As an [[ActorAllusion allusion]] to his role in ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'', his first line in the series will be "Hello, James" and he'll say he regrets not having tried it with any of the kids he used to scare before becoming an executive.

[[WMG: Joy will become to Tylor what Randall was to Sulley in their scare days]]
Tylor will be conviced to work for Fear Co. and inmediately ascend to be the Top Scarer of his plant floor, making the female lizard scarer become the second best, just like another lizard monster we know.
Judging from the Season 2 poster, she is NOT happy about Tylor joining them and would secretely try to convince him to return to Monsters Inc. and be a jokester or sabotage him using other ways.

[[WMG: Duncan wrote the report on the kid Val got laughs from in "Opening Doors".]]
When she read the report, it had so little she asked who wrote it. Duncan was in charge of writing it and, knowing the kid was assigned to someone he hates, he intentionally wrote little about the kid to sabotage Tylor's performance.

While it's probable that even screams of delight won't be as powerful as laughter itself, they still would serve as a secondary source of energy and it would be a way to utilize monsters who have a talent for scaring but none in comedy/the position of Jokester in the new era.

As pointed out on PlotHole segment on the main page, there are other companies aside from Monsters Inc., such as Fear Co. and Scream Industries, that will still use Scream Energy whilst Monsters Inc. is in the process of switching to Laugh Energy, yet Tylor never once considers applying elsewhere to put his learned skills to use in an environment that can still support scaring as a viable job, even if it is going to be eventually drummed out by laugh energy once the idea catches on. That, and the fact that Tylor was basically scouted by Monsters Inc straight out of graduation, implies that Tylor had planned to join Monsters inc as his preferred job whilst still in university, perhaps for reasons beyond it being the top job to have in the current energy crisis whilst he was still in training. It's possible that Tylor's family might have worked there or something similar, and he wants to join the company to live up to the legacy in whatever capacity he can, which is why he's willing to join MIFT and train to be a Jokester, rather than looking elsewhere to apply his skills in scaring.

[[WMG:If there are more seasons beyond the first one, it'll involve Tylor rising up the ranks of Monsters Inc. until he becomes a Jokester]]

[[WMG:Fritz, like Val, has a more [[IJustWantToHaveFriends tragic reason behind his clinginess and overenthusiasm]], earning Tylor’s more sincere sympathy]]
In one episode, Tylor will learn more about Frizt’s personal life, discovering that he’s actually a lonely old guy who lives by himself and doesn’t have any friends or immediate family outside the factory. His MIFT colleagues are the closest thing he has to loved ones, so he becomes attached to all of them and is deeply saddened when they’re promoted and move on (he particularly bonds with fellow lonely monsters, like Val). Fritz’s work with MIFT is the only time he gets to properly interact with others, and he spends most of his nights sitting alone at home and waiting to see them again in the morning.

If he was banished for learning about the Scream Extractor plans, It doesn't make sense why he didn't tell Mike & Sulley about that in the movie. Unless, he didn't know what was happening. Perhaps Waternoose made it look like he was giving him a new home. (and given he actually likes his hideout, it isn't hard to see why he hasn't questioned it) By the time he would know the truth about what happened, Monsters Inc went under new management after Waternoose's arrest.

He gets to Duncan with his similar envious behavior and also tries to convince Tylor that he could be the greatest scarer of all time. But Tylor refuses and Duncan [[EveryoneHasStandards ultimately stops him]]. Then, in a scene mirroring his first defeat, Duncan and Tylor will end up throwing Randall into another door.
