    It is so lovely to see all these comics coming together to help one of their own get clean. That is one hell of a good group of friends. Seth Meyers was one of the people at Mulaney's intervention. Bravo to all for your sincerity & compassion.
  • John is lucky to have friends who care, otherwise we could have read some terrible news

    When we treat addiction like a health issue rather than a criminal issue we see people get better ❤ I'm happy John is still with us.
  • @JayTee553
    i will always appreciate john mulaney as one of the most effortlessly funny and unique faces in comedy. thank god he’s alive and sober today. i’ll always be rooting for him.
  • @deedeej6410
    John Mulaney and Jimmy together having a casual conversation is absolutely hilarious and authentic. I could've just listened to them for the entire show.
  • @NewMessage
    No crazy coat or shades... good sign. Good sign.
  • @laurab1105
    Him being honest about his addiction and sobriety is really helping the recovery community and reducing the stigma held around addiction. I think this comedy special is so great in so many ways.
  • @talon9924
    Makes me happy to hear that Jimmy Kimmel is a genuinely decent person. Supportive of others.
  • @shannessa21
    True story: his September show was so funny I went into labor 😂. My son now has two middle names; we added John
  • I have always admired Jimmy's heart. Seriously, when he feels strongly about a human injustice he's not afraid to speak up, and it's genuine and sincere and always from his heart. Finding out he put John up, just adds another layer of character of who he is behind closed doors. Like seriously, young boys should look to him as a role model. As for John, 😂 he's one of the funniest characters out there... Up there with Jimmy, himself.🎉

    John seems healthier and happier here than I've seen him in a long time. Even the last time he was on Seth post-rehab, I was concerned. I'm rooting for him.
  • Got totally sober about a month before John went to rehab and so far so VERY good. Glad we are both alive and able to laugh about the super rough struggle when one is in the throws of being a slave to chemicals/alcohols. My sister struggled and didn't find her way out of the dark cave of heroin and died. But I digress....So excited, Finally got to see John's new special yesterday. So funny and pro and mature. There are few comedians I wait for on the edge of my seat for new material, he's one of them. Finally "Baby J" is out and totally delivers. Nice work Jimmy on being a supportive friend.
  • @Bene_Gesserit
    Fatherhood seems to be treating John well. He seems to be in good spirits and nice to see him be able to make fun of what he went through like a real comedian.
  • @rudranil06
    I really hope he finds continued support and maintains his sobriety. Selfishly speaking he's my favourite comedian and would like to see him perform for years and years!
  • @myronp9986
    There’s an insane interview he did with Seth Meyers on YouTube where he was in a coat and shades and rambling on about all sorts of things and I could see the worry in Seth’s face and I asked myself if John was ok. Months later I found out he went to rehab and was like “Ah. Makes so much sense now.” Glad to see he’s doing so much better. He looks good and happy. The new special is also hilarious. A lot of his stories I related to my own struggles with drugs. Thank you John for being so open and keeping your humor intact throughout. Humor is really the best medicine for everything.
  • I love Jimmy. He always makes me smile and comes off as a genuinely nice guy and John Mulaney's story confirms that.
  • @TheKidYT
    John's brutal honesty & ability to make it comedic, without a hint of shame, is inspiring.
  • @fundifferent1
    He should really turn this into a movie. It can be with a fictional character, but with most of the same information: Comedian friends intervention, latenight talk show host friend halfway house, the trying to be noticed in rehab and everything...would make for a good movie plot.
  • @amun1040
    The first time is saw Jimmy Kimmel, I didn't think much of him, just a normal talk show host, but the more I know about him, his generosity, how he interacts with his staff and friends, my respect increases for him, he is a great guy and I hope the best for him everyday. Also John Mulaney is one of my favourite comedians. I hope he stays sober and have a very long career and happy life with his family.
