John Mulaney will bring two new John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch specials to Comedy Central, Variety reports.
"I was an intern at Comedy Central when I was barely older than the kids in the 'Sack Lunch Bunch,'" Mulaney said. "I wasn't a very good intern, so I am psyched they hired me again. We are thrilled to bring these specials to Comedy Central: a place where I have had so many good times."
