Valerie TBS

Valerie Bertinelli is coming back to the world of sitcoms. She just signed on to to star in a new comedy pilot for TBS (via Sony Pictures Television) from writer/executive producer Dave Caplan (The Bill Envall Show, George Lopez, etc). MIchael Wright, the SVP of the Content Creation Group for TBS, TNT and Turner said, “Valerie Bertinelli became a popular fixture on television playing one of two children being raised by a single working mother…Now she’s exploring that world from the opposite angle, playing a single working mother raising two children. Between Valerie’s comic skills and Dave Caplan’s highly relatable humor, we’re very excited to watch this pilot take shape.”

Looks like Jenny Craig put her back on the map! I wonder if the pilot will have their own “Schneider” on it?

About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.
