Ker appeared on the show to promote the third season of the documentary Welcome to Wrexham, the first two episodes of which were released on Disney+ on 2 May.
It documents the 2023-24 campaign, which saw Wrexham finish second in League Two to seal back-to-back promotions.
Interviewed by hosts Simon Rimmer and Tim Lovejoy, Ker told how he got involved with the club, having worked with co-owner Rob McElhenney as a writer on Mythic Quest.

“I introduced Rob to football during lockdown and encouraged him to watch (the documentary) ‘Sunderland Til I Die’,” Ker said.
“He then texted me: ‘We should buy a football team!’
“In 2019-20, when the season was shortened by COVID, there was an average (attendance) of about 4,500 people per week in the National League.
“It’s a huge number, bigger than a lot of League Two teams get, so we knew there was a huge fan base there.
“The fans saved the club and kept it alive despite a very difficult time.
“Ryan (Reynolds) then got involved because Rob asked him if he wanted to sponsor Wrexham. He said, “I don’t want to be a sponsor, I want to be a co-owner with you.”
“Documentary is huge in America. I was at the Chicago airport a few weeks ago, and two or three people came up to me, and someone tagged me in the most unflattering photo in the world!”

Earlier in the show, Lovejoy apologized after Ker swore during his introduction, after being asked about the team heading to Las Vegas for a celebration party following their promotion to League One.
Lovejoy asked Ker if they paid for the trip themselves, to which he replied yes, joking that they would have a hard time claiming it through expenses as “p** s-up giant”.
“I apologize if anyone is offended by Humphrey’s mouthiness,” Lovejoy added.
