Wait so they just yoinked a character from a completely different show and shoved him into L&O?

I had to look this up and apparently the character Munch is in:

Law & Order
The X-Files
The Beat
A Very Brady Sequel
Law & Order: Trial by Jury
Arrested Development
The Wire
30 Rock
Sesame Street
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

yea munch was featured in some crossover between homicide and the original law & order, so when homicide got canceled in 99 they offered richard belzer a spot as munch on svu since it was in the works at the time and he was already in universe
