It brought the audience through the best and the worst moments from the last couple years! He even shared this incredibly funny moment about a conversation he had with his dad during recovery:

"He was trying to think of something wise to say, and at one point he goes, ‘Ah, yeah, I just wish grandpa were here.’ I said, ‘Dad, if grandpa were here, he would be 118 years old, and I highly doubt he would have good advice about handling social media backlash,” Mulaney quipped. “Something tells me that a dairy farmer from East Troy, Wisconsin who was too old to fight in World War 2 [chuckling] — it’s my favorite thing about him, he was too old for the oldest thing that ever happened; they needed every guy and my grandpa showed up and they were like, ‘Uh, we’re good.’"

“I’m 42, I don’t feel well either,” he began. “My brother called me in April, he goes, ‘Mom fell.’ I fell, it hurt. I also bit it at an outdoor restaurant, a bunch of waiters fanned me with menus, too. I also have a Band-Aid on the top of my hand. Older folks love a Band-Aid on the top of their hand. They love to take out that variety pack of Band-Aids, they shake ’em all up, they find the biggest, squarest, rubberiest Band-Aid, looks like it could patch a tire, they slap it on their hand. They love it to bits. How are they injuring their hands that way? What situations are they finding themselves in? Getting robbed, ‘I got a knife,’ ‘Let me at him, cut through this translucent liver-spotted claw of bird bones you son of a bitch.’"
