Would you look at that! Tina Fey and Ted Danson are teaming up for a new NBC series, the network announced Thursday. Danson will star in a new show produced by Fey and Robert Carlock. The synopsis, per NBC: “The series is about a wealthy businessman who runs for mayor of Los Angeles for all the wrong reasons. Once he wins he has to figure out what he stands for, gain the respect of his staff, and connect with his teenage daughter, all while controlling the coyote population.” The show has been ordered straight to series. Coyotes! A teenage daughter! A wealthy, selfish, inexperienced politician! What could go wrong? “We are thrilled to be back home at NBC and writing for one of the network’s greatest stars of all time,” Fey and Carlock said in a statement: “Mary Steenburgen’s husband, Ted.”
