The fact that you have a face built for radio and are untalented and obscure never entered into the decision
According to Drudge (yeah, I know):
Los Angeles-based talkradio sensation Phil Hendrie Thursday night charged that his passionate pro-war views may cost him a TV sitcom that has been in development at NBC.
Hendrie announced on his nationally-syndicated show that his war stand could result in a liberal Hollywood backlash against him and his current TV pitch.
"We did the pilot last week," Hendrie revealed. "Listen, everyone at NBC was great. From top to bottom. It has been a dream. But I am on the air everyday. I feel vulnerable expressing my pro-war point of view... Someone could ring up someone and say, 'Well, we're not going to do business with you.'"
"I am thinking outloud. Listen. Nobody at NBC has never said to me, don't express your political opinions. But if Janeane Garofalo is saying she is paying the price and not getting work [at ABC] for her anti-war views, it is just as valid for me to say what I am saying. And the anti-war point of view is much more popular in the entertainment industry."
Bear in mind, Hendrie hasn't actually been told his pilot wouldn't get picked up, regardless of his war views. Just that it might not be picked up. And you have to wonder what network wouldn't jump at hilarious hijinks like this:
Scribe Peter Tolan ("Analyze That") has been tapped to create an NBC sitcom vehicle for syndicated radio personality Phil Hendrie.
Tolan will pen the project, which stars Hendrie as a former city cop who moves to a gated community, where he encounters the crazy residents as its new head of security.
"The idea is essentially that we're creating for the TV viewing audience a slice of the new hyper America," Hendrie said. "In this post 9/11 era the world has changed. The new need is for absolute freedom and quality of life and absolute security."
Hendrie, who's known for creating and voicing wild characters on his KFI-based nighttime talker "The Phil Hendrie Show" pacted with the Peacock and NBC Studios earlier this year to build a primetime series. Separately, Tolan had landed a pilot script commitment at NBC.
Show will focus on Hendrie's character, who has recently remarried a woman with a sketchy past and a 14-year-old kid. Besides Hendrie's encounters with the weird local folk, the project will also revolve around his attempts at trying to forge a new family.
And let's not forget Hendrie's Hollywood good looks. And he's a fine figure of a man too.
And don't miss out on his droll and witty takes on world events. My favorites are:
Pizza Hut, France
Another Frog business to boycott
McDonald's France
See, the Frogs eat this slop too so screw them.

Stop...stop...you're killing me......I'm in the throes of a good old-fashioned Glenn Reynolds: "heh".
