It is so lovely to see all these comics coming together to help one of their own get clean. That is one hell of a good group of friends. Seth Meyers was one of the people at Mulaney's intervention. Bravo to all for your sincerity & compassion.
I was wondering if this was a different intervention from the Seth one but maybe not?
In person or on zoom? IYKYK 😂
@@dee_dee_place it was both actually hahah i believe nick kroll was on zoom
@@abbiegood25 Jimmy Kimmel was at the intervention also? Wow. I remember when John was on Seth's show, you could see how worried Seth had been about his friend's well-being.
@@dee_dee_place no, the intervention was at Nick Kroll’s apartment, and not sure who was where, but Seth Meyers, Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, Natasha Lyonne and Mike Birbiglia were the comedians there. Marika Sawyer (his former SNL witting partner), David Miner and Cara Masline (the Netflix producers of his last 2 specials) and “Berk” aka Mike Berkowitz (his agent) were there too. The other 2 was Joe (friend from college and his son Malcolm’s godfather) and Kevin (another friend from college). Erica was the therapist who lead the intervention.
Edit: Pete Davidson also was invited to be part of the intervention, but schedule conflicts prevented him to be there. As John said in the special, Pete called him as soon he found out he was in rehab.
John Mulaney and Jimmy together having a casual conversation is absolutely hilarious and authentic. I could've just listened to them for the entire show.
Totally, i was just thinking about the same thing
& It was one of the best interviews i've seen in a long time
he was carrying the usher money so, at least the vegas part wasn't casual 😂
John is lucky to have friends who care, otherwise we could have read some terrible news
Amen Beyond. Thank you
jesus loves you
remember the sad end to other talented comedians, this is refreshing
Sure but now he has to pick up the tab for 12 friends
Exactly
i will always appreciate john mulaney as one of the most effortlessly funny and unique faces in comedy. thank god he’s alive and sober today. i’ll always be rooting for him.
Just wondering, which comedian tries hard to be funny?
@@universal7564 there is a list
@@universal7564 a lot of them try too hard
Effortless!!😂
@@universal7564 Kevin Hart
When we treat addiction like a health issue rather than a criminal issue
we see people get better ❤
I'm happy John is still with us.
i wish people thought the same when it comes to demi lovato, cause they're always making fun of her and sometimes wishing she had died
@@tifypiazzi94 it's because sadly, for whatever reason, women are judged a lot more harshly than men. I say this as a man. It's hard not to notice.
Unfortunately that health issue leads to a lot of criminal issues :(
well he is rich and right.
@@tricursor2481judged more harshly by other women…men tend not to judge each other anywhere near as harshly
Him being honest about his addiction and sobriety is really helping the recovery community and reducing the stigma held around addiction. I think this comedy special is so great in so many ways.
Honestly hearing he was in rehab just before I went for my 3rd time made me feel okay about it all over again. I love that he's so open about it like you said, reducing the stigma a little ❤
@@ll7708first of all Congrats!! And you are so right !
The way he covered his relapse, intervention and recovery in Baby J was brilliant. He was honest, vulnerable and still hilarious. I think he helped a lot of people
Makes me happy to hear that Jimmy Kimmel is a genuinely decent person. Supportive of others.
And he’s an enemy of the MAGA. Coincidence?
But his serious Trump hatred doesn’t reflect well on him. He was unwatchable then. Stop the hate!
@@patriciamay6396 it reflected phenomenally actually
@@patriciamay6396 Jimmy spks for all of trump's victims. SO MANY! He still hasnt paid restitution for fake Univ still!
Always was, his whole family works on his show too
John seems healthier and happier here than I've seen him in a long time. Even the last time he was on Seth post-rehab, I was concerned. I'm rooting for him.
It’s amazing you can see how much more relaxed he is…he’s still funny, but not as frantic/frenetic
it was funny i saw an interview that really had me laughing, he was talking about actually looking his age now, with the grey hair and such and that his earlier life of drinking and drugs kept him immortal and young ! and then he stopped and now look at me !
