Dude just gave the best 90 second monologue for the whole night without breaking a sweat or staring at a teleprompter. His talent and his borderline 1930s transatlantic accent just screams Oscar Host.
Oh good lord yes. His whole bit where he interrupts his story about meeting Bill Clinton with talking about The Fugitive is one of my favourite things he's done
@ryandhamilton18 My favorite thing about that is each time hedid a fugitive aside he stops the story at the exact same spot. "We walk in and it's packed with people..."
Unfortunately they'll never let him. Did you hear how half the (older) audience couldn't even muster up a laugh? Maybe in a few years when the rest of Hollywood catches up.😊
@@gregfaber3417 And he's less political than JImmy Kimmel. I like Jimmy, but you know about 40% of the potential audience won't even tune in to the show because he's hosting it and will inevitably say something political. A horse loose in the hospital is about the most he's said about that, AFAIK.
And Back to the Future - "Who's his best friend again? A disgraced nuclear physicist? Ok, proceed." Ha, just remembered: "...well now I'm embarrassed to say... I mean... WE THOUGHT it would be funny if...."
@@yonick1 That bit's funny, but only *really* funny if you haven't seen the movie in ten years and don't remember it very well because it's really innacurate
John is consistently the funniest person in the room, wherever he is. I hope he keeps showing up to these events. His joke about Angela Bassett getting an Oscar nom for a Marvel movie being equivalent to a reddit comment winning a Pulitzer Prize killed me.
He is MY GENERATION's version of maybe what Steve Martin was for my Dad's... this effortlessly funny, confident comedic voice that just lights the scene on fire wherever he goes... becomes synonymous with an effortless and precise comedy that stands in it's own lane even amongst contemporaries. Nobody TRIES to be Mulaney - his schtick isn't a schtick that can be copied - he's just GOT it. Legend. He's catching on more and more and I'm all for it.
His cadence, tone, inflection, affect, pauses, everything, are perfect. His delivery on long form jokes is second to none, it gets funnier as it goes on and you still know the punchline is coming to cap it off, despite the mini-tangents and side laughs. He is brilliant in his field.
@@SheenifierWell that is okay because apparently it is only said in the trailer but also it is okay, even preferable, not to see Madame Web in general.
Also Home Alone 2. “If only it hadn’t come out 17 yrs earlier. But [he] wasn’t a comedian then so [he] was going to have to talk about now (in his special). [He] wished it had come out then. [He] wished [he’d] been a def com comic.” And then he goes for the BEST PART which I will not ruin in a comment. I think it’s in his first special John Mulaney New in Town. I’m sure it also contains jokes about Law and Order bc all of his early stuff does. And that’s also worthy of watching. He’s hysterical!! Already a legend! 😅
I genuinely love when comedians are given a topic to start with and they devolve it into lunacy and something completely unrelated just before swiftly going back on topic. Definitely much better than two comedians doing a horribly rehearsed bit that nobody understands because they're doing the bit before they announce the category they're presenting and so the most it gets is a groan from the audience. Why do they keep doing that over this?
I also like that he didn't demean or make fun of anybody specifically. He just made fun of how the Field of Dreams has a bit of a weird plot, but is one of the best movies made.
Now the Oscar for achievement in sound. You know, for years, movies didn’t have sound. And then, they figured it out. Some people say that the silent era was the golden era of film. These people are difficult and insane. Without sound, we wouldn’t been able to hear such classic lines as; “You’re gonna need a bigger boat”, “I’ll have what she’s having” and “He was in the Amazons with my mother when she was researching spiders just before she died” Or what about that moment in Field of Dreams, when we hear; “If you built it, he will come”. And then Costner does it, he builds a baseball field. Or i guess he doesn’t build it, he mowns down corn and then there is a field. And then he is like, “I'm gonna watch ghost play baseball”. And the bank is like; “You wanna pay your mortgage?”, and then he is like; “nah, I’m gonna watch ghost play baseball”. And then he finds James Earls Jones, who wrote the Boat Rocker, which i thought was a real book deep into my twenties. And he’s like “People will come Ray”. He’s the only one with a financial plan. But what's weird is Timothy Busfield pushes little Gaby Hoffmann off the bleachers, and she falls down and she is unconscious. Then Burt Lancaster's "Moonlight" Graham and he comes up and he pats her on the back a couple of times. And he’s like; “Hot dog stuck in the throat”. And then he can't come back in the game. Cause i guess there is a rule, in ghost baseball. That if you leave the field at any point to become an elderly ghost and do the Heimlich maneuver, you can't return to the field. I love Field of Dreams, that should win best picture. Though, they'll probably go with one of this year's. Here are the nominees for best achievement in sound.
“Without Sound we wouldn’t hear iconic lines such as “We’re going to need a bigger boat”, “I’ll have what she’s having”, and “He was in the Amazon with my mother when she was researching spiders just before she died”.” John Mulaney, man of the people.
He's so great at subverting expectations in his comedy. He did a similar bit in The Comeback Kid with his President Clinton/Richard Kimble bit. Brilliant! Glad to see hm on top of his game.
This reminds me of ‘88 Oscars, when Billy Crystal was greatly presenting the academy for the best sound and a year after he hosted the Oscars…hopefully we see John hosting next year!!
I think Jimmy is over it too though. This year was really safe. I’m thinking his Governor awards hosting gig was them & him testing the waters. Hope next year he host.
I like how they didn’t even cut to Dakota Johnson when he made the Madam Web joke, like they do sometimes when a joke is made about an actor/director in attendance.
John Mulaney just got the job as host for 2025!!! OK, I'm not crazy about that tuxedo he was wearing, but that doesn't really matter. What does matter is that we never have to even think about Kimmel again, ever. It's like Christmas or something.
@@thejimbruce I'm sure you'd look fabulous in this tux! But I think the proportions are off on the one John's wearing. He looked fantastic at the Governors Awards though. Perfect actually.
I agree he should host the whole thing though I think Kimmel was better this year than he's ever been. The trump aside was excellent, and he seemed to realise it wasn't about him and kept the whole thing moving along.

