Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
NBC pulled it after 4 episodes due to conservative group boycotts — notably the American Family Association, who objected to 'gay Jesus' (he wasn't) and a pill-popping priest's wife.
Garret Dillahunt played Jesus after being typecast as creeps — he reportedly based his chill Messiah on his stoner college roommate.
