Several websites are reporting that comedic actor John Leguizamo has just landed a new comedy pilot on ABC, just after the network passed on his other show The Kings Of Van Nuys. This new show, yet to be titled, is based on his life as a husband, father and fish out of water on the upper West Side of New York. The show also will feature his well off wife, his friends from his life back in the Bronx, his mother and grandfather who try to keep him grounded in his Latin roots, and his own kids who he worries are getting spoiled and losing touch with reality.
Its being reported that Leguizamo will co-write the story with former Family Guy executive producer/co-showrunner Chris Sheridan. Sheridan will write the teleplay and will executive produce with Leguizamo, Leguizamo’s longtime manager Jeff Golenberg of the Collective as well as Mandeville’s David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman.
Word is, if the pilot is a go, it will debut next fall. Leguizamo will be seen next in the new Kevin Hart and Ice Cube film titled Ride Along, set to debut next Spring.
