COLLIDER:Mythic Questis such a fun workplace comedy and just a great show in general.
What was the direction for Season 4 when you were crafting this, Megan?
MEGAN GANZ: It was about getting everybody back together.
They were very split up last year.
That’s how we went into this season.

We have to only pick a few things.
Because we also need room to do stories about our characters and that kind of thing.
AI is a big one.
It pivoted to they all got to pitch ideas for games to David.
Anyway, she brings in stuff all the time where we’re like, We’ll use that.
BURCH: There’s so much.
What is that like to create such a unique production where you’re affording these opportunities to people?
It’s very like the show.
But what it creates is everybody can have a good idea and give it to us at any time.
I had costumes people giving me ideas to put in the script.
But we weren’t sure how much it was going to happen.
It’s amazing because they care so much.
They bring all these great ideas.
BURCH: Thank you.
It’s really wild.
I moved to LA to be a voice actor.
I was like, If I voice act, Im good, baby!
It has enriched my creative life and just my life in general so much.
Megan and David have my back.
This crew is incredible.
The cast is always prepared and on it and amazing.
Why Did We Have to Wait Four Seasons for Charlie Day?
The crew was concerned about one thing… Now, we finally get a Charlie Day cameo in this season.
Why was this one the right time to bring him in finally, do you think, Megan?
He’s in the Hulu ads, so.
BURCH: I mean, come on.
He came along, and it was so great to have him on set.
It’s just always so joyous.
It was really fun.

GANZ: Yeah, Id love that.
I mean, Danny [DeVito].
Let’s get Danny in.
I mean, Danny and Kaitlin [Olson] and Glenn [Howerton].

So maybeMythic Questcharacters appearing onSunnyis somewhere to go.
These are a must!
I was blown away by what it was, but also so timely and relevant.
So, we talk about that.
Like, how is it supporting the story or stories of characters inMythic Quest?
ThenSide Questis a lot more broad.
It talks about certain things that maybe just affect fandom or creativity in general.
So yeah, we have different stories that we get to tell.
While we wait for the movie, how about aCommunitycrossover?
So, there was a little knownAlways Sunny/Abbott Elementarycrossover.
GANZ: Nobody heard about that.
But if you could choose a show, what wouldMythic Questcrossover with?
BURCH: I want it to be like, SVU, or something.
[Laugsh] Like a crime procedural.
GANZ: I have to sayCommunityjust because I feel like I would love Brad to meet Abed.
BURCH: That’s really good.
