ABC orders rapping-mayor pilot from Daveed Diggs and Jimmy Fallon writer
Now that reality TV star Donald Trump’s Oval Office aspirations seem all but assured, it’s time to start speculating on what other kinds of entertainers might soon be making the move into public office soon. ABC is getting the speculation ball rolling with a potential new series about a rapper-turned-mayor, Deadline reports. The as-yet-untitled single-camera comedy has been granted pilot production commitment assuming producers can assemble a suitable cast. That shouldn’t be too hard, considering that one of the showrunners is a guy who probably knows a few talented young musician/actors.
