Salesfoce Hired John Mulaney for a Set at Dreamforce, and It Went Great ⇥ sfstandard.com

Kevin V. Nguyen, San Francisco Standard:

In a wide-ranging, 45-minute set, [John] Mulaney did not hold back when it came to joking about the cartoonish conference, which aspired to be the “largest AI event in the world.”

“You’re an account executive at Top Low?” Mulaney asked an audience member, who clarified that she works at Tableau, a data visualization company. “You know in your goddamn bones that a bunch of you are working on products that are just OK, but you have to vamp and make up terms to make it sound more awesome than it is.”

I would like to know who managed to get Mulaney to play Dreamforce. I would like to know who passed him through layers of corporate bureaucracy and managerial sign-off, and I would like to give them a high-five.
