George Clooney To Team With Showtime For Suicide Sitcom
George Clooney’s Smoke House shingle has set up half-hour comedy script “The Fall of Bob” at Showtime.
Project, penned by Danny Zuker (”Stacked”), is a dark single-camera laffer that revolves around a man whose life flashes before his eyes as he jumps off a building.
Show will follow the lead character, Bob, as he narrates his life through flashbacks.
Showtime’s been aggressively pursuing top-name talent of late, recently greenlighting the Steven Spielberg-produced, Diablo Cody-penned “United States of Tara.”
The channel also just piloted the darkly comedic “The End of Steve,” from Matthew Perry and Peter Tolan.
