The "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" creator recalled an episode of the series referencing the musician

Actor and entrepreneur Rob McElhenney honored the late Jimmy Buffett

Rob McElhenney joined the chorus of fans who are mourning the passing of music icon Jimmy Buffett on social media.

The actor and businessman posted a nostalgic throwback post on his social media channels honoring the late musician and also referencing his show "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia".

Going to a Jimmy Buffett concert

The actor, who created the hit FX series 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' in 2005, posted two photos of himself on Instagram, one throwing it back to his teenage years actually going to see the late musician in concert and a screengrab from an episode of the comedy series.

He captioned the post with "Me going to see Jimmy Buffett in 1995 and 2018. Same outfits. Same good times. RIP @jimmybuffett" along with a couple of emojis of a cocktail and musical notes.

The second image, which shows McElhenney's character (Mac) wearing a Hawaiian shirt and colorful hat sitting in the show's bar, corresponds to episode 6 of the 13th season of the sitcom titled "The Gang Solves the Bathroom Problem" which plot depicts the show's characters getting ready to go to a Jimmy Buffett concert when they are side-tracked into debating the issue around trans people being allowed to use the bathroom corresponding to their gender.

'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' aired its 16th season in 2023. McElhenney, who is one of the stars of the show, is also a writer and a producer of the sitcom.

The 46-year-old is also known in Hollywood as a successful podcaster and businessman.

McElhenney has recently received notoriety from the sports world for his investment in Wrexham AFC along actor Ryan Reynolds.

McElhenney helps bring in $1billion to Wrexham

In 2020, McElhenney and Reynolds bought Welsh football team Wrexham AFC.

Three years after their initial investment the team achieved promotion into the English Football League after 15 seasons and it was recently announced that the actor's efforts with the team have represented an estimated £1 billion boost to the North Wales region.

Jim Jones, the chief executive of North Wales Tourism, commented recently about the turnaround in the region saying "It's impossible to accurately calculate the precise value of the profile created by their special brand of magic, but the Rob and Ryan factor would undoubtedly be worth more than £1bn if you had to pay for the equivalent coverage in advertising."
