But What Really Happened to Honey Nutz on 'You're the Worst'?

First of all, Gretchen was goddamn genius in last night’s episode of You’re the Worst. Everything she said and did was gold.

“Did she eat your dick?”
“I’m still fungry.”
“I gotta eat these cheesy bishes.”

And what is this an homage to?

Is that The Ring?

A little Exorcist here:

But the real horror of last night’s episode was the disappearance of Honey Nutz. Sam and Shit Stain aren’t the same without Honey Nutz, who is now out of the band, because apparently he’s 45 years old. “The other day he was freestyling about how the Challenger explosion really messed him up and the truth came out.”

And that, folks, is how You’re the Worst disguised the absence of Allen Maldonado, who apparently is no longer on You’re the Worst. Why?

Scheduling conflicts, one would imagine. Allen Maldonado is quietly hugely in demand now. He’s a recurring character on Black-ish.

He’s also now a series regular on an upcoming Tracy Morgan sitcom from Jordan Peele called The Last O.G. (along with Tiffany Haddish). He’s also just finished one movie, wrapped another, and filming a third (which he is also producing). Moreover, he’s a staff writer on the STARZ series Survivors Remorse, which just kicked off its fourth season. He also owns a recording company, a production company, a t-shirt line and a foundation.

Oh, he also makes short films, and next week, he’s launching a new app, “Everybody’s Digital,” which aspires to be the Netflix of short films.

In other words, Allen Maldonado is just too goddamn busy to play Honey Nutz on You’re the Worst anymore.
