Farce of the Penguins
Bob Saget and Think Films are reuniting on "Farce of the Penguins," a comedic send-up of a similarly titled documentary that is in production with a planned release in Spring, 2006. Saget will write, direct, produce, and will perform several of the voices in this comedic adventure that will combine spectacular and heartwarming wildlife photography with an irreverent and decidedly R-rated theme and soundtrack. "The idea for this came organically," Saget says. "I was watching the "March of the Penguins" movie at my friend's house, and I couldn't stop doing the voice-overs of the penguins, reminiscent of when I did the voices of the animals on the video show." Well known by college students as the director of the cult comedy feature film "Dirty Work," and known the world over for his lengthy tours-of-duty on hit family television these past two decades, Saget received clamorous critical acclaim for his extended rendition of the off-color "The Aristocrats" joke in Paul Provenza's film of the same name. HBO has just ordered a script for an R-rated sitcom, built around Saget, that he will co-write, produce, and star in, portraying a Phoenix gynecologist raising a fourteen year-old boy.

The words "Bob Saget" and "Rated R" just don't work in my brain.
But I would see it if Lewis Black is any part of it!
When Bob Saget is not on Full House, he's a dirty guy. I guess that was one of the big Hollywood jokes when that show was on that Bob was playing this wholesome sitcom dad when he was well known for his very blue stand up.
I'm on board for any movie that give a penguin a fro.
Bob Saget claimed on live national radio to have had his way with me. :)
When Bob was on Penn Jillette's radio show I'd sent an email in about how Bob was my first celebrity sighting in Los Angeles and they read it on air and Bob said he hoped my husband wasn't listening because he remembered that day and he'd had his way with me. It was great. I hadn't laughed that hard in a while!

Holy Sitcom Starz, Batman!
What an awesome story, hellziggy, you wonton woman, you. See, Susan, Bob is a naughty, naughty boy!
To be fair, I did call him a filthy-mouthed rat bastard in the beginning of the email...
My LJ post with a link to the mp3 is here: http://hellziggy.livejournal.com/409155.html
You should listen to the whole show because it's pretty funny. Also, they talk about the penguin movie.
