Hey John,

You are my favorite comedian. I've been a huge fan ever since my friends and I found "The Best Meal I Ever Had" years ago. In fact, four of us ditched our school's dance last year to drive up from Chicago and see you perform some new material in Milwaukee, and I have never laughed harder. Whenever someone asks me for a new comedian to listen to, you are always the first person I suggest. I have them sit down and listen to both your albums in one sitting, and every single person I show becomes an instant fan. My friends and I subconsciously quote your specials on a regular basis without even realizing it.

Couple things...

  1. Will some of the new stuff you performed in your most recent tour be on Mulaney? My friends and I still quote the things you said that night to this day, and have been waiting for a new album to come out. We all agree a TV show is significantly better, but we can't wait to listen to that material over and over again.

  2. Can you give an example of something you changed for Bill Hader's "Stefon" that made him break character?

  3. What was your favorite thing you ever wrote for SNL?

  4. Favorite thing you wrote that didn't get aired/accepted?

  5. How much money would you go down on a guy for? (Also, what do you think of Pete Davidson?)

  6. Favorite stand-up comedians right now?

Thanks for all the laughter!

Hey man, I too have albinism (OCA-2), but I cannot stand the term "albino"... especially when being called one.

  1. How are you so cool with calling yourself an albino? I absolutely hate the word.

  2. I will also not be driving either. Instead of taking a Drivers Ed class, my school mandated I learn about public transportation instead. Do you just use public transportation to get around, and, if there is a slight possibility I might be able to get a daytime license, do you think it is worth it to get it at this point?

  3. Do you go to the NOAH Conferences?

  4. Ever have the "Why are you so pale dude? Get some sun." "I have albinism" "No you're not, albinos have red eyes, idiot!" exchange with people?

And thanks for doing this, I had no idea people had so many questions about albinism! Plus, it's nice to know I'm not the only one on reddit.

this is a great joke and I wish I could give you more than one upvote.

Hey Lin, I'm a huge fan of basically everything you've ever done (even the cut Usnavi rap at the top of Act 2), and I'm actually playing Usnavi next week in a concert for my Swing Choir's "In the Heights" Medley (I'll do it justice, I promise). Couple questions:

  1. How did your education affect your creative development? Was Wesleyan key to your development as an artist, or was it more of a gradual/natural thing?

  2. When will you be releasing more things from the Hamilton Mixtape for me to memorize? Do you think it's going to be a Broadway show? If so, can I book tickets right now?

  3. I cannot find "200 Cartas" anywhere online. IMDb says it came out last year, but I also can't seem to find anyone who's seen it... How can I watch it?

Thanks so much in advance for doing this, and thanks for being an inspiration to so many people (myself included).

P.S. Did you know that your "Travoltified" name is "Louisa Marftinez"?
