Always Sunny: Rob McElhenney Reflects; Danny DeVito, Trollfoot Return

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Rob McElhenney shared great images of what life has been like lately; Danny DeVito's Trollfoot returned.

It's Sunday. Do we need any more of a reason than that to check in on the universe of Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, Kaitlin Olson & Danny DeVito– starring It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia? Over the past few weeks – between the flagship series, Apple TV+'s Mythic Quest, Wrexham AFC (with Ryan Reynolds), the work he's doing with Day and Howerton to promote their Four Walls whiskey, and much more – McElhenney has been the focus of our recent updates – and that was before he had a chance to "play catch" with both Chase Utley and Bryce Harper when the Philadelphia Phillies headed to London to take on the New York Mets. So it makes perfect sense that he would share a look back at how the past few months have been going via social media with an image gallery offering some very cool behind-the-scenes, personal moments with Olson, Day, Howerton, Jimmy Kimmel, Jason Kelce, and others. But first… did someone say, "Trollfoot"?

While it's with huge regret and remorse that we admit that we've been pretty shitty when it comes to keeping up with DeVito's Trollfoot and its travels, we're glad to see that Trollfoot is living the good life and enjoying a little pool-playing:

Now that you've enjoyed some quality time with Trollfoot, here's a look at McElhenney's image gallery – followed by a look back at The Gang's Emmys experience from earlier this year:

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Kaitlin Olson on Emmy Snub

At the Emmy Awards earlier this year, The Gang got the band back together to present the award for Outstanding Talk Series (Trevor Noah & The Daily Show would take top honors) – and to take a moment to address their topic of the show being ignored by Emmy voters. "Have you guys been doing this every year without us?" Day asked toward the opening of their segment. "I feel like we're getting the full Marvel treatment here."

To make matters even a little more insulting, this year also marked the first time that The Gang was invited to attend the biggest awards ceremony in television. DeVito really drove the point home when he reminded them that he had already won an Emmy for his work on Taxi – which would run for five seasons, picking up 34 nominations and 18 wins. "34 nominations in five years vs. zero nominations in 16 years? That math is bad!" Olson observed – before DeVito added, "Rhea [Perlman] won four for 'Cheers.'"

As fun as that was to watch, the point can't be ignored. How can a show that's run for 16 seasons (and counting) be as ignored as "Always Sunny" has been over the course of its run? "We talk about that a lot," Olson shared during an interview with Vanity Fair. "I think there are some shows where it's just decided, 'Oh, this is the hit show of the season,' and people will give it a shot. And then there are just some shows that are just like, 'No, this isn't an Emmy show.' And if you jumped in and saw a clip of our show and didn't quite understand it, you'd think this show is raunchy and gross—not appropriate and not classy and lowbrow. And the truth is, that's true. And if you really watch a full episode, it's so smart. We're making lots of statements. We are making fun of extremists. It's a lot more intelligent than people think."

Olson added, "It just became a thing where it was like, 'Oh, that show again.' People are looking at new shows. The truth is we are getting a lot of validation every single day. We have fans that will cry and shake if they take a picture [with us]. We're doing what we want to do, making a show that we're proud of and making people happy. I really am truly good. But will I take an Emmy? Yeah, I'll take an Emmy."
