[Steve Levitan] for putting on this wonderful show, [Judy Greer], [Keegan Michael Key], [Calum Worthy], [Johnny Knoxville], [and Krista Marie Yu] to be the best co-stars ever ea [Paul Reiser] let me yell at him on screen and be my rabbi off screen. I hope he will have another life elsewhere. And if you saw it, THANK YOU. It’s done, I hope everyone is proud of me for mastering my vitriol.
Rachel Bloom seems to really commit to this high road, and instead share her “vitriolic”. RestartUltimately, she chose to thank her co-stars for their short time together.
