PageSix covers it, too.

[quote] When Mulaney was a teenager, his parents sent him to a psychiatrist, who told him that he was one part nice kid, one part “gorilla that wants to kill the other half.”

But who is the teacher, and who is the student?

[quote]Mulaney, who was a staff writer at “SNL,” has been seen hanging out with fellow comedian Pete Davidson, saying that one of his goals has been to show Davidson that “you can have a life in comedy that is not insane — a sober, domestic life.”

Sorry John, you can't drink the gay away.

I hope he'll finally come to terms with his sexuality.

This is from one of his comedy routines. He talks about his father, Leonard Bernstein, and Gay.

[quote] My dad's a very weird, informal guy. A lot of people ask me if he gave me a sex talk. Yes. I think. I was like 12 years old and my dad walked up to me and he said, “Hello… Hello, I'm Chip Mulaney. I’m your father.” And then he said the following, “You know, Leonard Bernstein was one of the great composers and conductors of the 20th century, but sometimes he would be gay. And according to a biography I read of him, when he was holding back the gay part, he did some of his best work.”

[quote] Now we don't have time to unpack all of that. And I don't know if he was discouraging me from being gay or encouraging me to be a classical composer. But that is how he thought to phrase it to a 12-year-old boy. How would that ever work? Like years later, I'd be in college about to go down on some rocking twink and I'd be like, “Wait a second. What would Leonard Bernstein do?” I've never talked to my dad about that, but I figured I would tell all of you.

Where is the Golden Girls "WHO??!!?!!!" gif when you need it, Muriel?

John Mulaney is one of the few comedians who can make me laugh. And I always loved the fact he could mock his gay-adjacent sexuality. Personally I'm worried about Petunia.

Closet cases bore me. Unfunny and overrated. Bye drunko!

Maybe he is an anomaly, a straight guy who has gay mannerisms.

How even more unfunny he will be on his inevitable Recovery Tour.

TBH, I always admire the thin alkies.

I knew this would happen when he started hanging out with Pete Davidson.

Why can’t he just stick to caffeine and cannabis like the rest of us?

I've always though his personality was an artifice. The "gee wiz I'm just a kid from the midwest" thing was obviously fake.

I didn’t realize he’s married.

Unfunny, uncharismatic and bland. How is he successful? Oh that's right, Lorne loves those types of guys.

Here's his routine where he explains what it's like having Trump as president.

I get that there are gay-acting straight guys, but the story at R6 screams "trying too hard."

Everyone is Pete Davidson's circle goes to shit.

His "I was supposed to be gay" routine:

I loathe "John Mulaney" in the sense that I always hate his characters. The actual person, I have no idea. Hope he recovers.

R21 But his father died on 9/11 so we have to be sensitive to his needs, even if that means letting him destroy others.

I still want to bury my tongue in his hole and have him slap me repeatedly with his cock.

[quote]I've always though his personality was an artifice. The "gee wiz I'm just a kid from the midwest" thing was obviously fake.

He has talked pretty openly about his sobriety problems (and nervous issues) and it seems like when he drank regularly he really went for it and was a mess. He started young. He also mentioned sleeping around a lot during that period and even stealing. He has always come off as a slightly "gay-adjacent" (as someone put it above) smart kid who partied too hard but I don't think he ever really hid his issues.

He had a few bits in his comedy special, "New In Town" where he talked about it. Here's one.

And another time, sadly there's no video for these but his story about how he used to get black out drunk, and wake up with more money in his pockets but not know how he got it. Here he says he used to mix pills with his alcohol.

He also says he started drinking when he was 13.

Why doesn’t Lorne Michael just buy a rehab? He could fill it easy with cast, ex cast, and guest hosts.

Yep. Mulaney has talked about how he was an alchy and a cokehead when he was younger. You never stop being an addict, you just to successfully resist.

I do agree that him trying to help Pete Davidson clearly lead to Pete pulling him back into old habits.

It would honestly not shock me if he was into guys but TBH that would not make a difference on his addiction history. The Irish are just like addicts. I read Angela’s Ashes.

Aren’t straight alkies notorious for getting blow jobs when drunk?

Does she give her hole for drugs like Zac Efron does?

He's been a mess on Seth Myers. When did he fall off the wagon?

It must be bad, to go right before Christmas.

Damn, this kind of shocked me. I hope he gets some decent help to sort out his issues.

I meant I want to run into when he’s drunk then.

It’s weird because Pete has been looking so healthy and put together lately that I though he might actually be working his sobriety with the support he’s getting from John, but maybe not. So do we think John has been out with the party crowd and doing this, or in secret trying to hide it even from his wife?

"Working his sobriety?"

What does that mean? Some AA BS rah-rah doublespeak?

He's a cocaine freak who loves booze. He never quit, he just did the "Recovery" spiel and you all fell for it.

Somehow this is Andy Dick's fault.

A lot of recovering alcoholics and addicts have relapsed this year. Can you blame them?

He stopped touring, had to quarantine with his wife for 8 months and now they're ready to get divorced. She must have drove him crazy and vice versa.

I just read that he took a writing job on Late Night with Seth Meyers? Which is kind of an odd career move, like yeah something must be off, he has to be laying low for a bit.

R42 He probably makes the bulk of his money from touring and appearances and without those happening may have needed some income and Seth put him on staff as a life line.

He's very close with Seth Myers, so if he wants to stay away from the constant stressing and ass-kissing SNL requires, it's a good move.

He's relied on the structure of touring and TV projects to keep him sober.

This year, he's had nothing to do except when he hosted SNL. I would probably go off the rails too.

He's also the voice on Big Mouth cartoon on Netflix. However, he should have gotten his own tv show by now. I think he's funnier than Seth.

[Quote] Annamarie Tendler (Mulaney's wife) changing her name then deleting her ig account

Combined with the "transparency" about rehab, I'd wager that he cheated with someone underage.

[Quote] However, he should have gotten his own tv show by now.

He did have a TV show. It was on FOX, and it flopped. He literally tried to make his own Seinfeld.

So did his wife leave him because of falling off the wagon, or did he fall off the wagon because his wife left him?

I was going to be the new Elaine!

Has Frasier or Niles commented?

r6 He's a comedian. That means you have no idea where the content actually comes from. Could be his experience, something that happened to a friend, something a friend wrote for him, something he came up with on his own, a variation on a joke he read or heard elsewhere....

Has Pete commented and taken responsibility yet?

r43 In an interview, he said he took a job at Late Night because his therapist suggested he needed some structure and regular work. Apparently we can now read into what was going on there and that he had fallen off the wagon.

What’s the latest in life one can come out at? Is he still in the window?

If you’re going to lay down with dogs (Pete) you’re going to get fleas.

I'd sooner DIE than give up on Pete Davidson!

Is it because Lorne needs at least one cast member who can get him the good drugs?

he annoys me for some reason. but it's been a hard year for many. hope he somehow gets better. it really is a lifelong battle.

I always thought he and Conan were gay. Irish Catholics with a ton of repressed guilt.

This news is extra important because he’s cute.

Anyone know his dealer's number?

I don't think Conan is gay, but I think John Mulaney is.

What makes it even harder for him to be gay is that comedy is notoriously homophobic, plus he hangs out with very hot straight guys (Seth Myers, Colin Jost) that he obviously adores.

*WHOM he obviously adores.

Sorry.

Oh, yeah. I can imagine Seth Myers holding him outside a building by his legs if he found out Mulaney was gay...

R31 "Aren’t straight alkies notorious for getting blow jobs when drunk?"

Yes, everything that porn teaches you about human sexual behavior is true.

And don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Seth pings harder than John to me.

Yes, you're right, OP

[quote] Irish curse.

Even Irishmen tell me it's their curse.

[Quote]Yes, everything that porn teaches you about human sexual behavior is true.

75% of DLers truly believe this.

Both Seth and John played gay hookups for Billy on Difficult People. John was an old timey guy and Seth was part of a dog park extortion ring.

So was the "I was born 75% gay" bit him inching his way out and his handlers shoved him back in the closet? Hope he gets the help he needs in rehab.

[quote]John was an old timey guy and Seth was part of a dog park extortion ring.

The old timey guy who gave Billy a BJ in a sauna who turned out to have a secret room with Nazi memorabilia.

I really miss that show. They did manage to get him shirtless.

John was pretty adorable with Tan France.

Wow r76, he is one of those guys that look so much better clothed. When reality destroys the fantasy.

This was the asshole who, the week before the election said on national television (on SNL) that nothing would change if you vote for Biden. He can choke on his own vomit for all I care.

I hope we won’t have to “cancel” him in a few weeks time.

[quote]Irish curse

OP they found that out when he was in rehab? Was it during the physical?

Limp dick doesn't affect rehab admission.

He is not cute. He is not funny. He has a dark tortured soul that he can barely conceal beneath his skin. He is gay, gay, gay, gay, gay. It comes as no surprise that he is also a drunk and a drug addict.

Good luck in rehab. Now go away.

Why are Irish such drunks?

[quote]Where is the Golden Girls "WHO??!!?!!!" gif when you need it, Muriel?

Jesus Christ you're so fucking old.

[Quote] Why are Irish such drunks?

Romantics Meet Cold Reality.

I'm not going to repost it here, but I explained what I heard has been happening to him in the last post in this thread.

I love him (Sack Lunch Bunch remains the funniest thing I've seen all year), but he seems like he'd be a mean drunk. His wife probably gave him an ultimatum.

[quote]He stopped touring, had to quarantine with his wife for 8 months and now they're ready to get divorced. She must have drove him crazy and vice versa.

You spend 8 months holed up with a JAP and then tell me how your mental health and sobriety got destroyed.

[Quote] Apparently, like with a lot of people, the pandemic got to Mulaney pretty bad. He's been having problems for a while with being forced into quarantine and not being able to go perform on the standup circuit. It was especially problematic because John was having financial problems even before it happened. With the pandemic cutting back on his work schedule, they went from a one income household (his) to a no income household since Anna doesn't work. Under a lot of stress, not to mention palling around with Pete Davison, he just kind of snapped. The whole "I took the job with Seth Meyers to have a normal routine" shtick is a lie. He needed the cash.

[Quote] All of this stress just kind of broke him. The pressure got too much and he started lashing out at Anna and they've had a lot of fights. At a certain point, she threatened to divorce him if he didn't get help for his problems, which are largely mental health problems, not so much drug related. He gave in, trying to save his marriage. She has not filed for divorce, yet, but it seems like it may be coming.

He hasn't got any cash put aside? He must have never given up the white stuff.

There's a ton of material in rehab. John, call us in sixty days.

R90 why doesn’t his wife work? She’s not married to Jerry Seinfeld, it might be smart to cushion that household income

So two gay adjacent guys are hanging out, John and Seth. What's the probability that happens by accident.

Seth is the hawter one even now, with what has to be a big Jewish cock.

Wikipedia describes his wife as a "lampshade artisan"

Why would anyone in recovery hang out with Pete Davidson???

[quote] Seth is the hawter one even now, with what has to be a big Jewish cock.

If Seth has a Jewish cock, it wouldn't be attached.

R97, he loves Pete’s big dick.

How could he have financial problems? Yes I know coke is expensive but he should have millions in the bank.

R6 I have no idea if he delivered that “funny” but on paper that’s pretty funny/brilliant , which comedy hits almost never are (it’s almost always all in the delivery).

How was he both quarantining AND hanging out with Pete Davidson?

[quote] [R97], he loves Pete’s big dick.

And what does he say about Pete's hideously tatted and completely toneless body?

R99, thought the same thing.

R98, Seth is a quarter Jewish but that quarter is all in his cock.

Pete had abs in one of those movies this year. Skinny guy abs, but whatever.

Pete is having his tats faded.

R100 It's not like John was ever rolling in the dough. Before all of this, he was a writer (not even head writer) on SNL, had a failed sitcom and did Broadway and a few standup specials. It's not like he's starring in big Hollywood blockbusters or the lead on a successful TV series. He did ok, but not enough to sustain his wife going to "pursue her passion" as a makeup artist in beauty school. As R94 said, she didn't marry Jerry Seinfeld. She needed to pay her dues and maybe that's where part of the tension came from. If she divorces him (which could happen, though I'm not sure if she'll go through with it) her next boyfriend will absolutely be someone with money. She's a JAP first and foremost.

[quote] How could he have financial problems? Yes I know coke is expensive but he should have millions in the bank.

For people with addiction histories, spending money and overspending can be a scratch for their compulsion.

I’m surprised he didn’t have a big Netflix deal.

