NBC Set to ‘Strip’

NBC has picked up a multicamera comedy from “Reno 911″ co-creators/stars Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant.

“The Strip,” as its called, is about a former child star (Lennon) who is now the owner of a Hooters-esque restaurant in a strip mall on the outskirts of Las Vegas. Garant will be playing a supporting role in the pilot.

Universal Media Studios is producing the project. They had kept the premise a secret since being set up last October. Lennon and Garant are also serving as executive producers, with Peter Principato and Paul Young.
