Shit My Dad Says: Twitter Got Me a Sitcom Deal

Justin Halpern’s dad says the darndest things, and tons of folks are listening — including CBS, which plans to make a television show based on the 73-year-old’s goofball musings.

Started in August, Halpern’s hilarious Shit My Dad Says Twitter feed has attracted 700,000 followers. Now CBS plans to produce a sitcom pilot based on the comic tweets, with Will & Grace creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick producing, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

After moving into his parents’ San Diego home over the summer, Halpern parlayed his father’s obscenity-laced observations into a mini-empire. He signed a Shit My Dad Says-inspired book deal with Harper Collins last month and will co-write the CBS show, which — no surprise — will be retitled if it’s picked up for a full prime-time order.

Here’s an example of the senior Halpern’s father-to-son banter: “You look just like Stephen Hawking…. Relax, I meant like a non-paralyzed version of him. Feel better? Fine. Forget I said it.”

I like his latest tweet: "Remember this: you're just a lucky fucking guy. If people start telling you your dick looks bigger, remember that it's not."


I don't think this will make a good sitcom, how's he gonna say fuck and shit on CBS?

Yeah, I can't see it being very funny if it has to fall in line with US tv's censors. Good luck to them though.

I thought all that shit was completely made up, anyway. Nobody's dad is that cool.

Hell, if monopoly can be turned into a movie, a tweet account can be made into a tv sitcom.

Maybe they'll follow through with my idea about a damp fart sitcom (lame pun intended).
