Zack Hernandez, senior vice president of US syndication sales for Sony Pictures Television added with Variety, “Craig is an extraordinary talent who has excelled in late night, daytime and primetime and has incredibly high awareness. Viewers know and love him. Craig shot a hilarious pilot, and we can’t wait to reintroduce our buyers to him and look forward to giving audiences a chance to watch this very funny show.”
Unfortunately, there hasn't been any update on the show's status more than a year later.
