An “amazing” local news station in Los Angeles was the inspiration for John Mulaney’s “Everyone’s in L.A.” Netflix special, the comedian says.
In an interview with Variety, Mulaney said that his six-part special, which was part of the larger “Netflix is a Joke” festival, was even better because there were so many comedians in the city at the same time.
However, for “Everyone’s in L.A.,” Mulaney said he wanted to do things a little differently because the City of Angels “really confuses and intrigues [him].”

“I said, ‘I’ll do it if I can cover L.A. like local television’,” Mulaney said. “I’ll have all the comics on, [and] we will weave them in.”
And there was only one local station he was talking about: L.A.’s Very Own KTLA 5.
“I’d like to have [the special] feel like KTLA,” he said. “Those of you that know…it’s an amazing local station in Los Angeles.”
“And [the Netflix executives] were good with that,” he added.
On behalf of the entire KTLA family, thank you for your kind words, John. You’re always welcome to stop by!
