Popular TV shows such as "The George Lopez Show" and "Que Pasa USA?" have invited us to enjoy the lives of Mexican-American and Cuban-American families via the small screen. However, not all Latino families are Mexicans or Cubans, and that's why NBC is looking for a new diverse family comedy. Dominicanos stand up!
The network is teaming up with "Undateable's" Bill Lawrence and Adam Sztykiel for the upcoming "Vlad," a multi-camera comedy based on the true life of Dominican comedian Vladimir Caamaño. Caamaño is a regular performer at New York's The Stand Comedy Club. He was a finalist on NBC's Stand Up for Diversity program and has been featured on AXS' Gotham Comedy Live.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the show, which was picked up with a put-pilot commitment, "is inspired by the stand-up comedian's life and explores his family dynamics while living with his Dominican father and older brother in the Bronx."
Lawrence and Jeff Ingold will executive produce the show; whereas, Sztykiel and Caamaño will write the script. Caamaño will also co-executive produce. If all goes well with the the pilot, "Vlad" ---the latest family comedy to be put in development this season--- will become a series on NBC. Check him out below and keep your finger crossed!
