Amber Ruffin To Star In NBC Comedy Pilot ‘Non-Evil Twin’
deadline.comNBC has handed out its latest comedy pilot to Non-Evil Twin, starring and written by Amber Ruffin. The multi-camera pilot stars Ruffin as a woman, who is forced to step in to her sister’s role as the leader of a Fortune 500 company despite knowing little about business and even less about the way her sister has been running the corporation.
It marks the first pilot for Ruffin, who wrote a book – You’ll Never Believe What Happens to Lacey – with her older sister Lacey Lamar, after she and her writing partner Jenny Hagel signed an overall deal with Universal Television, which will produce, via their new production company Straight to Cards.
However, the move comes as Late Night with Seth Meyers writer Ruffin continues to scale back the amount of episodes of her own late-night show – The Amber Ruffin Show.
