The announcement itself was a total surprise! Both shows take place in Philadelphia, which provides the setup and backdrop, but seeing these extremely distinct groups, these two unique series' incredibly distinct personalities intertwine creates plenty of opportunity for hilarity!

Here is some awesome news!  Davis revealed that he mainly filmed with Danny DeVito (Frank Reynolds)! It’s official then; those scenes involving Mr Johnson (Abbott Elementary's janitor) and Frank Reynolds (from Always Sunny in Philadelphia) are a guaranteed goldmine, folks! Here is a short clip regarding his time working with DeVito: “We were trying not to let the cat out of the bag. I don't know who did, but once it got out, it just blew up all over the internet and all over social media. Everyone knows now we're doing a crossover episode with It's Always Sunny. The picture's out there now. It's been so much fun. I did most of my scenes with Danny DeVito. Oh my God. He's just an amazing man. Just so fun to watch, so much fun to work with. He gave me a lot of good advice, and I asked him a lot of questions, and he was just a real seasoned pro, as we all know.”

Think about it: two extremely eccentric Characters in a single show. They both have completely distinct styles; one who's incredibly easy to annoy and another who thrives on annoying those around him! Those two completely clashing personalities set the stage for amazing comic moments and provide excellent sources for unpredictable encounters; we all want to know exactly what might unfold next! This is guaranteed to create hilarious fireworks; completely impacting the potential development surrounding the plot!

Other Character Pairings: Predicting the Chaos!

To balance the casts effectively— and keep things enjoyable throughout that half-hour comedy Episode—we need other pairings, and this really requires some level of speculation regarding potential storylines. Yet here are the best predictions!

One obvious choice involves some of the more intense Always Sunny personalities and the more outgoing teachers from Abbott Elementary! It is highly probable and is also extremely exciting! Principal Ava Coleman or Melissa Schemmenti—paired with a particularly volatile member from Always Sunny? Expect MAXIMUM chaos! Ava's over-the-top personality already mixes very well with Always Sunny’s characters; and Melissa’s straight-laced approach completely contrasts the other members in that very group; generating even more opportunities for intense comedic effect. We will need to see the characters react towards each other.

This pairing alone makes this crossover a must-watch. Mr. Johnson's hilarious one-liners in Abbott Elementary are pure comedy gold, easily making him one of the most enjoyable characters from the series! It’s completely understandable and many viewers and fans have this expectation – especially those involved in that fanbase; so catering to these kinds of audience requests make complete sense here. Frank Reynolds?   Same thing, pure chaos!

It’s easy to guess exactly how things might develop: Imagine Frank dragging Mr. Johnson into his latest wacky schemes! And that setup alone adds intrigue; providing a plausible framework which would easily justify Frank’s presence within that school. The comedic potential here? Sky-high!
