The couple that plays together stays together.
Ben Stiller is prepping a comedy pilot he will produce and direct for the CBS network. The untitled show will star Stiller's wife, Christine Taylor.
The pilot is in the vein of HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm, with Taylor playing an actress trying to make it in Los Angeles. HBO attempted a similar series with Lisa Kudrow's The Comeback, which was canceled after one season due to poor ratings.
Taylor has appeared as Jan Brady in The Brady Bunch movies, as well as hubby Stiller's Dodgeball and Zoolander love interests. Her TV credits include a multiepisode story arc on Friends and appearances on Arrested Development.
The two appeared in season four of Curb as themselves. In a fictional storyline, Stiller and Curb star Larry David were cast as the two leads in Mel Brooks' Los Angeles production of the musical The Producers. After suffering an injury at David's hands, Stiller dropped out and was replaced by David Schwimmer, who went on to have an equally unpleasant relationship with David.

Don't count on seeing THIS Stiller series on CBS!<br />
Even Les Moonves wouldn't take a chance on whatever Ben thinks is "funny"......
Colin, you need to get your facts straight before you put them out there (and where is your editor). <br />

It seems that Ben casts her as his love interest in most of his inane movies to keep her at his side so she won't see what a moron he really is.
She was MARCIA not Jan Brady! Lordie!
I thought she played Macria Brady not Jan Brady? ... Whoops!
Because the more people who notice Christine Taylor, the more she loves herself.
