Logo, MTV Networks' GLBT channel, chipped in to extend The Sarah Silverman Program one season longer than Comedy Central would have had it, and in its newly-released development slate, there's a new project in the works involving Silverman, Tig Notaro and friends.
Actually, it's called Tig and Friends, and the potential series -- executive-produced by Silverman -- would have Notaro interview the cast of a different TV show, movie or band each week, plus more. Erin O'Malley, e.p. on Curb Your Enthusiasm as well as Silverman's Comedy Central series, would be the show-runner.
The other comedy on Logo's 2011 radar is called Queen of Harts, and comes from Peter Marc Jacobson, co-creator and producer of The Nanny. Jacobson's new project also involves a nanny. Except in this case, the nanny is man who's struggling as a hairdresser, so he disguises himself in drag as a woman (Mrs. Doubtfire meets Tootsie meets The Nanny?!?) to get a nanny job for the family of a 1980s rock star.
