Olivia Liang stars in "Kung Fu" This week's Best bets By Michelle Rose TV Media Pilot project: Networks have begun handing out pilot orders, and the first comedy to be ordered to pilot at CBS features a high-profile pairing: that of father-and-son duo Damon Wayans ("My Wife and Kids") and Damon Wayans Jr. ("Happy Endings"). The Wayans are behind a multi-camera comedy that was still untitled at the time of writ- ing. It centers on a happily divorced, legendary talk radio host named "Poppa," played by Wayans Sr. Poppa suddenly finds his worldview challenged at work after a new female co-host is brought in. The challenges con- tinue at home, too, where he still finds himself parenting his adult son (Wayans Jr.), "a brilliant dreamer who is trying to pursue his passion while being a respon- sible father and husband." Deadline was the first to break the news last fall that a Wayans- led comedy was in development at CBS, and now this pilot order brings the potential sitcom one step closer to becoming a reality. Should the show make it to air, it would mark the elder Wayans' return to network com- edy after appearing in the first two seasons of Fox's TV adapta- tion of "Lethal Weapon" (2016- 2019). He got his big break in the 1990s show "In Living Color," which he co-created, before moving on to roles in films and TV. The four-time Emmy nominee also co-created, execu- tive produced and starred in "My Wife and Kids," which remained popular throughout its run (2001-2005) on ABC, and co-cre- ated the ABC sitcom "Rodney" (2004-2006). Both Wayans will serve as executive producers, and Wayans Sr. is said to be sharing the writ- ing duties with former "Last Man Standing" executive producer Kevin Hench.
