John Goodman has been cast to star in The Station, the Fox comedy pilot from Ben Stiller.

Goodman joins a cast that includes Justin Bartha, Whitney Cummings, Rob Huebel and Julio Oscar Mechoso. David Wain has been brought on to direct The Station. Stiller, Jeremy Kramer and Stuart Cornfeld are the executive producers on The Station, which comes from writer Kevin Napier.
