NBC has a new comedy project in the works from Ellen DeGeneres. The network gave a pilot production commitment to the untitled multicamera project, which will star “Parenthood’s” Monica Potter, Deadline.com reports.

The project is executive produced by DeGeneres and comes from her company A Very Good Production and Warner Bros. TV, where DeGeneres’ banner is based.

The series is reportedly loosely based on Potter’s life, and is written by Sherry Bilsing-Graham and Ellen Kreamer, creators of “I Hate My Teenage Daughter.”
