Netflix'sSpace Forcemay have mature sex big dick videosits issues, but there's no denying the strength of that cast.
The series boasts an enviable roster of regulars and guest stars — from established superstars like Steve Carell and John Malkovich, to familiar favorites like Ben Schwartz and Jimmy O. Yang, to rising talents like Tawny Newsome and Diana Silvers.
But with just ten episodes out, you may leave Space Forcewishing for a bit more time with the performers you've come to love. So until Netflix announces Season 2, here's where you can see more of their work.
Ben Schwartz: Middleditch & Schwartz
No, seriously, Ben Schwartz will make you love improv. Credit: Jeffery Neira / NETFLIX Sure, Ben Schwartz is fun in Space Forceas slimy social media director F. Tony. But you know where you can see Ben Schwartz in his full range of comic talents? Middleditch & Schwartz, a two-man show Mashable reporter Kellen Beck describes as "improv comedy at its peak form."
Each episode sees longtime pals Schwartz and Thomas Middleditch (Silicon Valley) spinning elaborate stories based on audience suggestions — cycling through ever more absurd characters and plot twists as we wait to see how they'll bring it all together. Be prepared to gasp with laughter at this one.
Where to watch:Middleditch & Schwartzis available to stream on Netflix.
Tawny Newsome: Yo, Is This Racist?
If you enjoyed Tawny Newsome as straight-shooting Space Force captain Angela Ali, definitely check out her podcast Yo, Is This Racist? As the title suggests, it's a show about racism. But it's much funnier than that description makes it sound, thanks to the energetic rapport between Newsome, her co-host Andrew Ti, and their frequently hilarious guests.
Space Forcefans might like to check out Episode #1064, featuring Space Forceguest star Aparna Nancherla. Or, if you're really into the Ali / Chan ship, you can pony up for a Stitcher Premium account and go back to Episode #992 to hear Newsome chat with future Space Forceco-star Jimmy O. Yang.

Jimmy O. Yang: Good Deal
'Good Deal' is 57 minutes of pure unfiltered Jimmy O. Yang. Credit: Sunita Martini / Comedy Dynamics Best known as the obnoxious Jian-Yang from Silicon Valleyand the equally obnoxious Bernard Tai in Crazy Rich Asians, Jimmy O. Yang gets to show off a more chill, charming side of himself as the lovable Dr. Chan on Space Force. And he gets to show off another side still in his recent comedy special Jimmy O. Yang: Good Deal, in which he riffs on everything from the not-so-exotic secrets of tai chi to the very adult thrills of HGTV with the class-clown energy of your very funniest friend. (But, you know, even funnier, because he's a professional.)
Where to watch: Jimmy O. Yang: Good Dealis available to stream on Amazon Prime.
Diana Silvers: Booksmart
Have you seen Booksmartyet? You should see Booksmart, if you haven't already. Heck, even if you have seen Booksmart, you should probably watch it again. It's just that good — not least because it features an excellent young cast, including Diana Silvers, aka Mark's daughter Erin in Space Force.
Silvers co-stars in Booksmartas Hope, perhaps the coolest girl in school. She's smart, stylish, and slightly mean, but in a snarky way that only makes her seem even cooler, and that makes her eventual connection with...well, we won't spoil it...seem all the more endearing.

Jessica St. Clair: Avenue 5
Has any actor spent more of 2020 dealing with space-related shenanigans? Credit: HBO While we're always happy to see Jessica St. Clair show up, Space Forcedoes not, in our opinion, use her nearly enough — she shows up in only handful of episodes as Kelly, Mark's nice and normal potential love interest. So turn your eyes to this year's otherworkplace comedy about going into space, HBO's Avenue 5, in which she gets to go much bigger and funnier as Mia, one-half of a horrible bickering couple stuck on an intergalactic vacation from hell.

Lisa Kudrow: The Comeback
Obviously you don't need us to tell you to watch Friendsto see more of Lisa Kudrow, who plays Mark's wife Maggie in Space Force. But perhaps you could use a reminder to check out her work on The Comeback, in which she plays a washed-up TV actress trying to revive her career with a crappy sitcom and accompanying reality show. Though the HBO comedy never reached the cultural saturation of a Friends, its ahead-of-its-time brilliance was nevertheless enough to earn it a reputation as one of the very best shows of the 2020s. Just be prepared to cringe. And squirm. Maybe a lot.

Ginger Gozanga: Kidding
Obviously, Ginger Gozanga is the one on the right. Credit: Erica Parise / SHOWTIME Ginger Gozanga, aka AOC stand-in "AYC" on Space Force, appears in Showtime’s Kiddingopposite as Vivian, a cancer patient with whom Jeff (Jim Carrey) forms an immediate connection and starts an unlikely and unhealthy relationship.
What makes Vivian so compelling is that she has no time for platitudes about pain and speaks candidly about how much her situation sucks. Once she’s in remission, she dumps Jeff in front of his whole family, which leads to this gem of a scene in which half a dozen people yell “Fuck you” at a woman who was previously dying of cancer. — Proma Khosla, Entertainment Reporter

Don Lake: Mascots
75% of these people would later go on to appear in 'Space Force.' Credit: Netflix One-star Space Force general Brad Gregory should look awfully familiar to fans of Christopher Guest films — actor Don Lake has popped up in Best in Show, A Mighty Wind, For Your Consideration, and more. Their most recent collaboration was the Netflix original Mascots, and while it's admittedly not one of their most loved films, it's still a solid showcase for Lake's brand of guileless eccentricity. (Look for other Space Forceguest stars like Jane Lynch, Michael Hitchcock, and Fred Willard to show up, too.)
Where to watch:Mascotsis available to stream on Netflix.
John Malkovich: Burn After Reading
An upset John Malkovich is a delightful thing to behold, as we were so recently reminded thanks to Dr. Adrian Mallory's arc in the final episodes of Space Force. Fortunately for us, angry Malkoviches also aren't particularly rare. We're especially partial to his apoplectic performance as disgraced CIA agent Osbourne Cox in the Coen brothers' Burn After Reading— which, come to think of it, shares some of the dark Strangelove-ian humor that Space Forceseems to be striving for.
Where to watch:Burn After Readingis available to stream on iTunes.
Noah Emmerich: The Americans
Noah Emmerich gets serious as Stan Beeman on 'The Americans.' Credit: Patrick Harbron / FX Noah Emmerich's appearance as Air Force general Kick Grabaston in Space Forceseems like as good an excuse as any to finally get around to watching The Americans, in which he plays a very different kind of government employee.
In contrast to his comic role here, he's deadly serious as FBI agent Stan Beeman on The Americans— who just so happens to be friends with two undercover KGB spies. Strap in for six seasons of tension, suspense, and one hell of a series finale. Stan's evolution from Joe Government FBI Agent to a man with complicated feelings and loyalties is an intense journey to take. — Annie Colbert, Executive Editor

Steve Carell: The Dana Carvey Show
Steve Carell's been a household name since The Office, but have you seen his work from before his Dunder-Mifflin days?
The Dana Carvey Showwas his first major TV role, and while not everything about the short-lived (it aired for less than two months in 1996) sketch comedy series has aged well, it's fascinating to see what Carell was like early in his career — and how clearly he seemed destined for comedy stardom even then. Episode 5's "Waiters Who Are Nauseated By Food," which also features a pre-fame Stephen Colbert, is a good place to start.
Where to watch:The Dana Carvey Showis available to stream on Crackle.
