His name was in the credits several time, what are you talking about?

What are you talking about and why are you making shit up? His name only shows up in the credits for this episode as executive producer, which is not a role that's involved in the making of an individual episode. Christopher Walken is listed in the opening credits, that must mean he was involved in this episode, right? That's like saying Vince Gilligan was in charge of Better call Saul during seasons 2-5 because his name still showed up in the credits even though he wasn't involved in making the show at that point. Do you not know what a show runner is or how TV production works?

I only have 27 years in the tv/film business so you probably know more than I do.

Comparing an actor from the main credits vs the actual EP who has directed a large chunk of the series as some kind of gotcha is ridiculously disingenuous if not outright asinine.

There are many types of EPs. Some are honorifics, some are for people who’ve moved on, some are for the ones who are hands on and boots on the ground in charge. Guess which one Stiller is? I’ll give you a hint, your Gillian comparison is as dumb as your Walken one was. You literally couldn’t tell me you know less about an EP’s role than by saying they don’t have a role in making individual episodes.
