John Mulaney vs. Three 14-Year-Olds: We Have a Winner! (Sorry, John)

The bad news for John Mulaney? He got beat down by three 14-year-olds. The good news? Bone Thugs-N-Harmony arrived to wrap up the season.


As season finales go, Netflix and John Mulaney's Everybody's Live with John Mulaney had a pretty damn good one. We had Adam Sandler, Joe Mande, and Sean Penn discussing their teen years, Sleater-Kinney & Fred Armisen covering Kim Wilde's "Kids in America," an appearance from "The Fonz" himself, Henry Winkler, and (yes) Bone Thugs-N-Harmony performing "Tha Crossroads." But we all knew what we were really tuning in for. "I will fight three 14-year-olds in a fight to the death, reputationally speaking. We've been hyping this fight all month, and the response to all of this hype has been overwhelming," Mulaney shared at the opening of the show. Spoiler? It wasn't even close.

"Three Truant Teens" end up using the numbers game in their favor right from the jump. Inside the wrestling ring with a referee officiating, it would be a combination of grabs and leg-sweeps that would eventually bring Mulaney to the ground, and then a pile-on and headlock to finish him off. Here's a look at some of the highlights:
