In the clip below recently released on Netflix's YouTube channel, Mulaney says of working with Jagger, "I pitched him a joke, and he went, 'NOT FUNNY!' I mean, people say that on the internet, but never to your face does a British billionaire in leather pants go, 'NOT FUNNY!'"
Mulaney then recalls spending two hours with Jagger writing a song for a sketch, and apparently, the songwriting process for Mulaney was a little unique. Honestly, just watch the video below to see how everything plays out. It provides for a great laugh.
