Overview

• DeVito told The Hollywood Reporter he read a fake script describing his character being surrounded by police with nightsticks and said he briefly considered calling a lawyer.
• He recounted stopping mid-read and refusing to perform the material before the script revealed itself as a prank with an "April Fools" stinger.
• No episode was produced from the false script and no legal action followed, according to DeVito's account.
• DeVito said he later staged a revenge prank at an FX Upfront in Washington by having colleagues assigned to a small room with cots while he watched from a closet.
• Outlets including PerthNow, FandomWire, and the New York Post reported the remarks from the newly published THR interview, which also situates the story in the show's boundary-pushing comedy and long-running ensemble.