I doubt his wife's attendance at make up school is breaking the bank. As someone said, he's probably the one overspending.

Even people with a decent to large income can have money problems if they get badly advised or invest in stuff that doesn't pay off. More than one celebrity lost a lot of money with bad real estate deals and on the stock exchange.

Big disked South American hos, and blow.

R110 It certainly isn't helping during a pandemic where John's ability to work is extremely limited and they live in a $2 million apartment in a city with high taxes and high cost of living.

R109, His "Sack Lunch Bunch" show on Netflix did well but Comedy Central paid him more to do two more Sack Lunch Bunch specials. So he turned down Netflix and decided to take the show there.

Mulaney could probably easily get a series or even movie roles if he wanted them (even Colin Jost is doing a movie) but the fact that he was sticking to touring and Netflix specials seems to indicate he preferred that lifestyle. Unfortunately the pandemic put an end to that.

r107 you're probably right. The wife doesn't work and probably wanted to live a lifestyle that Mulaney couldn't afford. Like you said, it's not like he has Seinfeld money.

Is the touring life a wise choice for an addict?

R19 Mulaney is a lazy piece of shit. That whole bit was not only in one of his comedy specials that's streaming on Netflix but also in another one he did especially for Netflix. Half of one of his Netflix specials was old material. I hope they only paid him for the fresh half.

How miserable was his childhood that he started drinking at 13 ?

He doesnt look bloated and he looks like he bathes, he is nowhere near JOnathan rhys myers territory.

He's from a wealthy family.

[quote]Why would anyone in recovery hang out with Pete Davidson???

Because they don't want to be in recovery anymore.

As the saying goes, sober people who relapse don't get "struck drunk" — they ease into putting themselves in positions (mentally or physically) in which they'll be able to justify drinking/using again.

Isn't this sort of like when Andy Dick lured that guy in the cast of "Suddenly Susan" into relapsing?

Yeah, I second that---why doesn't his wife work? That's a lot of pressure to put on the guy. They're probably living above their means. He needs to find another celebrity like himself or someone in the business who actually works.

What is the source for that account, R90?

It sounds plausible.

[quote]yeah, I second that---why doesn't his wife work? That's a lot of pressure to put on the guy.

She's a JAP. She wanted to sit home and be a princess all day. Guess what honey? Be careful what you wish for.

Wow never realized how cute and good-looking he was. I hope he gets better. He's pretty funny

Are you really suggesting this booze hound has lost it because he doesn't split the bills with his wife?

R129 She works... Sort of. "Annamarie Tendler Mulaney is an American makeup artist, writer, and lampshade designer. She is also the author of Pin It!: 20 Fabulous Bobby Pin Hairstyles and The Daily Face: 25 Makeup Looks for Day, Night, and Everything In Between!"

So enough with your princess insinuations. For all we know, the lampshade business is booming.

R132, I wonder if she'll make me one when I get my $600 Stimulus 2 check.

Do people still buy lampshades? This would be a great joke for Mulaney's next routine.

Odd that his BFF is Pete Davidson, Mulaney is 11 years older than him. People with such a big age difference aren't usually that tight with each other.

I’ve seen him live 4 times. He’s always joked about his alcoholism. This is so sad. Another victim of the pandemic. He will be fine.

[Quote] Odd that his BFF is Pete Davidson, Mulaney is 11 years older than him. People with such a big age difference aren't usually that tight with each other.

[quote] He’s always joked about his alcoholism

Alcoholism is NO laughing matter, R138!

Down with laughing! More time for drinking!

I know a girl who fucked Seth around 10 years ago. She said he was great, brilliant, and had a very nice big dick.

Seth has big dick energy.

What else did she say, R142? Did he eat her pussy? Blow inside her?

I'd love to get a piece of that.

Mulaney, Davidson and Nick Kroll are all closeted bisexuals. They probably get together often for jack-off sessions.

I'm not sure how people are drawing the conclusion that his marriage is on the rocks from an IG deletion or that he is having financial problems. Doesn't Netflix pay a zillion dollars for every project? Mulaney is in everything. Let's not give the guy more problems than he already has.

Nick Kroll isn't that closeted. I saw appreciative body comments he left on a low level comedian's Insta a while back.

[Quote] Doesn't Netflix pay a zillion dollars for every project?

I would like to see it.

Maybe his wife deleted her social media to keep fans and media creeps from bugging her about John while he's in rehab.

Is it covered by insurance?

[Quote] Maybe his wife deleted her social media to keep fans and media creeps from bugging her about John while he's in rehab.

Why did she change her name before deletion?

Where the hell did that naked photo of Seth come from? Which SNL skit? I'm googling but I'm not getting a hit. That's hot!

Why did John, I mean John Mulaney (seems so weird just saying his first name by itself), announce that he was going to rehab? This hurts his wholesome, old timey image he’s built up. Why not just keep it a secret and maintain that image. Now everyone looks at him differently.

Seth's mostly naked appearance was in a commercial for "Short & Curlies pube shampoo."

Not one of their finest comic efforts, but I've lusted for Seth ever since.

Other DLers have posted that he actually likes showing off at the gym (Equinox in NYC) and has been seen taking a very leisurely approach to changing clothes.

John is 10x hotter than Seth or Andy Samberg. He’s a FOX, straight out of a 1940s picture.

Always loved that one. Yes, for the guys and near-nudity, not necessarily the writing.

[quote] John is 10x hotter…

Only from the neck up.

To have been in the audience of that skit and seen all the cast members dongs.

R28 The Lorne Michaels Clinic should be the east coast Betty Ford. I like Mulaney. Other than this relapse, he seems pretty unproblematic. I wish him well.

I think John Mulaney has one of the most shockingly attractive faces and personalities of anyone alive today. He's an anachronism. A unicorn. I love him and I wish him well.

I think Mulaney is cute...but sadly, he does look better with his clothes on.

So what if he's hot? He a drunk, his cock doesn't work!

I don't find him attractive at all, he looks very lower class Irish (I know that's redundant).

He may not be problematic. But he's troublesome. Damned troublesome.

[Quote] So what if he's hot? He a drunk, his cock doesn't work!

We get it. You're a bottom.

He is not cute at all at R163 and R161. He looks like Reviewbrah!

R152 that stupid Deuxmoi IG was leaking stuff from fans about the wife deleting her Instagram and there was speculation over a divorce. I imagine this was the problem instead. I actually wish more celebs would go to rehab and normalize treatment and getting better. Relapse is an unfortunate part of the cycle and Mulaney was sober for a long time. Beats hiding the problem behind projects or a PR relationship (like Jon Hamm)

Damn, John is really scrawny. He's definitely hotter in his suits.

I think a lot of these SNL and SNL-adjacent comedians are bi.

I was cruised by Will Forte in an NYC store when he was on the show. He was super-blatant. I was an awkward twunk and had no idea how to respond. I kick myself to this day because I thought he was so cute.

I see now that he's 50 and finally engaged to a girlfriend.

I am a huge fan and have a BIG crush or lust after him. He is my type of man. I would gladly rim him deep!!! Super funny!

Is addiction really a disease or is that just what they say?

R168 based on R90's info, looks like it was a mix of the substances & marital trouble. Feel bad for them. Comedians are really taking a hit during this pandemic.

John could easily be mistaken for a 30s/40s movie star. I could see him opposite Greer Garson or Davis. And that voice! Yum!

R94 I think she's billed as a makeup artist, which has also been hit during the pandemic. She also makes funky lampshades. Not much income there.

[Quote] Mulaney was sober for a long time.

How do you know that?

R178 well, he claimed to be sober since 23. He's 38 now. If it's true, that's a decent run.

[quote] Is addiction really a disease or is that just what they say?

Drunks who cry out for sympathy call it a disease, R74. People who take responsibility for themselves do not.

He's obviously straight if he thinks the twink is the one you go down on and not the other way around.

No doubt his marriage is on the rocks, he spent 8 months at home and drove his wife crazy.

She's probably sick of his drunk ass and limp dick. Before he went on the road and spent time away etc so it was bearable but not anymore.

I’m a drunk (recovering thankfully) I call it an allergy. I’m allergic to alcohol. When I take it I have an abnormal reaction to it. It is genetic. All the men in my family are drunks too, and a few of the women.

So Mulvaney admits he loves cocaine, and we're supposed to believe he's never had a cock in his mouth?

Sure Jan.

He may be straight but he could be the type of guy who would let you suck him off when drunk/high etc

Love him. Best comedian going. All comedians are damaged on some level. Wishing him all the best.

What is with all the Irish bashing in this thread? LAME

Is addiction really genetic? Have scientists found the alcoholic gene?

I had many friends in college who would say, I'm not a drunk, I'm Irish!

I wonder if he turns into a nasty, angry cunt when drunk.

Also, whatever he made, probably went up his nose.

I love him. He's the epitome of the cute guy-next-door who I wanted to be my boyfriend in high school and college.

Separately: He's a very clever comic who has brought a lot of people a lot of joy.

I hope he gets the help he needs. A lot of us—no matter where or who you are—hit the rocks at this age: late 30s, early 40s.

R190 he’s talked about it a lot in his stand up. He is a nasty violent drunk.

R188 …Irish bashing…

Colm Tóibín is an excellent Irish novelist (who I consider one of the three best gay novelists alive today).

About ten years ago he acknowledged that his people were infantilised and kept in a state of 'arrested development'.

He said that they were infantilised by the English landlords for a few centuries, the Catholic Church for a millennia and, briefly, by the European Common Market subsidies.

Now it seems the Irish people are currently in the process of shaking off the Catholic Church.

I've spoken to many Irishmen and they acknowledge they've been infantilised by their addiction to alcohol.

R192 wow...I can't see him doing that....guess we all have demons.

He did grow up wealthy/privileged, but he had a brother who died when he was a kid. It's on his Wikipedia page and he's mentioned it in interviews, but never went into the details. That had to have an impact on him.

Meh - rehab, if done well, can be a great vacation depending on the location.

And the post above about his 'aw shucks I'm from the Midwest' stuff is all fantasy. Both of his parents are attorneys in Chicago. He grew up in a house (very expensive) in Lincoln Park and went to Francis Parker, an expensive elite private school in Chicago. HIs parents had a summer home in Lake Geneva, which has tons of mansions for the upper class of Chicago.

He grew up in one of the wealthiest urban environments in the nation, with access to everything.

I don't think any of this commentary on his "wholesome image" or "aw shucks" persona is accurate. He's always been straightforward about being an addict, and while he hasn't directly talked about his family's privilege directly it's always been obvious if you read between the lines in his standup material.

Please skip over one of those "directly"s.

O'Buck would never have been a drunk.

[quote]As a teen-ager, I was just incredibly emotional. I didn’t realize that if I held it together just ten per cent more my life would be a lot easier. I had a lot of meltdowns, telling people how much I liked them and falling into despair. I always thought you were supposed to tell a girl how much you liked them. In the movies, that was the only thing that worked—really spelling it out. And I started to feel like I was more myself when I was nine, ten, eleven than I was between the ages of fourteen and twenty-three.

Anytime anyone says "people" in a dating context, my antenna goes up.

^ he says "girl" in the very next sentence

r202 = Nancy Drew, Girl Detective

Totally straight guys don't say, "telling people how much I liked them and falling into despair."

They say, "telling girls how much I liked them and falling into despair."

"Them" can just be plural, hon.

There's also the issue of his brother dying when he was young, around which there seems to be a total media blackout — doesn't look like he's ever discussed it.

It could have been an accident John was involved in, or some bolt out of the blue like cancer, and either option would be enough to fuck someone up for life.

You're not suggesting John is another...

One of keys to if John fooled around with guys when he’s drunk is that he admits to being a blackout drunk, who doesn’t remember a thing, and sometimes makes considerable amounts of money. So not only does he fuck guys when drunk, but also escorts and then conveniently forgets all of it. Maybe going back on the bottle was a way to raise funds during his economic downturn and struggles, my money’s on Pete as being his pimp making all these deals and doing it at a high end level since how he’s a celebrity. Being a sloppy drunk its more likely that nudes and sextapes will leak soon. Perhaps John in the midst of a raunchy gangbang?

[quote]Has Frasier or Niles commented?

"John Mulaney can have kittens in the oven, but that don't make them biscuits!"

At :29, John remembers blacking out drunk and waking up with more money than he started out with:

I never expected this thread to take me to the conclusion that John Mulaney is a poz ex-hooker.

And people who keep saying he has a "wholesome" image that he's built up never actually listened to anything he's said during his standup. If anything he's implied that he looks one way but he acts another. The same goes for people shocked that his parents had money. He's talked about their professions before and implied his dad was pretty cold and intellectual and his mother was less so but still very much a lawyer.

