NANA SITCOM PILOT AT ABC

Comedy updates for you today, starting with a cast change in one of the upcoming new multi camera sitcom pilots: I've informed you that ABC has ordered NANA hybrid TV comedy pilot and that it will be led by Katey Sagal and Josh Cooke, but now the male lead has been given to Ben Lawson instead Cooke because they decided to change the lead character after the first table reads.

The pilot for possible new sitcom centres on Alex (Ben Lawson), a fire chief in Indianapolis and an obsessive dad, who after the death of his wife, is forced to invite his brash and bawdy mother-in-law, Nana (Katey Sagal),  into his home to help raise the two grand daughters she barely knows.
