He also has to contend with his agent Princess Carolyn (Amy Sedaris), roommate Todd Chavez (Aaron Paul), and former rival Mr. Peanutbutter (Paul F. Tompkins), as well as his struggles with depression and addiction. The series premiered on Netflix on August 22, 2014, and concluded on January 31, 2020, after six seasons and 77 episodes.
