At least give me the credit for being more creative than that... For the last couple of years, Larry, Rick and I have been developing this pilot. It's a situational half-hour comedy. It's fictional, and loosely based on my life." Charles previous' exec produced credits include HBO's hit series Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld and more recently the international hit movie Borat.
