As a gamer with a knack for binge-watching shows that strike the perfect balance of humor and heartfelt moments, I must confess that Shrinking has undoubtedly earned a spot on my favorites list. And let me tell you, the fourth episode of Season 2 was a game-changer! The arrival of Damon Wayans Jr. as Derrick #2, Gaby’s new love interest, sent my excitement levels soaring.
Warning: This discussion contains spoilers for episode 4 of Season 2 from the series ‘Shrinking’. If you haven’t watched it yet, you can catch up by streaming the show with your Apple TV+ subscription. Enjoy!
Jessica Williams shared an enchanting tale with us about the addition of extra features on her water bottle as it shrunk.
The initial lineup for “Shrinking” was already impressive, featuring stars like Jason Segel, Harrison Ford, Jessica Williams, and Christa Miller. But when Damon Wayans Jr. joined as Derek’s coworker and Gaby’s potential love interest in the fourth episode of Season 2, scheduled to air in 2024, it made an already strong cast even more exciting! Recently, I had a chance to talk with Jessica Williams about this new character, and she couldn’t contain her enthusiasm for collaborating with the talented Damon Wayans Jr. She also shared a funny tale about their first scene together on set.
After Gaby praised Liz’s husband Derek by saying “I want a Derek,” she unexpectedly introduces her to Derrick #2, an old colleague portrayed by Wayans. Later, in the same episode, when Gaby is packing up her things from Jimmy’s house since their relationship has ended, she encounters him once more. The playful exchange outside her friend’s house not only added charm but was also the first scene that Williams filmed with the actor from New Girl, as she shared with TopMob.
It appears that Damon needed to join us rather urgently, it seems. Given that he took up another assignment only a couple of days prior, our initial interactions were somewhat exploratory, and it was particularly the fourth episode where we collaborated for the first time.
The actress from The Incredible Jessica James commented that despite having limited time to rehearse, they swiftly found their stride. She explained that it was during the initial scene where Derrick held her collection of items that they uncovered “our shared pace and humor.
Additionally, this is what sparked their playful yet explicit jests about vibrators, as Williams put it.
However, let’s consider that the initial sequence might be Gaby tidying up a box filled with dildos and vibrators from Jimmy’s home. This could potentially lead to the second scene. The dialogue became quite explicit and humorous… In one instance, during our conversation, I’m not sure if it was included in the final cut, we joked about a big red vibrator. My character then nicknamed it Clifford. He then humorously referred to the resemblance with the Big Red Dog by barking, imitating the dog’s sound.
Subsequently, the actress confided in me that the moment seemed “typically memorable” to her since she and Wayans crafted the amusing sequence jointly. Indeed, it was delightful, effectively forging a bond between Gaby and Derrick over their shared wit and on-screen chemistry.
Moving forward with our discussion, Williams expressed uncertainty about whether her joke had been included in the broadcasted episode of the show. I reassured her that it was indeed included, and her eyes sparkled as she continued to recount:
Wow, thanks a bunch, Bill Lawrence! I’m thrilled to see that joke we came up with made it into the show! You know, it was one of my favorite moments because it was like our first back-and-forth banter where we were just stacking jokes on top of each other. It was just so absurdly funny and a bit dumb, but that’s what made it great!
As the story unfolded, we encountered a series of adorably ridiculous scenes – such as Derrick listening to Gaby’s quirky remix of the Lord of the Rings soundtrack – as the two characters gently developed their romantic connection, and I am eagerly anticipating future episodes. One aspect that makes me appreciate Shrinking is witnessing new relationships grow in a heartwarming manner through humorous encounters. It’s evident to me that Williams and Wayans share an exceptional dynamic capable of maintaining the playful, goofy, and endearing vibe throughout the series.
To find out more about this charming relationship as it develops beyond their initial meeting, which included a humorous vibrator joke, you can watch the latest episodes of the show “Shrinking” every Wednesday on Apple TV+.
