It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia: Kaitlin Olson Video Message & More
Here on the east coast, we're a little more than 90 minutes away from television history being made. That's when Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, Rob McElhenney, Kaitlin Olson & Danny DeVito throw open the doors to Paddy's once again for a record-setting 15th season of FXX's It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Because when "2020: A Year In Review" kicks off, the series will become the longest-running live-action comedy show in television history, breaking past the record held by The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet (which ended in 1966, in case you needed some perspective on just how long the show's held that title). Over the past few hours, we've been hearing from The Gang in one way or another. From Howerton offering a visual tour of 15 seasons' worth of posters and Olson with a video clip thanking the fans to McElhenney asking an important question that has way too many answers, Day offering up some talking potatoes that look a little familiar, and DeVito letting It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia fans know that this season is "off the charts"- take a look:
"This year was off the charts! One of the best that we've had. The great thing about it is we get along so well – Rob and Charlie and Glenn and Kaitlin and I. They keep plugging away and coming out with good stories. This year, of course, we had so many subjects to deal with from interesting, crazy characters that inhabit our planet and situations like various concepts of human behavior. It was a very right time for writing and thinking and satirizing what's going on in the world," DeVito explained during a recent interview about their record-setting season.
