John Mulaney Plans Live Fight with Three Teen Boys on May 28

John Mulaney announced on his Netflix talk show 'Everybody’s Live with John Mulaney' that he will fight three 14-year-old boys during the season finale on May 28, a concept inspired by a viral online debate about hypothetical fights. Emphasizing that the event will be a genuine contest rather than a comedy bit, Mulaney noted that both he and the boys will fight 'as hard as we can.' He addressed legal concerns, stating that the show's team is vetting the event and believes it to be lawful for television. Mulaney invited parents or guardians of interested teens to contact the show, with Netflix legal initially recommending U.S. participants only—though Mulaney joked about opening it up globally. The challenge has sparked discussion about its practicality and the ethical implications of pitting teenagers against an adult on live television. The event reflects Mulaney's unconventional approach to late-night TV and his willingness to push boundaries for entertainment.
