In a hilarious moment from Netflix’s “Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney,” comedians John Mulaney and Conan O’Brien revealed their unexpected shared dislike for the Triceratops dinosaur. The comedic duo’s dinosaur-related grievances were showcased in a recent Instagram post from Mulaney’s account with the caption: “conan & john do NOT vibe with Triceratops #EverybodysLive.”
The Instagram image shows both comedians appearing skeptical or disappointed while discussing the prehistoric creature during what appears to be the recently released seventh episode of Mulaney’s live variety show. The dinosaur-themed Christmas special has become a standout moment from the series, combining Mulaney’s signature observational humor with O’Brien’s quick wit.
The dinosaur-themed episode marks the seventh installment of “Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney” on Netflix. This special episode blends Christmas themes with paleontology for a uniquely comedic take on prehistoric creatures. Based on Mulaney’s recent social media posts, the episode features an elaborate set design with snow effects, creating a festive dinosaur winter wonderland.
In another Instagram post about the episode, Mulaney shared: “It’s amazing how much paleontologists have learned about Dinosaurus,” showcasing his characteristic dry humor about scientific topics. The comedian’s monologue for the episode centered around the premise that “Dinosaurs are not put together correctly” – setting up the comedic theme for the show.
The variety show format has allowed Mulaney to explore different themes each episode, with this installment focusing on dinosaurs while maintaining the Christmas season spirit. The show incorporated both comedy and music, including a performance by the band METZ.
“Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney” has featured numerous notable guests throughout its run. In addition to Conan O’Brien, the dinosaur episode included appearances by Ayo Edebiri of “The Bear” fame, who apparently enjoyed the show enough to share her review on Letterboxd, according to another Instagram post from Mulaney.
The episode also featured METZ, one of Mulaney’s favorite bands, reuniting specifically for his show to perform “A Boat to Drown In.” Mulaney expressed his excitement about this performance in a separate post, praising the set design by Joe Celli and Andrea Purcigliotti, along with director Joe DeMaio, for taking the performance “to the next level” with snow effects and creative camera work.
In addition to his Netflix show, Mulaney recently announced his “Mister Whatever” tour with tickets going on sale. According to his Instagram, the tour includes shows in Toronto, Boston, Durham, Cleveland, Austin, Atlanta, and Washington DC, with presale tickets available using the code “MISTER” at johnmulaney.com.
The announcement of new tour dates suggests Mulaney is balancing his Netflix variety show commitments with continuing to perform stand-up comedy across North America, demonstrating his ongoing popularity as a live performer.
“Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney” represents Netflix’s expansion into live variety programming, following the success of their first live comedy special with Chris Rock in 2023. The format allows Mulaney to combine elements of traditional late-night television with his unique comedic sensibilities and themed episodes.
The show streams live on Netflix at 10 PM ET/7 PM PT, bringing the energy of a live performance to the streaming platform. This format has allowed Mulaney to incorporate unexpected moments and authentic reactions, like his and Conan’s shared disdain for Triceratops.
As the dinosaur Christmas episode demonstrates, Mulaney continues to find creative ways to blend comedy with unexpected topics, bringing together diverse guests and musical performances while maintaining his distinctive comedic voice.
Whether discussing the anatomical inconsistencies of dinosaurs or expressing his bewilderment at the Triceratops specifically, Mulaney’s ability to find humor in unexpected subjects remains central to his appeal – and evidently, Conan O’Brien shares his sentiments, at least when it comes to certain three-horned dinosaurs.
