The actress, who played Janet in The Good Place, made yet another cameo in one of her costars' projects — this time, with Ted Danson in A Man on the Inside.
The new Netflix series, which premiered on Nov. 21 and is created/executive produced by Good Place showrunner Michael Schur, stars Danson, 76, as Charles, a retired professor who lost his wife and discovers a new hobby as a private investigator's assistant, infiltrating a senior living community to help solve a case.
Throughout eight episodes, the series manages to depict issues faced by seniors with spritely humor and dignity. And in the final episode, Carden, 44, appears as Professor Della Denunzio, who welcomes Charles into her class to deliver a guest lecture.

Ted Danson as Michael, D'Arcy Carden as Janet in 'The Good Place'Her cameo comes shortly after her last appearance in fellow Good Place costar, Kristen Bell's project, Nobody Wants This. The Netflix romcom series, which premiered on Sept. 26, follows sex podcaster Joanne (Bell), who develops a relationship with newly single rabbi Noah (Adam Brody). The couple comes under fire, with naysayers claiming it won't work out between them.
In Nobody Wants This, Carden plays Ryann, one of Joanne's friends who supports her new relationship with Noah.
Fellow Good Place actors Emily Arlook, Jackie Tohn and Leslie Grossman also appeared alongside Bell and Carden in Nobody Wants This. Arlook, 34, plays Rebecca, Noah's ex-girlfriend; Tohn, 44, plays Esther Roklov, the wife of Sasha Roklov (Noah's brother) who isn't too fond of Joanne's new romance with Noah; and Grossman, 52, plays Rabbi Shira.

Danson had high praise for Bell, who played deceased pharmaceutical saleswoman Eleanor Shellstrop on The Good Place — a role that earned her a Golden Globes nomination in 2019.
"I adore her and she adores me, but she's also the most adorable human being on the planet," Danson told PEOPLE. "There's no one who doesn't adore Kristen Bell. Really, truly."
"Did you see her latest show?" he continued. "I have to cover my eyes and say, 'No, no, no. Don't fall in love with him!' She's marvelous. They [Bell and Carden] both are."

The Good Place ran for four seasons from 2016 to 2020, tackling topics like the afterlife, and earning 14 Emmy nominations in the process, including three nods for Danson as afterlife architect Michael for outstanding lead actor in a comedy series.
With A Man on the Inside, Danson said he was finding joy in being able to "use my age and what I'm going through in life and explore that."
"What is it like to be 76 and be funny, trying to be funny? What does that feel like? Oh my God, [the] greatest joy is to be funny possibly in every possible way I can," he told PEOPLE at the premiere. "You can still do anything even at our age, and one of the things you have to teach them is how to die, and how to live right up until you do. Don't call it quits, don't wind down, keep going. The world needs you. So that to me is one of the great messages of this piece. It's something that I hope for myself."
