It took 13 years, but CBS has decided that, yes, it would like to work on a sitcom with Louie C.K., who has finally gotten the green light for a script he wrote with Seinfeld writer turned late-night talk show host Spike Feresten in 1999, after both proved themselves to the network by spending over a decade becoming way more famous. The duo—who worked together previously on The Late Show With David Letterman and The Dana Carvey Show—originally pitched the multi-camera series Boomtown as a starring project for C.K., basing it on the experiences of him and his friends as late-twentysomethings struggling to make it in their respective creative fields amid a tough economy. But of course, CBS passed, preferring to focus at the time on more solid, slightly hipper conceits, like a show about Bette Midler or one with that talking baby from the commercials.
