Could I Be Any More Excited?
Great news! I heard today that NBC is interested in doing a sitcom with me, after all!
"It turns out that Jeff Zucker is completely out of ideas," my agent said. "I hear he's going to spinoff characters from all of NBC's old successful shows. Theo from The Cosby Show. The dog from Frasier. Tina Yothers from Family Ties. He's that desperate."
He's that desperate. Are there four more beautiful words in the English language?
Anyhow, the idea is the show would be called Bings!, and it would catch up with Chandler and Monica just as their marriage is breaking up.
"People hate shows about married people," Jeff Zucker explained to me during our meeting. "They only want to see young single people on the TV."
"I don't know, Jeff," I said. "A divorce doesn't seem like the best of ideas for what's supposed to be comedy. And Courtney and I aren't so young any more."
"People hate shows about married people," Jeff replied, only a little louder this time. I think I detected a flash of panic in his eyes. "They only want to see young single people on the TV."
"But Jeff, there's lot of successful shows about married couples..."
"People hate shows about married people!" By now, he was grabbing my arm so hard he left a bruise. "They only want to see young single people on the TV."
"Look, Jeff..."
"PEOPLE HATE SHOWS ABOUT MARRIED PEOPLE! THEY ONLY WANT TO SEE YOUNG SINGLE PEOPLE ON THE TV." He started shaking violently and turning purple. This went on for another 10 minutes.
Interestingly enough, it was the most successful meeting I've ever had at NBC.

Do you suppose Jeff Zucker has a show for an old, beloved Night Court bailiff? -- R. Moll
