Trivia[]

  • Like co-star Joel McKinnon Miller, he was only credited under ‘also starring’ on the end credits in Season One despite appearing in every episode. In Season Two they were promoted to main cast but the title sequence wasn’t altered to include them along with the rest of the main cast. They are however both credited as ‘starring’ in the opening credits that show immediately after the title sequence before the production credits are shown. After Chelsea Peretti leaves the show, Miller and Blocker replace Peretti in the altered title sequence.
