“I think it’s my favorite episode of season 2,” says Roiland. “Stephen Colbert plays a really well-matched rival for Rick. Colbert kicked ass. He really gave us 100 percent and he was so fun to work with and couldn’t have been a better sport. He’s also a great voice for this character, that is just as smart as Rick. With the Needful Things [episode] with Alfred Molina in season 1 (“Something Ricked This Way Comes”), Rick clearly had the upper hand the whole time. In this one, they’re pretty equally matched. It’s interesting to watch Rick be insecure and s–tty about the fact that he knows this guy is pretty f–king smart.”
