People also seem to forget that he’s talked candidly, via his comedy, about how he was essentially a child alcoholic, who had to get sober, for the first time, by 23. Mulaney was branded, for better or worse, as a “nice guy.” He’s a clean-cut comedian with the baby face of an old-timey newsboy, who performs in suits and generally has big “gee whiz” energy. Many people felt betrayed because they thought they knew him “how could he do that to her?” quickly became “how could he do that to us?”, effectively bringing the psychology term “parasocial relationship” into the mainstream. The online reaction to Mulaney’s personal life was… heated.
It’s a timeline that had people doing some math. They welcomed a baby boy in November 2021. His new relationship with actress Olivia Munn went public, also in May of 2021. A highly publicized divorce from artist Anna Marie Tendler followed in May 2021. He relapsed and went back to rehab in February 2021. Those well-versed in the world of, to borrow Mulaney’s words, “alternative comedians over the age of 40” know the past couple years have been intense ones for the Chicago-born comedian, who was a writer on Saturday Night Live (perhaps most famously as the co-creator of the beloved Bill Hader character Stefon) and has four comedy specials to his name, including 2018’s Emmy-winning Kid Gorgeous.Ī quick recap: Mulaney went to rehab for cocaine and prescription drug abuse following an intervention in December 2020. If you’re a Mulaney fan, you can hear this T-shirt, his Midwestern vocal affect really hitting the “outta.” “Rehab” follows as the seemingly incongruous punchline, especially since this tour is also branded with a childhood school photo of Mulaney. So reads the tour T-shirts from comedian John Mulaney’s current From Scratch tour, which made its way to Canada Life Centre on Oct.
“I saw him right after he got outta rehab.”
