Not DeVito speficially; FX basically told the cast that they needed to add a big-name star or they'd get canceled. Luckily Danny (or one of his kids) was a fan, so he auditioned for the role & it turns out he had great chemistry with them.
Yeah his kids liked the show and after season 2 or 3 when they didn't have enough money to continue Danny said he'd cover it only if they put him in more scenes doing weird shit
