Mulaney was sober from 2005 to 2020. He has 15 years of recovery under his belt. Relapse happens but you don’t lose that clean time experience you had. Everyone’s recovery looks different and as a recovering addict I am proud he got up and talked even laughed about it because you have to! It helps remind you how it was and where you are now and where you are going! Well done John!

Same. I’ve found that it’s so much easier to stay sober when I can go to my support system and say, “I WANT DRUGS, HELP!” Just being able to say it out loud alleviates the pain so much. I’m glad you have support! The wanting never goes away, but it definitely gets easier with time to not scratch the itch. I’ve always compared it to scratching an itch. At first, it’s like having chicken pox and needing pot holders duct taped to your hands, so you don’t scratch. It has now become like feeling a mosquito bite and just being able to put some mental Benadryl on it. It’s also way easier when you have people around who can tell you not to scratch. ❤️

@@heatherfeather7199 Totally see what you mean. It's interesting, there's definitely a weird thing about this kind of "my self is the art" artist where the line between lived experience and onstage persona is blurred. As though only by turning himself into this quirky character can he make sense of who he is and what happened to him. Wes Anderson's Life Aquatic explored this idea, blurring the line between the character's lived experience and his self-conscious performance for the documentary of the experience. In the end, there's no way to really separate them, because mugging for the camera is part of who he is. What was interesting about Baby J is how hyper-aware John is on his public persona throughout the story, from the way he puts out the newspaper at the rehab clinic to the way he tries to take control of the narrative at the intervention. He refers to Mulaney in the third person A LOT. But at the end, he makes clear that his final story isn't the worst of it, it's just the worst he's willing to disclose to us. So that's probably a healthy boundary. After all, we still have to like him in order for him to ply his trade. But he's also acknowledging that the person he's been telling us about is only the edited version of who he had become, not a fictionalized rewriting of history.

In recovery, I’ve heard it said to newly sober people, “Get a plant, and if it’s still alive after a year, get a dog.” It’s widely advised to not start a relationship in the first two years of recovery, because getting sober is just the beginning of the real work of finding out why you needed the substance and learning other ways to cope without it. That takes time and a dedication that is very energy consuming. I love John and I hope he stays sober and dedicated to healing.

I went to rehab this year. You have no idea how much an “I love you” can mean to somebody mentally struggling. I never get off a phone call with friends/family without saying it.

This just makes me respect Not only john but Seth even more. Takes a lot of guts and humility to talk about this so freely on Live tv and it had to help a ton having Seth being such a good friend.

So much respect for John for speaking so honestly about the reality of his addiction. Likewise for Seth; neither of these men is in an easy position getting through this, but you can clearly feel the friendship and support through this interview. Love JM! When they say "i love you" to each other it's all the feels.

The: "How was it for you?" about the intervention, his laugh 😭😭😭🤣🤣

I feel really bad for Seth in all of this but so glad he stepped in. Sounds like he "gave" John the job to keep an eye on him. He's a good friend.

The hypocrisy of the war on drugs is on full display here. If you're a rich cocaine addict your friends organize an intervention, you go to rehab, and then maybe you get to talk about it as a humorous story on a comedy talk show. If you're a poor cocaine addict you go to jail, then live with the stigma of being an ex-con, possibly felon, for the rest of your live.

@@EmpyreanLightASMR There are plenty of kind words in this comment section. "Kindness" does not always mean "positivity." Most of the comments are stating they are concerned or worried for him, specifically because these commentators are NOT naive about the lifestyle or what it means. Mulaney is in his first year out of rehab, and the first year is very fragile. You're not supposed to make _any_ big life changes, and Mulaney has made at least three, some of the biggest life changes one can make, in fact. Stating concern for that or acknowledging that it's basically a bomb of a situation waiting to explode is not "mean" or "unkind." Just the opposite, it is the most kind to tell someone you like and love that you think they're making a bad decision. Think of it this way; if you were about to step over a cliff, would you prefer someone say "I'm scared for you, please reconsider" or "Go for it, you can do it"? One of these is a kind thing to do. The other is "toxic positivity."

It might be a comfort to point out that he seems to know this as well. Look at the way he looks at Seth when he says he's glad it's all behind him. This isn't a it's behind you thing. Throughout the conversation he also never describes himself as cured, merely as doing better know. I have some addictive tendencies and haven't struggled through rehab (and hopefully won't have to because I mostly struggle with only cigarettes), but I've read infinite jest and it's a pretty extensive read on dealing with addiction and talking about it. He's definitely still in the danger zone (because I think he'd have to leave Hollywood to be out of it) but it does seem like he's surrounded by people looking after him.

That is some realness there. Seth is a great friend, and this conversation is a humble little way to keep John accountable for his progress and also to give us something other than the trenchcoat and glasses to remember him by.

