Conception
Hosted by comedian John Mulaney, each episode will have a theme, a monologue, pre-taped sketches, guest stars, and musical performers and will air live on Netflix at 10pm EDT. There will be six episodes Sunday through Friday from May 5 to 10, 2024, as part of the Netflix is a Joke Festival. The first guest of the talk show, comedian Jerry Seinfeld, stated, "This is the weirdest show I have ever been on in my life" and later added "You’ve brought your amazing rehab zaniness to this show". In a June 2024 interview with Vanity Fair, Mulaney revealed he reached out to David Lynch, Werner Herzog, and Bo Burnham to appear on the show but they declined.

Influences
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. Character actor Richard Kind, himself a visiting dignitary from New York, assumes the traditional role of the sidekick".

Critical reviews
The series received positive reviews with Matthew Creith of TheWrap declaring, "[Mulaney] reinvents the late night format" adding "He’s that good and the eccentric show he’s built is delightfully nonsensical." 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". 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".

Michael Martin of The A.V. 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".
