In one regular segment of John Mulaney’s Netflix talkshow Everybody’s Live, the comedian and his guests take audience calls about the topic of the week. On the dinosaur-themed week, as well as an overwhelmed small boy and a legendary paleontologist, one caller announces himself as Chuck, an author of – among many other things – dinosaur erotica. “I think my most famous and award-winning [book] would be Space Raptor Butt Invasion,” he explains politely. “It was nominated for a Hugo award.”
One of Mulaney’s guests, actor Ayo Edebiri, asks if he’d won. “I didn’t win, but then I wrote a book called Pounded By My Hugo Award Loss, because you can write erotica about just about anything,” Chuck replies.
