You probably have a lot of questions.
Why did David Lynch do this?
Why did Fox cancel the show when it was so close to syndication numbers?
Lets answer these questions anachronically, in honor of our nonlinear storytelling king.
The 100-episode syndication order is kind of dead in the streaming era, so thats that on that.
David Lynch played Gus, the bartender of the Broken Stool,The Cleveland Shows Drunken Clam equivalent.
He looks exactly like Lynch, including his gorgeous, gorgeous hair.
As for the why David Lynch deigned to do this, the man explained his reasoning in a tweet.
Series creator Mike Henry asked him to do it.
Yes, it’s true.
I play Gus the bartender on The Cleveland Show.
Mike Henry asked me to do it, so I said yes.
I think the real reason is because Mike Henry stanned David Lynch, and Lynch liked his vibe.
Henry was one of thousands of people David Lynch taught it was okay to be weird.
I am a huge David Lynch fan, Henry toldEntertainment Weeklyin 2010.
I have been greatly inspired by his true uniqueness.
I think Lynch did theFamily Guyspinoff because it seemed like fun.
InCatching the Big Fish,Lynch said making movies should be fun.
Were supposed to have so much fun, like puppy dogs with our tails wagging.
Its supposed to be great living; its supposed to be fantastic.
Lynch liked the cut of Henrys jib, and trusted that it would be fun to work with him.
And thats fucking incredible.