Otherwise Monique can tell you what they'll pay you. They offered her $500,000. They offered Wanda Sykes $250,000. In the end Comedy Central offered him more money for the Sack Lunch Bunch than they did so they probably weren't paying him much at all. (Especially since that cast of kids all need to get paid.)

It's all Timothée Chalamet's fault.

[quote] my money’s on Pete as being his pimp making all these deals and doing it at a high end level since how he’s a celebrity

That's the most hilarious thing I've read on this thread.. I wish Mulaney and Davidson could read this, maybe they will use it in their next routine. Perhaps this is why Davidson has been looking healthy and fatter these days.

Davidson accompanies Mulaney to every hotel suite he visits. Pete sits around eating room service while John does his dirty deeds.

Pete waits outside the bedroom door and keeps a switchblade on him just in case the clients get rough with John.

A lot od people think John is a millionaire, but where would have earned this mythical millions? He spent most of his career as a TV writer, and only found monetary success through his Netflix deals. But he's not Dave Chapelle or Amy Schumer, so even if he signed for a cool million, that's nothing once agents & company get their cut.

Besides, Netflix offers all the money upfront, which denies talent royalties and other sweeteners that have historically kept actors afloat for years.

These wealth net worth sites are notoriously unsubstantiated, but they put his worth at 5 million dollars.

This article alone indicates he has a 2 bedroom apartment in the West Village, therapy bills, and a wife with a personal trainer. None of those things are cheap.

He tours regularly, and now does multiple shows in sizeable venues, and I have to think stand up comedy is one of the most profitable things you can do as a performer since the overhead is so low.

R222 Hits the nail on the head, Timothee hosting SNL is obviously what pushed John over the edge, not only does the wife have a thing for the boy, but obviously Timothee is Pete’s new best friend.

Red flags from the article at R228:

[quote]I did a tour with Pete Davidson. He had Sour Patch Kids in his rider... So I’ve started eating Sour Patch Kids, which are becoming a problem. They’re these little guys — well, I guess they’re kids. And they’re caked in sharp sugar and rip your tongue up — you feel just terrible after you eat them. In the bodega, I kind of try to act like they’re for like, my child. I go, “Oh…what did he want? Oh, yeah, could I get a bag of Sour Patch Kids?” I eat them in the elevator so my wife doesn’t see.

[quote]I drink a bunch of this stuff called ZzzQuil, which is purple and not NyQuil. You know, I’ve tried every single thing that makes you sleep and never have a hangover from ZzzQuil. I drink it until I pass out.

It's the wife's fault.

She fucked Chalamet after his hosting gig, and John went into a spiral.

It was a "haha jokey threesome" gone wrong.

R233 Threesome? Which one bottomed?

Is this the kind of rehab where they teach him not to want to suck dicks?

Maybe they give him a set a progressively smaller dildoes...

So at the end, he just wants to finger his asshole and look at pictures of nude men

[quote]O'Buck would never have been a drunk.

John, I told you, your mother would have come to see you in Rehad, but...

she realized she just didn't love you as much as Buck

There’s quite a bit of circumstantial evidences that suggest Mulaney is at least a little bit gay (the Sack Lunch Bunch poster is a parody of A Chorus Line) but even out comedians like Ellen and Rosie are still very damaged people. It’s just a profession in which unhappy people excel, because they create a people-pleasing persona.

.and then there's the cum that's always leaking out of his ass...

For such an uptight guy, he seems to come off as a messy bottom.

He seems very tightly wound, which makes me think he isn’t wrapped too tight.

Having to deal with kids can make anyone relapse.

A pandemic, broke, and having to work your ass off dealing with show biz brats? It's a miracle he didn't off himself yet.

Kathy Griffin made millions by doing stand-up tours. But then she's a shrewd person when it comes to money.

People who struggle with addiction issues let certain parts of their lives slide, like personal hygiene or handling their bank accounts (see, Johnny Depp).

I always have considered Mulaney a cute guy, but in a 1960s Arrow Shirt ad kind of way. IMHO, he has classic features and a killer smile. Just too skinny, but the tailored suits help in that regard. He pinged for me early on, but I have been wrong before. Still, the mannerisms as he stands on stage don't exactly scream overly masculine. If he is indeed in the closet, it's his choice to make about if or when to come out. Whether he does or not, I think he's a brilliant comic and hope he recovers soon.

I like him and am sorry to hear this. On a side note, does anyone else confuse him with Rob Delaney and Jack Whitehall? All tall, good looking, white comedians who either have or will in the future have an addiction problem?

R245, He reminds me more of a young Greg Fitzsimmons who, in the 90s and early 00s, wore suits to performances, wrote a lot for tv shows, had an image opposite of what he was really like, also is Irish with a drinking problem who became sober in his 20s but admitted that he once tried to have a gay experience by going to a cruising spot and freaked out when it was about to happen after the man pulled out his dick.

I like him, I like his standup, but I'm having a tough time understanding why people online are going so fucking crazy over this news. Tons of "leave him alone, he's perfect, he's wonderful" tweets and posts and I'm absolutely baffled.

[quote]I knew this would happen when he started hanging out with Pete Davidson.

My first thought as well, R13.

Yeah, R87, and you got basic details wrong in your "explanation" of what was going on with Mulaney, so stuff it.

It's better to get no gossip than fake made-up fangurl gossip.

[quote]Wikipedia describes his wife as a "lampshade artisan"

Annamarie is a makeup artist and her shop sells more than lampshades.

It's not true that she doesn't work, that's how you know the "insider gossip" is fake. You'd think that people who have been reading about gossip for as long as DLers allegedly have, you'd recognize the fake shit when you see it, because it's always the same thing: "Poor innocent celebrity is beleaguered by a greedy bitch of a wife/girlfriend."

It's the product of jealous fangurls. We've seen this b.s. for decades in the gossip community, so come on, stop being so gullible and think for a second.

Someone should do a cold opening mocking his downfall and pain so that he knows what it feels like.

[quote] Big disked South American hos

Floppy or hard?

His eyes are too far apart. He eyes are waaaay too far apart for this guy to ever be "cute" or "handsome" or "attractive." He's got the basic features for a Star Wars character. Just build on his own weirdly idiosyncratic features.

Comics are all damaged people. They become comics so that they can make fun of EVERYTHING. Pick at it. Knock it down. Laugh at it. Whatever crosses their paths, they destroy. For laughs.

Hopefully the book deal that will likely result from this situation will provide some financial comfort.

I have a theory, based on absolutely nothing, that due to hormone changes, bisexual men get gayer as they grow older. I wonder if that could be an additional source of his frustrations.

All of these revelations—the drama, the demons, the debilitating angst—is just making him more and more and more attractive to me.

Pete and John would be fun to have together.

Let this be a lesson: NEVER have a spouse/significant other who doesn't work or have their own money.

R132 A Jew running a lampshade business? Jesus....

[quote]Annamarie is a makeup artist and her shop sells more than lampshades.

You think that's anywhere near enough to sustain a Manhattan lifestyle? Hahahaha!

To the person that keep making posts about him, please stop. I don't know him. We don't know him.

As a sidebar to this thread:

Why is making fun of Irish people still ok?

All Irish are drunks? Imagine the outrage if people started throwing around stereotypes of other groups...

*cheap Jews

*welfare Blacks

*mincing gays

...you get the picture

People do that on DL all the time.

R264, come to NYC on St. Patrick's Day and have your questions answered.

You haven't lived until you see young Irish-American men from Long Island bent over trash cans all over the city, barfing their guts out.

Ay, R264, notice how you didn’t mention us? Yeah, let’s keep it that way.

Or else.

Ah, the St. Patrick's Day parade. When the Irish turn Manhattan into a vomitorium/open-air toilet. Good times!

[quote]Imagine the outrage if people started throwing around stereotypes of other groups...

You could have stopped your post right there R264.

You didn't need to "give examples."

You just wanted to be racist.

You're like one of those people that wants to say the N word to tell a story about it.

[Quote] You'd think that people who have been reading about gossip for as long as DLers allegedly have, you'd recognize the fake shit when you see it, because it's always the same thing: "Poor innocent celebrity is beleaguered by a greedy bitch of a wife/girlfriend."

It happens so often in Hollywood that it's difficult for people not to come to that assumption, especially with how John describes his wife as a "bossy Jew" and how controlling she comes across in interviews. She may not be a bad person, but you can tell she wears the pants in that relationship. Maybe he got fed up with it. Perhaps they can work out their issues, but the relationship always came across as kind of toxic and with a bit of desperation on John's end to want to be married and settle down. It may be time to split. It would be better for the both of them.

To be fair, a lot of people travel to NYC for the parade, including the Irish from Ireland.

[quote]He's been having problems for a while

Someone who can sell out Radio City and get Nexflix specials?

That doesn't add up. Has he been doing coke all along?

The people defending Anna Marie Tendler on here come across to me as very frau like. Case in point, from Twitter.

[Quote] gonna need y’all to stop spreading baseless rumors about john mulaney and anna marie tendler divorcing. perhaps anna would like to exist as a private person and not be harassed by john’s fans? [bold] maybe she’d like to be known as an artist in her own right [/bold] and not only as john’s wife?

All the posters getting defensive about Anna not having a job give me this kind of vibe. The whole "she's a successful business woman" defense is pure bullshit.

[quote]Ah, the St. Patrick's Day parade. When the Irish turn Manhattan into a vomitorium/open-air toilet. Good times!

Contrary to what they told you in junior high locker rooms, a vomitorium was the entrance/exist of a building, not a special room where people vomited after gorging themselves at an orgy.

[quote]Wikipedia describes his wife as a "lampshade artisan"

I wonder which concentration camps source her material.

I worked in a public space, a corporate gallery, off 5th Ave. that had free open public bathrooms. During the St. Patrick Day parade they would be covered in vomit, much of it green, and there would be people who didn’t need to vomit, but would open the door and a wave would come over them and they’d become vomit followers.

on deux moi there were some blind items that sounded a lot like him re: cheating on his wife with strippers, relapsing etc.

i think he's smart and talented and very funny. saw his broadway show with nick kroll where they play the two UWS old guys. hilarious.

comedians always have these really dark sides. hope he's okay.

I could totally see John partying with Hunter Biden and those two getting in hella trouble.

Hot Hunter would have NO use for that skinny man's body. None at all.

R264, apparently you missed the antisemitic remarks made about Mulaney's wife here in this thread. No one cared about those, either.

LOL

[Quote] I really hope annamarie tendler is ok. [bold] Please keep making those lamps Anna they’re so cute. Im a huge fan of the lamps [/bold]

Yeah, those posters defending Anna's lampshade "business" are fraus. All the fraus on Twitter praise her for that shit, despite the fact that it probably costs more to make them than she could possibly sell them for. It's like Victoria Beckham's "business": a complete flop that her husband finances at a loss.

His wife sells Rodan + Fields products.

A lamp shade decorating business sounds exactly like the quintessential tax write off failing business that wealthy men’s wife do.

I’m sorry, but the woman formerly know as Mrs. Mulaney sounds like a first class cunt. And if her shades go for $1,000 a pop she needs to get busy and be making some more to pay for that rehab.

She doesn't sound like a cunt at all. Good lord, some of you are too sensitive to live.

I know someone earlier said she was going to beauty school recently, but that was back when she was a teen. She recently got a degree in Psych, apparently.

They see the wife as barrier to getting to suck Mulaney's dick

[quote] I know someone earlier said she was going to beauty school recently, but that was back when she was a teen.

We all make bad decisions when we're young.

R286 I agree. There is nothing so far that indicates "cunt". She just sounds like a creative person who married another creative person. How unusual. As for her lampshades, I fear they are destined to be roasted on a DL thread sooner or later.

damn, those are some fucking ugly lampshades! I can't believe people pay money for that!

Eh, I'm not crazy about her painting an antique lamp base with glossy white paint instead of restoring it, but she's not doing anything any weirder than thousands of other crafty people with their own shops and Etsys.

[Quote] I decided I wanted to go back and get my bachelor’s degree, just because I thought I might want to get my master's one day. I finished my degree at The New School with a basic writing and psychology degree. [bold] This fall, I’m starting graduate school to get master of arts in costume studies at NYU. [/bold]

She's still going to beauty school now, not just "back when she was a teen." My God, some people are extremely desperate to defend this woman, it's absurd.

