ATTRIBUTION-NOTE: The wedding officiant who delivers the "what if I'm God" speech is Todd (Todd Jacobson). The fandom plot does not name the officiant, but Todd is confirmed as a returning character this episode ("Returning students: Garrett and Todd return"), and Brandon (a Community expert) identified Todd as the speaker. The earlier draft wrongly guessed the Dean; corrected 2026-07-03. Any officiant attribution rests on that, not on a transcript speaker label (the springfield transcript has none).

ATTRIBUTION-NOTE: The end-tag writer names himself "Briggs Haddon" in the springfield transcript, but the episode's credited writer per Wikipedia is Briggs Hatton, played by an actor (Matt Gourley). Review uses "Hatton".
