John Mulaney’s SNL joke comparing American politics to Julius Caesar didn’t make the Secret Service laugh

Usually we love the things John Mulaney does. The stand-up comedian has a bunch of Netflix specials that, as someone who was raised Catholic, I find particularly hilarious. When he isn’t ribbing the church, he’s schooling us all on friendship, teaching us what words are slurs and what ones aren’t (looking at you, “Karen”), and making appearances on Sesame Street shows, because why not? But like so many stand-up comedians, he can sometimes push the boundaries a little too far, and during this year’s election season, he did so on SNL.
