These dogs were also a source of relief and comfort to everyone involved. Bretman Rock, we see you and you look amazing!

But even though he was not an official part of the Hairspray Live! cast, his appearance was definitely highlight. After being discovered by fans, he swears he did not realize they were recording for television but thought he would only be seen on a Facebook livestream.
