Even though she has comedic roots and had her start by being a performer of stand-up comedy, she didn’t get the role. The actress who did eventually get the career-defining part was Katey Sagal, who is not new to Hollywood since her father used to be in show business prior to his death and way before she actually was.

It’s the thing that he likes doing best and eventually became his characteristic position. What viewers probably didn’t have a clue in is that Psycho Dad was his favorite TV show. The producers were sending this subtle hint to the audience. They didn’t want to bluntly stereotype Al as a kind of dad that was crazy. Well, life does, in many ways, imitate art. Just saying.