And also NYU tuition is not cheap. John having to front the cash for that is a real money drainer, especially when he's not rolling in the big bucks to begin with. How many fucking lampshades could she be making to offset the cost of this, not to mention the cost of living in New York City more broadly? Face it. She's a big part of their financial problems, especially for how little she contributes financially.

[quote] She's still going to beauty school now, not just "back when she was a teen."

That says *costume* not *cosmetics*. That’s not beauty school. You know this, yes?

I was completely convinced he was gay when he played the Old Timey Nazi that cross-eyed Billy dated on 'Difficult People', S2E1. Such an underrated ep in general...Mulaney, Sandra Bernhard, & Tina Fey guest starred.

I've also continued to be completely convinced he's gay, just like Pete Wentz, Jared Leto, and Thomas Lennon. They all fall in the "Too Easy" category of my gaydar, meaning there's no way they're not gay. Or at least a little gay/bi/try-sexual.

Yes, we mics are all drinkers with dark souls, bad skin, stout dicks, and big nuts.

I think Andy Samberg is much handsomer than JM. he has a lovely loopy grin and I think he's funny, though he is not a stand up comedian, so not an exact comparison.

It must be hard to be a celebrity and be completely broke that you’re reduced to turning tricks and doing Seth Meyers.

They are not handsome! I agree that his eyes are too far apart. Adam is not that ugly but there is a funny and mischievous quality to his look.

[quote]Contrary to what they told you in junior high locker rooms, a vomitorium was the entrance/exist of a building, not a special room where people vomited after gorging themselves at an orgy.

Yes I know. That's what I meant. They're puking in doorways all over the fucking city.

As has been said, comedians are usually pretty dark IRL. Johnny Carson and Lucille Ball come to mind. They were both bitter, unhappy people.

Disney announced at the beginning of December that Mulaney and Andy Sandberg would be the stars of a new live action animation, Chip 'N Dale.

If he's gay or bi, he doesn't need to go public with it. Jesselnik has been out of the closet for years now in his personal life and hasn't even dipped his toe in the water in terms of coming out professionally (in his act or in any PR sort of way).

Jeselnik isn't as famous as Mulaney. Coming out professionally could really hurt him as his fanbase is a lot of douchebros. Mulaney has a different audience.

R292 You're trying way too hard to bash this woman you don't know for her educational pursuits. I'm sensing you have a John Mulaney shrine in your bedroom and a calendar marking off the days until you can at last be one with your true love.

I hope the woman formerly known as Mrs. Mulaney makes some nice lamp shades for the light fixtures in his room at rehab to warm it up and remind him of home.

r304 if you're in a city like NY or LA you know exactly the kind of woman Mulaney's wife is, believe me. If he had more money, she'd have one of those vanity boutiques you see all over the city (or did, until recently). We call them "hedge fund manager wife stores" i.e. wives of filthy rich men who have nothing to do all day so their husbands set them up with a vanity boutique which is a tax write-off and gives them something to do. Think Edina Monsoon.

Armie Hammer's ex wife is one of those, he gave her a pair of bakeries in Texas to play entrepeneur. She was so negligent in running them that an employee was able to steal $200,000 before she noticed.

Edina Monsoon works in PR. She PRs things. People. Places. Lulu!

R304 Quite an assumption there, dude, one that isn't even remotely true. I'm just pointing out that her defenders (largely fraus) fail to notice that John, or any man who is not a multi millionaire, having to foot the bill for an expensive tuition like that would drive them crazy. That's not an observation of someone with "a John Mulaney shrine in your bedroom and a calendar marking off the days until you can at last be one with your true love." For the record, they probably will end up not getting divorced and even if they did, so what? I have no personal vested interest in it or him. I'm just a casual observer.

r308 it's still the same general idea, a vanity business for women who have nothing to do all day so they can play "businesswoman/entrepreneur." Manhattan is FULL of women like this.

The fucking fraus on this site! Stupid, ridiculous fraus. Constantly getting shot down by the gay men who actually know what the fuck is up with reality.

I’m not shocked. He is just another privileged rich kid who has a coke addiction.

R312, thank you.

Only difference is this fool has tiny bit of fame.

MAD TV’s Bobby Lee makes a point.

Maybe you should try being funnier Bobby.

I think he's cute. He should divorce her and date me.

R264 We're not making fun of Irish people. We're expressing our sadness and commiseration that the bulk of Irish people, male and female, young and old, have an inordinate mix of blood and alcohol in their veins.

In another thread I came upon an article that Ireland is 3rd in about 167 countries in Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.

R253 says 'Comics are all damaged people [who] make fun of EVERYTHING . . .they destroy. For laughs.

We are merely doing the same to this person who exemplifies the Irish tradition of chronic drunkenness.

The Irish cannot beat the Russians or Belarusians when it comes to alcohol consumption.

[Quote] Quite an assumption there, dude, one that isn't even remotely true. I'm just pointing out that her defenders (largely fraus) fail to notice that John, or any man who is not a multi millionaire, having to foot the bill for an expensive tuition like that would drive them crazy.

Crazy to the point of addiction relapse?

It's funny how people think everyone is Irish who comes to NYC to take part in the St. Patrick's Day festival of public drunkenness and copious vomiting.

IMO, I thought this skit was really funny. Davidson and Mulaney reviewing Clint Eastwood's new movie on SNL. This was a month after Davidson threatened suicide over Ariana.

R322 I went to Mongolia and there were drunk people passed out on the sidewalks in the middle of the day. It was terrible.

Well, R322, you might say that Russians or Belarusians are alcoholics but they aren't on our TVs making millions by trying to be funny.

Well, at least we don’t have to think of the children. I feel there has been something in his act about not wanting children right? I wonder if it’s this genetic predisposition that makes him not want kids? I wonder if he’s always seen himself as a time bomb always waiting to go off and now he has?

He lost his brother at a young age.

[Quote] Crazy to the point of addiction relapse?

On top of the stress of the pandemic, not being able to work regularly and limited social interaction? Yeah.

[Quote] On top of the stress of the pandemic, not being able to work regularly and limited social interaction? Yeah.

Didn't he take a job on Seth Myer's nightly TV show?

R331 He did because he needed the money. It's not like he's able to go do three stand up shows a week anymore and it's not like he has his own TV show to fall back on. He'll take the cash wherever he can get it.

He’s dead broke and has been reduced to doing Seth Meyers. I guess it was either give Seth a go or sleep on the streets.

And we're supposed to think "How dreadful" about the Seth Myers gig? I suspect some of you slinging the frau insults would like to apply for the position.

R336 No, but for someone who has hosted SNL three times, filmed multiple stand up specials and starred on Broadway, you'd think that being relegated to being a staff writer on Seth Meyers would be a big career plunge. That kind of job is for someone looking to make it in the industry, not for someone who already had something going. The only people in the industry who would take that kind of job after having already made a name for themselves is someone who is desperate and needed the quick cash. John needed the money, plain and simple. Hey, it's a lot better than what happened to Geoffrey Owens, but it's still a big demotion, though now that's the least of his problems. I suspect, and hope, that he'll make a comeback after this since public sympathy is with him.

Or maybe John is hitting bottom and Seth is doing for him what a good friend would do.

You act like he's gone down the coalmine. Just as he can take the Seth Myers job to tide him over, he can leave it too. He has options. But I get it, you want to fuck him or feed him the mother's milk in your balls so you must sell the narrative that he's been pushed to the brink.

Somebody hittin' that bottom fo shur fo shur.

Somebody hittin' that bottom fo shur fo shur.

The people on DL are so obsessive about status. The job on Late Night was something to do and make money at where he could be funny every day. Plus they were using him on air....Nothing wrong with that.

[quote] I feel there has been something in his act about not wanting children right? I wonder if it’s this genetic predisposition that makes him not want kids?

It went from, he and his wife don't have kids yet so stop pestering them to he and his wife definitely don't want kids.

It's okay for couples not to watch kids. It only sticks out to me because he met someone else who didn't want them years before, when they were younger, and they've stuck with it. To be fair, at this point it's probably a good thing that kids aren't involved.

What's with the obsession of some of these trolls here with feeding John Mulaney cum and saying anyone who is critical of his wife just wants to sleep with him? It's so weird. I know certain threads are magnets for these types of people, but my God it's more bizarre than usual. It's almost as bad as the Charmie threads, which are just a cesspool of fraus.

r337 I don't understand how Jon can be so broke yet afford to go off to rehab. Rehab ain't cheap and I doubt he's going to some free (do they exist) rehab facility. So how broke can he really be if he can pack up and skip town for a 60 day staycation at a facility?

R302 and R303, is Anthony Jeselnik really gay or is he only DL gay (where every man in the public eye is gay)? He definitely doesn't give off any vibes.

I must have missed something in one of the published reports, but why does everyone keep stating he is broke? Working as a staff writer for Seth Myers has nothing to do with his financial status.

The frau haters have decided that his wife has sent him to mental collapse over her spending. Some bullshit like that.

[quote] is Anthony Jeselnik really gay or is he only DL gay (where every man in the public eye is gay)? He definitely doesn't give off any vibes.

Are you a frau? Many gay men are not flamboyantly gay and are just as masculine as any other man.

[quote]I went to Mongolia and there were drunk people passed out on the sidewalks in the middle of the day. It was terrible.

Bish you could have just gone to San Francisco to see that. 🌉

[quote]The frau haters have decided that his wife has sent him to mental collapse over her spending. Some bullshit like that.

Do the math, you rancid cunt. He lives in Manhattan with a wife who doesn't work and his main source of income has been dried up for months. Of course there are financial problems. He's never had a successful series or been in films.

R345 My guess is his parents are paying for it and they're the ones who sent the statement to the press. As R196 said, his parents have money, but they certainly don't have the money to finance a NYC lifestyle for him. They probably funded this stint in rehab (which may not even be a fancy facility, for all we know, it could be some cheap dump) to get him back on his feet.

[Quote] is he only DL gay (where every man in the public eye is gay)?

Oh yeah, because we have thread after thread about Trump's truckstop gloryhole action.

Some of you are complete loons. Mulaney is not just out of college. He's made good money for a significant amount of time, ugly lampshades or no ugly lampshades. You're infantilising him just like fangirls do to their idols.

r354 those of us who know a bit about how the industry works can tell you that financially he's not rolling in dough, living in Manhattan with a wife who doesn't work and likes the good life.

I know it might be tacky to speculate on this, but I'm curious as to which rehab facility John checked himself into. I know the Page Six article said it was in Pennsylvania, so I narrowed it down to the most likely ones. The biggest cluster of rehab facilities are in York county, which is about 30 minutes to an hour outside of Philly. There is, surprisingly enough, a Promises (the fake, bullshit celebrity rehab the stars go to) facility in that area. If that's where he's staying, then it's not a serious stint in rehab at all. If it's something more serious like the Bradford or Blueprint facilities, then it means he's taking his health seriously.

No, R349, I am not a frau and I am well aware that gay men can be just as masculine as any other guy. By "vibes" I didn't mean that it had to be stereotypical lisping or anything else. I'm just saying that he doesn't set off gaydar. I'd also read something about him dating some female comedian at some point. If he is gay, it's just interesting. I enjoy him and he is obviously intelligent but I just don't know much about his personal life and seldom read anything about him.

And R353, read any thread about any TV, movie, or Broadway actor and there is ALWAYS someone who will state that any person who is mentioned is gay.

[Quote] I'd also read something about him dating some female

I read the same thing about Richard Madden. Several times. I learned. Oh how I learned.

[Quote] And [R353], read any thread about any TV, movie, or Broadway actor and there is ALWAYS someone who will state that any person who is mentioned is gay.

Nonsense. I've read the Theatre Gossip threads for years and years. Matt Morrison was never discussed as gay, quite the opposite in fact. He only became "gay" to Gleeks.

Sam Smith, go roll yourself back into the sea!

yes, it's really tacky and stalkerish to find out which rehab he's in. Leave him alone.

Jeselnik is gay in his personal life, obviously not publicly.

R361 I'm sure the Daily Mail will have "exclusive photos" if they are able to find him. I was just curious as to whether his stint in rehab was a serious one, though I suspect it is, since he's done it before.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

R359, please see R5 and R16 in the attached thread vis a vis Matthew Morrison and notice the WWs.

That's a recent thread on Morrison. When he was just a theatre actor, he wasn't presumed or claimed gay. In contrast, someone is always asking about Aaron Tveit on the theatre threads and no one ever has anything concrete on him. (Unlike golden boy Michael Arden...)

[quote]I'm just pointing out that her defenders (largely fraus) fail to notice that John, or any man who is not a multi millionaire, having to foot the bill for an expensive tuition like that would drive them crazy.

