Best of In This Family: How Comedian Gary Gulman Crashed Hard and Pulled Himself Back Up

Guest Gary Gulman - Podcast: In This Family
April 29, 2026

Content Warning: This episode discusses depression, anxiety, hospitalization, and traumatic experiences.

Gary Gulman has been making people laugh for many years as a top touring comedian and frequent guest on late night shows and star of multiple HBO specials. He’s a professional success by any measure. But that didn’t stop him from having a mental breakdown in his forties, where he gave up comedy, was hospitalized, and ultimately moved back in with his mother. In this revealing conversation with Nexus Family Healing CEO Dr. Michelle K. Murray, Gary reveals the depressive and anxious tendencies of his youth, his struggles connecting with his parents, and how a traumatic event fueled his depression.

This is an encore presentation first aired in October 2025.

Topic(s): Depression

In This Family is presented by Nexus Family Healing, a national nonprofit mental health organization that restores hope for thousands of children and families. Learn more and listen at NexusFamilyHealing.org/podcast.
