Hey, cast your wife why don’t you?! ELLEN DeGENERES lands ABC gig, puts Portia De Rossi to work!
ABC is getting into business with the popular TV host, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed.
The Alphabet Net OK-ed a pilot order for the sitcom The Smart One
The show, produced by Ellen and starring Portia, is about a brilliant and successful woman who begrudgingly goes to work for her less-brainy but more popular sister — a former beauty queen, weather girl and now mayor of a big city.
We’ll keep you posted if the show actually gets picked up for next season.
Since Ellen has a second show in the works at ABC we'd say this one has a good shot.
