John Mulaney’s 2026 Emmys appearance has fans all echoing the same thing online.
Mulaney, 44, appeared to present the Lead Actor in a Drama Series category during Monday night’s ceremony. In doing so, he made several jokes in rapid succession, drawing hearty laughs from the crowd, and even garnering the broadcast’s first bleeped-out phrase. The comedian’s appearance lasted longer than several of the speeches so far during the ceremony.
Now, fans are all calling for Mulaney to serve as next year’s host.
“Ok we really gotta get John Mulaney to host some of these awards shows. That was fantastic,” one person wrote on X while another agreed, “John Mulaney needs to host everything.”
“Oh my god why didn’t they just get John Mulaney to host the Emmys??” someone else wrote.
“john mulaney shows up to these f***ing awards shows and every time, WITHOUT FAIL, demonstrates why he should just be hosting every single one of these. it’s so refreshing and infuriating at the same time because WHY ARE THEY NOT HIRING HIM TO HOST,” another lamented.
“I need John Mulaney to stay as host for the rest of the ceremony. Don’t let that other lady come back, please,” someone else said while another fan agreed, “Just keep John Mulaney on stage tonight.”
The 78th annual Emmys were hosted by Law & Order star Mariska Hargitay.
