Jamie Lee Curtis Fought for a Sitcom, Helping NBC Bring Back Multi-Cam Comedy
TL;DR
Jamie Lee Curtis says she spent years begging her agents to land her a sitcom and helped drive NBC’s return to multi‑camera comedy with Newlyweds, a Gail Lerner–created late‑life romance on which she is an executive producer and star. The show, pairing Téa Leoni and Tim Daly, aims to anchor NBC’s Friday comedy block alongside Happy’s Place, as Curtis argues that multi‑cam provides the laughter, rehearsal, and feel‑good energy she loves—and hopes it signals a broader comeback for the genre beyond single‑camera formats.
