Cameo in a Phil Hendrie cartoon

Apparently, Adam had a cameo in the pilot of an animated show starring talk show host Phil Hendrie. The show didn't get picked up, but I thought this was interesting nevertheless.(http://www.laweekly.com/ink/04/29/features-cullum.php)


"Which is why hopes were so high for Phil Hendrie, a Fox animated pilot, totally improvised, that almost made it into the network’s 2004 fall lineup. Hendrie was set to play a radio talk-show host raising three kids in a gated community and commuting to work in the city, an urban nightmare. For the voices of his family, the producer and showrunner Steve Levitan (the creator of Just Shoot Me and a staff writer on the short-lived Greg the Bunny) scoured L.A.’s improv community: Amy Yasbeck, John Ritter’s widow and a Wings alumnus, as his wife; comedian Sarah Silverman as daughter Courtney — “trouble on a stick” — who was going to be dating a 35-year-old guy who lives at the marina; Nat Faxon of the Groundlings as Hendrie’s oldest son, Dwayne; and Neil Flynn, the janitor on Scrubs, as youngest son Bunker, a 6-year-old coffee drinker and dark intellectual. Adam Corolla had a cameo as Yasbeck’s ex-husband. Hendrie voiced all the other characters, including many of those from his standing repertory on radio (and would have retained the rights to all his characters). A new animation process to be used by Chris Miller and Phil Lord, the guys behind MTV’s aborted series Clone High, was supposed to allow faster rendering and greater flexibility, and there were plans to incorporate actual calls from the radio show."

Sounds like a trainwreck.

I only know Phil Hendrie because Adam makes fun of him and his listeners from time to time. I'm not going to watch his cartoon!

I tried to like Phil Hendrie for a while, but I really couldn't get into him. He strings along one idea for a really long time, that usually isn't that funny. He is very talented with the voices though.

When Phil Handrie is good, hes really good, and when hes bad he just kind of Bombs.

I really just can't stand him when he trys to be a regular talk radio host and, and like, gives his retarded opinions -- as opposed to his fake retarded political opinions.

The main reason the Phil Hendrie Show went bad was because after 9/11 he turned Republican and now does hours of horrible political talk. Bad
