The project, which is presumably single-camera, is being produced by Michael Aguilar ("What Happens in Vegas"). No studio however was listed as attached.

MILLIONAIRE MATCHMAKER (Bravo) - Executive producer Rob Lee has inked a first-look deal with "American Idol" producer FremantleMedia North America. The pact gives the company first crack at the output of Lee's Bayonne Entertainment banner.
UNTITLED MATT GOLDMAN PROJECT (FOX, New!) - Matt Goldman ("The New Adventures of Old Christine") has landed a new multi-camera comedy at the network. The project, which is set up at Sony Pictures Television and the studio-based Tantamount, centers on "a man who tries to make a comeback, both personally and professionally, while working at a dysfunctional company for a woman he dumped five years ago." Eric Tannenbaum, Kim Tannenbaum and Mitch Hurwitz then presumably will executive produce for Tantamount.
