"Of course, the Cheese Man. Uh, again, the Cheese Man: meaningless. Why? Because I needed something in the show that just doesn't make any sense all. In this case, it was the Cheese Man. He confounds everybody because of that and people ascribing meaning. This to me means we're being successful, um, because this means they're not worried about everything else, which means they sort of did understand most things."

Hi everyone. I was watching the episode 'Restless', the fourth season finale recently. I have seen it a million times, but I've never figiured out the significants of the 'cheese guy'. For those of you who know who I'm talking about, can you help me out? What does he signify?
