ABC ANNOUNCES PICK-UP OF JOHN STAMOS COMEDY FOR MIDSEASON

The ABC Television Network has ordered a new midseason comedy series
starring John Stamos as a smooth-as-silk New York publicist. Stephen
McPherson, president, ABC Primetime Entertainment, made the
announcement today before a gathering of executives from ABC's owned
and affiliated stations.

The untitled comedy joins three previously announced new drama series
("Blind Justice," "Eyes" and "Grey's Anatomy") on ABC's midseason
slate, bringing ABC's current total of new midseason shows to four.

The series stars John Stamos as Jake Phillips, a New York-based
publicist-to-the-stars. Jake is sharply dressed, smart talking,
smooth as silk and on call 24/7 to meet the needs of his A-list
clientele. He's also a ladies' man, and one could apply the same
description to his dedicated work in that area.

Also starring are Mädchen Amick ("Twin Peaks") as Kylie Clarke, Rick
Hoffman ("Philly") as Patrick, Bess Meyer as Val and Ian Gomez ("My
Big Fat Greek Wedding," "The Drew Carey Show") as Adrian.

The series is executive-produced by Brad Grey ("The Sopranos," "The
Larry Sanders Show") and Peter Traugott. Tim Doyle ("Roseanne," "Andy
Richter Controls the Universe") served as executive producer on the
pilot. Austin Winsberg ("Still Standing") is co-executive producer
and writer of the series from Brad Grey Television Productions in
association with Twentieth Century Fox Television.
