Did any of the guests ever seek you out because they wanted to be on the show?

We got a call a few weeks after the writers strike ended saying that Britney Spears wanted to be on our show. And she specifically wanted to be in the episode "Ten Sessions," which sent a chill down our spines, because that's the one where we meet Stella. I immediately imagined Britney playing Stella and had a minor panic attack, because it's such a big role and needed an proven, experienced actress like Sarah Chalke. But to her credit, Britney liked the character of Abby, and wanted to play that part. So we said sure! And by golly she put our show on the map. It can't be overstated. Britney Spears rescued us from ever being on the bubble again. Thanks Britney!
Bruno Mars in the Halftime Show also set a new high, with 115.3 million viewers (versus 114.0 million for previous champ Madonna in 2012 and 110.8 million for Beyonce in 2013).
In its original broadcast in the United States, "Ten Sessions" was watched by 10.62 million viewers according to the Nielsen ratings. It attracted 1 million more viewers than the previous episode, and 2.4 million more than the show's average before the writer's strike
