Last night’s Roseanne didn’t make any big headline for its lead character’s political stances, and last we checked, Donald Trump hasn’t tweeted anything about Becky’s infertility storyline. Instead, you may have walked away with the nagging feeling that someone in that episode seemed familiar. No, not any of the Conners, nor Sarah Chalke (a.k.a. second — and fourth — Becky from the original series) as the mommy-to-be who Becky wants to be a surrogate for. But the clerk at the animal shelter that Roseanne and Jackie go to when they want to retrieve the dog Becky thinks she’ll have to give up.

The actress playing that stern-faced animal lover was played by actress Rhea Seehorn. Seehorn may not be a household name, but if you’ve watched Better Call Saul for even a little bit, you’ll recognize her as Kim Wexler, the love interest for Bob Odenkirk’s Jimmy McGill and oftentimes the moral center of the show. She’s evolved into a hugely popular character, with even some talk of a spin-off from creator Vince Gilligan. She’s yet to break into the Emmy races so far, but you’d be hard-pressed to find too many unnominated actresses more deserving.

So what was this dynamo of an actress doing in a thankless 5-line role in this random Roseanne episode? That likely has something to do with Whitney Cummings, the comic and actress who is executive-producing the Roseanne reboot. Seehorn co-starred on Cummings’s ill-fated NBC sitcom Whitney, playing the title character’s friend, Roxanne. Whitney may not have been long for this world, but at least Cummings’ professional relationship with Seehorn has lasted.
