Watch out Fox, Patton Oswalt is coming for you. The comedian has already taken on CBS, FX and even Adult Swim. Now, EW reports that the Ratatouille star is tapped to join the always working Judy Greer in an upcoming pilot. Oswalt will be playing Sam, a new CEO that lives his life on a different level, especially on his ideas that seem to out of sorts for the small town plastics plant he works at. There's no telling if this will affect his narrating duties over on ABC's The Goldbergs (probably not). Greer's character is the head of human resources at the plastics plant who has to contend with her underlings and Oswalt's CEO. The new series is still yet to be titled and comes from Red Oaks' Laura Steinel while The League's Jeff Schaffer will direct.
