After some time passed, Mulaney said he realized that fans didn’t view Mulaney’s failure in the same way he did, which obviously helped the comedian move past the event and onto bigger and better things.
John Mulaney wasn’t always that bold with his commentary regarding Mulaney, as he said in the time soon after the show’s cancellation he felt as though he had to publicly acknowledge his show failed.
The comedian would reference the show’s failure in his stand up, mostly because he felt like he had to address it to avoid looking like he was ignoring an elephant in the room.
