Buddy Goodrich, played by Ron Glass, is a comedian who appears in the episode False Arrest and has fans such as the Winslows who watch his show on television every week. However, Carl is the only one who isn't impressed by him for a reason. He thinks Buddy is a waste of time because of his unusual and bad way of parenting with his adopted children on the show. When Carl goes to the venue where the show is taped Carl notices Buddy's car parked in the hadicapped spot. He asks the manager to tell Buddy to move his car. The manager does, but gets into a fight with him and Carl tries to reason with him to move it. Instead, Buddy assaults him three times despite his warnings to stop and he's arrested for it. Carl reads him his rights.
