The Secret Service confirmed that it opened up an investigation on John Mulaney following jokes he made on 'Saturday Night Live' in 2020. The file noted that Mulaney “exhibits inappropriate behavior.”

While the file notes that the agency did not interview Mulaney, the comedian told Kimmel he did speak to an investigator about the incident. “Am I stoked there’s a file opened on me? Absolutely. Did I enjoy it in the moment? Not so much,” he said. “But the person vetting me was very understanding.” He said that the investigator understood his bit had nothing to do with Trump and that “it was an elliptical reference to him,” he explained.

Kimmel asked if there was anything else they should know about, referring to any “online rants” or manifestos against Trump. “I said, ‘No, I have bad writing habits, I could never pound out a manifesto,’” he joked. In the end, Mulaney said he has been “cleared by the Secret Service, I’ve been told.” The comedian checked into a Pennsylvania rehab facility last month for alcohol and drug abuse. Shortly before entering rehab, he took a job as a writer on“I really needed a job,” he told Kimmel. “One, I like having a boss and having assignments to do. When I’m in charge of something, not so much the best thing.”

'You ever had a joke played in court before?'

Srsly?

Lenny bruce vibes

“Do you want me to kill that guy for you?”

I’m in tears

?wtf?

ok

This is extra hilarious if you remember his bit about jokingly offering his friend from college to „kill his landlord for him“ and getting summoned for it during the trial 😂😂

Are you serious!?!? And no one will investigate “T(Dump)” for saying he sexually assaulted women by grabbing them by the pu**y? And for inciting riots? What a joke! No worries though, because he will get impeached and no more secret service. :)

😂😂😂

the way they took a joke more seriously than literal white supremacists planning to storm the capital on various social media platforms

Too bad they didn’t take the public social media comments of those planning sedition as seriously as they took a comedian’s comments.

But Bannon, out on parole, could speak about beheading Fauci, and not have his parole revoked. 🤔

Leave Johnny alone

why? donald trump is a joke.

this is so inappropriate 🙄

what

What the- NO JOHN WHAT

Article cites FBI file as 'not[ing] that the agency did not interview Mulaney,' then quotes the comedian as saying an FBI investigator was 'very nice in the interview.' Hey Rolling Stone, I'm available for editing, which your mag clearly requires.

Really

I have too many jokes in my head about the “exhibits inappropriate behavior” part. But they’re in bad taste and I love him too much.

hes so threatening 🙄🙄

what ✋💀

“although no direct threats were made, due to the popularity, it is likely concerned citizens will report this' no it isn't lmao

such inappropriate behavior

yeah and

youre right this is rlly inappropriate behavior 😕

yes you shall fear him!! he’s awful frightening!!

priorities.

Did they ever get around to checking on the Trump/Putin bromance? Since they have all a that free time and what not...

Secret Service made a 27-page file on the couple minutes joke is the reason teacher give us essay homeworks in elementary school

this horse i swear smh

But Trump can say in front of millions of people that he could 'shoot someone in the middle of 5th avenue' and that's okay? 🤦‍♀️

The Secret Service opens files automatically on people who make threats, even jokey ones. The fact that he's an addict isn't a factor in these decisions. It's just automatic.

WTH with all the far-right terrorists they go after a comedian! I will say they are worse in India jailing a comedian before they even tell a joke. I don't understand the mentality

Boy, do I have a tip for the Secret Service... but the inappropriate account has been suspended. 🤷‍♀️ whaddayado?

Wear it like a damn badge 😂

People have citing Shakespeare's 'Scottish Play' and Julius Caesar all over Twitter...

“The joke was about how it was a leap year & leap year had been started by Julius Caesar to correct the calendar & another thing that happened w/ Caesar was that he was stabbed by a bunch of senators ’cause he went crazy...I said ‘That’s an interesting thing that could happen’”

Wait until they find out about twitter.

Waste of taxpayer $. He’s a comic trying to be funny

oh god so he really did kill princess diana

SMH... Sounds like some thing from the early 60s.

😂

Inappropriate behavior? Compared to Trump?

Oath Keeper claims she met with Secret Service before Capitol riotA leader of the far-right 'Oath Keepers' group charged in the deadly U.S. Capitol riots said she was in Washington on Jan. 6 to provide security for legislators and meet with Secret Service agents, according to a court filing. Jessica Watkins, 38, is one of nine associates of the anti-government group charged with conspiring to storm the Capitol to prevent Congress from certifying President Joe Biden's election victory. Prosecutors said Watkins entered the Capitol building illegally. Retweet if you believe the 17 Republican AGs, including Ashley Moody (the daughter of a federal judge), who backed Trump in the far-fetched election lawsuit should be held accountable.
