Daily Show correspondent Kristen Schaal and former Daily Show writer Rich Blomquist (who’s also her husband) have sold a sitcom to ABC, according to Deadline. The two will write American Monster, about “a small-town misfit who becomes an unlikely celebrity when she goes on trial for the murder of the century,” who will be played by Schaal. The show will be produced by Phil Lord and Chris Miller, who have already sold two other pilots this season – the Johnny Depp-produced Torched, and the Will Forte-created Last Man on Earth.
