Pilot Pickup: Louis C.K. Sells Sitcom to CBS

Very good news today for all of those who enjoy laughing.

Louis C.K. has sold a pilot to CBS.

The FX star will team up with former Saturday Night Live and Seinfeld scribe, Spike Feresten, on the series, which lacks a title, but which will focus on “young people trying to achieve their creative dreams in these tough financial times," according to the official announcement.

Louis, of course, is busy with his own amazing show and will not appear on this one, but instead serve as a producer along with Feresten, Gail Berman, Lloyd Braun and Gene Stein as executive producers.
