Justin Timberlake to Star as Game Show Host Doubling as CIA Assassin in Upcoming Apple TV+ Series

Sam Rockwell was pretty good as Barris in "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind".
I can't quite picture Timberlake playing Chuck.

This was such a hilarious show. I watched it as a kid and thought it was great. As an adult it's totally crazy. Everyone was drunk, high, or both.

Anyway, unless the show was doing a lot of location shots his story would have been impossible. Plus Chuck looked like he was blitzed most of the time, which is probably why the gong was so damn big - it's hard to miss a gong that big. Drunk assassins probably don't last real long in real life.

I watched it also and loved it, I was probably 8, 9 and it was hysterical...total chaos.
My mom and dad HATED the show and especially Chuck. My dad would always say "Oh, there's something wrong with this guy, high on coke!"

Of course I'm thinking he drank too much Coke-Cola? 😆

Netflix is the worst at making remakes.

Or the Unknown Comic!
Classic

Went to a comedy show in Vegas a few years ago and Murray Langston was there in the audience. He stood around after the show and we got to shake hands and tell him how appreciative we were of his comedy. He was a real nice guy.

"Confessions of a Dangerous Mind,"

I loved the movie, so to watch a television series explore it even further would be great fun.
Justin Timberlake may not be Sam Rockwell, but give him time. He's done a lot of great work so far.

Spencer for Hire wasn't too bad. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I loved that show. Barris was a riot. The book was nutso!

Yup it was. Looking forward to this. Be curious if they play it seriously or for laughs.

But we there be a cameo from Gene Gene the Dancing Machine?

Unfortunately Gene died in 2015

Not interested. He’s garbage.

Who is gonna play Jaye P. Morgan?

 

[DocMultimedia]

I'm willing to bet the majority of people on these forums never used to watch the show. I still laugh thinking about it. Looking forward to this one. I'm an old guy.

There was another book I wish they woulds do something different. The first movie was great.

This would have been a good idea 20 years ago. Unfortunately, we’ve already seen it.

How about a fresh, new idea? Something that will get people talking.
