    What’s funny is how Ken acts in interviews compared to his show presence. In his interviews he’s always calm and composed and in nearly every role he’s played in entertainment he’s over-the-top and absolutely cracks me up. Just seems like an awesome guy.

      Here's Joe Russo, director of that episode any many future ones, talking about how much he absolutely loved making that scene. So maybe Harmon wasn't a fan, but it certainly wasn't completely discouraged. th-cam.com/video/cK64vSJ5AoI/w-d-xo.html. Ken talks more about it, too.
      He does say it took 2+ hours for like 30 seconds of screentime, not great when shooting for TV.

His specific style makes everything a pleasant surprise and even more funny regardless of the topic of script. It’s a refreshing way to laugh, when it’s unexpected in the way he gives it to us!
