Glenn Howerton Ranks the Side Projects of the ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ Cast
The Gang may have embarked on several side projects throughout It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s 20-year run, but not all of them have achieved “Golden God” status, according to Glenn Howerton. During a recent stop by Hot Ones Versus, the Dennis Reynolds actor revealed, under the threat of some very spicy chicken wings, who, between himself and his FXX co-stars, Rob McElhenney and Charlie Day, had created the best work outside of Paddy’s Pub.
Specifically tasked with comparing McElhenney’s Apple TV+ series Mythic Quest, the Pacific Rim franchise, which heavily features Day, and Howerton’s own NBC sitcom, A.P. Bio, one of his castmates wasn’t initially sold on the question, concerned that Howerton didn’t possess the knowledge necessary to complete the ask. “You’ve never seen Mythic Quest,” McElhenney exclaimed before Howerton could even answer.
But Howerton valued his taste buds more than his friends’ feelings, soldiering on in ranking his co-stars’ works. “That’s not true, I have seen it,” he replied, noting that although he “did watch Pacific Rim,” he didn’t see the sequel, one he informally dubbed Pacific Rim 2: Electric Boogaloo (Day’s funnier title tweak: Pacific Rim 2: Still Rimming). “Obviously I’m biased, but (I’m a) big fan of A.P. Bio. I gotta say, I think it’s great so I’m gonna put that at number one.”

From there, Howerton dutifully provided his silver and bronze picks. “I’m gonna put Mister Quest at number two and put Specific Rim Job at number three,” he joked, offering his condolences to Day. “I’m so sorry.”
Naturally, Always Sunny’s resident rat king wasn’t thrilled with the slight, uttering a resounding “wow dude” in reply to his third-place finish. “You probably just never work with Guillermo Del Toro,” he fired back, referencing the Pacific Rim director.
But again, with thousands of Scoville units on the line, Howerton would seemingly rather burn a bridge with the Pan’s Labyrinth overlord than his palate. “You know, that would be a shame,” he replied. “I’m just gonna answer every question so I don’t have to eat any of this shit.”
