Sitcom among the few new shows this fall

Actually, there were a handful of sitcoms announced at the upfronts, but one in particular stands out as far as we’re concerned. It’s entitled Project Gary, and it will star a standup comic, Jay Mohr, and is co-created by a standup comic, Ed Yeager.

Before gathering multiple credits as a writer, consulting producer and supervising producer, Yeager was a comedian and, says the Male Half, a damn fine one. (The Male Half shared a bill with Yeager and then-unknown emcee Steve Harvey at the Hilarities in Cuyahoga Falls, circa 1985. Shortly thereafter, Yeager took off for Hollywood, where he caught on as a staffer with Roseanne.
