John Mulaney shared details about his drug relapse and return to rehab, including memories of the intervention staged by friends and fellow SNL alums like Seth Meyers and Fred Armisen
as a writer late last year. “I continued using drugs. You and some other friends staged an intervention, as you recall. I went to rehab again, this time for two months. I got out in February, I lived in sober living for another month and a half …Then in the spring I went to Los Angeles and met and started to date a beautiful woman named Olivia [Munn].
“I needed to be the smartest person in the room even at the intervention,” Mulaney recalled. “I remember saying to all of you, ‘Before you all read your letters, I have a drug problem and I need help, just to scoop you.'” “I was not under the influence while delivering [his ‘Royal Watch’ segment],” Mulaney said. “I had been under the influence the day before, and the day after I was probably under the influence … I was more sober than not. A lot of people were saying, ‘Something’s wrong with John Mulaney,’ and I was sitting at home saying, ‘Indeed something is.'”
At the end of Mulaney’s appearance, they both got serious, with Meyers calling the past year a “real rollercoaster.”
