Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo sold a comedy pilot to Fox
Rivers Cuomo has been the butt of a lot of jokes over the years, but now he’s inspiring them on his own terms. The Weezer frontman is producing a new Fox comedy pilot, DeTour, with the help of Psych creator Steve Franks. According to Deadline, the show “centers on a thirtysomething rock star who, unable to rationalize his success and worried that he may not have the tools to repeat it, walks away from the spotlight at the height of his fame in an effort to rediscover the parts of his life he missed while he was busy becoming a massive success.”
