The comedian recaps a whirlwind year; including a stint in rehab, a relapse, a separation and divorce, an intervention and second rehab stay before meeting Munn.
Over the last couple of days, the celebrity rumor mill has been going into overdrive that Olivia Munn was perhaps pregnant and that the father was comedian John Mulaney. Well, cut to Tuesday, and Mulaney confirmed the rumors himself hanging with Seth Meyers on "Late Night."
The confirmation, which he said actually made him nervous, came during a brief recap of his whirlwind past year, which started with him checking himself into rehab last September, including an intervention and another stint in rehab and then his ongoing recovery.

"I host 'Saturday Night Live' on Halloween, I relapse on drugs after the show," Mulaney continued, quickly clarifying that he doesn't mean directly after the show, but that was the next big thing that happened to him.
He then talked about how it was Meyers himself and some other friends who staged the intervention that got him back into rehab, after he'd taken a job at "Late Night" he said (or jokes) he barely remembers.
"Then in the spring I went to Los Angeles and met and started to date a wonderful woman named Olivia," Mulaney continued, quipping, "She got to date me right out of recovery, which is what they call a reverse-catch."