What are you, Robert Durst?

It's a good idea for her to get an education, in one interview linked earlier it sounded like she knew being a makeup artist was something that wouldn't be a permanent, lasting job, and she's right. An undergraduate Psych degree is pretty flexible, so it's not a wasted degree, either.

I've been trying to figure out what is so jarring (to me, anyway) about Mulaney's physique in the picture. It's the proportion between his spindly forearms and his elongated wrists/hands.

If I cover his hands, I just see an ordinary guy, albeit a little on the reedy side. Uncover them, and I'm thinking, wow, limb grafting technology has come a long way!

I do hope he gets it back together. I enjoy his work.

All these comments about a JAPy wife - well a couple things:

1) A Jewish girl named Annamarie?? I thought only nuns were named that.

2) and a little more seriously, that kind of behavior is hardly reserved for Jewish girls/wives anymore. Just look at the NYT from the past 20 + years (“until this month, she worked at....”) Unless a woman happens to fall into a dream career that she truly loves and is making tons of money (or unless she’s working class or lower), she’s just biding time until she can find a man to support her. The WASPiest of the WASPs are equally guilty of this.

So enough with the baiting.

r369 you obviously don't know any JAPs.

[quote] A Jewish girl named Annamarie?? I thought only nuns were named that.

Mulaney has talked about his wife being "a bossy Jew" in his stand up.

R369 all that said you still can’t blame her for his coke addiction. Many people have (way worse) financial problems and depression and don’t cope with them that way.

R370 you’re saying WASPy wives (esp in Manhattan) don’t have the same expectations? Give me an effing break.

I know plenty of both and they don’t act any different, trust me.

I still don’t understand why he reduced himself to Seth Meyers. There’s a number of ways to make money while still keeping your dignity. He could have monetized a YouTube channel, become an Instagram influencer, sold plasma or semen, done a GoFundMe, Cameo, OnlyFans, Chaturbate, or a Kickstarter to put on a special concert. Anything but resorting to Seth Meyers.

[Quote] it sounded like she knew being a makeup artist was something that wouldn't be a permanent, lasting job, and she's right

Tell that to Ruby Romaine.

I was trying to be polite, R375. She knew it couldn't be a lasting job for HER.

What's the big deal about working for Seth Meyers? Part of the deal was him appearing in segments, which gives him a public audience during covid—something hard to come by right now—and his past appearances have been well-received since he and Seth are real-life friends and have chemistry. Plus, the show will need talent to redesign its comedy strategy after the current president leaves so it's a compliment that John was asked to contribute. Late night shows have extremely high writer turnaround rates, it would be reasonable for it to be a short-term gig while he has nothing else to do.

I want more details from the poster whose female friend fucked Seth Meyers and said he had a big dick.

Seinfeld is not worth a dollar, let alone 100 million. And neither is Dave Chapelle. Two overrated bigots.

How the fuck are Seinfeld and Chappelle bigots? JFC.

R373 You're perfectly sensible and wasting your breath. The antisemites here want to blame the wife because she is Jewish and nothing will convince them otherwise.

I've never seen anything like the open, even proud, racism and anti-Semitism here before the last year or so. It truly is deplorable.

R374 He's an addict. He was slipping. He needed structure and people to connect with every day. The Myers gig was an opportunity to be accountable to other people, be on a schedule, have a reason to get up in the morning, get to be funny, work on a team, and not have to be a perfectionist or have to worry about how his own career is going. Also paid from day one. It would take a year to make money off a youtube channel and six months to make money if he pitched a show....

[quote] He's made good money for a significant amount of time

He’s just been admitted to rehab for coke addiction. Where do you think all that ‘good money’ went?

He should have just read the thread here on growing your own mushrooms. He could have stayed wasted all the time and for little to no money. What a maroon!

Some of you might not realize you can be going broke without actually being broke. Maybe he was down to his last $500k and spending $20k per month with nothing coming in....It doesnt mean he was necessarily bouncing checks to his landlord.....

Did his brother kill himself?

R386 I'm adding a new classic DL typo to the list: "What a maroon!" (Unless it's already on the list.)

R385 and yet everyone here is still blaming the JAP wife.

In 2018, this interviewer asks Mulaney, "You were a black-out drunk in highschool. Where were your your parents?"

At timestamp 0.57

R389, it's an old Looney Tunes joke, Bugs Bunny calling someone a "maroon" instead of a "moron" for comedic effect.

R386, the link at R393 actually has him saying he was on shrooms! I had no idea.

His Sundays sound boring as shit in the article above.

How bad off was he that he goes to rehab the week of Christmas?

You couldn't wait a week, junkie?

It must've been life or death to go at this time of year.

He's doing a new Disney movie, this sudden rehab could have been Disney's idea, especially if some really bad news is coming down the pipeline.

And 60 days in rehab?

Even Sandra Bullock's fucked up character only went for 28 days.

R393, he said he wasn’t worried about going to college in R393. What college did this bozo go to? Did he even go to college? Maybe with a college degree he would be able to get a job and not have to lower himself to Seth Meyers.

Yeah he's a Georgetown graduate, along with Nick Kroll, who definitely comes from money.

I think some people here think that we are exclusively blaming Anna for this, but no one has done that. What has been said is that her not working and going to an expensive school like NYU caused financial problems before the pandemic and the lack of being able to do stand up exacerbated things to the point where John had a breakdown. That's what happened here. It's quite obvious that things are going to have to change if they are going to stay married. One of those things is that is Anna going to have to work.

But how do you know he's paying for her tuition? Is she that poor? Her family is poor? Maybe she has a trust fund and thus no need to work or maybe she took out a loan?

Why should she have to work? She’s married to a celebrity with Netflix specials, his own sitcom, best-selling albums, sold-out tours (after COVID), SNL host, Seth writer, and starring in Disney movies.

Get a J-O-B, Anna!

Target is hiring at several locations around Manhattan!

R403 I don't know him directly, but I heard from someone that he has been paying for her schooling for years because he loves her and "supports her passions" even though they are complete bullshit and are literally not going to go anywhere or amount to anything. He hacked it until the pandemic changed things for him financially and that became one of the things that they got into arguments about. A lot of actors are in this boat. John is just one of the first people where it's going to get publicity in the near future. Within the next year, you're going to start to hear a lot more celebrities acknowledging how the pandemic fucked up their finances, even some names who might shock you.

R404 Because John Mulaney was never rolling in the dough even before the pandemic and you really overestimate how much performers make these days. Hollywood is much stingier than it used to be and streaming services are notorious for stiffing talent unless they are top tier, A-list celebrities. John did ok, but he wasn't making Jerry Seinfeld money, not to mention that he had that long stretch between his failed sitcom and his Netflix deal where he made a lot less money. He supported Anna for as long as he could, but as R405 says, it's time to get a job and pull her weight. She can go back to school later if that's what she wants to do, but for the sake of their marriage and their finances, she has to swallow her pride.

[quote]She's still going to beauty school now, not just "back when she was a teen." My God, some people are extremely desperate to defend this woman, it's absurd.

She's getting a Master's in Costume Design at NYU Steinhardt, it's a legitimate degree and not "beauty school."

You're just bitching at me because I pointed out all the errors in your fake "insider info." Well, add this to the list because you got this 100% wrong, too.

She doesn’t swallow anything. That’s why they’re getting divorced.

R389, if Data Lounge tries to claim it, expect to hear from Bugs Bunny's lawyers.

Why do you need a masters degree for costume design? Have any of the costume designers on Oscar winning films gotten a masters degree before they could work?

r407 you think a fluff piece in a lifestyle mag means she's making serious money? LOL!

[quote]why does everyone keep stating he is broke?

Because the person with fake "insider info" said he was having financial troubles because Annamarie "doesn't work." It's not true but it's given plenty of fodder to our resident MRAs and antisemites, and honestly was probably WHY that person posted it in the first place.

[quote] Why do you need a masters degree for costume design?

To teach at the university level. Craft counts for nothing in academia. Art counts for nothing. Ya gotta have a terminal degree.

R411 She's a frau. Just ignore her and move on.

Archivists and conservationists who work in museums often have a MA in Costume Design. A lot of the work is about historical textiles, not just what Marilyn wore in some movie.

[quote]Why do you need a masters degree for costume design? Have any of the costume designers on Oscar winning films gotten a masters degree before they could work?

Out of the last 10 winners, only two of them (as far as I can tell) Jacqueline Durran from Anna Karenina and Mark Bridges from Phantom Thread & The Artist had Masters degrees. The rest, like many positions in the arts, got where they are because they worked enough so they got to the point where they were considered experts. It's no different than the idea that you don't need to go to film school to make an academy award winning film. You just need to do the damn thing.

And I know people want to bash his wife but he's an addict. He had issues long before he met her. He will have issues if they split. If he couldn't handle being locked up with her then he should have moved out if he felt his sobriety was threatened. At the end of the day the responsibility he has to himself to stay sobert has to take precedence over whether or not his wife is happy.

r412 living a Manhattan lifestyle with a materialistic wife who doesn't work, then add in John Mulaney's finances that are easily deduced by people who know a thing or two about the business and it's pretty easy to see how he would very clearly be in financial trouble right now since his main source of income was stand up which he hasn't been able to do for months now. He's in some shit at the moment.

R416 Not to mention that before pursuing her "costume design" degree, she got a Bachelors in a totally unrelated field, basic writing and psychology. She's just going to school for the sake of going to school. It is not a career focused move, which is what smart people do who want to make something of themselves. For her, it was just about "pursuing her passions," but the time for that is over.

Let's say John decides to agree to a divorce and he works to stay sober and get back on his feet. What is Anna going to do without him? Either she'll have to find another guy to fit the bill for her "business" or [bold] gasp [/bold] she's going to have to find a real job and work for a living. So even if they split, this is something she's going to have to face head on. She's not a Bloomberg or a Gates or a Bezos or from old money like the Rockefeller's. She can't finance her "art" on her own. She better have a backup plan or she's totally screwed.

This thread has taken a very odd turn toward unsolicited marital analysis and advice. Fraus will get the blame, but I suspect no fraus are involved in this obsession with John Mulaney's marriage.

I think Annamarie did some costume-related work for the Smithsonian. She seems like the type to make an unusual degree work out for her. I mean she was able to get a spot in Architectural Digest about lampshades so anything seems possible. I guess we'll see.

Point taken, R409. I'm backing off of Bugs's expression. His lawyers can relax.

[quote] I mean John’s PR team was able to get a spot in Architectural Digest about lampshades so anything seems possible.

FTFY

[quote]I'm curious as to which rehab facility John checked himself into. I know the Page Six article said it was in Pennsylvania, so I narrowed it down to the most likely ones

Your dozens of posts absolutely SCREAM over-invested frau, despite you posting about 20 times that you're not a frau, everyone else is a frau.

Lamp shade design reminds me of when Rob Kardashian was a sock designer.

The link at R393 shows the Irish characteristic of thinking that getting drunk is OK and that getting drunk is funny.

It is ingrained into their language and culture —and by virtue of the Irish migrating to Australia— has unfortunately become part of Australia's language and culture.

I wonder if Seth Meyers and his brother, Josh, have double-teamed women together.

I suspect they have.

Gee, who cares about the wife! The smartest thing she can do is to squeeze out a baby so she can have a child support check for 18 years if they split.

^ That's not happening, though it would be smarter for her to wait to get divorced, if that's the route she chooses to go down. Doing it now means she'll barely get anything. It would be better to wait until he's gotten back on his feet so she can get more money out of him. She's certainly going to need it. Those lampshades don't fund themselves.

I know for a fact he has financial problems - he stiffed me for the last 8-ball I scored for him. Said he'd pay me right after Xmas weekend and now he's gone til late February, the asshole.

He must be bi cuz he's always real flirty with me after that first big line to try it out. All I'd have to do is whip it out and it'd be ON. But I told him I wasn't attracted to Irish Asians (he laughed but don't think he appreciated the humor at his expense)

And he doesn't hide the powder from wifey - she's like a goddamn hoover judging from his comments.

R427 I’m sure he’ll get back on his feet and make good money again. I agree it would be silly for her to divorce now. Stand by your man and build up some good will, have a kid or two and THEN divorce him.

R429 John's not going to have a kid with her, but otherwise yes.

This thread is gold. Complete with accurate information being delivered and explained in a logical manner being emotionally argued with by Annamarie fans. How does this woman have fans? If she actually wanted to be a writer and had any bit of talent she could easily get a staff writing job on some show or get a screenplay noticed simply because she is married to John Mulany. Like Kumail and his wife. She has not done this and has, as others have pointed out, pursued degrees that don’t really go together and hopped from passion to passion.