I have always admired Jimmy's heart. Seriously, when he feels strongly about a human injustice he's not afraid to speak up, and it's genuine and sincere and always from his heart. Finding out he put John up, just adds another layer of character of who he is behind closed doors. Like seriously, young boys should look to him as a role model. As for John, 😂 he's one of the funniest characters out there... Up there with Jimmy, himself.🎉
could not have said it better myself.
jesus loves you🍇🍓🫐🍉🥝🍊🥥🍒🍑🍐🍏🥭🍍🍌🍎🍄🫒
And best part is John brought up what Jimmy did for him instead of it being something he bragged about, which goes to show Kimmel does the right things not for the fame or glamor, but because they are indeed the right things to do!
wait what human injustice? You mean a rich guy doing drugs and not having to be homeless to get into recovery?
@@nadiamccall4311 2 separate points buddy try and keep up lol
No crazy coat or shades... good sign. Good sign.
I kinda miss him all coked up)))))
@@ianagtskI never realized how sad/down coked-up John was until I saw this interview.
@@abbycross90210 in all seriousness, speed addiction is not funny at all when it comes to real life. I’m genuinely happy he could quit that stuff and remain as funny as always if not more. I recommend listening to/watching an episode of the Theo Von podcast with John. It’s really fascinating!
Though his chartreuse suit in the comedy special raises some questions...😂
@@ianagtsk this is crazy
True story: his September show was so funny I went into labor 😂. My son now has two middle names; we added John
that is a win
Love it !
That's fuckin hysterical in and of itself, glad everything went swimmingly and congrats!
Got totally sober about a month before John went to rehab and so far so VERY good. Glad we are both alive and able to laugh about the super rough struggle when one is in the throws of being a slave to chemicals/alcohols. My sister struggled and didn't find her way out of the dark cave of heroin and died. But I digress....So excited, Finally got to see John's new special yesterday. So funny and pro and mature. There are few comedians I wait for on the edge of my seat for new material, he's one of them. Finally "Baby J" is out and totally delivers. Nice work Jimmy on being a supportive friend.
I'm sorry you lost your sister. ❤
Keep up the good work. It's sooo worth it. I'm sober 14 years and it only gets better.
@@karencorbett3250 that's very kind, thanks
@@ElizabethFranquiEsq thank you
Congratulations. You seem like a good person. I hope you have a great support system to help you stay successful and healthy.
There’s an insane interview he did with Seth Meyers on RUclips where he was in a coat and shades and rambling on about all sorts of things and I could see the worry in Seth’s face and I asked myself if John was ok. Months later I found out he went to rehab and was like “Ah. Makes so much sense now.” Glad to see he’s doing so much better. He looks good and happy. The new special is also hilarious. A lot of his stories I related to my own struggles with drugs. Thank you John for being so open and keeping your humor intact throughout. Humor is really the best medicine for everything.
I had this exact experience
Yep, I saw the interview when it was first released, and the expression on Seth's face along with the fact that he opted not to air the segment on TV, was my first clue that John was in trouble. I thought he was so "weird" because of being in lockdown. That's tough on performers. Seth even hired John on his staff as a writer to give him some structure and something productive to do with his time. But I'm sure it was that crazy interview that got Seth and Fred motivated to intervene.
@@TheMonroemomma They spoke about that interview, John said he was more sober at that point and that whole bit was written up by the writing staff. People keep pointing to that as a drug thing but they have said Seth didn't think he had anything wrong at that point.
Seth actually said he didn't notice anything wrong with John.
I really hope he finds continued support and maintains his sobriety.
Selfishly speaking he's my favourite comedian and would like to see him perform for years and years!
That’s not selfish at all !!
I love Jimmy. He always makes me smile and comes off as a genuinely nice guy and John Mulaney's story confirms that.
