Comedian and actor John Mulaney returned as Saturday Night Live host with a not-so-good update about his “feminine hips“: he may end up needing hip replacement surgery.
Mulaney, who most recently hosted SNL in February 2022, becoming a five-timers club member in the process, joked about aging. At 42, he doesn’t feel all that great, he said.
“My parents picked a bad time toget old.When I was younger, I maybecould have helped them.But I can’t now.I’m 42.I don’t feel well either,” he said. “My brother called me in April. He goes, ‘Mom fell.’I fell!It hurt!”
“I also have a Band-Aid on thetop of my hand. Older folks love a Band-Aid onthe top of the hand,” he continued, imaging how they could all be injuring their hands the same way, like by fending off knife-wielding robbers with their palms facing in.
Mulaney then revealed that he has a tear in his right labrum, and goes to weekly physical therapy for it–along with three older women.
“We lay on mats.We press the small of our backsinto the mats to stabilizeourselves.Then, we do these tiny littlecrunches to strengthen ourmuscles and vaginas,” he joked. “And we work really hard.We cheer each other on.There’s silver hair andturquoise jewelry everywhere.”
And then, the bad news: “Out of all the women in theclass, the teacher singled me outand said that I’m not going tobenefit from physical therapylong-term and I wouldn’t evenbenefit from a laparoscopicprocedure, and that I shouldeventually have hip replacementsurgery.”
“I’m going to get my hip replaced,” he said, “and my mom is going to give me aride home.”
