I heard tell of a sitcom which would include Cheyenne Jackson and Nathan Lane. Does anyone have any dish or inside information about this? Is it a comedy? Drama? What is it about? Will there be other Broadway stars who are included in this show?

Did you just ask if a sitcom was a comedy?

^Bump, no one has any news on this project? Not even a comment about how you feel about it?

Cheyenne has been involved in a number of television projects, but I have yet to hear of him working with Nathan Lane on any of them. The one that sounded most interesting was a pilot that sounded not unlike the plot to Falsettos. Cheyenne was to be the Whizzer-type character who befriends his newly-outed lover's son. I love him on 30 Rock!
