What if the fate of the world depended on a mid-level tech support employee? That’s the question of Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone’s new Netflix comedy, God’s Favorite Idiot. Falcone’s Clark realizes that God has bigger plans for him once he starts glowing. Along with his crush Amily (McCarthy), their coworkers, and angelic allies, he must outwit Satan herself (Leslie Bibb). The series also serves as a Gilmore Girls reunion of sorts as Yanic Truesdale (Michel Gerard!) stars alongside his former Dragonfly Inn coworker McCarthy, playing of those angels, Chamuel. Here, he introduces his character and talks about that reunion. I love your character’s entrance. Talk about reading that in the script. Yanic Truesdale: I have to say, my manager, when he saw the thing, said, “I believe this is one of the greatest entrances in Hollywood history.” [Laughs] It is a good one. I cannot lie.
