Matthew Broderick to Star in CBS Comedy Pilot
by Lesley Goldberg

Matthew Broderick is heading to CBS.

The Broadway star has been tapped to headline the network's untitled
Tad Quill comedy pilot, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.

The multicamera comedy revolves around Jack, a recently widowed father
raising his 12-year-old son while jumping back into the dating pool.
Broderick, who is currently starring on Broadway in the musical Nice
Work If You Can Get it, will star as Jack, a confident and
effortlessly charming self-aware dad who's completely committed to his
son, Sebastian. When the advertising executive finds himself pushed
back into the dating scene by his well-intentioned son and married
colleague, he's initially hesitant but surprised when it goes well and
he opts to sow his wild oats again.

Scrubs alum Quill will write and executive produce the CBS Television
Studios comedy, with James Burrows on board to direct.

Two-time Tony winner Broderick, repped by CAA and Jackoway Tyerman,
most recently guest starred on ABC's Modern Family and episodes of
Louie and 30 Rock. Broderick was previously attached to star in NBC's
2010 failed pilot Beach Lane. The casting comes as his wife, Sarah
Jessica Parker, has been recurring on the fourth season of Fox's Glee.

It sounds like they are trying to roll back a few years and reboot Allen
from 2&1/2MEN.

I hope the cameras are running when his next costar tries to strangle
him for being the worst actor working.
