Surprising Behind-the-Scenes Stories from ‘Married… with Children’

Ed O’Neill and David Faustino once revealed that parts of their real lives were woven into Married… with Children. O’Neill had been a college football player, much like Al Bundy, who constantly reminisced about his “glory days” on the field.

Meanwhile, Faustino had dreams of becoming a rapper, which inspired the producers to create his hilariously cringeworthy alter ego, Grandmaster B. The show’s ability to blend reality with satire made these storylines even funnier—especially since no one ever got Bud’s rap name right!
