3rd Attempt to Make US Version of Cult UK Comedy “Pulling”, Co-Created and Starring Sharon Horgan, Happening at NBC

It looks like one way or another, a U.S. version of Pulling will make it to television.

A decade ago, Sharon Horgan started off her rise in comedy with co-creating (along with Dennis Kelly) and co-starring in Pulling, a hit UK sitcom following the lives of three 21st century women living together. Since then, Horgan has worked her name into the States with the critically acclaimed Catastrophe.

Either making things come full circle or complete her rise in America (Horgan also has a bunch of other irons in the TV fire including being involved in HBO’s Divorce), NBC is developing an American adaptation of Pulling that will be written by Wendy and Lizzie Molyneux from Bob’s Burgers. Previous attempts to make this happen at ABC have gone nowhere (including one with June Diane Raphael, Jenny Slate, and Kristen Schaal), but maybe the timing was just off.

Certainly, Horgan has way more pull in the US than in years past.

Apparently, Paulilu and the Molyneux sisters are writing different versions of the same movie.

Wendy and Lizzie Molyneux have gotten Sony to buy their pitch for the female led version 21 Jump Street. Paul W. Downs and Lucia Aniello were already working on a script, but now the two pairs will be writing different scripts based on the pitches they sold.

There are no other details than that available at this time, but we wouldn’t be surprised if either movie is made, then the script for the other gets released online and people demand to see that one also get made.

Bob’s Burgers Writer Wendy Molyneux Challenged The Internet To Raise $10K To Make Her Watch The “Entourage” Movie

Wendy must have known that forcing someone to do something they really don’t want to do for charity is one of the Internet’s favorite things.

Wendy Molyneux, a writer on Bob’s Burgers and live variety show Wits, started an Internet campaign to raise money for cancer research. Her idea is that she would force herself to watch the Entourage movie if $10,000 were raised, and, of course, the GoFundMe campaign is almost at $17,000 as of this post.

As of now, she’ll not only go see Entourage twice in theaters with her own money not from the campaign, but do so in Drama Mama Pajamas and carrying a Turtle cup.

We wonder if she’ll up the ante with anything else if she gets to $50K or even six figures.
