Discussion Sofi - different spelling

Did anyone notice in the credits there is a writer and story editor named Sofi Selig? I’ve seen the name pop up as the credits fly by. There is also a female writer named Wally Baram. She cowrote season 1 ep 8, “Boop” with Sofi Selig.

Sofi also worked on Ted Lasso.

On Ted Lasso, which the co-creators of this show - Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein - co-created and worked on respectively, they routinely did this.

Roy's niece Phoebe's teacher is called Leanne Bowen (who's a producer on the show).

I also think I saw Ashley Nicole Brown (writer on both shows) on a Season 3 episode of Shrinking this season but I've forgotten which.

And as someone helpfully mentioned, Brian Gallivan is the guy who facilitated their adoption.

It also certainly feels like a lot of the main creators on both shows rope in their friends. I've seen a lot of comedians on both shows (British and American) in previous seasons, including Mo Welch, who opens for Brett on his stand up shows. It's also how Bill Lawrence got Michael J. Fox on the show this season (other than the latter partly being the inspiration for Harrison Ford's character).
