The high-profile comedy talkshow hosts Ellen DeGeneres and Jimmy Fallon are both involved with pilot projects ordered by NBC.
Yesterday we learned that NBC has re-ordered the 2013 comedy Super Clyde, this time without British actors Rupert Grint and Stephen Fry.
Today we have news of two more comedy pilots, which can boast Ellen DeGeneres and Jimmy Fallon as respective executive producers.
Variety writes that the untitled comedy from DeGeneres’ A Very Good Production banner will star Parenthood‘s Monica Potter as a woman re-entering the dating scene while juggling a busy life and three ex-husbands.
Potter will serve as producer on the project, which has been penned by Sherry Bilsing-Graham and Ellen Kreamer. Bilsing-Graham, Kreamer and Jeff Kleeman will also executively produce.

Jimmy Fallon, meanwhile, will serve as executive producer on Sharing, a single-camera comedy “about disparate groups of people who work side by side in a shared office space.”
Jeremy Bronson (who writes for Late Night With Jimmy Fallon) has written the pilot, and will executively produce with Rick Schwartz.
We’ll have to wait and see what happens with these two series once the pilots have been produced! NBC will have a lot of great pilots to choose from, we’re sure.
