John Mulaney revealed in a podcast interview Monday that he takes financial care of wife Olivia Munn\u2019s large Vietnamese family, adding that it brings him \u201cgreat joy to help out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sitting with host Mike Birbiglia on his \u201cWorking It Out\u201d podcast\u2019s 200th episode<\/a>, the comedians discussed Mulaney\u2019s current \u201cMister Whatever\u201d international tour<\/a>, and teased material in which the Emmy-winning standup discusses his relationship with his extended family since marrying Munn in 2024. <\/p>\n \u201cSo Olivia has a large \u2014 she\u2019s Vietnamese, and she has a large Vietnamese family in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, of which I am one of the significant financial contributors,\u201d Mulaney revealed. \u201cFor the first 39 years of my life, I supported zero Vietnamese people \u2014 probably none \u2014 and now I have 10 on the books.\u201d<\/p>\n Riffing off an anecdote in which he takes nine of Munn\u2019s family members shopping, Mulaney emphasized that he loves that he can financially assist his growing family, considering his parents never had to rely on his success to get by. His mother and father are both lawyers, while his mother-in-law and her relatives are largely Vietnamese refugees to the U.S. <\/p>\n \u201cWith parents of some success, you can\u2019t really do anything for them. And it brings me great joy to help out, to help and do fun things for Olivia\u2019s family,\u201d Mulaney said. <\/p>\n Birbiglia pressed on how Mulaney\u2019s success affects his impression of Munn\u2019s family, asking, \u201cAre you thinking that when you\u2019re having a nice relationship with them, that in the back of their mind they\u2019re thinking: I wonder if he\u2019ll send me $1,000?\u201d<\/p>\n Mulaney quipped that there isn\u2019t any wonder about what they\u2019re thinking. They\u2019ll just come out and say it. <\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s no wonder. In the back of the mind? You mean the front of the voice? The front of the voice \u2014 the words coming out of their mouth?\u201d he joked. \u201cHow refreshing, by the way, to be in a goddam white family, never talk about money at all.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cOlivia\u2019s family says, \u2018How much money do you have?\u2019\u201d Birbiglia asked. \u201cI actually like that. \u2018How much money do you have?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cYeah, I tell them, they love it,\u201d Mulaney said. \u201cThey couldn\u2019t like it more.\u201d<\/p>\n Mulaney is currently touring \u201cMister Whatever\u201d across the U.S. with the next string of dates coming up Jan. 29 in Seattle. Later this spring, he\u2019ll headline the Hollywood Bowl in Lost Angeles as part of the city\u2019s Netflix Is a Joke comedy festival<\/a>. <\/p>\n Munn and Mulaney began dating in 2021 and married in July 2024. They have two children. <\/p>\n Listen to the full episode of \u201cWorking It Out\u201d here<\/a>. <\/p>\n
