Untitled Whitney Cummings Project (NBC)
“30 Rock’s” Maulik Pancholy has scored a role on the comedy pilot, about a couple - Whitney (Cummings) and Alex (Chris D’Elia) - and their relationship foibles. He’ll play their friend Neal (“sensitive, cool, metrosexual”) in the Universal Media Studios-based half-hour, which also stars Beverly D’Angelo and Zoe Lister. Andy Ackerman is also reportedly on board to direct from a script by Cummings.

My boss totally treats me like that!” Which I love. I mean, I think as an actor, you’re always trying to touch on something that hits home for people.
