William Shatner Lands Role in Comedy Based on Twitter Stream

Posted on February 21, 2010

Hollywood Reporter says William Shatner has landed the starring role in a comedy based on the Twitter account, @shitmydadsays. The pilot is being executive produced by the creators of Will & Grace.

On the amusing Twitter account, a young man posts the funny stuff his 74-year-old dad says. The Twitter account has over 1 million followers. It is also one of the top ten most followed Twitter accounts. There are not many Twitter accounts you could build a sitcom around, but this particular Twitter account should work, especially with Shatner as the father.
