John Mulaney is best known for his work as a writer on Saturday Night Live and as a standup comedian with standup specials The Top Part, New in Town, and The Comeback 
Kid. Malaney was the creator and star of the short-lived Fox sitcom Mulaney, a semi-autobiographical series.
In his bio it is reported when he was seven he had an opportunity to audition for the role of Kevin in the film Home Alone, but his parents declined. When he was in junior high at St. Clement School, in lieu of doing reports, he and his best friend, John O'Brien, would offer to perform what they had learned in the format of a skit. Mulaney would also frequent the Museum of Broadcast Communications, where he would watch archived episodes of shows such as I Love Lucy or The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson.