Fatherhood seems to be treating John well. He seems to be in good spirits and nice to see him be able to make fun of what he went through like a real comedian.
he has a kid???
@@TrinityDarling he mentioned it. 18 months
@@TrinityDarling knocked Olivia Munn up right out of rehab before he was even divorced
Yes VERY good spirits and looking very slender 😉
@@edithputhy4948 Yup. I hope munn and mulaney get the bad karma they deserve. It's such a morally despicable thing that they did.
My daughter saw him live a few years ago and I she met him and got me his autograph. It says, “Hey Aileen, your daughter misses you. John Mulaney.” ❤️❤️❤️
That’s the sweetest thing
The first time is saw Jimmy Kimmel, I didn't think much of him, just a normal talk show host, but the more I know about him, his generosity, how he interacts with his staff and friends, my respect increases for him, he is a great guy and I hope the best for him everyday.
Also John Mulaney is one of my favourite comedians. I hope he stays sober and have a very long career and happy life with his family.
he has improved, as a person, over the years
He also stood up for Conan against Leno, which I liked. Although that might have been more motivated by hatred of Leno haha
@@sadhbh4652 The thing about that was that Kimmel sided with Conan on Leno's show.
John's brutal honesty & ability to make it comedic, without a hint of shame, is inspiring.
He’s brilliant
I've always loved jimmy..especially a few years ago when he did an opening about his infant son go thru heart surgery and the health system corruption that doesn't want to help people of lesser means ..the emotional part and how he appealed to Congress to do more when life threatening issues come up..really showed what a caring person he is...the John mulaney thing continues to prove how much he cares.
I love John. I laughed so hard throughout his delivery. When it was over, my throat closed up and I cried for 30 minutes.
❤
Oh please.
@@karmad4491 no fr
My throat is closing up 8 mins in. This is so beautiful
I loved getting the confirmation that Jimmy is a generous good-hearted person. Additionally, I met Usher about 10 years ago. He is so nice and so cool that it blows you away. My staff served his crew dinner and he gave out real cash tips to everyone. He gave a hundred bucks to each server and $200 to the coordinator.
We went to the same rehab. I’m glad he’s doing well
Hope you are too.
What’s the name of the rehab?
@@kristinflugaur-wessell1063 they really should not say
@@paytonjohnson5964 ok yeah I figured
did you also not recognize him?
The fact that John can laugh about his past addiction and tell the world about it, is a great message to young people.
Yes, you can screw up in life.
But its how you move forward and better yourself that is ultimately the lesson here imo.
He should really turn this into a movie. It can be with a fictional character, but with most of the same information: Comedian friends intervention, latenight talk show host friend halfway house, the trying to be noticed in rehab and everything...would make for a good movie plot.
Also, the pregnancy right out of rehab sounds like a crazy twist that would only happen in a movie. John had a very dramatic couple of years.
Also the way he got addicted as a teenager
I saw Mulaney when he was in Philly for this special. I actually pulled muscles in my abdomen from laughing. I hope John can stay off drugs because we need his comedy to stay around as long as possible.
Saw him in AC - felt the same! He’s just hysterical!
No junk no soul
He took his pain and turned it into art. That special was amazing.
People new to recovery need lots of support. I know from personal experience how necessary and how wonderful that support is. Congratulations to Jimmy on being the good guy he seems to be and to John for beginning his new life:May you have a full and long new life without substances and other addictions
I feel like this is the happiest I’ve ever seen John! So beautiful to see. And I saw his new special live when it was recorded for Netflix, it’s vulnerable and hilarious.
Was there really Henry ? That was so funny how he started like that
❤ I'm so moved and truly impressed by Jimmy welcoming and ("fostering"?) John during his post-rehab transition. He really did treat him like am adopted son! ❤
Learned about this from Seth Meyers. I heard that Fred Armisen was there.
