Check Out The First 'Mulaney' Promo

If you've been wondering where some of Saturday Night Live's flavor recently fled to, Fox's upcoming sitcom Mulaney is at least part of the answer. And now we've got a first look at the comedy. It's coming to a TV or similar device near you in the fall, and so far it's looking extremely sitcom-y.

Mulaney — named after, created by, and starring former Saturday Night Live writer John Mulaney — has been what you could call a long-anticipated show. Mulaney shopped it to NBC first, but when they passed on it Fox took him up on the offer. Give or take a detail that's pretty much how showrunning started for Mindy Kaling and The Mindy Project, too, so it'll be no surprise if this morphs into a project with a similar reception.

Saturday Night Live's Nasim Pedrad is also a regular on Mulaney — in fact, it's why she left the show at the end of this year. As many SNL alum can attest, you gotta jump ship when a major role in an ensemble sitcom rolls around.

So far it's hard to see past the sitcom tropes that populate the first trailer for this show — the crazy friends! The multi-cam! — but Mulany's stand-up special New In Town was pretty great, and this is the man behind the best of Stefon. Somehow I just can't make myself not excited for this show?
