Hundreds of years ago, I wrote a pilot for a situation comedy built around Tom Dreesen. CBS loved the script (one of the executives at CBS at the time was Dwayne "Dobie Gillis" Hickman, if you can believe it) but our producer somehow managed to kill the project. I'm still not sure what happened but the pilot never got made, which was a shame for reasons that went beyond the obviously-financial. Tom Dreesen turned out to be a very nice, very funny gentleman, and I'd have enjoyed working with him. As it is, I have to settle for seeing him perform from time to time, and visiting his website.
