Terry

> *"Hey, where's that jerk producer of yours? Because I challenge him to top our ratings: eight whole viewers. Concurrently. At the same time. Beat that." -* Terry

Terry is the producer of Down to Film's competitor show, Late Night Sketches, and Rich's sworn rival. He serves as a minor antagonist for the first half of season 19.

## Personality

Terry is a highly competitive and arrogant bully. He takes delight in being perceived as better than everyone else and enjoys taunting people he sees as inferior to him, mainly the crew of Down to Film. He's a massive egotist and greatly overestimates his own talents. He sustains these delusions of grandeur by surrounding himself with yes men who laugh at everything he says.

Terry is also the definition of a brown-noser, constantly sucking up to Shauna. He obeys her every command, showers her with compliments and, in general, simps in exchange for favorable treatment. He seems to genuinely, greatly enjoy being the "teacher's pet."

## Biography

### The First Producers Meeting

> *"Nice of you to show up...asshole."* - Terry
>
>

Terry is first introduced during the semester's first Producers Meeting, following the general assembly. He begins taunting Rich almost immediately after he enters the room. The meeting begins and Shauna congratulates LNS for recruiting the most members. Terry responds to this by standing dramatically to receive a smattering of applause, then turning to Shauna to thank her directly.

Terry continues to suck up to Shauna throughout the meeting, overenthusiastically replying to all of her questions and turning his aggression on Rich whenever he questions her. At one point, he throws a balled-up piece of paper at a distracted Rich and tells him to "pay attention."

### The FANNTM Phone Heist

Terry and Shauna laughing at Rich.

Hearing a commotion in the studio, Terry peeks his head in to see Rich performing his monologue. He, of course, finds it hilarious and leaves, declaring to himself that "someone has to see this."

Terry finds Shauna in her office and walks in while she's reprimanding Daisy, Wyly, and Lola. After commenting on her yoga clothes and suggesting that they should do yoga together sometime, he urges her to come and see what's happening in the studio. The two leave together, unintentionally giving Daisy, Wyly, and Lola an opportunity to steal the phone from Shauna's death.

Meanwhile, Rich, in the middle of another take, has his monologue interrupted when Terry and Shauna, hiding by the door start laughing. Terry, still laughing, mockingly encourages Rich to keep going. The two continue to laugh at Rich until they're scared off by Nik.

### The Live Show Competition

After hiring Sterling Knight to cameo on LNS, Terry makes the actor deliver a message to the crew of Down to Film, challenging them to a live show competition, wherein whoever can garner the most viewers in an hour-long time slot wins. When the crew of Down to Film (sans Rich and Daisy) show up for the competition the next day, Terry brags to them about how many viewers they got during their time slot. He also comes up with several uncreative insults based on the name "Down to Film," including "Down to Freak Me Out" and "Down to Flake." True to form, he finds these insults hilarious, demanding that one of his crew members write them down for him. He and the rest of his crew exit the studio, laughing maniacally.

Later, after the crew realizes that they aren't actually on air, Terry pops back into the studio to taunt them, saying that he and the rest of his crew are watching "Next Week Cow" in the war room. He is, once again, scared off by Nik, but manages to shoot off one more insult before leaving.

### The Aftermath

During the producer's meeting following the live show, Terry is clearly having a bad time, asking if they can just "start already." When Rich finally arrives, Terry stares him down from across the table, prompting Rich to address him by the wrong name, which only annoys him further. He gives a single, half-hearted clap when Shauna congratulates Down to Film on winning the competition and is completely incredulous when Shauna just lets Rich leave.

## Relationships

Terry taunts the crew.

**Shauna:** Terry is constantly kissing Shauna's ass whenever he gets the chance. Whether or not he's actually romantically or sexually attracted to Shauna is unclear and largely irrelevant, as it mostly seems as though he just wants the status that comes with being the Station Manager's "favorite."

**Rich:** Terry is excessively aggressive towards Rich for no clear reason other than the fact that he and the rest of Down to Film seem like easy targets. Although Terry seems like an active participant in their rivalry, Rich doesn't seem that invested, barely even knowing Terry's name.

## Notes and Trivia

* Terry's name isn't actually spoken on-screen until S19E04, when Sterling Knight reads the message he wrote. Even then, Rich seems to not recognize the name, needing to be reminded by Charlie.
