John MULANEY was a guest on last night's episode of Conan. During the interview, CONAN brings up Mulaney's famous musical SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE sketches. CONAN asks if "Diner Lobster" and "Bodega Bathroom" are part of a trilogy of musical sketches, and if audiences should be expecting a third the next time he hosts. MULANEY replies, "I'm not sure what the next would be, I think it might be the G train."

In addition to his musical SNL sketches and starring in the "Co-Op" episode of "Documentary Now!", John MULANEY starred on Broadway in the play, "Oh, Hello" alongside Nick Kroll. The show first premiered off-Broadway at the Cherry Lane Theatre, and after touring around the U.S. for select dates, it was announced that "Oh, Hello" would be transferring to Broadway. MULANEY and Kroll recently lead a special, one-night only live read of the 1981 comedy "My Dinner with Andre" at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts.

Previously, John starred in the Broadway hit, Oh, Hello alongside Nick Kroll. He can most recently be heard in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse which won the Golden Globe for best Animated Feature Film.

In 2015 MULANEY released his third stand up special, a Netflix Original titled THE COMEBACK Kid, which the AV Club called "his best hour of his career." He began his career in New York's East Village and has since toured around the world.
