History Creator / JohnMulaney

John was married to make-up artist Annamarie Tendler from 2014 to 2021. After their separation and a stint in rehab for drug abuse (his former addiction had previously been a large theme in his stand-up specials), he confirmed in September 2021 that he is expecting a child with actress Creator/OliviaMunn; his son was born later that year.

In 2018, he broke into film acting by voicing ComicBook/SpiderHam in ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManIntoTheSpiderVerse'', and in 2019 he starred in ''Film/JohnMulaneyAndTheSackLunchBunch''. His next role was Chip in the 2022 film adaptation of ''Film/ChipNDaleRescueRangers'', and will be followed by yet another voice role as Jack Horner in ''WesternAnimation/PussInBootsTheLastWish'' the same year.

* AluminumChristmasTrees:
** A lot of people were surprised to find out that not only are JJ Bittenbinder and his classes on "STREET SMARTS!" real, but John was ''not'' exaggerating Bittenbinder's cartoonish mannerisms. The actual Bittenbinder is apparently not a fan of his depiction in John's routine, either.
** The part of ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'' where Ice-T's character learns about sex addiction happened [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwdkNhPV3ss exactly like John described it]] during his ''New in Town'' bit. Even the specific phrasing of "bets the house on the ponies" is intact.

* IAteWhat: One of John's many ([[TheTysonZone supposed]]) acts of AlcoholInducedIdiocy while blackout drunk involves this.
-->'''John:''' Here's a story I once heard about me: I guess I was 20, and I was at a party at someone's house, and I blacked out drinking, and someone came out of one of the rooms at this party holding, like, an old, antique bottle with some liquid in it, and they said, "Hey, is this whiskey or perfume?" And apparently, I grabbed it, drank ''all of it'', and said, "It's perfume!" And it was.

* OncePerEpisode: All three of his stand-up specials include bits about pop culture (such as ''Film/BackToTheFuture'' in ''The Comeback Kid''), dissections of others' words (''New in Town'''s titular routine), and all three of his finales are storytelling routines starring himself ("The Salt and Pepper Diner" in ''The Top Part''). ''Kid Gorgeous'', however, seems to avoid all three.

* RaisedCatholic: He's no Creator/StephenColbert, but he's still practicing in a classic Christmas-and-Easter sense. In ''The Comeback Kid'' he even jokes that contrary to not being particularly churchgoing, he had all the words and steps to the service memorized and was "batting .400" till they changed the response to the priest saying "Peace be with you". In ''Kid Gorgeous'', he says that while not religious himself (and even joking about it), he gets defensive when people make fun of religious people because his mother still is.

* CultureClash: Referenced in ''Kid Gorgeous''; John's wife, being raised in a secular Jewish household, thinks that ''Art/TheLastSupper'' portrays the disciples eating Thanksgiving, with Jesus sitting in front of a '''turkey.'''

* IrishmanAndAJew: When he and [[Series/KrollShow Nick Kroll]] perform together, he's the Irishman to Kroll's Jew. And, of course, his wife is Jewish as well.

* FeelingTheirAge: Discussed in ''Kid Gorgeous'' -- where John states that he's at the stage before "old" -- he's "gross", and says he feels a lot damper than he used to.

* HappilyMarried: He never misses a chance to dote on his wife in his stand-up, even while making fun of her.

-->'''John:''' And you have the ''AUDACITY'' to ask me for more money?! What kind of cokehead relative is my college? You ''spent it already''? I gave you more money than the Civil War cost, and you fucking '''''spent it already?!'''''

-->'''John:''' Now, I go into this place one day, when I'm eleven, with my best friend John. I should say that his name is ''also'' John. I'm not calling myself my own best friend. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial It's a separate human being.]]

--> “We are not so different, you and I. You have your law practice and I have all these fuckin' markers.”

* NotSoDifferent: How he describes his relationship with his father. His father believes he has no morals because he’s a Democrat and compared him to a Nazi when he was only seven years old, but he always respected him when he could get away with watching TV when not allowed.

** He claims that the best heckling he ever got was actually when he was in the audience for another comedian's act. The comedian, getting sick of John's highly recognizable AnnoyingLaugh, called out to the audience, "all right, John? You don't hear me laughing at ''your'' shows!"

** The "horse in a hospital" routine is an unsubtle parody of both the Trump administration and the media circus surrounding it.

John Edmund Mulaney (born August 26, 1982, in Chicago, Illinois) is a stand-up comedian, actor, comedy writer, Irish Catholic, and oh yeah, [[MemeticMutation The Salt And Pepper Diner guy.]] Born in Chicago, Mulaney became a huge comedy fan at an early age, and he and his best friend would act out skits in junior high for his class. He is a graduate of Georgetown University in English Literature, and shortly after he moved to New York for a career in comedy.

-->'''John:''' And we're surrounded by this seemingly indifferent staff, you know? ''(mimes cleaning)'' Just like, "Yep, same crap as always."
