The untitled show will follow the "whitest" guy in America as he marries into a very large and close-knit Black family. ABC has ordered a pilot. If it's picked up, it will join the ranks of several new comedies making waves across the small screen. Wayans is set to not only write, but executive produce the show as well. As of now, he will not be starring in it. [Hollywood Reporter]   Peter Chernin and his TV chief, Katherine Pope, will serve as executive producers as well.
