John Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunch is a 2019 musical comedy special produced for Netflix. The special stars John Mulaney as he hosts his own kid's program, featuring comedy skits, musical numbers, and celebrity guests.
At the top of the special, Mulaney acknowledges the show will harken back to the children's shows he watched as a kid. The special's home base set, the Sackett Street Garden, is not unlike the inner-city Sesame Street set.
The special's soundtrack more directly references Sesame Street by modeling the album (both CD and LP) after the titles released under the Sesame Street Records label. The center listing borrows the Sesame Street sign shape and replaces it with "Sackett Street" (with "DC," for Dark City, substituting CTW).
