Rob McElhenney Releases ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ Season 16 Scripts to the Public

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator and star Rob McElhenney is nothing if not a man of the people — no matter what a certain bird may say about him in his replies.

Right now, the It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia writing staff is hard at work crafting storylines for Season 17 that will be even more insane and depraved than the 16 previous seasons, which series star Danny DeVito recently described as too “tame” for his tastes. McElhenney, along with his co-stars Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton, continues to be hands-on in the writing process, not relegating himself to be a “big picture guy” or shying away from the nitty-gritty of scriptwriting like Mac did in “Mac and Charlie Write a Movie.”

Former Employees of Ellen DeGeneres Trash Her Self-Pitying Stand-Up Special

In her new Netflix special Ellen DeGeneres: For Your Approval, the former queen of daytime TV comedy cried that she was “kicked out of show business” for being a “strong woman.” Meanwhile, the former employees of The Ellen DeGeneres Show wonder how exactly replacing her crew with non-union workers during COVID and firing people for going on medical or bereavement leave was a show of “strength.” 

Before 10 employees of The Ellen DeGeneres Show came forward and accused their boss of creating a “toxic” workplace rife with "racism, fear and intimidation" in July 2020, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed, elfish talk show host was synonymous with kindness and gentleness in popular culture, a brand that DeGeneres worked very hard to cultivate everywhere besides on her own set.
