Adam DeVineis thankful to the Hollywood Gods forThe Righteous Gemstones.
DeVine portrays youngest brother Kelvin, who is trying to prove himself as the cool, hip youth pastor.
To me, I feel like with what Ive done withWorkaholics, they felt like kindred spirits.

We watched the whole thing and then we played it again.
I looked at him and go, Youre Danny McBride!
And hes like, Yeah, I know, and I go, Youre a bright shooting star.

I really said, Youre a bright shooting star to him.
Hes like, Oh, okay, man, like, what a weirdo.
Have you reminded him of it since you started working together?I brought it up to him.
Luckily, he has no recollection of that memory.
I think we were all partying pretty hard so I think the memory is pretty hazy for that interaction.
I was like, Dang, at least make this a little comfortable.
So I knew a little bit about this world.
I know I sure as hell dont.
I watched a lot of YouTube videos and a lot of clips of these pastors.
Its such a fun character to play because its not me at all.
Every time I put on these clothes, Im like, Yuck.
I hate this guy, hes trying so hard.
And I think we clicked really easily.
We hang out because weve become friends and it is clicking.
Its been really fun.
I mean, hes so cool; what a living legend.
To be able to work with him, it makes my parents appreciate what I do, honestly.
And Im like, What do you think Ive been doing?
Just because the other shows Ive done have just been me and my friends that its not real?
Theyre like, You know what I mean.
Well, okay, Im choosing not to take offense to that because he is a legend.
Like, next season Im for sure going to learn how to play the piano and speak German.
Do you guys need me to problem solve anything or work with the script?
And theyre like, No, weve got it.
So there was a bizarre amount of down time that I definitely wasnt used to.
The Righteous Gemstonespremieres Sunday at 10 p.m.
