Charlie Day and Danny DeVito talk Abbott and Golden Bachelor

Speaking about the crossover in a recent interview with the LA Times, stars of the show Charlie Day and Danny DeVito shared how the idea came about and revealed that there will be another with The Golden Bachelor.

“Rob has these really big ideas, like buying a soccer team. He wanted to do this Abbott crossover, and he wanted to do this Golden Bachelor episode. To be perfectly frank, I didn’t really want to do both. I think you can do one or the other. The Golden Bachelor thing I thought was funny, but I was like, maybe we could just do the Sunny characters’ version of it. But to his credit, those are the things that people latch onto and are talking about.” Charlie Day shared.

Danny Devito, who joined the show in its second season and quickly became a fan favourite, added, "I had no idea what they had in mind at first because I must admit, I’m not a Golden Bachelor watcher. Once I got there and figured out what they had up their sleeve, I just went with it big time," DeVito added.
