John Mulaney's Dark Jokes About Sobriety Have Everyone Cracking Up

John Mulaney made fun of himself on a recent episode of "Saturday Night Live." In his monologue, the comedian talked about everything from the birth of his son to his divorce and a few other dark times in his life, including his struggle with sobriety. "In December of 2020, I went to dinner at a friend's apartment," he said in the opening. "But it was not dinner. It was an intervention. For me. My least favorite kind of intervention." Mulaney then took the joke a bit further. "Do you know how big of a drug problem you have to have if you open a door and see people gathered, and your first thought is, 'This is probably an intervention about my drug problem?'" he said.

In addition, the comedian told a story about his time in rehab when he sat down with a counselor and had to delete his drug dealer from his phone. Mulaney explained that he told the drug dealer he was blocking him in a nice way. "But I'm really polite, so I didn't know how to end the text, so I said, 'But thank you, for all the nights that became days and your inspired professionalism,'" he joked.

Mulaney has been pretty open and honest with his struggles with drugs and alcohol. According to Vulture, the star went to a 60-day rehab program where he reportedly did well.
