Here’s How Much Of Rick And Morty Is Really Improvised

In Season 1 of “Rick and Morty,” when the episode “Rixty Minutes” saw Rick Sanchez introducing his grandson to interdimensional cable, the duo commented that the strange shows they were watching had “an almost improvisational tone.” The line was a sly wink to the fact that the snippets of TV shows from other dimensions seen in that episode were indeed improvised, as were many elements of “Rick and Morty” early on. While “Rick and Morty” once involved sizeable doses of improvised dialogue, things have changed.

When “Rick and Morty” began, the two title characters were voiced by series’ co-creator Justin Roiland.
