Yasper

The episode follows Danner as she interviews amateur one-man ska band and AV repairman Yasper E. Lennov, who recounts the night's events in the style of a show-stopping musical,[5] as his best friend Aniq continues investigating outside.

[7] After Danner's partner Culp (John Early) apparently accidentally deletes all the security camera footage of the night of the murder, Danner (Tiffany Haddish) next interviews Xavier's ex-bandmate Yasper (Ben Schwartz), who tells his story in the style of a toe-tapping musical, having asked Xavier to "bless a track" of his at the reunion before waiting for him in his recording studio during the after-party.

Doing so also gave Miller the idea to present each version of the event as a separate genre in line with the respective POV's of each witness, called "mind-movies" in the series itself.

[12][13][14] Speaking on his performance of the rap duet "Two Shots" with Ben Schwartz in the episode, Sam Richardson called it "certainly a fun challenge [since] my skill set, is not rapping and choreography”, describing it as "like a music video", with Schwartz complimenting the choreography of his solo songs "Yeah, Sure, Whatever" and "Three Dots from Stardom", calling it "the monster one",[15][16] having been approached for the series off of his musical talent.

[17] In November 2020, the cast was announced, including Tiffany Haddish, Sam Richardson, Ben Schwartz, Ike Barinholtz, Ilana Glazer and Dave Franco.

[24] Jordan Williams of Screen Rant similarly lauded the song's "playfully mocking twist" on Hamilton in being "a bit more optimistic in saying it's never too late to achieve your dreams".

[28] Mary Littlejohn of TV Fanatic called the episode "the funniest half-hour of television to grace my screen in a long time", stating that "Ben Schwartz is a gift to comedy, okay?

[29] MJ Malpiedi of Comic Book Resources comparatively praised Schwartz's performance as Yasper to his Parks and Recreation character Jean-Ralphio Saperstein, deeming the characters to have similar "energy", describing the song "Two Shots" as "a motivational hip-hop track [spoofing] Eminem's "Lose Yourself"", "Yeah, Sure, Whatever" as "perfectly captur[ing] the themes of misconception and second chances", and "Three Dots from Stardom" as "solemn".

[34] Shirley Tayshete of Meaww called the episode "very Bollywood-esque, filled with songs and a cast that join in for a perfectly choreographed number [with] Schwartz [being] extremely likable as Yasper and bring[ing] a child-like innocence to the character as he sings of his dreams", concluding to call out "Yasper and Aniq's bromance [as] a highlight with Richardson and Schwartz making an excellent comedic duo that goes together like peanut butter and jelly".
