It seems John Mulaney has no trouble getting along with his new in-laws, months after he and Olivia Munn quietly tied the knot.
The “Everybody's in LA” comedian confirmed during an interview Monday on “Late Night With Seth Meyers” that he and “Newsroom” star Munn tied the knot in June. After showing off a new ring on his finger and calling their marriage “the best,” Mulaney also praised his wife’s Vietnamese family, including Munn’s mother, Kim Munn, who was seated in the audience.
“Marrying into a big Vietnamese family is one of the most fun things I’ve ever done,” he said before adding: “They’re the best, man.”
During Monday's interview, Mulaney shared that his mother-in-law was a refugee who immigrated to Oklahoma after the Vietnam War. Kim met her ex-husband Winston Munn in Oklahoma and they welcomed Olivia in July 1980. Mulaney joked that his in-laws call him by his full name and accompany him “anywhere” he goes. He also offered the audience a rendition of his in-laws' Oklahoma Vietnamese accent.
“I will do it, but it's because it needs to be done and besides, there are at most seven people in the world who could be offended by this accent,” he said, before imitating the accent of a father-in-law.
In addition to detailing some of his in-laws’ quirks, Mulaney also said his marriage to Munn has taken him into new spaces: Asian grocery stores, including Oklahoma City’s H Mart and Super Cao Nguyen, and Little Saigon in Orange County.
“There are fruits, like jackfruit and durian, that look like fruits from Avatar,” Mulaney joked. “They’re all new fruits.”
Mulaney, 41, and Munn, 44, tied the knot during a private ceremony at a friend’s home in New York, a source confirmed to People. They tied the knot after three years of dating and welcomed son Malcolm Hiệp in November 2021.
The comedian confirmed his romance with Munn in September 2021, months after he and ex-wife Anna Marie Tendler (who just released a memoir) ended their marriage in May 2021. Hours before Mulaney appeared on “Late Night” Monday, Munn shared a video of her husband and son doing “the exact same motion” with their hands. The clip also shows a ring on Mulaney’s left ring finger.
“Malcolm has been doing this since he was 10 months old, but this is the first time I was able to capture him,” Munn wrote in the caption.
