Wilmer Valderrama has always had a need to make people laugh
Wilmer Valderrama doesn't necessarily get a ton to do to flex his funny bone on "NCIS," but he did recently star in the rebooted "That '90s Show" for Netflix. He reprised his role of Fez in a few episodes, filling in audiences for what the character has been up to all of these years later. It gave him a chance to show that he still had comedic chops after spending quite a bit of time mostly dealing with dead bodies on "NCIS."
But Valderrama holds a special place in his heart for "That '70s Show" and being able just to let loose with his silly side. Back in 2019, the actor sat down with People (https://people.com/tv/wilmer-valderrama-reveals-that-70s-show-cast-have-discussed-a-follow-up-movie/) to discuss his career, and a sizable chunk of that went toward his sitcom days on "That '70s Show." He says, "I really miss doing comedy. I miss being just flat-out an idiot on television, like I really miss coming up with weird-a** s*** to do."
Of course, it sounds like he's enjoyed his time on "NCIS" and working on dramas, but comedies are definitely still something he's interested in. He went on to say, "Once you have a taste of making people laugh, you know, once a comedian it's always in you." Since "That '90s Show" has been renewed for a second season (https://www.looper.com/1188159/netflix-renews-that-90s-show-for-season-2-what-that-teaches-us-about-refreshing-old-franchises/), hopefully, Valderrama gets a chance to come back and relive the wacky persona that is Fez.
