His facial hair is getting greyer and greyer all the time, his bottom teeth have become misaligned (a common sign of aging if you pay attention). Maybe because he's always been bald, you think he doesn't age, but if you look at everything else, he's aged as much as anyone has in the last 20 years since Mr. Show.

Gail? That's gotta be Gail Berman, who was not just a "producer" but actually president of entertainment at Fox those years. Having won the moustache war against that complete moron is a huge victory because she was NOT any kind of rational person - she is the one who attempted to wreck Futurama, Firefly AND Arrested Development, one of which she successfully did murder and tried to butter it over with sweet words afterwards. Seriously, signing a contract with Fox during her reign was a death sentence for your project unless it was immediately profitable (which character driven stuff rarely is). AD was lucky to even get to be aired in order...

Overstepping one's area of expertise is a requirement for being a C-level.

It's just a fallacccccccy!

I can imagine him walking up to gale and saying “I mustache you why facial hair is such a big deal”

"Even if it means me taking a chubby I will suck it up!"

What's amazing is that David is NOTHING like Tobias, and yet I can't imagine anyone else playing that part. Criminally under rated actor.

The best analrapist

He remembers it distinctly then proceeds to be clueless

It's mind boggling to me that people can be this arbitrary and be successful when so much money is on the line. It's not like they wanted him to shave because his face would look better for lighting purposes. It's not like it was a character question - if anything the moustache enhances Cross's depiction of Tobias in a number of ways. It was just because this set-in-her-ways producer just categorically didn't like facial hair in comedy, and was too powerful to be questioned about it.

They originally wanted Bob Odenkirk as Walter White in Breaking Bad. True story.

There are few side kicks in sit com that steal a show like David Cross..... There's Tobias Funke, The Todd (scrubs) and Sheldon (BBT). Everytime Tobias showed up on screen, I just knew I was about to be entertained.

Wow, I never thought of it before, but maybe that's what initially threw me about Tobias. When I saw the AD pilot last year for the first time, something seemed off about Tobias' character to me, like he didn't belong on screen. When I saw him in his very first scene, I instantly disliked him (came to love him, but... first impressions). Maybe my reaction was being confused by the moustache, because you don't ever see it on comedy shows.
