It will also have many interesting guest stars, like, Sebastian Stan as Clay Appuzzo, a funny and charming on-the-rise comedian; Dylan Baker as Johnny Carson; Robert Forster as Guy Appuzzo, the father of Clay; Cathy Moriarty as Angie Appuzzo, Clay's mother; Alfred Molina as Carl Veisor, a mediocre talent manager; just to name a few...
Jim Carrey is one of the executive producers of the show and has been working really hard on this project, even taking the actors to comedy clubs to help them research their roles.
There's no premiere date released yet although we know it will be announched in January by Showtime when they present their lineup for the year.
We at JCO are so excited for this TV series since it's a subject not yet explored in the current TV drama and TV comedy, we can see now on screen. We'll keep you updated as more news come.
