DeVito's Naked Couch Exit: Still Funny After 18 Seasons

Actor Danny DeVito, 81, shared a memorable, outrageous moment from the early days of the long-running series, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. During an interview, he recalled his character Frank Reynolds emerging naked from a couch in the season six Christmas special. DeVito humorously described forgetting the scene's setting at a cocktail party and his own startling appearance, likening himself to a "greased halibut."

The unexpected reveal caused costar Kaitlin Olson to momentarily freeze, unable to deliver her scripted line as DeVito uttered, "Hot, hot, hot." DeVito mentioned he was willing to re-enter the couch for another take. It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is now preparing for its 18th season, with all original main cast members confirmed to return.

DeVito expressed deep affection for his colleagues, stating that the cast and crew feel like a family. He noted that they maintain contact year-round and often dine together. "When we come back, it's like coming home," he said, highlighting the enduring relationships with long-time crew members and the collaborative spirit in creating "insane things" for 12 weeks each season.
