Adam Pally and guest star Larry Wilmore
shared an awkward kiss on ABC's Wednesday night comedy Happy
Endings.
Happy Endings, now in its second
season, has yet to introduce a boyfriend for Pally's
non-stereotypical gay character Max Blum.
Last season, in the episode titled
You've Got Male, Max organizes a protest against a big coffee
chain's entry into the neighborhood – he objects to the
neighborhood's gentrification, which can only lead to families –
only to pull back after he realizes that he's dating the store's
owner, Ian, played by Max Greenfield. But Pally and Greenfield never
shared an on-screen kiss and their relationship hasn't been heard
from in season two.
This week, however, brought Pally's
first same-sex on-screen kiss.
In
Secrets
and Limos, Max gets chummy with Brad Williams' (played by
Damon Wayans) boss, who is played by Larry Wilmore (The Daily
Show). The pair bond over Max's vintage limo. In the office,
Max reaches in for a kiss after the boss tells him he's “a great
guy.”
In retelling the story to Brad, Max
says he was kicked out of the office because he “misread a moment.”
