Show Shut Down For Couple Of Weeks

POSTED: Tuesday, January 24, 2006
UPDATED: 12:10 pm CST January 24, 2006

Actor Jason Lee has chicken pox, so his show, "My Name is Earl," is being shut down for a couple of weeks.

The show's producer said that they would start filming when Lee is "feeling better and presentable to be on TV again."

There is some good health news for the show: NBC recently renewed the sitcom for a second season.

Lee has also starred in the Kevin Smith films "Mall Rats," "Chasing Amy," "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back," as well as "Almost Famous."

Lee also voiced the role of the villain Syndrome in "The Incredibles."
