Jason Alexander Preps Return to TV
Forget those Jenny Craig commercials -- Jason Alexander is getting ready to return to TV with a new series. The 'Seinfeld' veteran is developing an hourlong series about a private investigator at CBS that would see him executive producing and starring. Hm, guess 'The Michael Richards Show' didn't teach 'Seinfeld' alumni to stay away from detective work.
According to Variety, the project would star Alexander as a former TV star who joins his ex-wife's detective agency. It's with the detective agency where the character discovers a knack for undercover and disguise work.
Alexander's last headlining role was in CBS's 'Listen Up,' where he played a sports radio host. He recently appeared alongside his fellow 'Seinfeld' stars on Larry David's HBO hit 'Curb Your Enthusiasm.' Fellow 'Seinfeld' star Julia Louis-Dreyfus is also prepping a new series, 'Veep,' on HBO.
Simon Barry will write and co-executive produce the untitled CBS project with Carol Yumkas serving as producer.
