New John Mulaney's Sack Lunch Bunch Coming To Comedy Central

Comedy Central has announced a deal with comedian John Mulaney to executive produce two more Sack Lunch Bunch specials. These follow-ups to his 2019 Netflix parody of children's TV shows will include "an upcoming holiday-themed one that will reunite the cast from the original." No release date or further information was given in a statement issued by Comedy Central.

Mulaney's Sack Lunch Bunch debuted in December 2019 and was full of original songs like "I Saw A White Lady Standing On The Street Just Sobbing (And I Think About It Once A Week)," "Grandma's Boyfriend Paul," and "Plain Plate of Noodles." It also featured surprise cameos from Jake Gyllenhaal and David Byrne.

"I was an intern at Comedy Central when I was barely older than the kids in the Sack Lunch Bunch," Mulaney said in the statement. "I wasn't a very good intern, so I am psyched they hired me again." These specials mark Mulaney's return to Comedy Central, where he last did the special New in Town in 2012.

Mulaney is a former Saturday Night Live writer, perhaps now better known as a fan favorite SNL host. He appeared in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse as Peter Porker/Spider-Ham, and has had a prolific series of collaborations with comedian Nick Kroll since appearing opposite him on Comedy Central's Kroll Show. The Sack Lunch is part of his increasing flirtations with children's programming--earlier this year Mulaney went on HBO Max's The Not-Too-Late Show with Elmo.
