We chat with AmericanAuto creator Justin Spitzer about tonight's episode, 'Going Green,' Superstore star Ben Feldman's guest appearance came about, and what fans can expect from the Sadie & Jack will-they-won't-they:
American Auto is keeping the workplace comedy alive in its second season, and it even had a mini-reunion this week for creator Justin Spitzer's previous show, Superstore. Ben Feldman dropped by for tonight's episode, "Going Green," playing Wesley's obnoxious tech bro friend. When Katherine and the team at Payne Motors find themselves with their backs against the wall thanks to public opinion, they look to Chase to make a quick investment in his supposed Green initiative.
But I didn't know if or when that episode would ever come, so when we had this part, it was actually our DP Jay Hunter's idea. He was my DP on both Superstore and American Auto, and he was directing this one. He said, "What about Ben?" and I knew this would be a part he was great for. And I decided to go with it, since it's a good part for now, and you never know about future seasons. I'm glad we did it.
Justin Spitzer: I don't think we've ever really even done flashbacks on Superstore or American Auto. I'm not totally opposed to them, but I think it probably wouldn't be there. Also, for an episode like this, we didn't even start with the environmental aspects. That kind of came later. We started with them getting conned by tech in general, and we were thinking of Theranos and other stories like that. Then the green part came later. We liked the idea of them talking themselves into something and rushing in because everyone else is; that seemed like a fun thing to explore.
Is there any character arc that you're most excited by or that you think fans will be most surprised by this season? As for the first one, it's challenging. I've always maintained that Katherine is not a stupid person. She's a smart person, and isn't even really bad at her job, although maybe that's debatable when it comes to certain aspects of her job. We want the comedy to come from real places, but then you also want to have character comedy, and that's a challenge.
We're about to shoot a pilot that I wrote with Eric Ledgin, who I've worked with both on Superstore and American Auto, and that's set inside a hospital. I guess that's the medical industry, and that one probably is a little bit more industry-related. It's not about class as much as it is what happens there.
