At a Columbus, Ohio stop for his From Scratch tour, comedian Dave Chappelle turned up as a surprise opener, and indulged in his usual transphobic material - does he talk about anything else these days? - to the dismay of some attendees. Now, a year out from the divorce headlines, it seems as if Mulaney doesn’t know them, or never quite noticed how they made his star rise. After enjoying their favorite jokes and specials so many times, could it be they didn’t know him at all? The meek and relatable awkward character he brought to the stage seemed incompatible with this kind of whirlwind Hollywood drama. When comedian John Mulaney finished a stint in rehab, filed for divorce from wife Anna Marie Tendler and confirmed a relationship (and pregnancy) with actress Olivia Munn in the span of a few months, his fan base was genuinely shocked.
