John Mulaney

Hey, can I say this?

I think the Jews are running Hollywood.

You do?

No, I think there's something... I've had some experiences over the last couple of pilot seasons, and my partner's a very fair-haired guy, Kevin Hench, red-haired guy from...

Massachusetts, who's a state school guy.

There is a little club.

Part of it is Jewish.

The other part of it is sort of Ivy League, sort of Harvard, Yale, and all that kind of stuff.

And they sort of stick together.

And there is an element, and I think we all suffer from it, which is if you're going to hire a writer, and the one guy is Jewish, and he's from Harvard, and the other guy went to a state school, he went to CSUN, and his last name is...

O'Malley, there's a part just sort of like choosing a doctor or choosing certain things where you sort of factor in the heritage.

So to speak, it's like this.

If someone said, hey, you need a bodyguard, I'd go, give me a black guy.

Yeah.

I'd just say it.

And if somebody said, hey, man, give me a therapist, I'd say, give me a Jew.

Yeah.

And if somebody said, give me a mathematics professor, I'd say, give me an Asian.

Give me a stand-up comedian.

What are you asking for?
