LOS ANGELES – It seems John Mulaney is having 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 that he and “Newsroom” star Munn married in June during an interview Monday on “Late Night With Seth Meyers.” After showing off a new ring on his finger and calling his marriage “the best,” Mulaney also praised his wife’s Vietnamese family, including Munn’s mother, Kim Munn, who was in the audience.
“Marrying into a big Vietnamese family is one of the most fun things I’ve ever done,” he said, adding, “They’re the best, man.”
During Monday’s interview, Mulaney said 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 “everywhere” he goes. He also offered the audience a rendition of his in-laws’ Vietnamese Oklahoma accent.
“I do it, but because it has to be done and besides, there are at most seven people in the world who could be offended by that accent,” he said, before imitating the accent of a father-in-law.
In addition to describing the idiosyncrasies of some of his in-laws, Mulaney said that marrying Munn has given him new acquaintances: Asian grocery stores — including H Mart and Super Cao Nguyen in Oklahoma City — and Little Saigon in Orange County.
“There are fruits, jackfruit and durian, that look like ‘Avatar’ fruits,” Mulaney joked. “They’re all new fruits.”
Mulaney, 41, and Munn, 44, said “I do” during a private ceremony at a friend’s home in New York, a source confirmed to People. They married after three years of dating and welcomed their 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 an autobiography) ended their marriage in May 2021. Hours before Mulaney appeared on “Late Night” on Monday, Munn shared a video of her husband and child doing “the exact same fidgeting” 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’ve been able to capture it,” Munn wrote in the caption.
