‘And it was going to be, you know, an animated movie for him. And it was just these dirty bones,” John said.

Olivia revealed in March that she was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and underwent four surgeries in 10 months, including a double mastectomy.

She thanked her doctors in the Instagram post revealing her battle with cancer and also singled out John to praise him.

‘I am so grateful to my friends and family for loving me through all of this. I am very grateful to John for the nights he spent researching what each operation and medication meant and what side effects and recovery he could expect.

“For being there before I went to every surgery and being there when I woke up, always putting up framed photos of our little Malcolm so he would be the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes,” Olivia posted. John in the comments thanked Olivia for fighting so hard to be with him and Malcolm.

John and Olivia began dating in 2021 and have a two-year-old son, Malcolm Hiệp Mulaney, together.

The Netflix special John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s In LA will air live during Netflix Is A Joke Fest starting Friday with additional episodes airing each night from May 6-10.

John will also be at the Hollywood Bowl on Saturday night as part of the festival.

The 41-year-old comedian appears with his son Malcolm and girlfriend Olivia Munn on Instagram last November.

David Letterman, Jerry Seinfeld, Jon Stewart, Sarah Silverman and Cedric The Entertainer will be on John’s show which will explore all things Los Angeles.

Dr. Lucy Jones, a seismologist well known to Los Angeles residents, will also be part of the special.

John said he asked Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth, 69, to be part of the special, but he declined.

He originally wanted Diamond Dave to be the bandleader and then sought him out as a guest to talk about his life in Altadena.

“I didn’t know how to appeal to him. It’s David Lee Roth, I should call him and say, let’s party, and maybe he’ll show up,” John joked.
