CBS Greenlights New Pilot From Conan O'Brien and Rebel Wilson
CBS just greenlit a pilot for Super Fun Night, starring and created by Bridesmaids actress Rebel Wilson.
It looks like Conan OBrien is going to get his own show (well another one). CBS just greenlit a pilot for Super Fun Night, starring and created by Bridesmaids actress Rebel Wilson. The show will center around three girlfriends with a nerdy streak who make it their goal to have as much fun as possible every Friday night. As self-fulfilling as the title is, the show has brought on a pretty powerful group of comedians to back it. Conans television firm Conaco will be producing the show alongside executive producers Jeff Ross (Conan, Kids In The Hall) and David Kissinger (Eagleheart). OBrien is also signed on as an executive producer, though it is unknown whether or not he will star. Still, Im sure we can expect to see a bit of his signature on it. Wilson is certainly no stranger to TV, starring in mostly indie produced television comedies before breaking out with Bridesmaids. She is currently attached to several film projects in production, including What To Expect When Youre Expecting and the newest Ice Age sequel (I think were up to seven now?). Its hard to know what to expect from her, but if she pulls some talent from Bridesmaids I think we can all be happy. With any luck, this will be another step in showing that female comedians can push comedy even further without all the hassle of a male lead.
