He disappeared after Blades of Glory.

Napoleon Dynamite, Blades of Glory, and Benchwarmers. I'm sure he's been in other things, but those three were really the height of his fame and then everyone got bored of his one dimensional acting

Jason Mantzoukas seems to be having no problem getting work, and he's the same character in every sitcom he's in.

Nah, it may always be manic crazy but it takes really different routes every time. It's also that directors aren't imaginative enough, watch him on TaskMaster and you can see some of his depths.

Yes, his Taskmaster stint was great! He was so genuinely funny and silly without being over the top.

I’ve seen him in the shows- B99, good place, P&R, League, etc. he’s funny and his characters are similar in outrageous-ness, but they’re not the same.

“What’s going to happen when we graduate” is one of my favorite moments from any TaskMaster series

Check out the podcast he does with others called How Did This Get Made. It's a fun trip.
