What they said about the show
Early feedback to the series has been positive with USA Today claiming that it’s weird but fun, adding: a live variety/sketch/talk mishmash of famous people, regular people, prerecorded bits, awkwardness and Mulaney’s idiosyncrasies. It does not make sense. It does not follow regular formats. It is so strange. And yet it is also pretty funny.
Variety too were positive claiming: “the show had some visible hiccups, including sound issues and a palpable rush through the final stretch to wrap the show around the hour mark. But the awkwardness only added to the charm”.
Rolling Stone also approved of the unpredictable format, stating: “There’s no real reason for Everybody’s in L.A., a six-episode live special, to exist but, like its host, it is unpredictable and charming”.
