Who Should be in Only Murders in the Building?

Unsure who watches the Hulu show "Only Murders In the Building" which just finished season 3 and got renewed for a season 4. The cast is great with Steve Martin who also co-created, Martin Short who has done a number of projects with Steve Martin, and Selena Gomez. They are tenants in this highly-upscaled apartment complex in New York and they investigate a murder in the building and make a podcast about it. It's been one of the most-watched original series on Hulu and critically acclaimed scoring 100%, 98%, and 96% on Rotten Tomatoes in their three seasons. They also landed guest/recurring stars like Tina Fey, Paul Rudd, Meryl Streep, Nathan Lane, Andrea Martin, Amy Schumer, Sting, among others. However, I feel like they can add more people. Here's my list of who should be in the show and some who should come back. 

Chevy Chase: Why not have a Three Amigos reunion by having Chevy Chase appear on the show. It would be great but Chevy is not the nicest guy in entertainment and that's putting it mildly. OK he's an asshole and probably doubtful Steve Martin and Martin Short want to work with him again. Plus Chevy wore out his welcome on Community. Would be nice to see happen but unlikely to happen. 

Rick Moranis: He did four movies with Steve Martin and was a part of the SCTV cast like Martin Short, unsure if Rick and Martin Short were in the same cast together. It would be nice to see there. However, he's been limited since 1997 after taking a hiatus to being a single dad to his two kids. However, there are rumors he doing another Honey, I Shrunk the Kids movie so an appearance on the show could help promote the movie. Even if the movie doesn't happen, why not have Rick play a fictionalized version of himself like Matthew Broderick did in Season 3? Living in the Arconia (the apartment complex).

Eugene Levy and/or Catherine O'Hara: Speaking of SCTV, Eugene Levy worked with both Steve Martin and Martin Short and Catherine O'Hara also was a part of the SCTV cast. It would be awesome if one of them appears let alone both of them together. As for a Schitt Creek's reunion, likely since both of them have connections to Levy and O'Hara and I'm sure Dan Levy knows both Steve Martin and Martin Short. Would Annie Murphy be available? Also, what's Dave Thomas and Joe Flaherty doing?

Scott Bakula: No connections to either of the two old guys in the cast but he has been mentioned a few times in the show and in the show is dating Joy the makeup artist who was engaged to Steve Martin's character. Why Not him and Charles Haden Savage (Steve Martin) appear together and fight over Joy? 

Diane Keaton: She played Steve Martin's wife in the Father of the Bride movies. I can see her play an actress who was the love interest of Brazzos. In the show, Steve Martin plays an actor who starred in a TV crime show Brazzos which got a reboot and at last check was on hiatus because a producer was caught in some Me Tooish stuff.        

Taylor Swift: Figured why not since she's besties with Selena Gomez and Taylor has some acting credits. I would also make a case for her boyfriend Travis Kelce, why not an athlete to appear plus his outfit that Kelce was wearing when Kelce and Swift left together reminded me of tie-dye guy (Mabel's friend Oscar from the first season of the show). Also I'm throw in Michael Strahan to be on the show because why not?

Queen Latifah: Steve Martin's co-star from Bringing Down the House however she has her own show "The Equalizer". Probably a one-time appearance but who knows. Would be interesting. 

Antonio Banderas and Ken Jeong: No reasoning behind this other than they would be interesting to see on the show. Unsure if Ken Jeong would be able to do it since he's the judge of The Masked Singer though I'm sure Fox can have someone fill in for Ken for a bit. Nicey Nash filled in for Nick Cannon while he was a contestant on the show he usually hosts. Nash and Cannon would also be good candidates to be on Only Murders in the Building.    

Tim Allen: Did a few things with Martin Short so why not? 

People I want to see again: Matthew Broderick and Nathan Lane, I want to see the Producers co-host do an episode together. Also, would Sarah Jessica Parker be interested in the show?

Aaron Dominguez aka Oscar aka Tie-Dye Guy. I would like to see what the character has been up to after the first season. 

There's my suggestions for guest-stars, recurring stars, or stars of future seasons of Only Murders in the Buildings. I hope the casting directors look at this.
