Jon Favreau stars in "Favreau"!

[Sitcomwriter]

"Favreau" stars Jon Favreau as Jon Franklin. In the 1st season, he is the head custodian at Pete Rose High School in West Islip, New York. He is married to Lorelei (Téa Leoni), a beautiful, indepedent lawyer and together they have 2 kids, gourgeous pre-teen Elise (Elizabeth Bird) and adorable 6-year old Rose (Elle Fanning). At work, Jon deals with his best friends and fellow custodians Roger (Harrison Page), a black widower with a son, Lorraine (Rhea Perlman), a divorced Italian woman with 5 kids and Stan, a happily married old man with 2 grown kids. His new boss is the moronic Principal Gerry Cardigan (Richard Riehle), a fat, loud, pompous jerk ("and what's worse is that he's Canadian!") and nobody can stand him. In the 2nd season, Jon's childhood friend Carmine Randazzo (Jay Mohr) moved to town, along with his wife Nancy (Bonnie McFarlane) and daughter Sara (Sara Paxton) and got a job as head custodian at Elise's school, Nick Nolte Middle School. Also, Gerry moved back to Canada and was replaced by Graham Harmon (Peter Krause), who the gang could actually stand! Jon's "troubled" nephew Gary (John-Paul Vitale) also joined the cast that season, moving in with Jon, Lorelei and the kids (and pissing Elise off, as he moved into her room, forcing her to move in with Rose). When Jon accidentally embarrassed Gary at school, he decided to quit and take a job at Nick Nolte Middle School to work alongside Carmine so he and Stan said goodbye to Roger and Lorraine and hello to Carmine, Principal Deidre Middlesex (Deidre Hall) and Trudy Andrews, a pathetic custodian who has never even been in a relationship before. At the end of that season, Stan's wife Maritza died and everyone went to her funeral. At the start of Season 3, Deidre hired an efficiency expert (Kathy Kinney) to look after the staff and make sure they were all doing their jobs. Meanwhile, Stan met and fell in love with Heidi Stergin (Anna Nicole Smith), a younger and relatively dumb woman who everyone thought was just a gold digger. They eventually married and he retired and moved to Florida. The 4th season brought even more changes. Deidre was killed in an automobile accident and was replaced by the sassy Klayla McFine (Wanda Sykes), who didn't believe in efficiency experts and fired Dodi. Eventually, Jon convinced her to hire her back as a custodian to replace Stan.

"Favreau" Theme Song Lyrics

Episodes 1-10 Theme Song:

"License to Chill"
Preformed by Jimmy Buffett

Work, Work Work
A big pile of it
And the boss is a jerk
Just wanna dissappear
Wishin' I was somewhere other than here
Livin' for the weekend
Jump right off the deep end
But just enough money to buy
A License to Chill!

Episodes 11- Theme Song:

"You're Chasing the Sun Away"
Preformed by The Mighty Mighty Bosstones

You decided to hide out
From the sun light
It's too bright
It just doesn't sit
Right with the way
You're feeling today
You're cloudy and grey
So little kid, now you take two days
Trying to chase it away
Hey!
You're chasing the sun away
Hey!
