Conan to Produce Rebel Wilson’s sitcom
Monday, January 30th, 2012
A new U.S sitcom starring Rebel Wilson (Bridesmaids, Bogan Pride, Pizza) has just been given the go ahead by CBS, Warner Bros. Television and Conan O’Brien’s ‘Conaco’.
Conan will produce the pilot of ‘Super Fun Time’, written by Wilson. The show is a multi-cam sitcom about three misfit girls who each Friday night endeavour to have a ‘Super Fun Time’. The format screams Big Bang Theory, but given Wilson’s understated performances and appreciation of every day weirdness in things like Bogan Pride and Bridesmaids, she could give the show the edge to stand apart. Plus Conan O’Brien is on board, the man who wrote and produced on The Simpsons and the most recent Adult Swim ridiculousness ‘Eagleheart‘.
