With his 140 character one-liners, Rob Delaney has attracted a huge online following, earning the title Funniest Person on Twitter Award in 2012. Originally from Massachusetts, Delaney was an unsuccessful comedian for six years before he found his calling on Twitter in 2009, quickly building the fan base that enabled him to tour North America and overseas, making his international debut in London in October 2012.
Opposite Elizabeth Banks
Ted Danson and Elizabeth Banks are to star as father and daughter in a new Apple TV comedy.
In the as-yet-untitled project, Banks’s character is forced into an unlikely alliance with the ‘perpetually single’ son of her father’s girlfriend.
Catastrophe’s Rob Delaney also has a role in the show, created by Liz Heldens and Matt Ward
The series – which had already been announced with only Banks attached – is set to begin production in Los Angeles this year.
The logline for the show reads: ‘Fresh off a messy divorce, Heidi [Banks] sets out to secure a lively second act for herself and her kids. But when she stumbles into coordinating her father’s retirement community sex dates, Heidi is forced into an unlikely alliance with his girlfriend’s perpetually single son.’
Deadline first reported the casting of Cheers and The Good Place star Danson, who is also due to film a third season of his Netflix comedy A Man on The Inside (pictured above) soon.
