You know that thing when dreams come true that you didn’t even know you had? Well, now you will, as Deadline reports Damon Wayans Jr. and Jake Johnson have been cast to star together in the buddy cop movie of sorts Let’s Be Cops. In the reunion of the New Girl pilot, Wayans and Johnson will play bored best friends who impersonate cops for fun. Shenanigans ensue when they run into real mobsters. We look forward to seeing how Wayans handles this, since we already know how Johnson will act.
