Both Blake Griffin the NBA player and the Blake Griffin the NBA player in this episode, are portrayed by Blake Griffin the NBA player.
Blake Griffin's performance on TV was noticed in 2016 in 'Broad City' episode B&B-NYC. He impressed the viewers with his comic timing and managed to bag a show as a host in 'Double Cross With Blake Griffin'.
Griffin was naked for almost his entire appearance on the show, and according to Broad City stars Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson, Griffin was down with the idea of being naked almost from the start. They did have to do some convincing to get him to do it, but in the end, he was fine with it.
