Apparently, Carell told his co-star that he had previously voiced Gary in the animated superhero shorts, and Carrey sparked to the idea of them starring together in a feature film. About three years later, the idea came up again when Jim Carrey and Steve Carell were working together on the film Bruce Almighty. Weirdly, though, that wasn't the end of the Ambiguously Gay Duo's attempts to make it into live action adaptation.
Because the Ambiguously Gay Duo shorts originally aired on The Dana Carvey Show, Universal Pictures held the rights, and that created difficulties with Paramount Pictures - which produced SNL Films at the time. Unfortunately, this iteration of the project wound up getting killed due an issue surrounding the ownership of the characters. The concept of an animated AGD film came up, and while the creator originally rejected the idea, his tune changed when he began thinking about the potential for a live-action adaptation - specifically one starring Alec Baldwin and Jimmy Fallon.

According to the comedian, the original idea of an Ambiguously Gay Duo movie actually came up all the way back in 2000 when Smigel's animated shorts were still showing on SNL. This interesting bit of trivia comes our way thanks to Entertainment Weekly, who got the story out of Robert Smigel himself.
