I really do hope that it's not just a hatchet job on Steve. I'm all for satire and good humor, as long as it's even-handed. It would be a shame if Jobs is made to look like the villain, while Ballmer et al serve as foils. With Steve having cancer and a transplant they would be walking a fine line between humor and kicking a guy when he's down.
Fake Steve Jobs was never funny IMO and Seinfeld is pretty much the only credit for Charles worth mentioning. This is two bottom feeders doing what they do best. Sadly, the popularity of Apple and Steve Jobs will sell the show regardless of it's inevitable comedic failings and people will like it because it's a "thing" not because it's well written or funny.
Ever heard of Borat? he was the director.
He was also the execituve producer for the animated series version of Dilbert (who unfortunately was cancelled due to being to hi-brow. I thought it was really a great show).
He's also directed some of the best "Curb your enthusiasm" episodes. CYE being one of the best
shows out there, I think that has some credit to it.

Lame.

The ability of the American audience to understand a French pun is truly limited.
Let's face it - in French pretty much any phrase has some kind of sexual connotation.
Even this sequence of letters is a sexual statement - when pronounced Frenchwise.
