[2][3][4] Hosted by comedian John Mulaney, each episode had a theme, a monologue, pre-taped sketches, guest stars, and musical performers and aired live on Netflix at 10pm EDT.
[6] Variety noted its influences, writing, "With its wood paneling, warm earth tones, and ample houseplants, the studio for Everybody's in LA is a ‘70s-inspired nod to the likes of Johnny Carson and Dick Cavett.
"[10] EJ Dickinson of Rolling Stone wrote, "There's no real reason for Everybody's in L.A., a six-episode live special, to exist but, like its host, it is unpredictable and charming".
[11] Alison Herman of Variety described the series as a "pop-up talk show", adding "with Everybody's in LA Mulaney is back on more comfortable ground: a throwback vehicle for exploring highly personal hobby horses, casting himself as a self-effacing but still smoothly composed master of ceremonies".
Club however gave the series a negative review writing, "Random chaos doesn't make for consistent comedy, and episode one of Everybody's In LA managed to come off both manic and sluggish" before adding, "The host would be well-advised to settle down, sharpen his comic focus, and take fewer prisoners, himself included".
