Something about peeing in that cup is like, I\u2019m walking this walk. It gives me confidence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At one point in time, John felt like he couldn&#8217;t function without drugs.<\/p>\n<p>He said: &#8220;There was a time when I would have told you that I could not fly, sleep, or perform unless I had a Klonopin. I would have said, \u2018It sucks because I don\u2019t always want to take Klonopin and Xanax, but I have to.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nLast year, meanwhile, John joked that a &#8220;star-studded intervention&#8221; helped to save his life.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe comedian sought treatment for alcoholism and cocaine addiction in 2020, and John joked about his recovery in his Netflix comedy special, &#8216;John Mulaney: Baby J&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe TV star &#8211; who has Malcolm, two, and Mei, two months, with Olivia &#8211; said: &#8220;Let me just call this out now, I don&#8217;t mean to be weird. It was a star-studded intervention. It was, like, a good group.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It was a good group. As mad as I was when I walked in there, I was like, this is a good line-up, this is really flattering in its own way.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;It was like a &#8216;We Are the World&#8217; of alternative comedians over the age of 40. All comedians. Yet no one said a funny thing the entire night.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/john-mulaney-reveals-olivia-munn-helped-fight-addiction-1408964.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>13 November 2024 Olivia Munn administered random drug tests for John Mulaney at the height of his addiction struggles.
