Saturday Night Live Alum Jim Breuer Gets Show About His Life After SNL
What Happens After SNL? Jim Breuer's Sitcom Will Tell You
Post-Saturday Night Live, some people go on and have a wildly successful career (Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler) . . . but plenty more just kind of seem to fade away. Sometimes the fade is inexplicable because the star was so popular while on the show (Chris Kattan, Cheri Oteri). I've always wondered what happens in that post show world, and a new show is about to divulge exactly that: Jim Breuer has just scored a deal with NBC for a sitcom that will focus on his life after his stint on SNL.
Breuer — whose goat character I liked but whose performance in Half Baked is really why I have a soft spot for him — apparently spent the years after the show raising his three daughters and taking care of his elderly parents. The show will focus on that, and the humor therein (a relief: I don't know how many sad goat-boy stand-ups I could take).
Would you watch this show? I'm intrigued, I admit. And note to Michaela Watkins and Casey Wilson: buck up! Maybe one day NBC will have a sitcom deal for you too.
