“My Name Is Earl’s” Jaime Pressly has signed to star in CBS’ untitled Bays/Thomas comedy pilot.
The multicamera comedy — penned by “How I Met Your Mother’s” Carter Bays, Craig Thomas, Kourtney Kang and Joe Kelly — revolves around an unmarried couple, Tommy (Kyle Bornheimer) and Gina, and their friends in Pittsburgh.
The CAA-repped Pressly will play Tommy’s best friend, a veterinarian who works with him at the local zoo.
This marks the TV return of Pressly, who won an Emmy for her role on “Earl.”
She follows in the footsteps of fellow cast members Jason Lee, who headlines the new TNT series “Delta Blues” and Ethan Suplee who co-stars on the Fox comedy pilot “Nevermind Nirvana.” Both “Nirvana” and the Bays/Thomas comedy are produced by 20th TV, which also produced “Earl.”

Every day seems to bring with it a new milestone for 2 ½-year-old Dezi James — son of actress Jaime Pressly — except for a very important one.
“He’s in the process of potty training, which is not going very well,” the former My Name Is Earl star admits. “Boys for some reason don’t like to go on the potty.”
“I thought it was just my son, but it’s not,” Pressly, 32, notes.
“It’s the majority of men. Sorry, little boys. Babies. Although I do think that if men had the opportunity to just go in a diaper and let someone else clean it they would.”
That theory is based on her own experiences with Dezi.
“He looks at his little girlfriend — who is his age and is potty trained completely — and doesn’t understand,” the actress says. “[He asks], ‘Why you don’t let Mommy clean it?’ Like it’s taken some time out of his day.”
“I’m hoping by the time this [interview] comes out he will be fully potty trained,” Pressly says. “Fingers crossed!”

Lane can’t believe her luck when the editor goes for it in a big way, handing her the professional opportunity of a lifetime a potential cover story!
In order to pull the undercover story off, Lane must first land a corporate job. From there, her mandate is simple find lots of eligible guys in suits in the office and date as many as possible! She quickly learns that going to work at the investment bank, Thompson/Fulworth, doesn’t just mean wearing a nice suit and going to lunch. Luckily, Lane’s new boss, Tom (McMillian), takes her under his wing and teaches her the ropes. As she navigates her way through the corporate world, she also meets Seth (Dallas), a hottie on whom she develops a crush after he comes to her rescue when the copy machine goes haywire. But her perfect plan goes awry when she meets Liam (Carmack), a gorgeous music producer with a British accent who sweeps her off her feet outside the office. Her editor’s (Pressly) rules for the story are clear Lane can only date the businessmen where she works so Liam is strictly off limits! Lane is forced to choose between what she believes might be love and her Cosmo cover story and the results are far from what she expected to find!
