  • Scott says he was "terrified" to front the show and feared it might be "embarrassing" or "made fun of" before it found a devoted audience.
  • Ben Stiller recounts pushing for Scott over initial studio preferences and credits his precision in shifting personas for making the premise work.
  • Season 3 is in the works, according to recent reporting, following a lengthy gap between seasons that included the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
  • The series still ranks fifth on Apple TV+'s streaming chart this week, coinciding with ongoing awards-season interviews and profiles.
