Secret Service Confirms John Mulaney Investigation Over ‘SNL’ Jokes

When John Mulaney went on Jimmy Kimmel Live last month, he told the host that the Secret Service had opened up an investigation on him following jokes he made during his monologue on Saturday Night Live in February 2020.

“I did a joke that was not about Donald Trump,” he explained. “The joke was about how it was a leap year and leap year had been started by Julius Caesar to correct the calendar and another thing that happened with Caesar was that he was stabbed by a bunch of senators ‘cause he went crazy. And I said, ‘That’s an interesting thing that could happen.’”

On Tuesday, the Secret Service released a 27-page file on the incident, as obtained by Rolling Stone. Under the activity “Exhibits inappropriate behavior,” the agency’s protective intelligence and assessment division noted that Mulaney “made inappropriate statements regarding President Trump on Saturday Night Live.” The investigation was opened on March 1st, 2020, one day after Mulaney’s comments on the show.
