John Mulaney apologizes for his SNL joke implying it didn't matter who won the presidential election

The A.V. Club

“I forgot to make the joke good,” Mulaney told Jimmy Kimmel of his much-criticized joke in his Halloween night Saturday Night Live monologue saying it didn't matter which "elderly man" won the election because "nothing will change." Mulaney says the Secret Service investigated him over a monologue joke that didn't mention Trump's name. He made a joke about it being a leap year and how it was started by Julius Caesar "and another thing that happened with Caesar is that he was stabbed to death by a bunch of senators because he went crazy." "I guess they opened a file on me because of the joke," he told Kimmel. "Am I stoked there's a file open on me? Absolutely. Did I enjoy it in the moment? Not so much."
