John Goodman Lands CBS Sitcom
Goodman in comedy for CBS
LOS ANGELES, California (Hollywood Reporter) — John Goodman has closed a deal to star in a CBS sitcom targeted for fall 2004.
The network has committed to a pilot from writer-producers Mitchel Katlin and Nat Bernstein, though the premise for the series is still being hammered out.
If the new project goes to series, it would be Goodman’s first starring TV role since Fox’s short-lived comedy “Normal, Ohio” in the 2000-01 season. He also had a small role in the drama series “Now and Again,” which ran on CBS in the 1999-2000 season.
Goodman has been nominated for an Emmy nine times, seven of them for his role as Roseanne Barr’s frank and outspoken husband on ABC’s blue-collar family comedy “Roseanne.”
On the big screen, Goodman is in the Bob Dylan vehicle “Masked and Anonymous.”
CBS has been actively pursuing Goodman. This past development season, he was approached to star in the network’s untitled comedy pilot based on the life of sportswriter-columnist Tony Kornheiser.
Katlin and Bernstein most recently were executive producers on UPN’s comedy “Abby.” Their series credits also include NBC’s “Cursed” and CBS’ “The Gregory Hines Show.”
