Chris Garcia Is Developing Sitcom Based on His Life and Family with Fox and The Lonely Island

Chris Garcia’s story and comedy being put into a TV series is long overdue.

Son to Cuban immigrants that made it out of Cuba into the U.S. despite the odds being against them, Chris Garcia has become a truly wonderful comedian. 

Over the last couple of years, he’s really delved into his identity as a Cuban American and you’ve probably heard some of the stories on NPR, WTF with Marc Maron, or his fantastic stand-up album, Laughing and Crying at the Same Time.

Now, Chris might get to tell the story of his life and his family trying to make it on television over at Fox thanks to The Lonely Island. It being Fox and The Lonely Island and Garcia, we can see how this project could potentially be like no other family sitcom you’ve ever seen before (that’s a really good thing).
