SUMMARY
|
What would happen
if one of the funniest men became its leading one?
Oscar Winner® Robin Williams reunites up with
the director of Good Morning, Vietnam to answer just
that question in a comic tale of an entertainer's
accidental rise to power, Man of the Year.
Acerbic Performer Tom Dobbs has made his career out
of skewering politicians and speaking the mind of
the exasperated nation on his talk show. He cracked
scathing jokes at a factured system night after night
until he came up with a really funny idea: Why not
run for president himself?
After a flip moment, Dobbs ignites a grassroots movement
that puts him on the ballot. Hot on the campaign trail,
he debates elected drones and says exactly what frustrated
voters have often thought. Nov. 2nd later, the muckraker
wins - only to learn that a computer voting error
gave him the victory. With the time ticking on the
inaugural clock, Dobbs has a big decision to make:
Should he go back behind the mike or stay in the Oval
Office?
This election season, comic actors, including Laura Linney,
Christopher Walken, Jeff Goldblum and Lewis Black join
Robin Williams in a pulled-from-the-headlines comedy.
Together with Oscar® winner Barry Levinson, they'll
show the world that - only in America - a comedian can
become the country's next president and our Man of the
Year. |

INFORMATION

November
25, 2005
A couple of scenes will be shot in downtown
Dundas on december 05 and 06. Among the locations
are the Deluxe Restaurant and Taylor's Tea Room. While
little information was available from producers before
press time, it is expected at least Robin will be
in Dundas. Crew from the production were expected
to gather at the Collins Brewhouse Tuesday afternoon
for a technical meeting.
Deluxe Restaurant owner John Paul Yuen said the Man
of the Year crew will be in Dundas for nine days in
total. "Robin Williams seems to have a lot of
fans here," Mr. Yuen said. "Everyone wants
to come and take a look."

tom
dobbs
Nasa spent 30 Million dollars creating the pen that
would write upside down in space. Did you know that?
The Russians, how ever, were able to solve this problem
with... Five cent pencil! Writes right side up writes
up-side down, after five quarts of vodka, is still
writing!
tom dobbs
People say Intelligent Design, we must teach Intelligent
Design. Look at the human body, is that intelligent?
You have a waste processing plant next to a recreation
area.
tom dobbs
I did inhale because I thought 'What the hell, it's
lit, it's in my hand, I'll inhale it.'
tom dobbs
When I was a young boy I used to look at pictures
of naked ladies, hence my right hand is very strong.
I touched myself more than a third base coach.
tom dobbs
HAL decided it liked me.
tom dobbs
The president wants to pass an amendment
banning same-sex marriage. Anybody who's
been married knows it's always the same
sex!
tom dobbs
If you're representing special interest
groups, maybe we should be like NASCAR
with the little patches on the back: 'Enron:
We take your money and run!'
senator mills
I support hydrogen cars...
tom dobbs
That's weird, because you're backed by
oil companies.
tom dobbs
How many analogies do you have left?
jack menken
How many does it take to make my point?
tom dobbs
HMOs will pay for your Viagra, but they
won't pay for your glasses. So you can
have a hard-on, but you can't see where
to put it.
tom dobbs
I had sex with a prostitute when I was
21, I was so bad, she gave me a refund.
jack menken
Everyone's going to be writing about how
honest you are and how straightforward.
I just hope your honesty doesn't undercut
your irreverence.
tom dobbs
Well I want to do a show about gay farmers
and call it "Crop Circles",
is that offensive?
Jack Menken: Not to me.
tom dobbs
Today I was in the oval office for a preparatory
meeting and I sat behind the President's
desk and I had a reality check. I sat
there and I went 'Wait a minute, I'm a
Jester. A Jester doesn't rule the kingdom;
He makes fun of the king.'
tom dobbs
No, I did not sleep with that woman...
but I wanted to!
