John Mulaney Gives Shoutout to His and Olivia Munn’s 2 Kids at SNL
Olivia Munn and John Mulaney Welcome Baby No. 2
John Mulaney took a break from dad duty to host Saturday Night Live.
But that doesn’t mean that his wife Olivia Munn and their two children—son Malcom, 2, and daughter Méi June, 1 month—were far from his mind when the comedian stepped onto the stage Nov. 2 in New York City. In fact, the family of four’s dynamic became a key joke in his opening monologue, during which he updated the audience on his life in the two years since he last hosted.
“My wife and I just welcomed a baby girl into our family,” John noted in his speech. “We have a five-week-old daughter, and a 2-year-old son. My wife takes care of the five-week-old, and I take the 2-year-old out. And that’s not fair.”
“That’s not an equal distribution of labor at all,” he joked. “Saying, “You have a five-week-old, I’ll take a 2-year-old.’ That’s like saying, ‘I’ll transport this convict across state lines. You hold a potato.’”
And at the close of the show, John once again gave a sweet shoutout to his family.
“Goodnight Malcom,” he said with a wave. “Goodnight Méi.”
