‘I Love You, America’ production design an ‘investigation and appreciation of America’

Another zone in the space features dormer-style windows surrounded by the starscape wallpaper and an oversized video wall that primarily displays an image of a white and red exit signs arranged in a familiar alternating stripe pattern.

By intersecting part of that video wall with an angled roofline finished in the starry wallpaper, the elements come together to form a unique interpretation of the American flag.

“I was struck by how for granted we take that sign that is everywhere,” Connelly said, and he decided it would make a perfect way to build a familiar pattern out of an unexpected material.

This area also features a more traditional, rounded late-night host desk, complete with an old-fashioned microphone, and is used primarily by “Mathers,” a sort of caricature of the typical late-night host that was originally only slated to appear on the first episode, but ended up making its way into other episodes as Silverman’s sidekick.

Mathers’ first appearance, incidentally, was “in bed” with Silverman. Though the bed is normally folded up into the wall, the pair snuggled up in the Murphy bed built into the wall of the contemporary area with window seat during the first episode.