No. People are gross, but you sadly will never be able to stop them from saying what they want about you. You have to take yourself out of the equation. I doubt, or at least really hope he isn't, John is obsessing over what people are saying about him and reading these comments. I don't approve of the majority of things people are saying about him, but they aren't me and they aren't you. We aren't them to change their minds and delete the paragraph before posting it. You know? I wish we lived in a world where empathy was more of a thing. We don't. We have to remove ourselves from situations like this for our own sake. All addicts deal with the court of public opinion, mainly family and friends for the average person, on some level. John unfortunately is at a major level. It's still our duty to remove ourselves from the situation if it is detrimental to our recovery.

John is an intelligent man; as awkward as this interview is it takes a lot of strength to be this vulnerable in the public eye. I am looking forward to see how he will proceed to take on comedy with these new theme now that his "clean cut" image has changed. It would be nice if his future work could humanize addiction.

We just saw him live last night for his 3rd show on his new tour. I'll say it was great to see him up there. He connected with an audience member who was in rehab as well. It was a special moment for sure. Lots of laughs and he told his story and is making the best of it.

I’ve got to say, John is so brave to publicly acknowledge his addiction, and is actively trying to better himself, keep it up man!

anyone else notice that he's doing exactly what they tell you not to do within a year of leaving rehab? in a relationship, having a baby, etc

Yeah, it’s crazy how someone can be the reason your life is better and I wouldn’t get through this without you and I promise to love you forever, to divorced and having a kid with the next person you meet so quick after. We obviously can’t speculate on their personal issues, but the general idea that this happens to so many people and in this case it’s publicized, I mean that just sucks :/

This video popped up in my feed for weeks now, and I ignored it because of the title. "I don't really care what he's been up to," I said to myself. I regret not watching this video sooner. I love John so much and hearing this story concerning drugs is so real. I appreciate his honesty and support him 100%

I came away with more respect for John after watching this interview. First of all, even when talking about his pain he's incredibly funny. Second, I applaud anyone that is honest about their addiction and recovery.

I am so thankful that John is okay - and feel privileged to be able to listen in what feels like a personal conversation between two close friends.

I’m really glad to see some honest and candid reactions in the comments. Having 30 years’ sobriety, I can tell you that I’m still worried for John, but thrilled that Seth and other friends are so supportive. And I hope Anna is okay. Most of all, this baby needs love and support and I wish the baby all the best.

I'm also worried! We usually say don't date in the first year in addition to making any other huge life changes... Having a baby is a GIGANTIC life change and is so challenging. When times are hard with a baby, you want to check out so badly... I don't know why I'm so stressed over a celebrity but I am! Possibly because I just had a baby myself and have been sober for a few years... It's just a lot of red flags ☹️

Same here- my Dads (hopefully he never talks about it with me) 20th AA birthday is in December and I now for a fact if he saw this he would be worried.

This brought tears to my eyes. Such a sweet friendship.

At 09:36, I understand what he means. When you're really struggling and in deep depression, every day or time that you didn't give into an addiction seems like a huge victory. And knowing how hard it was not to give in and how much restraint it took to resist the temptation, you almost can't believe you didn't give in. It might not seem like a big deal when you put everything in perspective, but when you're in the thick of it, even 1 time of not giving in is a huge deal.

Damn Seth is a really good friend. You can tell how much love they have for each other as friends which is So cool to see. Thanks to both of you for bringing us so much laughter and joy in our lives ✊🏽

The more I learn about Seth Meyers, the better he seems. He's always gone out of his way to showcase his friends' talents. He gives credit to his writers, he has supported Amber's show, and he gives Wally a chance to shine and probably make more money by being on air. He is absolutely the type of guy who would help plan an intervention for his friend and then stick close to him to make sure he doesn't relapse. Mulaney is a super talented guy that any show would be lucky to have when he's sober, but I feel like Seth is the one who would take him on in any condition, just to have him nearby. I understand that Seth didn't recognize the problem as soon as he could have because he needed an outside perspective, but giving John that segment when he wasn't at his best probably saved his life. Once the audience pointed out that he seemed off it sounds like Seth and their other friends took a step back and made the realization that probably saved his life. I'm glad that such a genuinely good person has this platform and these resources. There are so many complete and utter dicks in the entertainment industry. It's nice to see the good guy get ahead. Mulaney seems like a genuinely nice person with a lot of love to give too, but he's got to love himself. Most addicts hurt people when they're caught up in their disease, and the nice ones tend to dwell on the guilt so much that it drives them back to it. I hope he has genuinely come out the other side of this, but this seems like a critical time that will make or break him.

This is one of the most real interviews I’ve seen and to have 2 good friends have a real conversation is amazing.

"If it is triplets, can we name the ugliest one Seth." There are lots of nuggets in here that just show how absolutely sharp Mulaney is. So glad he got help.
