In his newand the intervention with his famous friends that got him there.
"Let me just call this out now, I don't mean to be weird. It was a star-studded intervention. It was, like, a good group," Mulaney told the sold-out crowd."It was a good group. As mad as I was when I walked in there, I was like, this is a good lineup, this is really flattering in its own way." "I was going psychotic. I am sitting there in an awful chair, crashing from cocaine," Mulaney recalled."No one will let me go to the bathroom to freshen up and the funniest people are staring at me, refusing to do jokes. It was maddening."
"Getting to do this show, and standing here, listen, I am grateful to everyone at my intervention. They intervened. They confronted me and they totally saved my life," he said. "When I first got to rehab, one of my biggest fears was that everyone was going to recognize me," Mulaney said."Gradually, a new fear took over. I'm not like exaggerating to be funny. F**king no one... no one knew who I was, and it was driving me bananas."
