Thomas Lennon and Ben Garant Developing Pilot for NBC
Reno 911! may sadly be over, but at least two of the cast members could be returning to the small screen…
…Thomas Lennon is headlining a new comedy project at NBC.
The broadcast network has handed a pilot commitment… he will write with Robert Ben Garant, his "Reno" co-creator/co-star and frequent collaborator.
The two also will executive produce the project, whose premise is being kept under wraps… Lennon will star; Garant will play a supporting role.
Hooray for Hollywood! All we know about the pilot is it will be a multi-camera sitcom. All other information is "being kept under wraps." Just like a teenage girl's diary. "TOP SECRET! That means you, Mom and Dad!"
"Our entire team has long been fans of the work Lennon and Garant have done on Reno 911! as well as their comedy films," NBC president of primetime entertainment Angela Bromstad said, noting that network brass will look for the duo "to come up with a comedy hit."
I truly am a big fan of Lennon and Garant, and I genuinely hope this new sitcom is the hittiest comedy hit to ever hit. But I love how quotes in Hollywood trades always seem to be written by a robot trying very hard to feel human emotions. "Our computational system has calculated that Lennon and Garant are what you humans call 'hilarious.' What is love?"
I'm JKing. I know all quotes in trade magazines are actually written by an intern trying very hard to feel any emotion besides uselessness. "What is love?" indeed. All my computational systems really hope this show is great!
