Elsewhere on Wednesday night’s late night comedy circuit, Netflix debuted its new show Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney. As one of his first guests, Mulaney had on singer and activists Joan Baez, who brought a somber tone to the festivities, “First, I have to set the context that I’m here in. You said I could say anything I want out here. So, that we’re all here to be silly and have fun and as long as we recognize the fact that our democracy’s going up in flames and we’re about to—we’re being run by a bunch of really incompetent billionaires.”

Not a great start to a new era of late night comedy on Netflix.
