John Mulaney allegedly also said no to the Academy.

Mulaney opened up about his genuine admiration for Jim Henson and why the "Sesame Street" character is still his comedy "North Star" while accepting the Innovation Award.

The event, held at Citizen News in Hollywood on June 6, honored Carol Burnett, Quinta Brunson, John Mulaney, and many other luminaries of the TV season.

The creator and showrunner of the FX comedy shares his thoughts about John Mulaney's work on "The Bear" and "Everybody's in LA," for which Mulaney will receive the inaugural IndieWire Honors Innovation Award.

The Emmy-winning comedian, who will receive the inaugural Innovation Award at IndieWire Honors, tells IW about his weird, very fun Netflix talk series: "You have Jerry Seinfeld, and he's sitting next to a coyote expert. That was a North Star from the beginning."

The comedian's week-long Netflix special gets off to a promising — and very weird — start.

The Netflix variety show is John Mulaney's favorite thing he's ever done, but it doesn't sound like Netflix (or Comedy Central) wants more.

"John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s In LA" is a special run of six episodes created by and starring Mulaney.

“It wasn’t the right thing at that moment," Mulaney said of the opportunity that ultimately went to Trevor Noah.

In a heartfelt, searing, and hilarious new Netflix special, the comic lays out his regret and gratitude for a turbulent few years.

Plus, John Mulaney jokes about his divorce and child in the trailer for the show, out May 4.

“I’m trying to celebrate him, you know?,” director Akiva Schaffer told IndieWire about the original, discarded design for the star of "Sonic the Hedgehog."
