Three Times Stephen Root Showed Up and Made Things Better – Last Night

Three Times Stephen Root Showed Up and Made Things Better - Last Night

Petkus’ best moments in his introductory episode feature presidential (foolishly) hopeful Connor Roy and his for-hire better half Willa schmoozing Petkus as he unleashes a series of stupid “you can’t say anything nowadays” cancel-culture jokes that would be right at home on a Fox Nation stand-up special.

Frasier – Harbin

We couldn’t find a screenshot of Harbin, so here’s Laura Linney

In the fourth-to-final episode of Frasier’s eleventh and (at the time) final season, Frasier and Charlotte find themselves stuck in an uncomfortable conversation that leads to an even less comfortable car breakdown when Frasier attempts to drive Charlotte to the train station, only for the trip to be derailed by Charlotte’s admission that she will be moving back home to Chicago. Distracted by the tense discussion, Frasier causes Charlotte to miss her train – then, when he tries to drive her to the next station, they miss it again. And again. 

Eventually, Frasier’s BMW breaks down in the middle of nowhere, where the pair are saved by an eccentric mechanic (Root’s Harbin) who saves both the Beemer and the episode with his wonderful weirdness.
