I'll say the same-ish thing I did last week: no matter how many missed opportunities came & went during the live show, him actually going through with the fight with three 14 year-old boys he'd been promising for weeks is one of the best things I've seen happen on tv in years. Not the actual fight, but that it actually happened at all - of course like everybody else I assumed something would happen at the last minute to make the fight not happen but it did happen
and I'm not joking that we're all better off for it:...until around 8:04 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, John Mulaney versus three teen boys was still a going concern. At the end of April, John Mulaney announced he’d be fighting three teenage boys during the finale of his talk show, Everybody’s Live With John Mulaney. As the weeks went by and more teen boys were given their own fight promo shoots, folks began to wonder, Is he really gonna do it? And now we know. Hell yeah, he was.
As Joe Mande, Adam Sandler, one of the writers’ babysitters, a cigarette-ripping Sean Penn, announcer Richard Kind, and Saymo looked on, the teens worked together to topple their tall foe. One kid kept trying to go low to either flip or Three Stooges–style trip Mulaney, and that was a great instinct. Once John was on the ground, the collective weight of the teens was no match for one father of two. He tapped out, and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony heralded their triumph in song.
