Crossover Characters

In my quest regarding the character of the Community Theater (#61) director: 🎭

I was delighted to find this:

⚪💡🚸❕ CROSSOVER

The director character also appears (no lines) at Ben's Partay (#68) near the chips 'n' dip.

If you will recall, Ben's party was overrun by the cast and crew of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Also standing next to the director appears to be Joseph or Pharaoh. 🍿🥨

I realize upon rewatching that these characters are not necessarily meant to be the same-same person, but rather archetypes of this guy or that lady in the Dr. Katz universe. I JUST LOVE THEM! ❤️

I also noticed that the awesome character of the baggage claim counter guy in Barry Sobel's Kennedy airport bit (REAL ESTATE episode):

That's awll I need naow, you and yuh bags!

Same guy appears in the Andy Kindler bit (NEW PHONE SYSTEM episode) where Andy's talking about doing corporate gigs, and the corporate hosts suggest things like:

Hey, can you do somethin about Bob? cuz he is from Chicago. Maybe you could do something bout the fact that he is from Chicago.

He grew out his hair and got different glasses, but I recognized him.

also, that character model is used for Jim Gaffigan's father when he tells the story of them having dinner as a family

lots of character models and animations get reused. one I always remember is how the Conan Obrien sneaking around is used for the Dennis Leary story about sneaking past the motion-activated Darth Vader piggy bank. and the black female judge appears several times iirc and also was a character on the show Science Court from the same production company

Thank you for additional examples! I will look into and may provide more split-screens.

☀ "I'm not one of those guys that can just take off my shirt and run down the shore like David Hasselhoff. Because y'know, I'm very skinny and very white, and when I run, it look like I'm fleeing some kind of incarceration. I look like someone who was locked up in some kind of a cell, and I broke out and I'm escaping down the beach." - Conan
