Corddry is Becoming Glen
February 10, 2006 Comments
Rob Corddry, best known as a correspondent on The Daily Show, has scored the lead in a new pilot being developed at Fox:
"Becoming Glen," from 20th Century Fox TV, Ricky Blitt and Seth MacFarlane, centers on a successful fortysomething man who looks back at 1994, when he was a 32-year-old slacker (Corddry) living with his parents and spending all his time lying on the couch watching TV.
Corddry is often one of the best parts of The Daily Show, and his appearance on Curb Your Enthusiasm was some of the funniest stuff of the season. Giving him a show is one of the few television decisions I approve of. Then again, I probably wouldn't have given a small group of puppies* a show--an event dubbed "Puppy Bowl"-- though Animal Planet seemed to fair pretty well with it. So what do I know about television programming?
*During half-time it was kittens. Seriously.
