Next year were going to drag around the corpse of Jackie Gleason and maybe Fanny Brice.

Well see thats a good sweeps stunt.

Hulu will definitely be impressed with our ability to get the corpse of Fanny Brice on the show.

You wont see that onThe Path!

We wrote this role for her and she really just created the character and took it into this place.

She has these affectations, and really plays a very specific show business person.

Moore had a relationship with both Eichner and Klausner before herDifficult Peopleguest spot.

Julianne had been following me on Twitter, and she had done Julies podcast.

I think she was a fan of mine and a fan of Julie, Eichner explained.

Klausner said, laughing.

She was like, I want to do your show; write me a part.

We thought, Well, what do we want to have her do?

One world is where she plays Julianne Moore, but you wanna watch her act.

Eichner added Its just an honor to be screamed at by Nathan Lane.

And perhaps Im carrying the screaming torch.

I did make him laugh at one point when we were in the bathroom yelling at him!

I just could not be a bigger fan of Nathan Lane, Eichner gushed.

And yes, developing scenes for acclaimed comedy writer Fey is a pretty daunting task.

An enraged Miranda confronts the pair on misquoting him.

He was so enthusiastic and really committed to it, and we were ad-libbing together, Eichner said.

Ive known Lin for 10 years, maybe more.

We kind of came up together, Eichner said.

We would often cross paths and we became mutual friends and fans of each others shows.

I just love Joel McHale.

Filming McHales episode wasnt smooth sailing for Eichner.

Thankfully, McHale was around to comfortingly heckle Eichner immediately after the near-death experience.

He was making fun of me for almost getting killed, and thats Joel and I adore him.

It was completely surreal, Klausner said of working with the duo.

Even in the history of my recapping, Luanns always been my favorite housewife.

Youre just like, Oh, Luann.'

Morgan and de Lesseps play themselves in a storyline with Andrea Martin, who portrays Julies mother Marilyn.

He just had a wonderful sense of humor and was really willing to go for it, Eichner said.

Hes a really wonderful person, and incredibly easy to work with.

So that was the story, and then we tried to get Nyle first, and we did.

I was blown away by how funny he was, Eichner said.

He completely embraced it and absolutely loved it.
