John Mulaney Hosts “SNL ”and Gives His Kids a Cute Shout Out as Pete Davidson Shows off Almost Tattoo-Free Arms in Cameo

The comedian spoke about his children Malcolm and Méi during his opening monologue and gave them a sweet shout-out at the end of the show

John Mulaney had some sweet words while hosting Saturday Night Live.

The comedian, 42, hosted the Nov. 2 episode, where Chappell Roan joined him as the musical guest.

During his opening monologue, Mulaney spoke about life as a father of two. The comedian and his wife, actress Olivia Munn, welcomed their daughter Méi June via gestational surrogate on Sept. 14. The couple also share 2-year-old son Malcolm Hiệp.

"I've been great. My wife and I just welcomed a baby girl into our family," he said to cheers from the audience.

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

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

He continued with a playful analogy of the difference in the childcare: "That's not an equal distribution of labor 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."

Later, at end of the show, as the cast, guest starts and host stood on stage, Mulaney took a moment to shout out his children after he had thanked others involved in the show.

"Goodnight Malcom, goodnight Méi," he said, waving at the camera.

Mulaney appeared in a slew of sketches throughout the night, including one that featured a cameo from Pete Davidson.

The Saturday Night Live alum, 30, appeared in a sketch titled "Port Authority Duane Reade," which saw him and cast member Andrew Dismukes shopping at a Duane Reade store at Port Authority.

Wearing a white Rodney Dangerfield t-shirt for the skit, Davidson's arms were notably less tattooed that in recent years, with some very faded ink on his forearms and a few tattoos still visible inside his upper arms.

Davidson had recently stepped out to attend the sneak preview of The Room at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif. on Oct. 23 and revealed a more pared down look with his arms appearing almost completely tattoo free. The comedian and actor first spoke of removing his tattoos back in 2020.

Elsewhere in the show, Kamala Harris made a surprise appearance in the cold open, just three days before the presidential election. 

Maya Rudolph reprised her role as the vice president in the skit, which saw Harris, 60, appear toward the end, opposite Rudolph in a mirror, wearing a matching outfit.

Host Mulaney was a writer on the long-running sketch comedy show for five years, beginning in 2008 — the same year his recurring character Stefon, co-created with cast member Bill Hader, made his "Weekend Update" debut.  

The comedian first hosted SNL in 2018 during season 43 and joined the show’s Five-Timers Club, aka a group of stars who’ve hosted the show five times or more, in 2022. Christopher Walken, Emma Stone, Justin Timberlake, and Alec Baldwin are just a few of the other club members.

The comedian also recently starred in John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s in L.A., a six-night live event that was part of this year’s Netflix Is a Joke comedy festival.
