John Mulaneyhad some sweet words for his kids while hostingSaturday Night Live.

The comedian, 42, hosted the Nov. 2 episode, whereChappell Roanjoined him as the musical guest.

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

“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 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 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 fromPete Davidson.

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 hadrecently 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 Harrismadea surprise appearance in the cold open, just three days before the presidential election.

Maya Rudolph reprised her role as the vice presidentin 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 hostedSNLin 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 afew of the otherclub members.
