Jason Segel (How I Met Your Mother) and Ed Helms (The Office) are joining the Duplass Brothers’ stoner comedy Jeff Who Lives At Home. Helms most recently made the successful jump from the small screen to the big screen in last Summer’s hit comedy The Hangover while Segel starred in I Love You, Man as well as the Judd Apatow comedies Knocked Up and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.

The Duplass Brothers’ directed the indie thriller Baghead and  soon to be released Cyrus starring John C. Reilly, Jonah Hill and Academy Award winner Marisa Tomei. Jeff Who Lives At Home is being produced byJohn Malkovich’s company Mr. Mudd and Jason Reitman’s Right of Way Films. I believe in jinxes but I also believe this movie can’t miss. Since we’re talking about the Duplass Brothers and television actors I have to say that The League on FX starring Mark Duplass is in my opinion one of the great new sitcoms joining the likes of Modern Family, Glee and Community.

What say you?

FX has become renowned for its ability to produce hit show after hit show over the past few years.  Within the next year however, audiences will have to bid farewell to long running favorites, Nip/Tuck and Rescue Me.

In the wake of this loss FX has recently approved an astounding six out of six pilots that were recently screened by the network.  These newcomers include The League, a comedy about Fantasy Football enthusiasts who sometimes take things a bit too far, and Archer, an animated series centering on a hardheaded secret agent with mother issues.

With this continued growth FX is becoming an increasingly more competitive network and has its sights set on continuing to do so.  News Corp., FX’s parent company reported an $812 million profit projection for this year from FX and expects that to grow to around $80 million over the next two years.
