John Mulaney talks about his marriage to actress Olivia Munn.
The comedian appeared on “Late Night With Seth Meyers” on Monday night and revealed details about his marriage to the “The Newsroom” actress, telling the late-night talk show host that he “got married, thank you very much, it’s the best.”
Munn’s mother, Kim Schmid, was in the audience at the show and Mulaney joked, “Hi, mom,” and told Meyers, “I call her mom now.”
“I’ve been in a lot of interesting situations. Marrying into a big Vietnamese family is one of the funniest things I’ve ever done,” he joked with his classic dry humor, before telling Meyers, “But they’re the best, man.” He added that marrying Munn was “the absolute best time of my life.”

Mulaney and Munn were married last month in a small ceremony at a family friend’s home in upstate New York. Their 2-1/2-year-old son, Malcolm, and a best man were the only wedding guests, and Munn’s “The Newsroom” co-star Sam Waterston officiated.
During an April interview for My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman, Mulaney told the late-night legend that he felt truly complete after he and Munn welcomed Malcolm on November 24, 2021.
“I was totally blown away when I met him,” the former “SNL” writer told Letterman. “I was like, ‘Oh, there you are. You’re the thing I couldn’t find.’ I looked in not so good places.”

Mulaney described Munn’s pregnancy as a “big surprise” for both of them. “We were really like, ‘Hmm,'” he said, drawing laughter from the audience. He says the sense of security he felt knowing how much his parents cared for each other is something he and Munn want to emulate. “So Olivia and I are trying to show Malcolm how much we love each other.”
It’s been a year of ups and downs for Munn and Mulaney. The actress revealed in March that she was privately battling breast cancer and underwent four surgeries, including a bilateral mastectomy.
In an Instagram post at the time, the actress thanked Mulaney for “the nights he spent researching what each surgery and medication meant and what side effects and recovery I should expect.”
