When The Carmichael Show got yanked off the air, we knew that Jerrod Carmichael still had plenty of big things ahead of him. Apparently, 20th Century Fox TV agrees.

Now, Jerrod has the latitude to produce, write, and maybe star in TV projects through 20th Century Fox.

So maybe there will be a Jerrod Carmichael show that might be a little more like his last HBO special, 8?

While FX has Denis Leary’s Sex&Drugs&Rock&Roll already ordered to series and Showtime has ordered a pilot of Cameron Crowe’s Roadies, this wave of rock sitcoms doesn’t stop with those two.

Fox TV has gotten on board with this trend and has just bought a project from Psych’s Steve Franks and Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo. It will be based on Cuomo’s life going from rock stardom back to college of his own volition.

If this goes to series, it will be a great accompaniment to the web series that follows a Weezer cover band called The Undone Sweaters.