“He said ‘this is not a joke’ but that’s the start to all of Fred’s jokes” -John Mulaney
I love John’s comedic sense, appreciate how difficult rehab is, even more so the time AFTER rehab, glad he was able to get back to work and move forward with good humor ❤
A very intelligent funny man, I always enjoyed the musical skits on SNL, has an askew, wry view on humanity, an experienced comedian, let's hope this rehab sticks.
I'm rooting for you John!
Baby J was hilarious.
Nobody will probably ever see this but. John you are exceptionally brave I'm dealing with alot of the same thing's and I'm so proud of you man. You're such a great comedian and such a good dude. Keep it up buddy.
Big kudos to anyone who is able to overcome addiction. Glad to hear he’s doing better. Hope he continues to stay sober.
John is flat out one of the funniest people I've ever listened to. He's brilliant, and his delivery keeps right up with his mind
We don’t talk enough about how genuinely nice Jimmy is.
Just wish he has the good sense of his friend, Adam Carolla.
Wish he was less political.
@@JimNortonsAlcoholism He does a great job highlighting the hypocrisy of the GOP.
@@anellawrites absolute truth
Hope John does well. Kudos to Jimmy and the comedy crew for helping him.
I absolutely love that Jimmy did that for John!!! ❤️ I know my opinion doesn’t matter but wow that’s really really nice of him 🎉 that’s what’s up Jim!!
A sweet, compassionate opinion from you does matter.
He has an incredible story. I really admire the way he’s turning it around to be more light hearted. He really seems like a great guy
Just watched his Netflix show. So funny, so honest and so brave to put it all out there. Loved it.
so happy he’s well and back🎉
This interview was great and he really has a lot of support, so happy for him
Amazing how he came out of it with such a good attitude. This is 100% a lesson on how to act towards someone with a drug or any kind of addiction problem. It is a sickness and you should absolutely hold them so close. The addicted person is NOT the person you used to know. They're in there somewhere, but it might take a lot to bring them back out. And they will most certainly fight back. But that's not them. Thats the addiction refusing to die. Abandoning an addict to their own will is a certain death sentence.
I love John Mulaney! His special is hilarious. He's loved so much by family, friends, and fans. So glad he's gotten healthy. We want him around for a long, long time.
Just watched the special, loved it! Great work turning such a painful subject into a laughs.
My favorite part about this interview is knowing that Jimmy is a kindhearted, welcoming soul. Makes me happy, man.
I’m so glad John is doing a lot better! Those friends are for sure legends and that’s how you know you got genuine friends. Thank all of those 12 amazing people for doing some good for a good friend in need!!!
"I'll do cocaine but I won't walk around outside without my shoes" actually seems very on brand for John Mulaney
I love John being disappointed no one recognizes him.
I'm so glad he's ok. He's so beloved.
What a legend! Glad to hear he's doing well
jimmy is the right kind of catholic: generous, compassionate, quick to help, slow to judge. love the irish-italians so much.
I love how loved john is by his friends AND his fans
For someone I've never even met, I must say I love this man an unhealthy amount
The best you can hope from any community is that when someone is hurt, they circle the wagons around the one in need. This is heartwarming.
I love John. I think he’s easier to listen to now, relaxing even… and I was cracking uppp watching this special ❤️🩵 I think he’s better than ever 🙏
Jimmy has ALWAYS had a huge heart. Good job looking out bro! And John, damn proud of ya, most people give up and fade away, you did it right, worked your program, surrounded yourself with good people and came back strong. Please use this to inspire those in need of help like your friends did for you!! Understand how lucky you are!! 👍😁 And don't fall off again!!!!!
Might not like Kimmel a lot, but class act on lending his house to someone that needed support.
Mulaney is great! Idk if it's his comedy, honesty, or that 1950s voice that seals the deal. Happy to see Mulaney is thriving and not giving 2Fs of what people think.
I’ve always enjoyed John’s humor So glad to see him back at it Jimmy Kimmel is even more kind and caring than I ever knew We should all strive for that ❤❤❤
Dude John did a good job coming back... I'm glad because he's a comedy gem...
