Britney Spears Was Almost On ‘Freaks and Geeks’
Apparently, NBC really wanted Britney Spears to be a guest star on Freaks And Geeks.
“One of the things was that [NBC] really wanted us to try and write Britney Spears into this,” the show’s creator, Paul Feig, revealed at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of “Freaks and Geeks: The Documentary” on Saturday. “They were like, ‘She’s really popular now, maybe she could play a waitress or something.’”
The show jumpstarted the careers of James Franco, Jason Segel, Seth Rogen, Martin Starr, Linda Cardellini, John Francis Daley and many more.
