Sarah Silverman's Comedy Project Sparks Major Putting in a bid War, Ron Howard Aboard

EXCLUSIVE: We now have the very first major putting in a bid war of year -- I hear ABC, NBC and Fox are in search of Imagine TV/twentieth century Fox TV's untitled Sarah Silverman comedy co-compiled by and starring the irreverent comedian, with a minimum of 2 systems, ABC and NBC, offering major obligations. (CBS hasn't heard the pitch yet). In addition, the only-camera comedy loosely according to Silverman's existence has turned into a pet project of Imagine principal Ron Howard. Imagine's TV division is underneath the oversight of Howard's partner, John Grazer, who can serve as a professional producer on all Television shows. Hardly ever has Howard taken personal curiosity about a TV project, becoming deeply committed to its development as was the situation with Imagine TV's Emmy-winning Arrested Development. That's the situation using the Silverman project, and Howard went along to any or all pitch conferences in the systems. Co-created by Imagine TV and 20th TV, the only-camera comedy stars Silverman like a lady readjusting towards the single existence following a decade lengthy live-in relationship. Silverman is writing with Serta Sterling and Jon Schroeder, who have been author-producers on Silverman's eponymous Comedy Central series. Silverman, Howard, Sterling, Grazer and Francie Calfo are executive creating.
