Actors Jay Mohr and John Cho have both joined separate untitled comedy pilots for CBS.
Mohr's comedy pilot, from Will and Grace creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick, centers on two friends and writing partners, Mohr (the straight one) and Brian Austin Green (the gay one). The pilot is based somewhat on the professional relationship of Kohan and Mutchnick. Jessica Capshaw and Vanessa Lengies round out the cast.
Mohr currently appears in the CBS drama Ghost Whisperer in a recurring role which will turn into a regular role if this new series is not picked up by the network.
Meanwhile, John Cho (the American Pie movies, Harold and Kumar go to White Castle) has joined another comedy pilot for CBS from Friends writer and producer Scott Silveri. The new pilot focuses on a group of friends who hang out at an all-night diner. The cast also includes Phillip C. Vaden.

I love John Cho. Unfortunately I don't see that sitcom going far.

So, the writer of Will and Grace came up with a plot very similar to W&G, while the writer of Friends came up with a plot very similar to Friends...
*snore*
Serious, I enjoy both Mohr and Cho, but I have no interest to watch the "revivals" of W&G and Friends. I hope these pilots don't get picked up. :P

Isn't Cho already attached to 'The Singles Table'? I guess that show doesn't have too much life, although with it being held back so long I guess it didn't really to start with...
