HuffPost
The former "Saturday Night Live" writer spoke of his recovery journey and why he finds comfort in his wife's unconventional support system.
Comedian John Mulaney is sharing new insight into his experiences with drug addiction and the way his wife, Olivia Munn, has lent her support as he continues in recovery.
The former writer and host on “Saturday Night Live” was selected by GQ as the magazine’s 2024 Man of the Year ― and, in the accompanying interview, opened up about his old drug habits, which he viewed as his attempts at “self-medication.”
“There was a time when I would have told you that I could not fly, sleep, or perform unless I had a Klonopin,” he explained. “I thought I had serious light sensitivity onstage. Spotlights had to be at a super-low grade. The front row had to be lit, because I thought I had a spatial… not vertigo, but something like that. I would have said, ‘It sucks, because I don’t always want to take Klonopin and Xanax, but I have to.’ ”
Mulaney began a relationship with Munn in 2021, shortly after he completed a 60-day stint in rehab for cocaine and alcohol abuse. When Munn became pregnant with the couple’s first child, son Malcolm, she began giving Mulaney random drug tests.
Mulaney and Munn were married in July and welcomed a daughter, Méi, about two months later. As for Munn’s drug-testing practice, it continues to this day ― and the comedian has grown to be grateful for it.
