Walton Goggins, a prominent figure in contemporary television, has voiced his strong opinions regarding some of Hollywood’s most underrated comedians. Notably, he centered his remarks on the contributions of Danny McBride, Jody Hill, and David Gordon Green, whose work he believes has gone unrecognized by major award ceremonies, an oversight he describes as “almost unforgivable.”
Hollywood’s Underrated Comedians
In a 2024 interview, Goggins highlighted the comedic prowess of McBride, Hill, and Green, emphasizing their transformative impact on the comedy landscape. He argued that their unique comedic styles, exemplified in shows like Eastbound & Down and Vice Principals, have reshaped viewers’ expectations.
Noteworthy Projects
The trio has been instrumental in creating significant television series:
- Eastbound & Down: A sports comedy featuring McBride as Kenny Powers.
- Vice Principals: Co-created by McBride and Hill, with Green as executive producer.
- The Righteous Gemstones: Goggins appeared as Baby Billy Freeman in this HBO series from 2019 to 2025.
Acknowledgment and Awards
Despite the critical acclaim of their projects, none have received notable recognition at major award shows. The only significant acknowledgment came in the form of a Critics’ Choice Television Award for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, awarded to Goggins.
The Future of the Trio
As the three comedians have recently pursued individual projects, the timeline for their future collaborations remains uncertain. Goggins currently enjoys a surge in popularity, appearing in multiple successful television series, including The White Lotus, Invincible, and Fallout.
The entertainment industry continues to evolve, and it is hoped that McBride, Hill, and Green will soon receive the recognition they deserve for their innovative contributions to comedy.
