Before we discuss John Mulaney, the fictional protagonist of Fox’s new comedy Mulaney, allow me to confess something about John Mulaney, the real-life comedian: I am a huge fan of his pre-sitcom work.
Ever since I saw him do a bit about Girl Scout cookies on Saturday Night Live — back when he wrote for the show and introduced us to Stefon, the gift that keeps on giving — I was hooked. I know his stand-up specials backwards and forwards (and regularly quote them). Needless to say, I was thrilled when Mulaney finally landed his own sitcom.

A lot of very smart and funny people who work in the TV comedy business are rooting for Fox's "Mulaney" to succeed for two reasons: 1)Star and creator John Mulaney is both a terrific stand-up comic and writer (at "SNL," he was responsible for making Bill Hader crack up at least once during every Stefon appearance); and 2)This gifted comedian and writer is concentrating his energy on making a traditional multi-camera sitcom, shot on a stage in front of a live audience — a format no one but CBS succeeds with anymore, even though many of us still have fond memories of "Cheers," "The Cosby Show," "Friends" and, yes, "Seinfeld," which is the inescapable structural model for "Mulaney." Comedy people want John Mulaney to succeed, and they want "Mulaney" to prove that someone other than Chuck Lorre can still make a good and popular multi-cam show. For many of the same reasons,...

Survey says… Martin Short is reuniting with his old Saturday Night Live boss!
The comedian is finalizing a deal to play a game-show host in NBC’s untitled Lorne Michaels/John Mulaney project, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The multi-camera project is based loosely on former SNL scribe Mulaney’s life and will follow a group of young people and their hijinks. Lorne Michaels (Saturday Night Live, 30 Rock), Dave Becky (Louie), and David Miner and Andrew Singer (30 Rock) will exec-produce.
Sctv vet Short will play Lou Cannon, the host/boss for whom Mulaney writes jokes.

The Hollywood Reporter writes that Martin Short is close to a deal to join the cast of John Mulaney’s currently untitled multi-cam sitcom pilot. In the semiautobiographical show written and starring Mulaney, Short would play his boss, Lou Cannon, a game-show host Mulaney writes jokes for. Short is a longtime friend of the pilot’s producer Lorne Michaels and, like Mulaney, worked at SNL for a spell. (Though Michaels was not with the show during Short’s year as a cast member.) When you get a chance, we recommend checking in on any of your comedy-nerd friends, because this news might have induced a heart attack.
