NBC is staying in business with Parenthood star Monica Potter, adding a comedy with the critical favorite as well as a half-hour produced by Jimmy Fallon to its pilot orders. The network on Monday handed out pilot pickups to Sharing and its untitled Potter project from exec producer Ellen DeGeneres. The Mindy Project’s Jeremy Bronson will pen the script and exec produce the Universal Television and Eight Million Plus comedy alongside Fallon and Rick Schwartz. The Potter vehicle, meanwhile, comes days ahead of the Jason Katims family drama’s Jan. 29 series finale.
