Damon Wayans may be returning to series television. The comedian has finalized a deal to headline the CBS TV Studios multi-camera comedy pilot set at a sports radio station. The pilot is written by Bill Martin and Mike Schiff (Grounded for Life) and is inspired by acerbic ESPN personality Colin Cowherd. Wayans' character is named Nick Herd. Andy Cadiff (Hot in Cleveland, Rules of Engagement, My Wife and Kids) will direct the pilot. Martin and Schiff will executive produce with Eric and Kim Tannenbaum (Running Wilde, Two and Half Men) whose Tannenbaum Co. is set up at CBS Studios with a three-year overall deal. Cowherd will serve as a producer on the project. Danny Comden (Dirt, Urban Legend) has also joined the cast as the manipulative producer of Herd's show. |
