"David Koechner has landed a role in the forthcoming US remake of Friday Night Dinner. NBC&amp;#039;s revamp of the UK comedy is being overseen by Parks and Recreation co-creator Greg Daniels. Anchorman star Koechner has joined the cast, according to Deadline, though it is currently unclear what role he will play. Koechner previously collaborated with Daniels on NBC&amp;#039;s The Office, in which he played the boorish Todd Packer. He will also appear opposite Tom Hardy and Chris Pine in action-comedy movie This Means War and has filmed a role in horror sequel Piranha 3DD. The original Friday Night Dinner - which features The Inbetweeners star Simon Bird and Episodes actress Tamsin Greig - will air on Channel 4 in the UK later this year. &amp;gt; Mindy Kaling, Office exec to team for NBC animation Watch a trailer for the original Friday Night Dinner below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
