Rob McElhenney: Eagles Super Bowl hopes, 'It's Always Sunny,' and 'Mythic Quest'

[Skip to content](#content)

Rob McElhenney is juggling a lot of projects. There’s _It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia_, the longest-running live-action sitcom in television history which he created.  There’s _Mythic Quest, the comedy_ on AppleTV+ set in the office of a multiplayer video game company. And there’s _Welcome to Wrexham,_ a docu-series about managing the professional Welsh football team he bought with actor Ryan Reynolds – it’s a sort of real-life Ted Lasso.  

[Rob McElhenney](https://www.instagram.com/robmcelhenney/?hl=en) grew up in South Philadelphia, the setting of _It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,_ and has always been a big fan of Philly sports. So, with the Birds headed to Super Bowl 59, we had to have him on Studio 2.
