P. Diddy played Dr. Jinx in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

P. Diddy appeared in season 8 of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, where he played the role of Dr. Jinx. In the episode Charlie's Mom Has Cancer, Mac recommends to Charlie that he knows a doctor who can help cure his mom's cancer, leading them to meet Dr. Jinx, who has an office inside a garage and spends most of his time watering plants in there.

While the group is initially skeptical of Dr. Jinx being a doctor, they eventually end up believing him after he sprays Mac's rash with something that ends up curing it. Dennis then asks Jinx if he can bring back his feelings too, which prompts him to play bass, but then the group ends up going back to thinking that the doctor is a scam. However, this leads to the gang planning a scam of their own using Charlie's mom.

They decide to throw a beef and beer fundraiser to get donations from those who sympathize with Charlie's mom so that they can keep the money for themselves. They also enlist Jinx to perform music at the event. However, Charlie's mom eventually reveals that she actually doesn't have cancer and is only trying to get away from the fact that she broke the statue of the Virgin Mary.

At this point, Dr. Jinx also reveals that he isn't a real doctor, but just a church gardener. When questioned about how he was able to cure Mac's rash, he reveals that he sprayed Mac with pesticide and advises him to get it checked by a real doctor. Interestingly, this isn't the only connection It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia has with P. Diddy.

When the recent allegations against the rapper surfaced, fans remembered a specific reference to Sean Combs in the third episode of season 6, titled The Gang Buys a Boat. In the episode, Dennis, Charlie, and Max try to buy a boat so that they can throw some "P. Diddy-style parties up on the deck."
