Amy Sedaris signs with 20th TV


October 15, 2008 The single-camera project will be co-produced by David Letterman's Worldwide Pants, which has a first-look deal with Sedaris, a longtime friend of Letterman's and a frequent guest on his "Late Show" on CBS. Busy filming an arc on TNT's "The Closer" as the sister of agent Fritz Howard (Jon Tenney) and promoting the paperback release of her book "I Like You," Sedaris said she wasn't looking to do a series and almost didn't take the meeting with 20th TV's head of comedy Jonathan Davis. While the show will be scripted, there will be room for Second City alumna to showcase her improv skills.