I don’t care what this woman does with her life. But I do know about the comedy world. John Mulany cannot afford to support this woman’s endeavors indefinitely, especially right now. Even though, he is not being paid like a beginning writer at Late Night, people have guarantees in their contracts and with unions, Mulany didn’t go back to the bottom rung (he was never really there with Kroll in his corner anyway) and he definitely needed the steady income and to get out of the house. This is not a step down, more sideways.

He is also surely paying a publicist 10k + a month to get his sickly face out there and score Architechtural digest articles for his wife. This is how the world works. Believe it or not. This is what is happening. People here get it, like Jeselnik. I love you bitches!!!!

Sorry, can’t be bothered to remember to spell this cokehead’s name right.

You can see he is using in this clip. The engorged nostrils and dilated pupils are tell-tale, but many other elements going on, as well. Too bad. It seems like he will come out the other side as brilliant as ever. I’m a big fan so I’m rooting for him.

My guess is both John and the wife come from family money. I doubt she has anywhere near a working class background. The math still points to an expensive lifestyle with only one person working. John is a comedian with a past of addiction issues. Sometimes people, especially comedian types, get bored. Day-to-day can be overwhelming and boring for hyper-observant types. Lockdown has been hard. I can’t imagine going through it while married. I think this makes perfect sense.

I can’t believe it’s taken four hundred posts before someone (me) realized that Annamarie is the second type of the Ladies Who Lunch

And here's to the girls who play smart—

Aren't they a gas?

Rushing to their classes in optical art,

Wishing it would pass

Another long exhausting day

Another thousand dollars

A matinee, a Pinter play

Perhaps a piece of Mahler's

I'll drink to that

And one for Mahler!

I have a bad feeling about this.

Wow R433 he was so coked out in that clip I’m surprised Kimberly Guilfoyle didn’t pop up in the background

Right, R437. He literally clears his throat and drinks the water like 15 times in 15 minutes, if not more. If he read DL religiously he would know Liz Ashley’s paradigm of how to do a high af interview appropriately. But maybe he did? Still rooting for him, either way. Brilliant mind.

R433 Yikes, Jimmy says he’s one of three people who had a good 2020, guess that’s down to two people now.

He's not going to recover from these addictions. Not ever.

He's a former altar boy. His entire education, from elementary school, through college, came from Catholic schools. He even graduated Georgetown with a minor in theology. He entire life has been shaped by that madness. He has nothing to draw on that will do him any good at all.

He should have played Michael in the recent revival of The Boys in the Band. He would have been perfectly cast. It would have opened additional avenues for him.

I randomly watched this clip from late Nov about a week ago and was thinking at the time John Mulaney was “off” I guess we know why.

Q. About HS partying, didn’t all upper middle class HS juniors and seniors in the 80/90s drink like fish and do copious amounts of drugs? That’s what it was like in the NYC suburbs when I was growing up.

[quote]accurate information being delivered and explained in a logical manner being emotionally argued with by Annamarie fans. How does this woman have fans?

Tiresome. The basic bitches with their fake gossip always claim that if you disagree or point out their errors, you're just a fan whose feelings are hurt.

I don't know jack shit about Annamarie, but I do watch Mulaney's standup, and I remembered him saying something about her working, so when the person (you, probably) claimed to know that the real problem was she was a greedy bitch who refused to work, I looked it up. You were wrong. Later, you were wrong about her degrees and the classes she's in right now. I didn't know anything about this lady's education because I was a fan, I knew it because I looked it up.

That's it. I used Google.

That's the downfall of pretty much every fake gossip type on celebrity forums: they never look anything up, and then they triple down when people point out the basic errors in their "gossip."

He is definitely off there, R443, it's really obvious. I'm surprised I didn't see someone mention it when it happened, but maybe I don't follow anyone who watches Seth?

R416, R410, R413, I checked the numbers on Oscars for costume design, and of all the Best Costume Oscars from 2010 to 2019:

5 went to designers with grad degrees in costume design 3 went to designers without grad degrees (and all of these are older than 60 years or older) 2 could not determine is degree in costume design is undergrad or grad.

Also, usually the execution of the designs are done by either MFA or people who began working in clothing construction at a very young age. (This is anecdotal, but pretty overwhelmingly true.)

Sorry for screwed up format. Trying again:

5-- went to designers with grad degrees in costume design

3-- went to designers without grad degrees (and all of these are older than 60 years or older)

2-- could not determine is degree in costume design is undergrad or grad.

r444 she doesn't work in any capacity to make real money.

[quote]he is obviously intelligent

I always get a laugh out of people on here declaring that someone (be it a celebrity or a politician or some talking head on cable news) is "obviously intelligent" simply because they think the same way you do. Narcissistic much?

R423 I buy Rob's socks at Dollar Tree now.....

I thought "the Irish curse" is a small penis, not alcoholism, though of course, that's a curse, too.

The woman photographed on the divan, above thread, is a stone cold pretentious cunt.

When Jimmy Kimmel says that John Mulaney is one of the few people to have had a good 2020, you can see acknowledgment that nothing could be further from the truth wash over Mulaney's face.

He even says that his only paying gig since the pandemic is hosting SNL. And SNL doesn't pay celebs much to host -- it is considered an honor to be asked.

[Quote] If she actually wanted to be a writer and had any bit of talent she could easily get a staff writing job on some show or get a screenplay noticed simply because she is married to John Mulany.

What it comes down to is that Anna is just going to school for the sake of it, not with any career path in mind. As R446 and others have said, she doesn't have to even take some shitty job to makes end meet. She could utilize the almost two years of "costume design" education she got at NYU and get a job on some film set doing that. John has the connections to make that happen for her, not to mention how everyone is going to be like "poor Anna" and employ her on the pity party alone. She literally has no excuse not to work, so if she continues to refuse to get gainful employment, it just shows what kind of cunt she is. Obviously, she's not responsible for John relapsing, but he's not responsible for financing her bullshit "business" endeavors and useless academic pursuits either.

[quote]I thought "the Irish curse" is a small penis, not alcoholism, though of course, that's a curse, too.

Just from watching this standup clip alone, Anna comes across as a huge cunt. From her complete insensitivity to John worrying about getting cancer to mocking his insecurity about not being as attractive as Timothee Chalamet, I can't, for the life of me, see what he sees in her. She's just awful.

Not to mention her bullshit excuse for why she didn't show up to the Emmy's when John won an award.

[Quote] I just can't fly across the country to watch you lose

What a bitch.

Some of you seem oddly invested in his marriage.

It's almost as if you are jealous of his wife.

I remember watching the Seth Meyers interview at R443 and sensing darkness from Mulaney, mainly due to the questions he was asking Seth. They were personal and honest... like he'd been contemplating his time in the industry as well as the nature of his relationships. The sunglasses added this cold distance to his demeanor as well. He seemed rather sad and over it.

Then it was announced that he'd be writing for Seth's show, which everyone looked at as a downgrade career-wise on various message boards, but people defended the decision saying a job's a job, which is true. Then someone in another thread mentioned the wife changing her surname, then deleting her IG, and then two days later the rehab news breaks.

I feel bad for him, but he's got all the resources he needs to pull through this, and has so much goodwill within the industry. He'll have tons of material for his next act.

I couldn't care less about the wife.

I’ve always found Mulaney somewhat off putting for some reason— the same way I find Birbiglia off putting.

It’s that uptight, Catholic closet case with a completely useless wife thing. It’s so regressive. It’s like they are living in the 1950s and feel the need to keep up appearances and have a non working wife as a status symbol.

It requires a certain amount of narcissism to be a closet case. Like, who the fuck cares if you are gay or not?

R458 No jealously here. I just don't get the attraction from a personality perspective. She's not ugly, but he's not overly handsome himself. Looks like, they fit each other. Personality wise, she seems to be very bossy and treats him like shit. Doesn't seem like a healthy marriage. Maybe they will work out their problems, but divorce wouldn't be the worst thing either.

Mulaney casts his wife as a stock character in his performances, that of the ball-busting Jewess. Who knows what she’s like in real life. But it seems to me she’s less Rachel Menken from Mad Men and more Shoshanna from Girls.

He has a line in one of his specials about how she's a total bitch and he loves that about her.

Here's Anna talking almost non stop for like 6 minutes. Her voice is so grating.

Remember when Shoshanna smoked crack?

Oh, Shoshanna!

I don't know... judging by the vid at R464, Shoshanna was way more interesting than Annamarie, who's got vocal fry for daaaaaays. That vid was uploaded on Amy Poehler's Smart Girls channel. I wonder how many of Mulaney's comedy connections Annamarie took advantage of.

Mulaney’s act has lots of references to child endangerment. I wonder if there’s a story there.

He comes off hyper controlled and uptight— the way an abuse survivor might. Abuse / molestation would also explain a dramatic change in his personality around age 12 (which he describes in his act.)

Being raised in all Catholic institutions in the 80s and with parents who seem aggressively clueless if not sociopathic themselves, it’s certainly possible.

I don't think he comes off as uptight at all. He turns little complaints about society into big deals in his standup material, which might imply uptightness, but that's par for the course for observational comedy. Doesn't mean a thing about him personally. I would imagine that because he was such a mess for so long and because he worked successfully in the chaotic SNL environment that he's actually rather open-minded.

He was an alterboy, so he was a prime target for molestation. That may also explain why he may have opted for a heterosexual life despite gay inclinations.

There are lots of people here drawing conclusions about him, his parents, and his wife from his standup which would be misleading at best. It's comedic material, so it's always exaggerated and tweaked to make a good story. I've heard a few comedians say that their wives/kids/etc hate when they joke about them because it gives the public such a cartoonish view.

That interview with Seth Meyers was very interesting.

I don't recall two celebrities having such a personal, honest conversation on a talk show.

I am friends with a comedian that you all know. Comedians are damaged, miserable people. Even the seemingly sane ones are weird and complex. Being on the road, traveling all the time, it's a hard life and it's easy to fall into some bad habits. The stories I've heard are wild. Even for the very successful ones, it's not easy.

[quote]I am friends with a comedian that you all know. Comedians are damaged, miserable people.

Why are you friends with someone miserable?

When quarantine started, he did a bit on HGTV's Househunters, where various comedians were doing remote commentary on the episode. He was also wearing sunglasses because he claimed he had an eye injury. I thought it was weird but didn't put anything into it until after this.

I socially know Conan O'Brien and a nicer, more centered guy you couldn't meet. But everyone says he's the gigantic exception to the rule and that's one of the reasons he's lasted as long as he did.

OMG r464 that voice! I would be an alchie cokehead too, if I had to listen to that all day every day.

[quote]Why are you friends with someone miserable?

Because I like people who make me smile and who I can have great conversations with.

Susie from Curb.

I socially know 2 comedians you know. A comedian you know and I share a banker at Julius Baer. My kids go to prep school with a the kids of a comedian you know. I have licked the shitter of a comedian you know.

Let me tell you about comedians. A comedian you know gave me and my husband anal chlamydia. Another comedian, you all know, gave us the tasteful and thoughtful hostessing gift pre-covid, and then her girlfriend stole it back.

[quote] I have licked the shitter of a comedian you know.

Rosie O'Donnell?

Maybe the lamp shades will be available at Dollar Tree in the new year.

Exactly, R470. We don't know either one of them or why they chose to get married, but the fact is John Mulaney probably had a lot of options. Some people on this thread would love to be married to him. And he picked non-famous Annamarie so there was probably a very good reason, something that can't be learned from Wikipedia or a comedy routine. I'm not a "fan" of hers because I don't know her, but I find the attacks upon her (how dare she get a graduate degree!) to be baseless and absurd.

Well r482 then you haven't been paying attention. Lots of very astute observations and comments on this thread. Many of us know women exactly like Annamarie. At a certain economic level, they're unavoidable.

I totally get why he would go into rehab over the holidays. It's one of the most stressful times of the year for a lot of people. Combine that with a drug / alcohol addiction and potential marital issues (and thus extended family / in-law issues), I'd opt to go away for two months too.

I like his brand of humor and wish him well. I didn't know anything about his wife until this thread. (For what that's worth.) I hope Petunia is being taken care of.

“Irish curse”? Cocaine is the spoiled trust fund kid’s curse. It’s typical for rich kids to develop serious addiction problems into adulthood. That’s why Portland Oregon voted to decriminalize cocaine possession. That town is full of wealthy people who don’t want to see their brats go to jail.

