Jerrod Carmichael and Lil Rel Howery reteam for a Fox pilot

The Carmichael Show may be gone from the airwaves but that won't stop its stars from shining. Jerrod Carmichael and Lil Rel Howery have gotten back to basics and brought a new multicamera comedy to Fox. However, The Hollywood Reporter says only Howery will be acting in the series.

Howery will star as a man whose creed is “always believe in yourself and great things will come." But, with his wife having an affair with his barber, that can be hard to do. The Chicago based series will have Howery rebuilding his life from the ground up after divorce.

Carmichael and Mike Scully will executive produce. Howery, Josh Rabinowitz and Kevin Barnett will pen the script. The yet to be titled series already has a put pilot commitement. THR also says this show comes from a first-look deal Carmichael signed with 20th Century Fox Television last month.

HBO has its own comedy line ups

Not one to be outdone by some streaming service, HBO announced its upcoming standup specials. Jerrod Carmichael, Pete Holmes and TJ Miller are all lined up to play on the premium network. Actually, this will mark Carmichael's second special for HBO as his Love At The Store. This new one is coming next fall. Holmes, having released a couple of hours already on Comedy Central, comes to the network with Faces and Sounds which he taped this past April. His show Crashing also premieres next year on HBO. TJ Miller's Meticulously Ridiculous tapes September 16 in Denver as part of his The Meticulously Ridiculous Tour. The Silicon Valley star's special comes out next year as well.

Those aren't the only comedy offerings the network has. Russell Simmons' All Def Comedy tapes on September 7 at Avalon Theatre in Los Angeles. The show is to be hosted by Tony Rock as he takes the audience through sets of up and coming comedians. And finally, Tracy Ullman's Tracy Ullman Show premieres on Friday, October 28. The six episode sketch series features both famous and regular British people in wacky bits. Think Dame Judy Dench and Angela Merkel, both of whom are slated to appear. 

Jerrod Carmichael is Making his Own Comedy Pilot for NBC

After cancelling the somewhat decent A to Z and the incredibly embarrassing Bad Judge, NBC has picked itself up to find another comedy show that won't take it out to dinner once and never call back. 

The network has given order to a multi-camera sitcom from the mind of Jerrod Carmichael. Variety reports that the show is inspired by Carmichael's stand up as well as his relationships with his friends, family and girlfriend. So it's basically Mulaney, Seinfeld, or any other sitcom based on a comedians' life from over the past 20 years.

Carmichael and one of his executive producers Nick Stoller (director of the Seth Rogen comedy Neighbors) are writing the pilot. 

The comedian has been in several other comedy projects including a supporting role in Neighbors, Lucas Bros. Moving Company, and Comedy Bang Bang. Carmichael's stand up special Love at the Store recently aired on HBO.
