“I must ask you about your middle name, because this is a little detail. I don’t know how it slipped past me the last time. But, Mungo is one of your middle names, yes?” Jimmy asked.
After Hugh responded yes, Jimmy asked how it is possible he was named “Hugh Mungo.”
“It’s actually Hugh John Mungo,” he clarified. “I don’t know how it happened. I had very unkind parents.”
Jimmy then asked if Hugh passed that middle name onto his kids.
“Worse. I have a daughter who I named…I was in a bit of a panic with my wife on the day we named her and we thought it might be nice for her when she was older if she could say in bars that her middle name was Danger,” he said. “So her name is Lulu Danger Grant.”
Later in the episode, he discussed his daughters’ relationship to Halloween.
“My children love it. They love it. Actually, Lulu Danger Grant and her sister Blue Grant, named Blue because again I panicked about names with my wife so we asked [Lulu’s] elder brother when she was on the way,” he admitted.
“We said, ‘There’s a new baby coming along, what should we call her?’ And he said, ‘Kevin,’ because that was his favorite Minion,” Hugh amusingly continued. “And we did think about calling her Kevin but then we said, ‘You better think of something else.’ So he said Blue, because it was his favorite color.”
In addition to Lulu and Blue, Hugh is dad to son John Mungo, 12, whom he shares with his wife, and daughter Tabitha Xiao Xi, 13, and son Felix Chang Hong, 11, who he shares with Tinglan Hong.
