Yahoo Lifestyle A Man on the Inside’s Top-Secret Kristen Bell Cameo Confirmed — Did You Spot ‘Eleanor’ in Finale?
It’s time to give thanks to D’Arcy Carden for confirming a major Man on the Inside cameo.
“Another mystery solved,” Carden, who played Janet on The Good Place, shared on Instagram, along with a group photo revealing that Kristen Bell did, in fact, make an uncredited guest appearance in Episode 8.

In A Man on the Inside’s Season 1 finale, eagle-eyed viewers noticed a woman leaving Charles’ lecture that looked an awful lot like Eleanor — and now we know it was Bell who was shot from behind. Carden’s photo shows Bell wearing the same sweater her former alter-ego, Eleanor Shellstrop, wore in The Good Place’s 2020 series finale.
Carden also made a cameo in the same scene, appearing as Professor Della Denunzio opposite former co-star Ted Danson (fka Bad Place architect Michael).
Connections between A Man on the Inside and The Good Place — they share a creator, Michael Schur, and several actors, including Marc Evan Jackson and Eugene Cordero — have prompted online speculation that they might even share a universe, but no such theory has been confirmed. The finale, and Season 1 overall, earned a reader grade of “A.”
