The last episode from the four-day special 'House Hunters: Comedians on Couches' aired on HGTV on Thursday night. Joining comedians Dan Levy and Natasha Leggero to watch another classic episode of 'House Hunters' was returning guest and comedian John Mulaney. Mulaney also featured on the show last week when he joined Levy and Leggero to watch an episode featuring the couple Luke and Ryan and the terrible choice they made. And Mulaney's return for a second outing had fans excited. 

"@mulaney needs to guest host every episode of House Hunters: Comedians on Couches #hgtv 1000/10 would definitely recommend," wrote a fan on Twitter. While another wrote, "@mulaney judging the couples and houses on@hgtv 'House Hunters Comedians on Couches' is the only redeeming thing about 2020 so far." Another comment read, "I love this house hunters comedians on couches but ESPECIALLY when John Mulaney is on." 

Tonight, the trio watched the episode titled 'First Home in Indianapolis' featuring the couple Austin and Adrienne. The couple wanted to move out of their cramped two bed and one bath home into something bigger. He wanted a home with Tudor style of architecture whereas she wanted a mid-century modern home. They also wanted two entertaining spaces, two car garages, a basement to store Austin's bikes and soccer equipment, updated appliances in the kitchen and ample storage space. Also on their wishlist was an open space plan across the house. 

Levy noted that the people on 'HH' always love open concepts but Mulaney jokingly admitted that he loves "little rooms with doors and secrets". He also couldn't see why Austin was so obsessed with a wood-burning fireplace and deduced that he just wanted more carcinogens in his life. The first two houses both had the master bedrooms in the attic with too many corners and the comedians couldn't make sense of it. In one of the houses that the couple saw, the basement was barren and a lot of work needed to be put into it. On bringing this to the realtor's notice, the only advice the couple received in return was to get their creative juices flowing and design it on their own. Levy was quick to comment that this is the thing about 'HH' that kills him. "You don't really get creative, you just put a wallpaper, paint the walls, get a carpet and that's it." Mulaney joked that Levy really seemed to have had his creative juices flowing.
