Melissa McCarthy, husband Ben Falcone line up new pilot at CBS

Melissa McCarthy and her husband clearly have a great working relationship.

The Emmy-winning actress stars in CBS' "Mike and Molly," and now her husband, Ben Falcone, will join the network as well - at least in a new pilot.

According to Entertainment Weekly, McCarthy and Falcone - who was also her "Bridesmaids" co-star - have received a green light from CBS on a pilot.

The as-of-now untitled program will star Falcone, 38, as a single 37-year-old whose bank account is depleted after the real estate market falls apart, and is forced to move back home with his parents.

McCarthy won't appear on the show, but she will serve as executive producer. Falcone will co-write with "Mad TV's" Larry Dorf.

    I built my car from recycled CBS pilots. It only lasted about three days, & kept getting lapped by Fox pedal carts

    In a way it's amusing the first few times you do it... but to create a whole day's worth of dialogue... that's a little strange, don't you think?

    Even if it's two people that's still quite sad.

    Gosh I hope it doesnt come too bad of a storm. Remember last winter when that pine tree fell on our number 3 chicken house? Now that was a mess. Thank goodness we had just sold chickens the week before. Maybe the wind wont get so bad this time.

    They said it has a new motor and transmission. I dont know. You can never tell about those car salesman. Mark Strikland runs the car lot though. He goes to church with my son and daughter-in-law. He seems like a good honest guy. Hopefully it will last a few years. Happy weekend time our friend.

    I bought my pickup over at Midway Auto Sales. It was only $4995 for a 1982 Ford F150. It has a few miles on it but seems like a good truck. You might want to give them a try.
