Anybody who’s ever watched “It is At all times Sunny in Philadelphia” — or, frankly, the ABC procedural “High Potential” — is aware of precisely how humorous Kaitlin Olson is. The actress, who earned fame and acclaim as “Candy” Dee Reynolds all through her time on “It’s Always Sunny” — the show where she also met her husband Rob Mac, who created the sequence with co-stars Glenn Howerton and Charlie Day — is preternaturally hilarious, and her sense of comedic timing is second to none. Naturally, this extends to her bodily comedy, which is why I am not shocked that she nailed a tough season 15 stunt in a single take.
In an interview with Leisure Weekly forward of the episode, which is appropriately titled “Dee Sinks in a Bathroom,” Olson obtained proper to the purpose. “We shot an episode this season the place Dee sinks in a lavatory, which I used to be very enthusiastic about, as a result of it sounds hilarious,” she instructed Derek Lawrence. “I additionally knew it was going to be depressing, which most of my hilarious issues are.”
I will return to why and the way Dee sinks in a lavatory within the first place shortly, however the truth is that Olson needed to carry out a scene the place her character, whereas touring by means of Eire, goes searching for peat moss and falls right into a lavatory, slowly sinking all through the course of 1 lengthy day. As Olson recalled, she managed to get these scenes proper just about instantly.
“I’m going beneath, come up, open my eyes, they usually replenish with no matter this lavatory is manufactured from,” Olson stated of the lavatory set, which was truly constructed exterior of Eire (on a Disney lot, particularly). “I am unable to see something, I may barely stroll, I am attempting to recollect the place the holes are, I half-scream my traces. All I am pondering is, ‘I am not doing this once more, so do not journey and destroy it.'”
Olson, as she put it, knocked it out of the park: “In fact I nailed it on that first shot, thanks very a lot… I had Charlie [Day] with me, and he assured that it was humorous, so I used to be like, ‘Nice, we are able to go house.’ And that was my most excruciating day on set this season — and there is one thing like that yearly.” (She’s proper that there is one thing bodily insane for Dee to do each single yr on “It is At all times Sunny” — put a pin in that too.)
