Attempted murders and tigers and cameos, oh my!

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Was Abbott always going to be the shooter?

And as we started writing, it just wrapped up both these characters arcs in a good way.

Gamby has been sort of consistent in judging people wrong.

So I think this sort of weakness of his is bearing fruit and leading to his demise.

But ultimately, hes the boy who cried wolf.

Why did you go that route?Im not sure what the future for Lee and Gamby holds.

Whether that means those guys dont talk anymore, Im not sure.

Is this a happy or sad ending for Lee?

[Laughs]

And why have Neal be principal at a middle school and not North Jackson High?

What was it like to at least briefly reunite with him?It was amazing to reunite with him.

I love Steve Little, hes one of the funniest people Ive ever been around.

you might only imagine what the next school year would be like for those two guys.

Is this definitely the end forVice Principals?

I love playing Gamby.

And I love watching Walton play Lee Russell.

Ill be thinking, Goddamn hes destroying this, I want to see him do more of it.

We couldnt follow this up by doing just another knock-off season.

And I feel like thats a problem with showrunners.

I like the idea of creating new characters and not just being stuck writing jokes for old ones.
