Matt LeBlanc May Have A Career Again

Filed under: TV News > Anglophilia

This actually sounds pretty promising!

Showtime and the BBC have teamed up to produce a new comedy created by Mad About You's Jeffrey Klarik and Friends' David Crane.

The premise of EPISODES is that a British couple with a hit show in the UK are commissioned by Hollywood producers to create a new dumbed-down version for an American audience starring Matt LeBlanc, who will be playing himself in the show!

LeBlanc says: "Jeffrey and David have a great idea — I love it. I am really excited to be working with Showtime and the BBC. And I am so glad I got the part, seeing someone else play Matt LeBlanc would have been devastating.”

The first six episodes are set to shoot this winter in London and Hollywood with the show premiering in 2010 on the Showtime network and on BBC Two.

We think this could be a hit!

    that's a great concept for a show in my opinion having seen numerous hilarious British shows get watered down for American audiences. Why do they do that?? Hopefully that won't happen to Skins. I don't think it will since it's on MTV

    I'm sorry Matt, but may I politely ask just what in the flying fuckery is going on with that hairdo?

    It looks like it was cut by a blind toddler using plastic kiddie scissors.

    You have forever ruined my perfect fantasy vision of Joey!!! Damn you to hellll

    I'm looking forward to this (boy is his hair bugging me)



  23. 23

    Love him! Hope it works out for him!



  24. 24

    You know it sounds like it just my fly.



  25. 25

    Not to be rude, but I am offended at your comment that they needed to dumb down the show for American audiences.

    Other than that, I am excited to if Mr. LeBlanc still has it. :-) I loved him in Friends, but never took the time to check out anything else he has been in.



  26. 26

    Re: twisted79 – Maybe I mis-read the premise of the show. The show will be about someone making a show which stars Mr. LeBlanc?



  27. 27

    lol sounds like a good show.
    the less said about the upcoming american version of skins the better……



  28. 28

    Matt LeBlanc is so totally awesome!!! In my opinion he was the BEST character in friends… i think hes hilarious and this show could be a real hit.

    Dumed-down? Hey Perez, go fuck yourself
