Pilot Mashing

From E!: What happens when Niecy Nash and Jerry O’Connell of Do Not Disturb and Eliza Dushku and Joss Whedon of Dollhouse collide at the Fox upfront?

Another Arrested is Inn

Abraham Higginbotham wrote the script for the multi-camera comedy pilot “The Inn,” which is set at a hip New York hotel.

Niecy Nash plays the outrageous and motherly head of human resources who looks out for the staff. She battles with Jerry O’Connell, the hotel’s image-conscious general manager.

The cast also includes Jesse Tyler Ferguson as the head of housekeeping, Molly Stanton as the front desk clerk, Jolene Purdy as the reservations girl and Brando Eaton as the bellman.

So what, you may ask, is the Arrested Development angle on this one? None other than Jason Bateman is directing the pilot. Higginbotham used to write for the show.