This was a great interview with John. He did seem healthy and good. I sure hope so. 😻😻😻
Not many celebs would be as candid and honest as john was. Good for you John!!!
This interview had me crying. 😂 I’m so glad he was receptive to the intervention. It didn’t have to go that way. He’s so funny! Glad he’s better and hope he continues on this path! Peace and blessings!
I'm always happy when a good comedian releases a special, not just for the special but because we get to see them in all these interviews.
Mulaney is always hilarious! Love watching his interviews.
Saw his special immediately because I know just how funny this guy is. He seems like a good guy and I wish him all the best!
Saw John's latest special. I was wondering when he was going to do the next one, I love his brand of humor. When I finally seen it I had to watch it twice.. I didn't know he relapsed.. There was a couple spots that was hard to listen to but I figured if he was going to talk about it, I should listen. I'm just glad he had the support system between his friends and family, then with Jimmy. I always knew Jimmy was a great guy, but what he did speaks volumes.
it is Great to hear that jimmy k is a loyal friend extremely rare
Sweet of Jimmy. And brave 😅. Well done, John Mulaney
Thank you John for your openness 🖤
Seems like Jimmy is a real bro! Even more admirable to see that hes there like a big brother when you need him!
He has very Great friends. He is loved and cared to do the intervention. Glad he made it and made a special out of it
So so sweet Jimmy. Thank you for your kindness and hospitality…really brought tears to my eyes. Money for the day???? God bless you Jimmy. Love you.
Loved this special and as someone who’s struggled with addiction it was just strangely heartwarming/ helpful to watch.
Not strange at all! You are not alone !
That was awesome. I do love when Jimmy laughs from his gut. And thank you John for your honesty. I will watch your special because of this interview.
Gods bless, Jimmy and Molly. Hearts of gold. Truly
John Mulaney is a National Treasure!!
We must keep him safe at all costs, always!!!
He is the best! I’m so glad this recovery was successful. Hope he can keep it.
Your the sweetest Jimmy for helping a friend 🥰
This makes me like Jimmy so much.
John mulaney is an inspiration. His journey has been interesting to follow and watching him be the funniest and most honest he's ever been is just great.
I love this guy so much! Been watching him for years! Glad you are well John M.!
John and Jimmy, my 2 favorites!! ❤❤
Wow. Hats off to Mulaney! He’s always so funny to me 🥰
John, I'm so glad you got help! Please keep going to meetings-- we need your light now more than ever 🤩
Good save Jimmy. I'm so happy for John. He looks so good, perfect posture, good skin tone. He is a treasure. Love you guys so much!
Hell yeah, John. Just started rehab myself. Congratulations 🎉
Congrats to you!
Jimmy missed a great opportunity at the commercial break to say "John's still gonna be here, because we took his shoes"
I pray that he stays clean and sober. What a funny guy.
I am glad everything turned out so well for John and I am hoping all happiness to his first wife!!
This was Fgggg GREAT! knocked the stigma on its arse. What good friends you have.
Life is the best source of material. Harry Stack Sullivan said, “we’re all more alike than otherwise.”
Glad you’re back, Johnno!
John is easily one of the best comics of any generation.
I remember when people were talking about Pete Davidson's drug habits in a concerning way and he appeared with John Mulaney on a talk show and it really seemed like John was steering Pete in a more stable direction. So it was really surprising when this story dropped. He did say in the special that he never did drugs with Pete which in hindsight is also surprising.
I've never seen Kimmel this genuine and close with a guest. I want to hear them talk more on a personal format
So happy he’s doing better
I can’t even speak….. I can’t express…. I love LOVE this entire interview. I am so happy to see John again. He is such an Amazing Person!!!!!
Y’all are flipping awesome!!!!! (Just like my friends) xoxo
I like jimmy helping out a friend like that we all need a jimmy in our life 😊
Love to see you back, John M ❤
