'It was like we'd adopted a son,' the late night host laughed (via toofab)
During an appearance on"Jimmy Kimmel Live" on Tuesday, the 40-year-old stand-up comedian revealed he took up an offer to live in the late night host’s guest house after coming to Los Angeles after getting sober and treatment for his substance abuse.
According to Mulaney, Kimmel has often offered his home to anyone who needed it and decided to call his bluff after he needed a place to stay. "Most people have homes, so they take that and go, 'Oh, Jimmy, you're a mensch.' I must have filed it away. So I was in rehab, then I was in a sober living situation and then I was coming to L.A. and I called you and I said, 'Hey, I'm between lives. You've always mentioned this,'" he recalled."I remember thinking, 'I'm going to call his bluff.' You'd said it enough times.
"I was treated so well. I never saw you, no, I never did. But I'd wake up with a basket of bagels. He was like my sugar daddy," he laughed."I'd wake up and there'd be money for the day, go buy an outfit. And a nice restaurant-quality espresso machine, not bad. If you're thinking about not having a home, it gets real good over there."
The television personality confessed that he felt"embarrassed" at one point during his stay when Mulaney asked if he could use the gym.
