US-China Tensions: Threat Inflation and Balloon Deflation, February 8, 2023

When a Chinese spy balloon was spotted over the U.S. last week, Americans reacted the only way they know how: by shooting it out of the sky with a missile. But why do we keep insisting that China is our sworn enemy? We’re talking through all of this with Jessica Chen Weiss, the Zak Professor at Cornell and Senior Fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute Center for China Analysis, and John Glaser, adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute and host of Cato's Power Problems podcast. We discuss America’s reflexive urge to escalate even the smallest threat, why our geopolitical position is actually way more secure than we’re led to believe, and whether we might figure out a way to share the world stage with China.

Thoughts on Everybody's in L.A.

I don't mean to be hyperbolic, but I think John Mulaney's Everybody's in L.A. is a brilliant experiment that both comedy and talk shows desperately need.

On the surface, it's a weird window into what Mulaney finds funny, but underneath, it's a loving deconstruction of the talk show medium. As I've written here before, I have a love for nighttime talk shows: The Tonight Show, Late Show, Late Night, etc. They are a predictable staple of American television, that comfortably threads the needle of topical humor and Hollywood promotion.

Outside of a few quirks here and there, for the most part, you know exactly what you are getting when you tune in. That being said, I think these shows are best when they are weird. David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, and Craig Fergeson really knew how to grow an audience with oddball humor and premises.

Much of the late-night weirdness has disappeared. Fallon, Colbert, and Kimmel, being in the early slot, play it pretty straight; with Fallon being the most off-base. Myers has leaned into political/Daily Show style bits and the Late Late Show has been replaced by After Midnight, a game show.

So where does Everybody's in L.A. fit into this? If you're not aware, Mulaney and Netflix decided to capitalize on comedians raining down on Los Angeles for the Netflix is a Joke Fest, by booking a nightly, live, talk show hosted by John Mulaney, one of the most respected stand-up comedians in the game right now.

It ran for 6 days during the fest and was live every night. I wasn't expecting much. The pitch makes it sound like a video podcast, with a rotating couch of guests, dozens of which you can find on Youtube (most of them are bad). What the show actually turned out to be was Mulaney steering a ship on the perpetual brink of chaos.

From call-in contributors to clueless comedians to Richard Kind being 100% Richard Kind to SAYMO L.A.'s annoying delivery robots to actors showing up to be audience plants, every episode had a bizarre alternate dimension feel to it. The guests weren't there to promote anything, and the show ended up being a love letter to the oddest parts of L.A.

In fact, instead of focusing on the guests, Everybody's in L.A. focused on L.A. Each episode had an L.A.-specific theme. Helicopters, Earthquakes, and Coyotes were just a few of the topics tackled by the guests, with one expert guest always being on the panel to ground the conversation.

The unconventional nature of the show seems to have caught some of the comedians off guard. Nate Bargatze, Mae Martin, and Tom Segura are just some of the guests who were clearly uncomfortable or just didn't fully get the joke. These three are some of the best in the business right now, so catching them off guard says a lot about the comedy featured in the show.

On the other hand, guests like Jon Stewart got the joke. “I feel like this entire show is a Banksy.” he said during the episode on palm trees. Nikki Glaser said to Mulaney in the last episode “It’s like an inside joke that only you are in on.” Bill Hader, Sarah Silverman, and Pete Davidson all were clearly having a great time drinking in the avant-garde nature of the show.

But why is this little 6 episode experiment so important? Well, it pulls influences from everywhere: SNL, Letterman, Graham Norton, and even Chapelle's Show. The pretaped shorts ranged from parodies to local L.A. documentary pieces to slice-of-life/on-the-scene bios. Even the bumpers between segments felt like art.

Bits that seem like one-offs come back like story narratives and legitimately famous actors show up to play uncredited bit parts. Mulaney knew he had a long leash and with it being on Netflix, and a one-off series, he didn't need it to be mainstream or even a success. It could just be art, a snapshot of his and his writer's minds to live on the streaming platform like a Michelangelo painting.

We all know broadcast television and late-night shows are dying a slow death. I don't think anything can stop it. What can late night learn from Everybody's in L.A.? Embrace the weird. Try something new, or do something live. Their viewership is pretty static at this point, making their shows more compelling by adding a bit of spontaneity, and unpredictability isn't going to push viewers away.

Make your guests a little uncomfortable, they're only there to promote some movie or TV show. Don't stray away from smart humor, long-form inside jokes, or pretaped goofiness. Everybody's in L.A. proves the status quo isn't required and audiences, especially younger audiences, want to see something they've never seen before.

It's yet to be seen if Netflix will ask Mulaney to come back for a second run the next time there's a festival, but for the sake of the purity of this show, I hope he declines. Actually, give another comedian a crack at creating a live show during the festival. There are brilliant minds across the comedy world and Everybody's in L.A. has shown there are a multitude of ways for them to shine.
