The Andy Greenwald Podcast: John Mulaney’s First and Last Days at ‘SNL’

During his time on Saturday Night Live, comedian John Mulaney helped create Stefon, wrote (and occasionally performed) bits for the “Weekend Update” desk, and went to dinner with Mick Jagger. I spoke to him about the terror and wonder of his first day on the job — and his last.
(Note: This is an excerpt from a longer podcast. Look for the whole thing close to the premiere of his Fox sitcom, Mulaney, late next month.)
