Tina Fey ORDERS Steve Carell Again

The funniest woman on TV and the funniest man on TV are about to collaborate again. Tina Fey and Steve Carell have a comedy scheduled to open next spring, DATE NIGHT (check out the trailer) but Hollywood Reporter says the two comic genius might be teaming up again for MAIL-ORDER GROOM, Fey’s husband, Jeff Richmond, was one of the people who came up with the story idea..

As of today, the report states that Fey and Carell are loosely attached, meaning the deals are not locked in yet and it all depends on their availability. Keep in mind that Fey won’t wrap up this season of 30 Rock until the month of March and after that her and Carell would be busy touring, promoting DATE NIGHT. Carell also has his own production company and a ton of other gigs already lined up including the possible GET SMART 2.

MAIL-ORDER GROOM is housed at WB, a comedy about “a naive single woman who can’t find love and ends up with a husband from Eastern Europe, bringing him home to the States.”
Originally written by Robert Carlock and Scott Silveri, scribes Glenn Ficarra and John Requa are doing the rewrite.
