‘Mythic Quest’ Star Says the Entire Cast Was ‘Wildly Attracted’ to Guest Star Charlie Day
Contrary to The Waitress’ historical aversion to It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’s resident Rat King — or as she put it, “I have mace” — there are a whole host of reasons to love Charlie Day. Just ask the cast members of Mythic Quest, who all apparently found themselves crushing on their Season Four guest star.
Alanna Ubach and Elisha Henig, who respectively played mother and son duo, Shannon and streamer Pootie Shoe on the Apple TV+ series, recently revealed how their adoration for Day runs in their on-screen family, detailing just how much they enjoyed working with him — and in Ubach’s case, how they want to add him to her jewelery box. “I just love him so much,” she spilled during a recent sit-down with Collider.
“I want to shrink him and keep him in my pocket and carry him with me everywhere,” Ubach continued, noting how she’d also like to “shrink his wife,” who is, coincidentally, Waitress actress Mary Elizabeth Ellis, and “wear her as a little trinket on my necklace.” “They're wonderful people, and he’s just such a fun hang. That’s always important.”

Though Henig remained silent on whether he’d like to sport mini versions of Day and Ellis like some sort of sitcom trophy hunter, the young actor did offer a few superlatives of his own, dubbing his recent scene partner as not only one of his “childhood comic icons” but also as “one of the most professional comedians” in the industry.
“He manages to make everything funny so instantly,” the actor said of Day, who played his on-screen manager in the episode “Rebrand.” “He’s really so impressive and scary to act opposite, but really fun.”
This attraction to Day — who created Mythic Quest alongside Megan Ganz and his It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia co-star Rob McElhenney — doesn’t just stop at professional reverence either. It’s also a testament to how the actor drove “a hard bargain” when it came to green-lighting his own on-screen appearance, a trait Ubach described as “sexy.”
“You have to drive a hard bargain, or else I won’t know how sexy you are or could be,” she quipped. “I think that’s very important.”
The Euphoria star wasn’t alone in getting turned on by Day’s sensibilities: The whole cast apparently felt this way, according to Henig. “I respect it,” he echoed. “We were all wildly attracted to him on set.”
And who can blame them? Grab a ticket and get in line — behind Ellis and Day’s on-screen ex, heiress Ruby Taft, of course.
