Sick of all the movie fame, John Krasinski slinked back to television for a spell. He went directly to Fox, who wanted the actor/writer/director's latest creative endeavor. Variety says it's called My Bad Parent and comes from Family Guy guy Alex Carter. If it sounds familiar, the show comes from a book and blog of the same name but will follow "a blue-collar, loving-but-imperfect family with a point of view that alternates between the blunt working mother and her pubescent son."
John Krasinski and Stephen Merchant open up 'Dream Corp, LLC' on Adult Swim
After the singing success of the Tonight Show game turned Spike series Lip Sync Battle, Office alum Stephen Merchant and John Krasinski are doing more or less the same work they're known for over at Adult Swim. The two have co-producing a new series title Dream Corp, LLC a show about “an absurd workplace comedy set in a neglected dream therapy facility.” They jsut can't seem to escape office space. The show is created by Daniel Stessen. Dream Corp, LLC will feature a shifting cast of patients who “have their dreams recorded and analyzed by Dream Corp’s absent-minded professor, Dr. Roberts (Jon Gries), and his team of unremarkable scientists.”
That 'Lip Sync Battle' Show you wanted so bad now has a trailer
Lip Sync Battle is a popular sketch competition on The Tonight Show. Lip Sync Battle is a television show based on the popular sketch competition from The Tonight Show. LSB is hosted by LL Cool J for some reason. And Jimmy Fallon, John Krasinski, and Stephen Merchant are producing. Other famous people (like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Anna Kendrick, John Legend and more for some reason) will be performing - sorry, lip syncing - to popular songs. On April 2, Spike will air that show. Got it? Good. I really don't want to go over this again.
