Sharing a photo of Toby’s list of baby names, Erin explained, “An Easter egg from our friend @sullivangrams: earlier this year on @nbcthisisus, Kate and Toby were at the hospital awaiting their baby. Our friend Chris, who plays Toby, was writing down ideas for the baby’s middle name and he snuck Mae (and her middle name!) in there to see if we would spot it when we watched the episode.”
“This Is Us” creator Dan Fogelman and executive producer Ken Olin also made an appearance on the list.
