Wow another thing we agree on! Mulaney AND Nanette! Two things!!
Here's the interesting thing to me. When I think of Mulaney, despite all I know about him, I don't think of someone who is fundamentally broken. I think of someone who has messed up, a lot, apparently, but like you say, he's not difficult to like or relate to. Reminds me of a family member I have: very likable; does extremely stupid shit, and I'm not sure why.
We watched the special last night and I laughed until I had tears running down my cheeks. Maybe it’s the spectacle of a vainglorious man being forced into humility by bitter experience. I could relate. Or maybe it was his harebrained scheme to raise cash by buying a rose-gold Rolex. (To which I could NOT relate.) I don’t know. But something about the special really touched me.
I’m so glad no one gave you cocaine when you were young, Ed!
