Shit My Dad Says To Be Made Into A Sitcom
Twitter sensation ‘Shit My Dad Says’ is headed to television!
CBS has picked up a comedy project based on the Twitter account, which has enlisted more than 700,000 followers since launching in August and has made its creator, Justin Halpern, an Internet star. I follow this page myself on Twitter and have to say it kills me how scarily accurate and funny it is.
“Will & Grace” creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick are on board to executive produce and supervise the writing for the multicamera family comedy, which Halpern will co-pen with Patrick Schumacker. Halpern and Schumacker will also co-exec produce the Warner Bros. TV-produced project, which has received a script commitment. Nice to see the originator getting involved and getting some recognition.
In a pretty cool story for losers like me, Halpern, 29, had moved back in with his parents in San Diego, and on Aug. 3 he launched “Shit My Dad Says,” a Twitter feed featuring comments and pearls of wisdom made by his 73-year-old father during their daily conversations.
Some examples:
“Sometimes life leaves a hundred-dollar bill on your dresser, and you don’t realize until later that it’s because it fucked you”;
“Why the fuck would I want to live to 100? I’m 73 and shit’s starting to get boring. By the way, there’s no money left when I go, just fyi”;
“The baby will talk when he talks, relax. It ain’t like he knows the cure for cancer and he just ain’t spitting it out.”
Halpern, also sold “Shit My Dad Says” as a book to Harper Collins last month, good on the guy – gives me hope!
