Hey, can I have a haircut?’ And you know that thing of when a junkie walks into your office and asks for a haircut and you’re like, Eh, would be faster to cut the hair? That’s what happened.” “At 7 p.m., coked out of my mind, I went up to the eighth floor of 30 Rockefeller Center, walked into the Emmy Award-winning hair department, and I said, ‘Hey, can I have a haircut?’” Mulaney recalls. I would have been a half-hour early to help set up chairs.”Īccording to Mulaney, he was running late to his own intervention because, among other things, he’d decided to get a haircut - at SNL, using his old ID, during the first year of the pandemic - prior to grabbing dinner with a college friend. “They were like, ‘ And you’re late!’ I was like, ‘Hey, if you wanted me here on time, you could have texted me: John, we have cocaine. So, when I got there, everyone was madder at me,” jokes Mulaney. The funniest parts of Baby J aren’t Mulaney’s childhood recollections, but his droll observations about his addiction, star-studded intervention, and rehab stint - including the reason(s) why he ran late to his own intervention. Rather, the “Baby J” of the title refers to Mulaney’s conception of his former, drug-addled self. The title of the special, which was filmed at Boston’s Symphony Hall, is a bit deceptive, as the comic mostly steers clear of his relationship change and fatherhood. Mulaney, now 40 years old, sober, and healthier-looking, emerged from the Sturm und Drang with an hour and change of new material that he’s brought to the eyes of the world in John Mulaney: Baby J, a wonderfully candid Netflix stand-up special premiering April 25. (He was even investigated by the Secret Service for telling a Trump joke.) Those admirers’ Twitter fingers went into overdrive when, in September 2021, Mulaney and his new partner, the actress Olivia Munn, shared that they were expecting a child together. He left two months later, and in May 2021, announced that he would be separating from his wife of nearly seven years, Annamarie Tendler, who’d been such a fixture in his stand-up sets and social media channels that fans of his had formed parasocial relationships with them. ![]() In December 2020, Mulaney’s pals - Seth Meyers, Bill Hader, and Fred Armisen among them - staged an intervention, prompting the comic to check into a rehab facility for addiction to alcohol, cocaine, and prescription drugs. There is a good chance Netflix won't pick this up for 2nd season.It’s been a turbulent few years for John Mulaney, the former SNL writer and ace stand-up comic. In the end, I wouldn't really recommend it. ![]() A bit dark cinematography that sets the mood just right. ![]() The finale is the only fun episode of the whole series but it ends in very cheesy cheap cliffhanger. Most of the episodes seemto be pointless. During the whole run there are so many suprises and questions but in the end it doesn't answer any of it. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, except it leads to nowhere. I see bright future for them in Hollywood.Ģ. The other 2 main actresses are very believable with excellent acting abilities. She hardly can pass as a cunning, cheating, hardened coach who is determined to win at all costs. The actress has a cute baby face and petite body. The casting is superb actually, except for the coach. Slow burning teen thriller with terrible plotline.ġ. ![]()
