Variety's Michael Schneider reports that husband-and-wife comedy team Samantha Bee and Jason Jones will be developing a sit-com for CBS. The duo are both correspondents for The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. (This comes via the Huffington Post's Media vertical.)
Mr. Schneider describes the show, which will be co-written by and star Ms. Bee and Mr. Jones as revolving "around the behind-the-scenes world of a celebrity chef (played by Jones) and the two women who run his cooking empire (one of whom will be played by Bee)."
