star Rob McElhenney explains exactly how Danny DeVito’s couch birthing came to be.

In a recent interview, McElhenney shared the story behind one popular joke on the show where DeVito’s character, Frank, hides inside a couch. He reminisced about DeVito’s immediate acceptance of the idea and the inspiration for it. “I told Danny, ‘I want to show you a video,’ and it was a video of a giraffe being born,” McElhenney said. “I replied, ‘I want to replicate this.’ Before I could even press play, he agreed, saying, ‘I’ll do that.’

Starting in 2005, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia swiftly rose to fame, becoming a popular trend at that time. Developed by McElhenney and Howerton, the show features McElhenney, Howerton, Charlie Day, and Kaitlin Olson as Mac, Dennis Reynolds, Charlie Kelly, and Dee Reynolds respectively. Among them, Mac, Dennis, and Charlie co-own a local bar named Paddy’s Pub. In the second season, DeVito was introduced to the cast as Frank Reynolds, the wealthy, eccentric, and frequently absent father of Dennis and Dee.
