STUPID LIFE
Previously announced as A Bad Idea I’m About to Do, this show’s script is based on comedian Chris Gethard’s (The Chris Gethard Show, The Other Guys, This American Life) recent autobiographical book of the same name. Tom Scharpling (The Best Show on WFMU, Monk) is series executive producer and co-creator. Gethard and Scharpling are co-writing the pilot script.
"Alright, well, for the sake of this conversation, let's say the book does not exist."

Wow, that is awesome news.  That book was very good, surprisingly touching and of course very funny.

That is so cool.  It really is a great book, I think I read the whole thing in a couple of marathon sittings.

Congrats, Tommy and Chris!
