What a flippin' bummer, gosh.
Just two days before production on his still-untitled Will Ferrell-produced Comedy Central sitcom was set to begin, Jon Heder has abruptly dropped out, blaming those pesky creative differences.
Let us guess: Heder wanted more Tater Tot consumption, and Ferrell wanted more scenes of middle-aged guys running around with their shirts off? Call it a hunch.
"Comedy Central, Gary Sanchez Productions and Jon Heder have mutually decided to part ways over creative differences with the character," Team Heder said in a statement.
Heder had been cast as a financial whiz kid who loses his job and is forced to move back in with his small-town parents. The sitcom's future remains unclear, though Comedy Central had placed an initial 10-episode order on the show, which costars former Saturday Night Live cohorts Chris Parnell and Horatio Sanz.
Geez. You stick a guy in one flamboyant spandex peacock suit and this is the thanks you get?
