John Mulaney: Fox’s cancelation of my Mulaney sitcom was “the best thing that ever happened”

  • Mulaney, whose sitcom ran on Fox during the 2014-15 season, has seen his career take off since his sitcom failure, with acclaimed performances that include his Oh, Hello Broadway show with Nick Kroll. “This is the future of comedy, ladies and gentlemen," David Letterman said of Mulaney at the Mark Twain Prize ceremony after the comedian paid tribute to the late-night legend. Nowadays, Mulaney says his heart really wasn’t in his network sitcom. “I don’t like to say I’m glad it didn’t work because a lot of people lose a job,” Mulaney says, adding: “But I’m glad it didn’t work. It was like, the best thing that ever happened.”
