John Mulaney explains why he refused to host 'The Daily Show'

-


John Mulaney is a comedian and actor who is known for his stand-up comedy and work on shows like "Saturday Night Live" and "Big Mouth." In 2013, he was offered the opportunity to host "The Daily Show" after the departure of longtime host Jon Stewart. However, Mulaney ultimately turned down the offer.


In an interview with Vulture in 2019, Mulaney explained his decision, saying that he felt that he was not the right fit for the show. He said that while he loves "The Daily Show" and has great respect for what Jon Stewart did with the program, he didn't feel that his own comedic style was a good match for the show.


Mulaney said that he preferred to work in the realm of stand-up comedy, where he could have more control over his material and connect with his audience directly. He also said that he felt that the political landscape was changing rapidly at the time, and he wasn't sure that he wanted to devote his career to covering it on a daily basis.


Ultimately, Mulaney said that he made the decision that was best for him and his career, and he has no regrets about turning down the opportunity to host "The Daily Show." He has continued to work in comedy and entertainment, and has become a beloved figure among fans of his work.



It's worth noting that while Mulaney turned down the opportunity to host "The Daily Show," he has still worked on political comedy in his own way. In his stand-up comedy specials, he has tackled political issues with his unique brand of humor, and he has made appearances on political talk shows like "Late Night with Seth Meyers" and "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert."



Mulaney's decision to turn down "The Daily Show" also allowed him to focus on other projects that were important to him. In the years since, he has continued to write and perform stand-up comedy, and he has also worked as a writer and producer on shows like "Documentary Now!" and "Big Mouth." He has also pursued acting opportunities, with roles in films like "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" and the TV series "Oh, Hello on Broadway."



Overall, Mulaney's decision to turn down "The Daily Show" was a reflection of his desire to stay true to his own comedic style and focus on the projects that were most meaningful to him. While he may have missed out on a high-profile gig, he has continued to have a successful career in the entertainment industry, and his fans appreciate his unique perspective and sense of humor.