I hope someone can make a compilation of John Mulaney talking about movies cuz he actually talks about them quite a bit. He would be the perfect Oscars host for his passion for movies, brilliant comedic skills, and is able to do musical numbers if he wishes
Academy if you are reading this, John Mulaney is your perfect host. The man is a born comedian, he can do smart politic humor like "horse in a hospital" bit, he is a cinephile and he can even do musicals and sing like he did in SNL.

I think most of it was him quoting a movie.
@@TyTyMcGintynah it really wasn’t. If you had an attention span of more than 20 seconds you’d know that, moon boy.
Given who John is this is probably a real conversation he has had multiple times.
If John Mulaney's next special was purely dedicated to him recapping movies he's seen, I would gladly watch it.
I'd gladly watch it if it was just an even more in depth review of Field of Dreams tbh
Oh good lord yes. His whole bit where he interrupts his story about meeting Bill Clinton with talking about The Fugitive is one of my favourite things he's done
His recap of Back to the Future is the video I show people who have never heard of John Mulaney
@ryandhamilton18 My favorite thing about that is each time hedid a fugitive aside he stops the story at the exact same spot. "We walk in and it's packed with people..."
How about just Law & Order recaps? I could listen to him do that all day.
There is not a single extra or wasted word in this entire 90 seconds. It's so perfect, I'm in awe. I can't wait for the day John hosts the Oscars
He's the master of leading you off the rails and being able to land it perfectly. Exquisitely written and flawlessly performed.
A guy named William Shakesman once said "Brevity is the soul of wit."
Unfortunately they'll never let him. Did you hear how half the (older) audience couldn't even muster up a laugh? Maybe in a few years when the rest of Hollywood catches up.😊

Yes! I couldn’t agree more! John Mulaney never fails
I thought the same thing.
jimmy kimmel is supremely annoying and unfunny
And JM is handsome, too! And has an excellent voice, and projects quite well!
His governor’s awards monologue this year was fantastic, in case you missed that.
Every presenter you can tell someone else wrote their lines for them. No one could have come up with this but John Mulaney
lol
The dig at Madame Web was absolutely amazing
At least it's better than field of dreams.
Him presenting an award is like a horse.... loose in a hospital.
🏆
Best description of Trump ever. 🤣
Great call back!!! 🤣
Drug addicts say the darndest things

Between this and his “The Fugitive” bit, I’m convinced I could legit enjoy a series that’s just Mulaney describing movies.

I might be wrong--I almost always am--but I don't think they needed the writers for that bit. That sounds like pure Mulaney.
"John, we need you to fill some time."
I’m certain John wrote that in his own. The actors had writers but the comedians did their own bits
John came up with that bit when he was 12-13, just waiting for the right moment
It's very much in line with his aside bit about the Fugitive.
I would love to see a skit by John Mulaney and Dakota Johnson about Madame Web
John Mulaney should be given a shot at hosting. As long as he can write it too.
they might still try to zhuzh it up with Bruce Vilanch.
I love when he goes on a rant. One of his specials he did this bit with a different movie.
The Fugitive?
also Back to the Future 😂
Which one? I am going to see it!
@neoshinok9962 one of the funniest long form jokes ever

John has always been A+ for this delivery about summarizing films. This is no exception.
He says that difficult and insane casually like he's ordering a coffee, just a simple observation that speaks volumes
John Mulaney has the sharp and efficient brain of an attorney. I'm so glad he's using it for comedy instead.
Both of his parents are/were lawyers, so that tracks!
Please welcome your host to the 97th Academy Awards, John Mulaney!
It would not be the Oscars without a solid Burt Lancaster impression
This moment was perfect. Just perfect writing, perfect delivery, by the perfect guy. Why the hell is he not hosting more things!?
He's right about Field of Dreams, too.
This little segment was funnier than anything Jimmy Kimmel has ever said.
