TBS Orders Comedy Pilot from Jason Jones & Samantha Bee

Jason Jones Set to Star in Pilot Based on The Daily Show Couple's Real-Life Family Adventures

TBS has ordered a new scripted comedy pilot from The Daily Show's Jason Jones & Samantha Bee. Jason Jones is set to star in the pilot, which is inspired by his and Samantha Bee's own experiences with family getaways. The pilot is being produced by TBS, with a script by Jones and Bee.

The comedy series will follow a family as they take a road trip to Key West. Jason Jones is set to play hopeful dad Nate, who hops in the car with his wife and two young kids for a 24-hour adventure to the Keys. This comedy will prove that no matter how much close proximity can lead a family to get on each other's nerves, precarious situations and interactions with strangers can bring them together again. Should this project get a series greenlight, plans call for each season of the show to chronicle a different trip.

"As we continue to move TBS in new and exciting directions, we believe that comedies like this will truly resonate with our target audience of young adults," said Brett Weitz, senior vice president of scripted development for TBS and TNT. "We're thrilled to be working with Jason & Sam Bee, two of The Daily Show's breakout stars and two of the funniest writers in the business."
