutes out of interest, and was mostly amused that one of their courtside interviewers was being shushed by her interviewee because she was continuing to ask questions as one of the players tried to serve. I didn't recognise any of the people involved but they might have been sportsmen/women?

Amusingly, in my Netflix queue, the match is still there as something for me to go back to and finish.
