Default Bill Burr getting his own TV show?
Just a pilot episode right now but sounds like the perfect role for him.

Quote:
Former Breaking Bad co-star Bill Burr didn’t have a meltdown on Conan last night, but he did ruffle a few feathers with his politically incorrect stance on the NFL’s breast cancer awareness effort and other topics pertaining to the league’s recent cornucopia of controversies. As a mostly filter-free comedian and a podcast host Burr pushes people’s buttons all the time and in his new FX pilot from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia producers John and Dave Chernin, he’s going to play a celebrity who goes too far.

Pariah centers on volatile TV personality Joe Abbott (Burr) who, after an on-air meltdown, is exiled from show business and forced to navigate society as a man with no apparent skills.

Burr actually has some acting chops. He's worked hard for many years. I hope this is a success.

He was just saying he didn't want a slow because of all the pressure and freedom he loses with it.

I guess his house has become a pricier fix than expected.

Can't wait to see it.

For those interested he was on Joe Rogan's podcast this week promoting his Netflix special. Good commute listening.

New special is fantastic.

And, on the thread topic, as anyone that listens to his podcast know he also has ANOTHER show coming out next winter called F is for Family. Animated comedy. Not sure if hes in it as well or just writing and producing.

Haha, Breaking Bad "co-star". That's quite a stretch.
