7 Unusual Demands Made By Guest Stars On Bob's Burgers
4. Jordan Peele Wanted A Female Role
Bob’s Burgers is known for its hilarious gender-swapping roles such as the main characters Linda and Tina, voiced respectively by John Roberts and Dan Mintz. When Key and Peel star Jordan Peel approached the creators and requested a female role, they were more than happy to assign him the role of Fanny.
During season four we meet the psychotic girlfriend of Felix Fischoder (another brilliant Galifianakis performance) and Peele very quickly takes the title of one of the most hilarious gender swaps the show has seen. Fanny makes an appearance in both of the Wharf House instalments.
Fanny is obviously a gold digger and the storyline follows as she plots the death of Calvin Fischoeder and the Belchers. Peele does a fantastic job of diving deep into the character and perfectly encompasses the role of a crazy girlfriend fueled by sabotage and attention.
Peele is a brilliant comedian and his ability to adapt to whatever role is thrown his way is extremely impressive. His role as Fanny is another example of how the star likes to challenge his acting abilities and sometimes that involves portraying a fear-inducing female.
