‘Mythic Quest’ Producer Charlie Day Definitely Hasn’t Seen Every Episode of ‘Mythic Quest’

Charlie Day has finally joined the cast of Mythic Quest, thus fulfilling the wishes of just about every loyal Mythic Quest viewer in the world, a group that definitely doesn’t include Charlie Day

Last night, Day made his long-awaited debut appearance on the AppleTV+ comedy Mythic Quest, a project that series star Rob McElhenney began in 2020 alongside some fellow It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia collaborators such as David Hornsby and Megan Ganz. Additionally, Day has served as an executive producer on Mythic Quest ever since its inaugural season, and for as long as the Always Sunny star has had is name in the credits of Mythic Quest under the ever-nebulous job title, fans of both shows have been clamoring to see him on screen.

In yesterday’s Mythic Quest episode “Rebrand,” Day delivered a hilarious yet surprisingly stirring performance as he nailed a gut-punch of a dramatic monologue in the third act that convinced many viewers that he should be on the short list for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series at this year’s Emmys. Conversely, Day’s performance in a “Mister Quest” promo that McElhenney posted earlier today failed to convince anyone — including McElhenney, clearly — that Day has actually seen all 38-and-counting episodes of the show he supposedly produces:

Seriously, the fact that McElhenney is even asking his so-called “co-creator” how many episodes of Mythic Quest he’s seen means that the answer definitely isn’t “all of them,” as Day incredulously and unconfidently insisted. Despite the urging of many of the internet's top TV critics that every member of the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia fandom should give the distinct but similarly hilarious workplace comedy about the makers of a fictional MMORPG a shot, apparently, one of the many members of the Always Sunny family who joined McElhenney and company at Mythic Quest is still unwilling to splurge on an AppleTV+ subscription.

Nevertheless, everyone who is willing to shell out the money for an extra streaming service (or at least score a free trial for it) should mosey on over to AppleTV+ and watch Day’s moving performance in “Rebrand,” even if it’s the only episode of Mythic Quest that you ever watch. After all, you’ll be in good company on that one.
