TV Land orders Melissa McCarthy’s very meta new show to series
TV Land has given a series order to Nobodies, a new series created by producing partners (and spouses) Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone. The show—originally titled Friends With Melissa—will see the couple’s friends and old Groundlings comrades, relative unknowns Hugh Davidson, Larry Dorf and Rachel Ramras, play relative unknowns Hugh Davidson, Larry Dorf and Rachel Ramras, as they try to ride the coattails of one of their famous friends to Hollywood stardom and success. (If that sounds to you like a real Möbius strip of meta-references and Ricky Gervais-esque winking at the camera, you’re definitely not alone.)
