    As a recent father of two, John Mulaney wants to stay sober, with the help of his wife Olivia Munn.

    In GQ’s Men of the Year cover story with the 42-year-old comedian, published online Tuesday, Mulaney and Munn shared some details about their family of four and what it took to get to a place where Mulaney says he’s “the best has time’. in life.”

    Although Mulaney’s star-studded intervention involving Fred Armisen, Nick Kroll, Natasha Lyonne and Seth Meyers has become folklore, Munn opened up in the GQ piece about her part in Mulaney’s sobriety journey.

    Munn told GQ that she staged an intervention for Mulaney when she was six months pregnant with their son, Malcolm Hiệp Mulaney, who is almost three years old. Together, the couple decided she would administer random drug tests – a practice they continue today, which boosts Mulaney’s confidence.

    “It’s like a relief,” Mulaney said. “I like that that question isn’t even on her or anyone else’s mind. Something about peeing in that cup is like, I’m walking this walk. It gives me confidence.”

    Mulaney was in rehab from December 2020 to February 2021, thanks in part to the intervention organized by his friends, with an addiction to cocaine, Adderall, Xanax, Klonopin and Percocet. Next month would mark four years of sobriety for the Emmy-winning “Baby J” comedian, and he has been asked to be part of several interventions for other people, he told GQ.

    “It was like watching a man in a tsunami,” Munn said of her partner’s recovery from addiction. “I was looking at someone who was just sober, at the edge of a cliff, and I didn’t know him well enough to help him.”

    “In my head I’m thinking, I don’t really know what’s happening to this guy. It feels pretty shaky,” she says. “But then I saw him at the Troubadour and I said, ‘Man, he’s on fire. He’s just phenomenal.’ “

    Expecting a baby boy was a bright spot for Mulaney at the time. Munn said, “That’s the only thing that made him seem light and happy. I remember him being very excited to tell his parents.”

    “It wasn’t anything close to ‘dating,’” Munn explained to GQ. “I barely knew him.”
