The cast of the second season earned repeat nominations for last year’s Best Actor in a Comedy Sudeikis, Best Supporting Actor winner in a Comedy Goldstein and Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Waddingham.

In addition to starring, Sudeikis serves as executive producer, alongside Bill Lawrence via his Doozer Productions, in association with Warner Bros. and Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group. Doozer’s Jeff Ingold also serves as an executive producer, with Liza Katzer as co-executive producer.
