John Mulaney's Son Has Questions About His Father

John Mulaney says his son Malcolm is aware of his comedy career, but believes he's learning about his father from external sources. Mulaney told TODAY, "(Malcolm) goes, 'You know those tubes people have fire in, and they suck on them? ... Did you ever do that?' And I went, 'No.' And he went, 'Never?'" Mulaney joked, "I was like, oh, you listened to some podcast, because, you know, folks, I quit. But for a while, I did use tubes of fire." ?
