Given the ultimatum of adding a name actor to the show's mix or getting canceled, Day, Howerton, and McElhenney set their sights upon former Taxi star Danny DeVito to play Dee and Dennis' heretofore-unseen and estranged father, and we're all the better for it.įaced with the harrowing news that father Frank had unexpectedly decided to stop by Paddy's Pub, Dee and Dennis set out in a rush, hoping to avoid talking to their wealthy but absent dad by racing drunkenly to the local strip club. And while the show's rough edges were honed away with enviable ruthlessness (Dee's first-ever line saw her telling Dennis she loves him, for crying out loud), it was the FX-mandated arrival of a TV legend that truly whipped the Gang into its final, fruitfully destructive form. It's Always Sunny's short first season saw Dee, Mac, Charlie, and Dennis come out of the gate already as adept at raunchily hilarious terribleness as they'd be with double-digit seasons of practice.
