The Serious Businessman is a failed pilot created by Chris Chauncey for Channel 101, and was screened on October 26, 2003. It is notable in Channel 101 lore for inspiring what was considered the Chauncey.

Background[]

"This pilot was originally rejected by the Prime Time pre-screening panel. Then, Chris Chauncey came over to my apartment to express his shock and dismay. I told him his pilot could be in the show if he agreed to explain to everyone that it was his call to make them watch it. He took me up on the offer, creating a new Channel 101 tradition: Taking a Chauncey. This Chauncey didn't pay off at the screening, but internet viewers might enjoy it." - Dan Harmon
