Corddry is The Donor
Filed under: Comedy, Casting, Paramount, Scripts, DIY/Filmmaking, Newsstand
After watching one of his fake news anchors jump ship and board an express train to super-stardom, Jon Stewart is making sure no one else loses their virginity without a little involvement on the part of The Daily Show host.
Paramount Pictures has picked up The Donor, with intentions to develop it as a starring vehicle for Daily Show correspondent Rob Corddry. The deal came based off a comedy pitch by Stewart, Ben Karlin and Corddry, with Jason Mantzoukas, Brian Huskey and Corddry set to pen the script. Currently, the premise is being kept under wraps though, based on the title, I imagine it will revolve around some sort of donor. Oh, and it will probably be funny. Pic will mark the first feature film project for Stewart's Busboy Productions (The Daily Show, The Colbert Report); he'll be producing alongside Karlin.

My only information is coming from this article but my money's on Corddry playing a geek who donated sperm a long time ago and now gets saddled with the kid, maybe because he's a Bill Gates-style rich geek. The twist: Corddry's never had sex with a woman before.

TDS better start working on its bench, with all its star players moving on to other things. Its remaining talent pool is not that deep or seasoned at the moment.
