Text

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- CBS has ordered a television pilot from couple Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone, who co-starred in the blockbuster comedy "Bridesmaids."

The as yet untitled show will feature Falcone co-writing and starring, while McCarthy will executive produce, Entertainment Weekly reported Friday. Larry Dorf, of Mad TV, is a co-writer on the project.

The show centers on a single, 37-year-old man, played by Falcone, who moves back in with his parents after losing everything in the real estate collapse.

Falcone, who played Air Marshall Jon in "Bridesmaids," also has a role coming up on ABC's "Happy Endings," TVGuide.com reported. He will play Max (Adam Pally) and Dave's (Zachary Knighton) "lonely, yet angry landlord."
