The comedy will be produced by Sony TV and studio-based Tantamount and will be the first project to materialize with the development pact that Arnett inked with Fox in October.
Hurwitz is executive producing with his producing partners at Tantamount, Eric Tannenbaum and Kim Tannenbaum; Vallely; and Peter Principato and Paul Young. Arnett also serves as a producer.
Arnett has also lent his voice to “Sit Down, Shut Up,” Hurwitz’s animated comedy which was created for Fox and Sony TV. Vallely had also served on the project as a co-exec producer.
Both Hurwitz and Vallely won two Emmys in the year 2005 for scripting the “Righteous Brothers” episode of “Developmentā while Arnett earned Emmy nominations for his role as part-time magician Gob Bluth on “Development” and for his recent recurring role on NBC’s “30 Rock.”
