Rob McElhenney | Studio 2 from WHYY | 2/05/25

Rob McElhenney is juggling a lot of projects. There’s It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the longest running live-action sitcom in television history which he created. There’s Mythic Quest, the comedy on AppleTV+ set in the office of a multiplayer video game company. And there’s Welcome to Wrexham, a docu-series about managing the professional Welsh football team he bought with actor Ryan Reynolds. It’s sort of a real-life Ted Lasso. Rob McElhenney grew up in South Philadelphia, the setting of It’s Always Sunny, and has always been a big fan of Philly sports. So, with the Birds headed to Super Bowl 59, we had to have him on Studio 2.
