Wyatt Cenac, Ana Gasteyer to Star in Conan O’Brien’s TBS Comedy Pilot
The Daily Show alum Wyatt Cenac and Saturday Night Live vet Ana Gasteyer are set to star in the TBS comedy pilot The Group, from Conan O’Brien’s production company.
The show stars Cenac as Wyatt Jones, a journalist who writes a snarky story about a group of oddballs who have formed a support group because they believe they’ve been abducted by aliens.
The catch: The more Wyatt investigates their claims, the more intrigued he becomes.
Gasteyer plays Gina Morrison, the group’s therapist who lost her accreditation, who also works part-time at a home furnishing chain.
