One funny person? Great. Two hilarious people? Even better. But two people who are funny together? Well, that’s just about as good as it gets. Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally are great examples of a funny couple who manage to combine their love for each other with their great senses of humor. The movies and TV shows they’ve been in together are more proof of this.
Offerman’s new role on Devs takes him away from comedy. He plays Forest, the CEO of the company Amaya, which does quantum computing. And even though it sounds simple, there could be plot twists, drama, and even murder.
In honor of Offerman’s new role, we decided to look back at his relationship with Mullally. Here’s what you need to know about comedy’s funniest couple.
How Did Nick Offerman Meet Megan Mullally?
Offerman and Mullally met in Los Angeles in 2000 when they were both in a play called The Berlin Circle. The couple told Buzzfeed that they hit it off right away.
Mullally told us, “I think we were the only two people who were not in the company. We had never worked with that theatre company before. We were in a lot of scenes together, and I started to think, “He’s funny.” Then I started to wonder, “Wait for a second, is he cute?” What’s going on?”
Offerman added, “I remember thinking, “Wait for a second, is she a fucking genius? Hold on, does she look at me? Grrrrr! She good-looking.'”
At the time, Mullally was 41 years old, so she thought Offerman was in his late 30s. But he was only 29 years old, and she told GQ that she was upset when she learned that: “I thought he was old-looking! He was also an adult, so when I found out he was 29, I told him, “You mother*****.” And I almost drove off the road in my car.”
Soon after that, they began dating, and Offerman even had a guest role on Will & Grace in 2001.
Are Nick Offerman And Megan Mullally Still Married?
Offerman and Mullally are still married and doing well, which makes the world a better place. The two also work together a lot. In 2018, Offerman was back on the new version of Will & Grace, and Mullally played Offerman’s ex-wife in several episodes of Parks and Recreation.
They have also been in The Kings of Summer and Smashed together, and they did voice work for Bob’s Burgers and Hotel Transylvania 2 together. In 2014, they went on a raunchy live comedy tour together. In 2018, they wrote a book about their relationship called The Greatest Love Story Ever Told. It soon became a best-seller on the New York Times list.
The couple told New York Magazine that they have a rule that they can’t be apart for more than two weeks and that they have no trouble working and living together.
“We enjoy working with each other. We know we’re going to get along if we’re going to drive together or share a dressing room. “We get along well at home,” Mullally told USA Today. “Are you crazy?” people often ask us.
How can you choose to go to work with her when I can barely stand her at home after work?” “Well, that must be sad for you, because we just like each other,” we reply.
Offerman also talked to WBUR, Boston’s NPR station, about their marriage and how they work together. “Right now, if I did something to try to make you laugh, I’d be trying to make her laugh. You’re right, it’s that set of tools.
So, she’s not only my wife and best friend, but she’s also in many ways my teacher, and she’s a comedy legend. She’s like a walking Mel Brooks movie. So, it would be silly and unmanly of me not to take advantage of the fact that my wife is a champion in the sport I try to do well in.
What Else Are Nick Offerman And Megan Mullaly Up To Nowadays?
In 2019, the couple started a podcast called “In Bed With Nick and Megan” on the EarWolf network. On the show, they talk with some of their famous friends in…well, their bed. In the first episode, Bill Hader is there.
Of course, the couple’s jobs also keep them busy. Since Parks and Recreation, Offerman has been in shows like Devs and Fargo and movies like Hearts Beat Loud and Bad Times at the El Royale which isn’t typical of him. Mullally has had roles in movies like Where’d You Go, Bernadette? and The Disaster Artist, in addition to her work on the Will and Grace reboot.
