John Mulaney hints at unequal ‘distribution of labour' at home with Olivia Munn

John Mulaney has returned as a sixth-time Saturday Night Live host.

The comedian, 42, debuted his November 2 return with musical guest Chappell Roan.

Mulaney dedicated his opening monologue to his life as a father of two.

"I've been great. My wife and I just welcomed a baby girl into our family," he shared with the audience.

"We have a five week old daughter," he explained, as well as a "two year old son."

He then made a hilarious jibe at the family dynamics with his wife-actress Olivia Munn—indicating she keeps his favourite part of parenting for herself.

"My wife takes care of the 5 week old and I take the two year old out. And that's not fair," Mulaney joked.

He continued with a playful analogy of the difference in the childcare, "That's not an equal distribution of labour at all. Saying you have a 5 week old, I'll take a two year old. That's like saying 'I'll transport this convict across state lines, you hold a potato."

The couple welcomed their daughter Méi June via gestational surrogate on September 14. The couple also share 2-year-old son Malcolm Hiệp.

As the show was about to come to a close, Mulaney gave a shout out to his children after thanking others involved in the show.
