Overview

• Kroll shared the story on Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast, describing the 2020 intervention as ‘scary and brutal’.
• He coordinated the intervention from Los Angeles while his wife was pregnant and he was working on Olivia Wilde’s Don’t Worry Darling.
• Friends lured Mulaney to New York under the guise of a college reunion and confronted his abuse of Adderall, Xanax, Klonopin, Percocet, and cocaine.
• Mulaney entered rehab for two months immediately after the intervention and later credited the effort with saving his life in his Netflix special Baby J.
• Kroll initially bristled at Mulaney’s jokes about the intervention but ultimately recognized comedy as a vital outlet for processing pain.
