Daily Show Duo Behind CBS Sitcom

Jason Jones and Samantha Bee, married couple and correspondents on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, are developing a new sitcom for CBS, reports Variety.

Jones and Bee have signed on to co-create and co-write a script for themselves that they will also star in. The as-yet-untitled comedy will revolve around the behind-the-scenes world of a celebrity chef (played by Jones) and the two women who run his cooking empire (one of whom will be played by Bee).

As part of the deal, they’ve sealed separate talent holding pacts with CBS and sister studio CBS Paramount Network TV. They’re penning their project under the development component of their deals.

Bee has appeared on The Daily Show since 2003; she was joined by husband Jones on the show in late 2005.
