Eliza Dushku scores new CBS comedy pilot


Eliza Dushku is set as the female lead opposite Damon Wayans in CBS' untitled sports radio show pilot. The multicamera comedy, from veteran writer-producers Bill Martin and Mike Schiff, is inspired by ESPN personality Colin Cowherd’s outspoken sports talk show. It centers on Nick (Wayans), an egotistical sports-radio host with a quick wit and cocky likability who is adored by his fans. Dushku will play Nick's radio cohort Casey, a fun, quick-witted gal, who is socially oblivious and pathologically blunt.

From Eliza's Facebook: It is with insanest excitement & awesomeness I get to finally fill you guys in: I've JUST landed a new CBS comedy pilot w/ my comic idol Mr. Damon Wayans! Stay tuned, there is a serious happy dance occurring at the moment 😉 xx!

'socially oblivious and pathologically blunt', sounds like Anya lol. I can't wait!
Too wicked!! An excuse to watch a sitcom again, I hope it's a gooder. Sounds like a sweet premise.
 
I love Damon Wayans too so I hope this stays on...
 
Hmm, Eliza in a comedy? I wasn't all that impressed with her on BBT, but who knows? I'm willing to check it out! (I do love her overall by the way)

Me either but it wasn't a particularly interesting part now was it? I think, or hope at least, that she could do far better with a little bit more to work with 🙂
 
I don't see this doing well. I don't think she's the comedy type. She should go for a drama type role instead. Maybe a part on CSI or even Bones. If this get's picked up I don't think it'll last a season.

She didn't fit the role in The big bang theory but not sure it was her fault or the casting. Not sure this will fit her either but I won't take anything for granted. Sometimes actors surprise you big time. They just need the right role.
 
"pathologically blunt?"
Yeah, that doesn't sound like a roll Eliza could handle at ALL! 😉
