The 41-year-old comedian told 56-year-old Jimmy that Dr. Emily Lindsey of the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum was part of his six-episode Netflix show.
“I recently took my son to the La Brea Tar Pits. And he doesn’t want to see a bunch of skeletons,” John said, referring to his son and girlfriend Olivia Munn, 43.
“Nobody does that,” Jimmy said.
‘What I thought it was going to be is so embarrassing in retrospect. I thought they would be like big animals covered in tar,” John admitted.

“And it was going to be, you know, an animated movie for him. And it was just those dirty bones,” John said.
Olivia revealed in March that she was diagnosed with breast cancer last year and had four operations in ten months, including a double mastectomy.
She thanked her doctors in the Instagram post revealing her battle with cancer and also singled out John for praise.
“I’m so grateful to my friends and family for loving me through this. I am so grateful to John for the nights he spent researching what each surgery and medication meant and what side effects and recovery I could expect.
“Because I was there before I went to every surgery and there when I woke up and I always posted framed pictures of our little boy Malcolm so that it was the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes,” Olivia wrote. John thanked Olivia in the comments for fighting so hard to be with him and Malcolm.
John and Olivia started dating in 2021 and they have a two-year-old son Malcolm Hiệp Mulaney together.
The Netflix special John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s In LA will stream live starting Friday during the Netflix Is A Joke Fest, with additional episodes each night from May 6 to 10.
John will also be at the Hollywood Bowl on Saturday evening as part of the festival.

David Letterman, Jerry Seinfeld, Jon Stewart, Sarah Silverman and Cedric The Entertainer will appear on John’s show exploring all things Los Angeles.
Dr. Lucy Jones, a seismologist well known to Los Angeles residents, will also be part of the special.
John said he asked Van Halen frontman David Lee Roth, 69, to be part of the special, but he declined.
He originally wanted Diamond Dave to be the bandleader and then sought him out as a guest to talk about his life in Altadena.
‘I didn’t know how to appeal to him. It’s David Lee Roth, I should just call him and say let’s party and maybe he’ll show up,” John joked.
