My Name is Earl – A Pilot for NBC: “I play Earl,” Lee said. “It’s a very funny one camera show.” Lee was never interested in TV, but this half hour comedy struck him because it’s shot like a film. “It’s a one camera show, it’s shot on film and it’s right up my alley in terms of it being out of left field. It’s not the typical NBC show. It feels in a lot of ways like Raising Arizona. It has that kind of vibe with the narration and the characters. It’s very humorous but in a very odd way. So it’s been fun so far.”

No Passion of the Clerks: Consistent with Kevin Smith’s assertion that it will not be a cameo heavy affair, Jason Lee has not been contacted for a cameo in The Passion of the Clerks. “I haven’t heard from him on it. I haven’t heard from him anything about it. I don’t even know when they’re shooting and who’s in it. I’m assuming Jeff and Brian are in it. He didn’t say anything about any cameo.”
