Daryl Hall was asked how he approached his part in The Cleveland Show. He replied, "We're just ourselves. Because of that, I think that I can sort of stretch in any direction. I love doing comedy. I did a show called Z Rock about six months ago that was a lot of improv and a lot of fun, and I've done other things, even back to SCTV back in the early '80s, so this is one of those things I like to do occasionally. I think John is the same as me. We really feel sort of comfortable with this comedic thing, and we like to stretch."
Mike Henry agreed, "No, we just wanted them to be themselves, and essentially in an argument bickering at each other, and threatening." Laughing, Daryl Hall said, "It was not a stretch."
Though The Cleveland Show's first season isn't even halfway over, Mike Henry is looking toward next season. "We had Carl Reiner in a few weeks ago recording next year's holiday Christmas episode, and that was a tremendous thrill." And for this season, "As part of our Christmas episode, Rallo is missing his real dad who lives in town, and he's voiced by Corey Hokum, who is an absolutely hilarious standup. Rallo's real dad, Robert, is kind of a bad boy, and so Cleveland sets out in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve to try to find Robert to bring him home for his stepson on Christmas morning."
Mike Henry was particularly proud of this Thanksgiving episodes, saying, "I don't want to give too much away about the episode, but I will say that it is personally my favorite so far, and I think the funniest so far."
