  • Guest receives an agreed Apex yes because this was when he had the most influence.
  • Willard’s Fernwood success in the 1970s complicates his Apex candidacy.
  • John Michael Higgins receives an Apex yes.
  • O’Hara receives no settled alternate peak, with Home Alone, Beetlejuice, Schitt’s Creek and After Hours discussed instead of this film.
  • McKean’s Apex is placed at Better Call Saul.
  • Coolidge’s Apex is The White Lotus, while Legally Blonde and Stifler’s Mom support the possibility of more than one peak; a confused Stacy’s Mom song reference is explicitly corrected.
  • Willard’s Apex is ultimately no; dog shows are qualified against Westminster itself, while goat roasting, AM Philadelphia, terrier songs, American Bitch and pet-owner movies receive affirmative responses.
  • Lynch’s Apex is Glee.
  • Posey’s peak is tentatively placed in the mid-1990s, with Dazed and Confused and Guffman mentioned, although her lack of a clear major peak is lamented.
  • Levy’s Apex is Schitt’s Creek, including the added significance of working with his son.
  • Best in Show is at least a top-ten comedy ensemble; Anchorman and Bridesmaids are comparison candidates, and Anchorman becomes the tentative best ensemble rather than an enumerated top-ten list.
