Kelly has played Jesse for four seasons as of Spring 2022. Of his feelings about playing Jesse, Kelly said, "I get to really play with these quirks and explore the nerdy comedic side of him, because he’s the youngest one on the team. He’s the millennial. He makes the jokes that the older folks don’t quite understand. That’s something that I just always latched onto and always really enjoyed."[5] Following the finale of season 4, the hit show has since been renewed for season 5, set to premier in Fall 2022.[6]
