Mulaney sat down with Tracy Smith for CBS Sunday Morning ahead of the premiere of Everybody's Live With John Mulaney on March 12 to discuss a variety of topics, with Smith asking the 42-year-old a poignant question that led to a thought-provoking answer.

In a clip from the extensive interview, Smith posed the question, "Is sobriety something that you have to think about every day?"
"Well, that's a good question," began Mulaney in his response. "I don't think about cocaine, opioids and benzodiazepine every day."
He went on, saying, "I'll acknowledge that I understand the vigilance I need."

While Mulaney stated that he doesn't necessarily think about the need to abstain from drugs every day, he then expanded on the idea, telling Smith, "I do think about the ways that I can lead my life to perhaps never feel the kind of strain that got me there."
"So, yeah, sobriety maybe being, like, a bigger term than just abstaining from the chemicals. I definitely think about that," he concluded.
Fans shared support for the father of two after seeing the enlightening video, with comments like, "John ? good for you, man," and "Brilliant interview - love how you made him feel comfortable enough to really take time to construct thoughtful answers. ❤️??."
Mulaney released a comedy special called John Mulaney: Baby J in 2023 that thoroughly explored his drug addiction, intervention and 2020 rehab visit.