John has literally said he's had trouble dating women in the past and seems like someone who settled because of this. No great big mystery there.

[Quote] I'm not a "fan" of hers because I don't know her,

Sure Jan

[Quote] but I find the attacks upon her (how dare she get a graduate degree!) to be baseless and absurd.

On his dime. No one said she shouldn't get a graduate degree if she's the one paying the bill, but the point is she's not and that's where people are critical. Not to mention that her educational pursuits are not about advancing her career, otherwise she would have gone on a stable academic trajectory that would lead to gainful employment in the future. To hop from creative writing and psychology to costume design is just the outward sign of a woman going to college for the sake of going to college. It's a big waste of money, especially at an expensive school like NYU which charges $50,000 a year for tuition. John shouldn't have ever forked over that kind of money for a wasteful degree like that, but he most certainly can't and shouldn't be doing it now. If he goes back to doing it again after cleaning himself up and getting back to work, then he's a big fucking idiot and will get himself into more financial trouble again in the future.

R486 NYU is more like $75k a year these days.

[quote]I find the attacks upon her (how dare she get a graduate degree!) to be baseless and absurd.

Given what one of the people complaining about the wife posted earlier this morning, I think we're looking at a bunch of gossip ladies who came up with a really inaccurate theory on another forum and have brought it over here, and are shocked -- shocked, I tell you! -- to find out we're not immediately buying it as truth.

Seth comes off as the smart one in that interview and John as stupid. It’s almost cruel. I believe they are good friends and I wonder if Seth played a major role in convincing John to go to rehab. Like, if you work for me you can’t come to work fucked up, so clean up your act. Which would have been for John’s own good.

If they had a couple of kids, no one would be batting an eye if she was only marginally employed and the kids went to Dalton, St. Ann’s or Harvard Westlake.

I thought Big Mouth would have been good money for him, but I guess he’s not a producer on it like Kroll, and it would seem the voice talent pay is such that Jenny Slate was willing to give her job to someone else to be a good liberal.

It is bizarre how much conjecture about class status and personal finances is going on in this thread! Lots of anxiety about money must be floating around everywhere.

IMDb says he's a consulting producer on "Big Mouth" and an exec producer on "Sack Lunch Bunch." He hasn't been a producer on "Documentary Now!" for several years though, even though he still wrote for them until last year.

Tendler went to some pricey schools before dating Mulaney so I don't think it's a given that he's paying for her education right now. I think they both come from enough money that tuition isn't going to be a life-ending ordeal that will force him to snort up all the white powder in a tri-state area.

Also a lot of her work like her books and blog tutorials are under her maiden name, so now I wonder if she really did change her IG name at all. This happens on gossip topics all the time now, people saying someone unfollowed or changed a name or whatever, and you can't actually tell if that happened or not.

[quote]It is bizarre how much conjecture about class status and personal finances is going on in this thread! Lots of anxiety about money must be floating around everywhere.

It's the dumb fraus who are clueless, as usual. The gays have to school them on what's really going on.

r456 It's standup. It may represent a version of reality. It may have never happened in any way. It's a comedy act. Sorry I have to keep reminding people about this. Comedians without a big public profile will sometimes talk about their wives and not actually be married. It's standup. Big comedians like John Mulaney can hire other comedians to critique, tweak, and add to his act. Because it's standup. Eddie Murphy RAW? Not actually all written by Eddie Murphy. Because it's standup. It's an act. An artform.

r495 there's always truth in it, though.

At least DL is consistent. John goes to rehab and it’s the wife’s fault. John get’s a hangnail, it’s because his wife is lazy. Maybe it’s just something as simple as, performers are constantly under a lot of stress and he made some not so good choices to deal with the stress and it got out of control.

I am watching Sack Lunch Bunch right now and I just realized John walks like a gay man.

If you don't believe me, it's at 28:40

And having a harpie shrew JAP wife who wants to live like a Manhattan princess when you're going broke surely plays a part r497.

The fraus on this thread have absolutely NO IDEA what the world John Mulaney lives in is like. Or the kind of person his wife is like. Believe me, there are several of us here who know exactly what the story is, we've seen it played out many many times among the Manhattan elite.

You could see this story play out in Chicago's working class Southwest Side.

The Irish are addicts.

"Unless a woman happens to fall into a dream career that she truly loves and is making tons of money (or unless she’s working class or lower), she’s just biding time until she can find a man to support her. "

And we all can use this as a benchmark for how much weight to give to Xennial's comments: zilch.

Speaking of maroons.

I like his show Big Mouth. It does an episode where they all take adderall and it's pretty apparent they know a lot about speedy drugs

[quote]Why are you friends with someone miserable?

I used to interview and write about comics and most of them have somehow managed to squeeze five or ten minutes of laughs out of their lonely miserable lives. Still, it's better than being friends with absolutely no sense of humor.

Jeselnik could definitely get it. Nice to hear he likes the sausage.

R456 that was an hilarious right 6 minutes of comedy. He’s a master. I believe him when he said his wife is “not sensitive. I understand the concept of exaggerating reality for comic effect, but he talks about her “toughness” so much, in every routine, that there just be truth to it. He deserves someone who adores him. He’s hugely talented and has done so well for himself. He’s a catch, warts and all. He needs a partner who has his back. The man works his ass off.

I have to wonder if he chose someone who can’t love him unconditionally, because he doesn’t feel he deserves it?

It used to be that a highly successful wife was the ultimate status symbol for successful men.

When did successful men start going for these do-nothing types? Or is it just a Catholic thing?

I would think if the couple doesn’t want kids, that would make it difficult for the wife to justify not working.

Then you have the Birbiglia types. He apparently can’t walk out his front door without fucking up somehow and his wife is equally idiotic. She thought it completely unreasonable to have to show a valid id to fly after 9/11. Never mind that she was driving without a license. His comedy is infuriating because it’s story after story of two snotty, stupid rich kids expecting the rules to be bent for them.

I had no idea Mulaney had so many crazy fans and haters. I guess it's the combination of good looks and some comedic talent (which is rare as most comedians are average to ugly looking).

He always struck me as very nice and friendly. I'm really not shocked he has personal problems and an issue with addiction. Many comics are sad and depressed people who self-medicare. And coming from a rich background doesn't make you any less depressed. At least he is actually seeking help and has the money and resources to do so.

I can totally see John hitting the baths on the DL.

Surprised this hasn't been posted yet.

Hitting the baths on the DL was definitely a married Catholic thing back in the day. I've seen them there.

I’m watching his Netflix specials and really enjoying them, hang in there John and get better.

No, they want to blame the wife because she's his wife. Her background is just an added bonus for their... repartee.

It’s not John’s wife’s fault that he prolapsed but she contributed a little to it.

Not surprising that after I mentioned MulanEy using a publicist in my only other post on this thread that the interns ramped up to bury r431 . Anyone with any sense can see what is happening, guys. Good luck in you future endeavors. There are obviously others here that know comedians, it’s a small world.

In a way, a comedian’s act is the most open an honest they ever are. The closer you become to a comedian the further they can seem because the stage in the only place they feel comfortable because they can hide behind jokes. Jokes that are always thinly veiled insights into their true feelings, no matter how many times they insist otherwise. Always.

Completely agree, R505. Anthony is hot. Big fan of his, but he is about the most intimidating personality ever, though, maybe second only to Eminem. He just oozes "steer clear of me" vibes.

R514, I don’t know if that’s what you meant type or not, but it’s totally awesome either way.

John Mulaney is the only comic I've ever liked.

R487 Even worse. I only heard about John paying for the masters, but if he ended up paying for the bachelors as well, he blew half a million dollars on her educational pursuits. Totally crazy.

[Quote] It is bizarre how much conjecture about class status and personal finances is going on in this thread! Lots of anxiety about money must be floating around everywhere.

We're in the middle of a pandemic and John's issues are not exactly unique. Lots of other people less famous than he is are in much more dire situations. Even people above his league are having trouble due to being spendthrifts or having lots of debt. It's natural that this would be a subject of discussion about any celebrity, especially one with the issues that John is facing right now.

R520 - A little off-topic, but are you finding there are quite a few “known” people who are in rough financial shape due to the pandemic? I figured that was the case, but I think it would be surprising to many people who seem to think that all celebrities have endless cash reserves just sitting in the bank.

Average White Man problems.

The time he went to the doctor for drugs and accidentally got a rectal exam.

Now there’s a rumor he’s been ruined by fisting going around? I guess it’s tied to the blackout drunk and cocaine high?

R521 Yes, but I won't say who here. If I get more specific info, I'll share it in the gossip thread at R87.

[quote]It's standup. It may represent a version of reality. It may have never happened in any way. It's a comedy act. Sorry I have to keep reminding people about this.

Actually that depends on what kind of a comic John is. Some comics find a way to convey stories about things that actually happened in a way that's humorous without actually exaggerating what they're saying. You don't quite know how he rolls.

What we do know is that he keeps repeating stories that all seem to follow the same patterns. He also has spoken about incidents from his act in interviews, off the stage, confirming in a way that the events happened as he says they did. The story about him stealing something from a person's place and forgetting that he did because he was so drunk wasn't an on stage bit. He also doesn't shy away from doing non-traditional speaking engagements where he's not expected to be funny, he is just clearly speaking from his own experience.

So there's a lot more evidence pointing towards him not exaggerating his stories than there is towards him doing so.

[quote] Personality wise, she seems to be very bossy and treats him like shit. Doesn't seem like a healthy marriage.

He describes their relationship in this bit. It seems like he's saying he needs her guidance but he also says she's not bossy. There seems to be a co-dependency there. (And while normally I wouldn't speculate about these things it's fucking Datalounge. It's a gossip board. It's what we do and have for decades!)

I have to laugh at someone complaining about the wife's apparent insensitivity over Mulaney's lack of teen appeal next to Chalamet. Apart from the fact that it was a joke and it may not be true, if it IS true, I should hope she did disabuse him of the notion that he was every little hungry schoolgirl's pride and joy.

R527 Is a big George Michael fan.

You guys do know how standup works, right? John's wife may have said at one time that Timmy Shalamar is hot and then John built a whole bit around it. It doesn't mean the way he told it in his act is the truth. You know, it could have been his friend's wife who said it or something that he completely made up.

[quote]It’s not John’s wife’s fault that he prolapsed but she contributed a little to it.

[quote]It doesn't mean the way he told it in his act is the truth.

What he said was that she made a joke about his height and the rest of his bit was all him exaggerating about her being in love with him. He even points out the next day he came up with a response to it and she had no clue what he was talking about. He's very particular with his words when saying if something happened vs when he's just giving an example that never happened. Whatever gets you through the night!

For the record his mom talked about the Bill Clinton story and said that it was accurate. She also says that 95% of his act is true which I'm guessing is just the stuff about their family that she can verify and was there for. (And you can chalk that last bit possibly up to him exaggerating, changing things because he has to or her not remembering it.) She said he never crosses the line although he didn't ask her permission to talk about her.

R526 It isn't just from the stand up that I've noticed this tension. When John did Comedians in Cars with Seinfeld, there was a scene where Jerry was pressuring him into buying a rug, but he resisted because he knew Anna wouldn't like it. In the last scene of the episode, they are in John's apartment and she gives him a glaring look when she asks [italic] "You both like this one?" [/italic] While obviously Anna was restraining herself, seeing as they were being filmed, you could just tell how pissed she was and how nervous John was in that moment. This was their on camera persona. Imagine the conversation that must have transpired when the crew and Jerry went home for the day.

It's not just a standup bit where he calls her a "bossy little Jew." She really is very controlling and obviously has him enraptured enough to pay for her schooling for so long. It's not a healthy relationship, no matter how much the frau fans try to spin it otherwise. However, John genuinely loves her or he wouldn't have gone to rehab to clean up his act or stayed with her for as long as he has. Whether this saves their marriage is something I can't say for certain, but it really will depend on whether the rehab program works and whether they can change their relationship to something that is emotionally and financially healthier for the both of them. If they don't come out of this with a different dynamic, then it won't last and will end in divorce.

This drunkard seems overpaid and obnoxious with a small, skinny body but I'm most interested by his enormously-deep cheek dimples.

I wonder if they're his main appeal to the general public.

If she was as controlling as you say, he wouldn't be buying drugs let alone stiffing your friendly neighborhood dealer.

His main appeal to public is not his looks. He's a comedian.

While he's in there maybe they can smush his eyes back together so he has a normal face.

R533 He is genuinely very funny and a nice guy. He also has boyish looks, which women seem to really like. He's also a fan of Broadway and show tunes, so obviously he has the support of the elder gays here on the DL.

