Another Just For Laughs Show that I’ll be a (minor) part of:

“For one night only, the never-produced Super Fans movie will come to life as performers from the legendary SNL sketch and Mike Ditka reunite for a live reading of the 1995 script written by Bob Odenkirk and Robert Smigel. The epic script, both a freewheeling examination of the Chicago sports fanatics and an absurd satire of big money’s influence on sports, will highlight the charity event for Have Dreams: Helping Autistic Voices Emerge and the Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund, along with several Super Fan sketches and a Q&A with Da Coach himself. Odenkirk and Smigel will be joined by original Super Fans George Wendt and Joe Mantegna, along with several surprise guests.”

The Visitors Locker Room, namely CJ Sullivan and myself, will be contributing writers (along with VLR regular guest Prescott Tolk!) for some of the sketches before / after the script reading.

…I’m very excited to have Mike Ditka leap frog my great uncle as the most successful person to ever repeat one of my jokes (my great uncle won $10,000 grand in a settlement against a grocery store that didn’t have its frozen food aisle properly maintained… …that made him, up until next Friday, the most successful man I know).
