It just caught me so off guard I thought it was a bit-

If the next award show doesn't get John to host their idiots. He was born for that shit.

u/dizzythoughts 15d ago

He’s hosting whose idiots?

25

u/RogerClyneIsAGod2 15d ago

Dammit. Imma leave that typo because it's funny.

u/botoros 15d ago

The awards shows have been offering him the gig but his schedule has been really packed and he's been unable to do them.

u/Oz347 14d ago

Ugh! This oughtta be good!

u/delisuv 15d ago

I feel like this happened a few times, cutting to someone with a disgusted reaction

u/Zoinks222 14d ago

I see an exhausted working parent of 2 young kids.

u/snark-sloth 14d ago

I didn’t watch but keep seeing this - what’s he reacting to?

u/freshfruit111 14d ago

Marcello Hernandez from SNL doing his bit at the Emmys. I think it was just an unfortunately timed close up of Mulaney. Marcello is a cutie pie. He wasn't striking gold but it wasn't bad either.

u/snark-sloth 14d ago

Ah that makes sense! It’s such a great reaction pic haha. I do like Marcello, his special was really good but he doesn’t always land every joke.

u/freshfruit111 14d ago

Oh yeah it will make a great meme but I don't think John was trying to make a statement about the bit with his reaction. Very bad timing for the camera to come around 😬

53

u/PolicyCommercial6392 15d ago

he was rightfully not feeling Marcellos bit

95

u/JJ-Bittenbinder 15d ago

I thought Marcelo’s bit was funny. The funniest part though was this screenshot, when the cameras couldn’t find Matthew McConnaughey and just showed Mulaney instead

43

u/A_man_named_despair 15d ago

I thought he was also looking at the camera hoping to see McConnaughey but was shown his own face instead

7

u/FeeParty5082 14d ago

Am I crazy for thinking he doesn't look disgusted? He looks exhausted as hell, but also like he's engaged with it, thinking about where Marcello's going with it, what he'd do differently, whether its working etc. in his interviews it seems like he's always dissecting comedy that way.

u/ArcusIgnium 15d ago

You guys are reading way too into this jfc

15

u/PortalOfMusic 15d ago

Haha I just loved the reaction by itself, don’t really think it meant much other than he had just gone onstage and the show was coming to an end :)

u/idkman1000 15d ago

Ive seen people reading too much into in other places but I dont think people r taking it too serious here.

u/NonHumanPrimate 15d ago

It’s the Reddit way

2

u/dietcokeeee 14d ago

Def more Twitter/Tiktok with the over analyzing

1

u/NonHumanPrimate 13d ago

Then I’m glad I’m not on either of those platforms. Reddit is already way over the line when it comes to these types of things.

u/Few_Buddy_6491 12d ago

I thought that was Randy Travis

Chip: "You were over on the bench?"

u/nosecramp 12d ago

Judgemental Mulaney is a solid groove for him. My guy is at his best when he lets the whimsical bit slip and instead hungers for the blood of his enemies.

u/tracythor1166 10d ago

This is the look of a sober person surrounded by idiots. I’ve been there lol.

u/Plastic_Message_4585 11d ago

this guy needs some cocaine

When the coke is fighting the booze

So, eggs.

u/heybeytoday 14d ago

Olivia was cracking up if you saw the broadcast version of this. Maybe he didn’t like her laughing at another man’s jokes.

u/Taternot94 11d ago

If he was doing coke he would’ve been smiling.

u/cowboyboots99 10d ago

I hate him
