Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, and Chris Henchy's company, Gary Sanchez, has sold a multi-cam sitcom to Comedy Central starring Jon Heder (from Napoleon Dynamite), Chris Parnell, and Horatio Sanz. There's no title as of now, but it's set to premiere by the end of this year...that's a quick turnaround!
It's so interesting how almost EVERYTHING has turned into multi-cam this year. I think only a handful of shows that are being piloted right now are single-cam. Looks like sitcom is going back to it's roots, let's see if it works!
From the press release:
Produced by Gary Sanchez Productions, the production company led by Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Chris Henchy, and distributed by Debmar-Mercury, the untitled, multi-camera sitcom for COMEDY CENTRAL stars Heder ("Napoleon Dynamite," "Blades of Glory") as a young man who won't let anything get in the way of his big dreams, even if it means losing his job and having to move back in with his parents and sleep on their couch. Heder enlists the help of his friends, an ex-convict, played by Sanz ("Saturday Night Live"), and a burned-out high-school teacher, played by Parnell ("30 Rock"), in planning a myriad of well-intentioned schemes to save their hometown, Big Lake. Invariably these plans don't come to fruition and the gang is forced to go back to the drawing board.
