Jon Heder, who has done basically nothing since criminally overrated "Napoleon Dynamite" has apparently landed a deal to star in a ten-episode series on Comedy Central about a nerd. What range. The details:
"Napoleon Dynamite" star Jon Heder has landed a sitcom deal at Comedy Central.My how the not mighty have remained completely stationary in... not mighty-tude... Don't ask me what the title of this show is, since apparently it doesn't have one. Since there is nothing funny about Jon Heder, and there is nothing inherently funny about an out of work nerd living with his parents, I can probably safely take a pass on this show. If I want to experience the magic of a loser who hangs out in a basement and plays video games, I have my own life.The network has ordered 10 episodes of a new scripted comedy starring Heder as an out of work computer IT specialist who returns to his small home town and moves back in with his parents and younger brother.
The project is from Gary Sanchez Productions and Debmar-Mercury.
[Ed.- He failed to mention the show is being produced and written by Chris Henchy (HBO's Eastbound and Down), Adam McKay (Anchorman, Stepbrothers), and Will Ferrell (Saturday Night Live and I think that's it). Heder doesn't exactly light my fire either, but those other guys are like Zippos. -Mike]
