Jeremy Irons Asks the Farrelly Brothers for a Job (VIDEO)

The first cut of the film that made Peter and Bobby Farrelly famous, 'Dumb and Dumber,' was three and a half hours long, they shared on 'Late Night' (weeknights, 12:37AM ET on NBC). The brothers screened it for their friends, and one called it "the all-time worst movie." Ouch.A lot has changed for the screenwriting and directing duo since 1994. The Farrellys have gone on to helm more than 10 comedies, and even directed host Jimmy Fallon in 'Fever Pitch.'
"I think your films are wonderful," said fellow 'Late Night' guest Jeremy Irons. Bobby Farrelly asked, "Are you outta work?" Irons replied, "They never come to me for comedy. I don't know why." Fallon loved the idea: "Let's have Jeremy Irons be in a comedy! C'mon, let's make this happen!" So, how 'bout it?

It's replacing last season's stinkers such as Standoff and Justice.At its upfronts presentation last month, the net announced two new reality shows, three new comedies and five new dramas. Of those, we have seen all the comedies and dramas except a drama called Nashville, which Fox has not yet released for preview.
