- A pitched new category: the small part where a director or producer put a pal, like a player who stays on a team because the star likes him; the Jack Collinsworth Nepotism Award is floated first.
- Sedi Osman under LeBron is written down but rejected because he can play now; the Udana's Haslam Award name is offered and liked.
- The example is Lopez's boss, played by Wendell Harris, primarily a director who won a Sundance audience award in 1990 and is guessed to be a buddy of Sotaberg's.
- A Scrubs example: the Todd, a basketball-game regular who played a meathead surgeon with a line in most episodes.
- Producer Craig thought of James Jones; Mike Miller is too good; Eddie House is floated.
- Eddie Murphy's best friend Clint Smith, in many Murphy movies including the 48 Hours prison bunkmate, is a favorite version.
