Netflix's new live talk show, "Everybody's Live With John Mulaney," premiered with a strong Bay Area influence focusing on financial themes. The episode featured guests like journalist Jessica Roy, actor Michael Keaton, and folk icon Joan Baez. Mulaney discussed the historical significance of Baez's music and her experiences with civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. The conversation veered towards current political issues, with Baez candidly remarking on the state of democracy and governance, underscoring the show's blend of levity and serious discourse.
First I have to set a context I'm here in. You said I could say anything I want out here. We're all here to be silly and have fun, as long as we recognize that our democracy is going up in flames and it's being run by a bunch of incompetent billionaires. That being said, ask me anything you want.
You asked me about my relationship with Martin Luther King Jr. I once spent an hour in a car with him and his entourage, and let me tell you, it was filled with laughter and dirty jokes - something that caught me off guard.
