Sources told the publication that Mulaney ‘asked for a divorce from Tendler three months ago.’

Warning signs: John Mulaney, 38, raised concerns among friends and fans following a bizarre early November appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers before he entered rehab
Although the clip was filmed in early November, it wasn’t shared online until Nov. 24, and it doesn’t appear to have been aired on TV, possibly due to Mulaney’s demeanor.
He updated Meyers with a segment titled Royal Watch: News from the Real-Life Crown, in which he joked about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle being annoyed that the ongoing pandemic had decreased the attention they got from their decision to ‘step back as “senior” members’ of the royal family.
Mulaney joked that Prince Harry was ‘the real dunce of this fairytale … You dumb ginger, don’t leave your title just because you don’t like your 94-year-old grandma.’
‘That’s the definition of something you wait out, gangsta. I am pretty sure father time is going to sort out the case of the very old bummer woman who had 30 months to live,’ he joked, before adding, ‘Ahh, too mean.’
A source told the post that Mulaney was ‘out of his mind’ on substances during the segment, which raised concerns about his health.
The comedian’s representatives haven’t commented about the segment.