It's a bit presumptuous to say that he's nice.

It's crazy to me how fast this thread filled up. It's only been two days and we're almost at 600 posts already. I guess it really is true that John is a DL Favorite. He was pushing it when he criticized Biden right before the election, causing some of the elder gays here to clutch their pearls, but this has seemingly brought him some sympathy and also some scorn for his wife (LOL). If he comes out of this ok, I think he'll make a comeback. If he came out of the closet, it would probably break the DL. Not saying he is gay or that he will come out, but if he is and did, it would be one of the most popular threads in our sites history by far, if this thread is any indication.

I think some people are using this thread to get out their anger at Jewish women. He chose her.

Yeah, I think this thread is gaining traction as a means to throw out insults based on religion/ethnicity.

[quote] throw out insults

Mulaney throws out insults. That's what stand-up is all about.

Ok. Is this thread stand up? It's the same point hammered home.

[quote]Yeah, I think this thread is gaining traction as a means to throw out insults based on religion/ethnicity.

We know a JAP when we see one. Those of us in the same social milieu know exactly what we're talking about when it comes to these women. We've seen John Mulaney's story played out in our own circles many, many times.

He'd be better off with an Irish colleen?

r545/546 do us all a favor and stay off this thread, you don't know this world.

I've been watching Mulaney interviews with his buddy Nick Kroll. A couple from Conan and a couple in their Oh, Hello characters. The two were great together. Wonder if Nick's supporting him through this in any way.

If you haven't heard it:

Earlier this year John Mulaney and Nick Kroll took their on stage characters and did a short podcast series with them called,

Oh, Hello: the P'dcast .... The Life and Death of Princess Diana aka "Di-Town."

Yes, the entire thing focuses on Princess Diana. They had a couple of celeb guests and spoke to some royal experts and even invited a psychic to communicate with her all in character.

[Quote] you don't know this world.

What world? A world where people blame someone's addictions on their wife's studies? I don't think I've seen a post in this thread that notes how lots of men LIKE having a wife whom they support financially. Surely your high flying world is aware of traditional gender roles and how the further you go up the food chain, the idea of going dutch... well, it only signifies that the male ain't doing so well. The ladies who lunch reaffirm their husbands' status. The fact that you think she's bleeding him try with no evidence... I suspect "this world" of which you speak is centred around office cubicles and shoebox apartments.

r505 She can stick it in any day of the week.

what makes you think the wife is so fucking innocent? He's been a mess his whole life...maybe he partied with the wife and did drugs with her...

I'm sure they got high together plenty of times..

[Quote] what makes you think the wife is so fucking innocent? He's been a mess his whole life...maybe he partied with the wife and did drugs with her... I'm sure they got high together plenty of times...

It was over the counter medication and it was perfectly safe! I only gave them to you because you couldn't sleep. Don't you go blaming me for your drug addiction, I don't blame my mother for my problems or my drinking.

r550 you have no fucking clue how this segment of society, NYC/Manhattan culture etc. works. Just quit while you're ahead.

I guess this going to Rehab deal has made him extra popular. I always saw him as the "funny white guy from a upper-class background who seems gay but is really straight". He had this white privilege air about him. Going to rehab has made him more relatable, brought him down to earth with the rest of us. Maybe that's what's so surprising about it and why it made the news.

[Quote] you have no fucking clue how this segment of society, NYC/Manhattan culture etc. works. Just quit while you're ahead.

Tell us how it works. How is Annamarie the scourge of the Mulaney household?

More recent pic of hot Anthony.

[quote]What world? A world where people blame someone's addictions on their wife's studies?

As has been explained, her studies weren't going to lead to a profitable career track. She was a celebrity wife who took classes that she fancied, not with any gainful employment in mind.

[quote] I don't think I've seen a post in this thread that notes how lots of men LIKE having a wife whom they support financially.

Yes, some do.

[quote] Surely your high flying world is aware of traditional gender roles and how the further you go up the food chain, the idea of going dutch... well, it only signifies that the male ain't doing so well. The ladies who lunch reaffirm their husbands' status.

That's an outdated concept, but of course some men like having trophy wives. Mulaney couldn't afford it. Annamarie was spending spending spending and harping at him all the time - as he himself has talked about - it seems she either thought he was going to have Seinfeld money in a relatively short time or already had enough to support her like a Manhattan Princess. Of course it's Mulaney's fault for not putting the kibosh on this long ago. Annamarie definitely overestimated Mulaney's worth, and it came crashing down. This is a very, very common story in these circles and things get very ugly when reality sets in. She basically wanted to be Jessica Seinfeld but Mulaney is nowhere near that income bracket.

The poster earlier in this thread with inside info laid it all out nicely, no need to keep going around in circles trying to explain shit to the dumb cunt fraus.

Jeselnik keeps a VERY low profile, you never hear anything about him. I only knew he was gay because of people who work in the industry.

We need to start a thread about how Joanna Newsome is pushing the Lonely Teefs guy TO THE BRINK! She's a musician, right? Is she doing virtual tours? Sync deals? How is she paying her way in times of COVID?

Anthony Jeselnik is currently not involved with anyone; he is single as of 2019. However, he had dated Amy Schumer in 2009, but the couple broke up in 2011.

The reason for Anthony Jeselnik and Amy Schumer’s split remains a mystery. Also, he is not seen with any girls and has not been part of any rumors and controversies. Additionally, Anthony is straight and does not have any children.

CASE CLOSED!

Dreadful tats. Has he hit the wall?

Completely agree that Anthony's tats are dreadful. Of course, ALL tats are dreadful, so there is that.

R561, is he a piggy bottom?

R561 He dated Amy Schumer for fucks sake. If that's not the sign of being gay, then I don't know what is.

So before we get to a part two, what does everyone think is going to happen after John leaves rehab?

The person I was speaking to has no idea what's going to happen next, except that he hopes the time away will give John space to think things through. He's going to need to make some major changes in his life, starting with sorting out his finances. That means he'll probably go back to Seth Meyers' show for the time being and maybe even try to push for something more regular, like a talk show.

I remember a couple of years ago, as I mentioned in the Gossip part 3 thread, that I had heard John was a top contender to fill in Seth Meyers' spot on Late Night if Jimmy Fallon was forced out of the Tonight Show during his own crisis with drinking. After this, though, I really don't think NBC is going to consider him again, unless they can get assurances that John will stay clean and not cause another headache for the network.

Another option is trying to make that Sack Lunch Bunch special into a regular series, but Comedy Central is mostly ditching live action now and focusing on animation, since South Park is [italic] still [/italic] their big money maker, especially after Tosh left. If he can find a way to incorporate more animation into his show, he might be able to do this, especially if his agent pushes hard enough. I thought the Netflix special was pretty good and I'm sure people would watch it, especially with the intrigue of John coming out of rehab.

As for the wife, I have no clue what he's going to do, but I feel like Anna will hold off on divorcing until John gets back on his feet. As I said before, she'd be making a huge mistake to do it now for financial reasons. Plus, she'd look horrible in the eyes of the press and with his fans to just abandon and leave him at his lowest point. So I don't expect any moves being made now. If there is a divorce, it won't happen until later next year.

I think John is going to star in The John Mulaney story, Joan Rivers style. No comment on whether AnnaMarie will pull a Melissa Rivers.

Hey PR and legal team, we'll take note if he succeeds. Otherwise, who cares?

^ The caption says "Not quite babybutt".

What does that mean?

I think Anthony is racist. His Comedy Central show focused so much on making fun of black people and their stereotypes. He had a segment called What Do Black People Smell Like? At first I thought he was doing it ironically to make a bigger point but no, everything was just face value.

Is there any chance that John is faking it all in a desperate attempt to get away from the shrewish cunt wife and have some peace and quiet? As someone above mention he’s going for 60 days not the standard 28 and I’m sure Christmas was always an extra stressful time as he wanted to celebrate the holiday and she’d be berating him and putting Hanukkah front and center. She probably insisted in incorporating her lampshades into the Christmas decorations as well, and that alone could really break a person.

This is the man who brought us “Chalamet, you stay. DuVernay, sashay away!” He must be protected at all costs!

[quote]he talks about her “toughness” so much, in every routine

He doesn't.

[quote]He deserves someone who adores him.

Oh boy.

What’s up with his obsession with the RF?

Likely no different than anyone else's, though it was interesting when the theme of Prince Harry escaping the family came up considering his "escape" into rehab. Honestly, at this point most people are projecting what they want onto he situation, which is impossible not to do with any celebrity. I just never expected Mulaney to get this much focus.

I watched his Netflix specials, and now I’m kinda crushing on him.

I don’t know why, but every time I see this thread title I think of the poem by Frank O’Hara “Lana Turner has Collapsed!” The story goes Frank was rushing to Staten Island, of all places, when he caught the title on the cover of a tabloid about Turner’s unfortunate incident. He wrote the poem on the ferry and blew away the other poet presenting that day because he had just created one of his greatest poems in the time it took him to commute there.

I hope one of our great gayling poets to be opened DL on their phone, saw this and it has inspired them too to write a poem. Until then it’s easy enough to just swap out the the titles and it works well, as I recall it was snowing, raining maybe hailing when I first heard the news of John...

[Quote] On the way to the Staten Island Ferry, O’Hara bought the [bold] New York Post [/bold]

LOL The New York Post...as trashy as ever, based on R1's article.

Speaking of the Post, this quote from this article on Mulaney is such bullshit.

[Quote] An “SNL” source told us, “He has a tight inner circle of friends who have been incredibly supportive by encouraging him to get help and staying super tight-lipped.

Please. If they are speaking to the Post about this, then how fucking tight lipped can they possibly be? Hell, if I'm hearing stuff about this from someone I know, then that "tight inner circle of friends" may be less "tight-lipped" than he realizes. Perhaps part of what he needs to change when he gets out of rehab is his "inner circle."

R582 - Whenever I see information from a “source” I automatically think it’s the person’s publicist. Not sure if that’s the case here?

R584 My guess is it's his parents trying to save face in polite society, though I can't say for sure.

It could be the celebrity's publicist, but those are EXPENSIVE. More likely to have come from NBC, perhaps a publicist attached to Late Night with Seth Meyers. If Mulaney is on the staff and the publicist is getting paid anyway by the show to get it positive press, put him or her to work protecting Mulaney.

Dont know if his wife is a little princess or not, but as somebody who lived in both Chicago and NewYork City, you can be a Lincoln Park social climber (its not like they lived in highland park or winnetka where the athletes, neurosurgeons and hedge funders live) and still feel ridiculously wealthy living within your means in Chicago. If he lived the same lifestyle in NYC, in the West Village where he reportedly lives, he can bankrupt himself on his own without his wife’s help. Add on a coke habit, with no steady paycheck, its not hard to understand how anybody would think he is struggling.

No one here knows his financial status.

You all have him bankrupt. You are a bunch of idiots.

R571, that is Gregg Rosenthal with Anthony. He is the guy he does a podcast with and is his best friend. He's married with kids.

It's been five days now.

Have there been any updates from the hospital?

Relapse? Escape?

I post this with a huge chunk of rock salt because CDAN is shit. But this would support the belief that he's in financial trouble.

Even if he were though, I find it hard to believe he'd have to rely on Seth Meyers to pay for rehab as opposed to his very wealthy parents.

R588 thinks that a man who makes 99% of his money doing stand-up wouldn't be affected by not being able to do stand-up for a year due to a pandemic with no end in sight. Cute.

There is no way a man as witty and observant as Mulaney is completely straight. Simply not possible, not matter how much he tries to deny. The (mostly) covert homophobic vibe in comedy is probably because so many of these guys wish they could jack off with each other but are too tightly wound to make any moves.

Seth behavior in that interview was pretty "real", intelligent and a little pissed off. Now he's paying for John's rehab after getting him a job. He's increasingly interesting.

^ I have to say, with all the "He must be gay because _" shitposting that happens on this site, "He must be gay because he's witty and observant!" is a true original.

R594 I don't understand why they even aired it. Was it a sort of comic intervention? "Let's put this on air in the hopes that he sees what we see?"

The A list talk show host paying for rehab is not Myers but reportedly O'Brien. Conan kept all his staff on salary during the lockdown so I believe this.

[quote] Conan

Those bearing the Irish Curse must help each other lest more catch the Irish Curse.

Conan doesn't have a drinking problem but he does drink. He also did a fair amount of coke in New York. You can easily see it on his early shows.

Aww, that'd be sweet if Conan did that. Do we have receipts?
