Jason Milligan
This fresh, highly original comedy tells the story of ex-astronaut Chad Williams, the last man ever to walk on the moon … and the only man to have a hit-and-run accident on the lunar surface! Back in the ‘70s, Chad accidentally slammed into his co-pilot with the lunar rover, leaving the poor guy in a coma ever since! Permanently blacklisted by NASA, Chad has been reduced to a life of shame and humiliation, eking out a living as a third-rate celebrity pitchman on late-night TV commercials (“carpet so soft, you’ll swear you’re walking on the moon!”). Chad is presented with an opportunity to redeem himself and regain his place in the spotlight. The only problem is, there are strings attached … as well as possible murder charges! In spite of his reservations, Chad throws caution to the wind and blasts off into an orbit of celebrity infamy. He is soon surrounded by colorful crackpots and conniving con-men … and ultimately wishes he were still up there, “Walking on the Moon.”
