As “Abbott Elementary” and “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” shoot their upcoming crossover episode, “Abbott” coshowrunner and EP Patrick Schumacker teased there are some filmed scenes that will “probably never make it to ABC.”
“When we were shooting last week, Rob [McElhenney] had this improv in this one scene with Ava that I did not know was … coming; he just thought about it extemporaneously,” Schumacker told TheWrap, adding that the scene likely wouldn’t pass broadcast TV standards and practices.
“[It] made me spit out my coffee, and then wish that we had just an episode that was like a gag reel of all the stuff that we can’t use,” he continued.
