Have you heard about Aaron Sorkin‘s new project Studio 7? It’s clearly a disguised behind-the-scenes look at Saturday Night Live or a reasonable facsimile thereof. Although Sorkin can be uneven, this actually sounds like it might be interesting. At the very least, I don’t think we’ve seen this show on TV before.
Get a sneak peek here and here.

Question: Any casting news/update on Aaron Sorkin’s NBC drama Studio 7 (Ask Ausiello 12/7)? — Matt
Ausiello: Yes, there’s been a major development. Sources confirm that Matthew Perry passed on playing the male lead and the role has gone to former Wingsman Steven Weber. I understand Sorkin was also pursuing Bradley Whitford, but he was tied up with his West Wing duties. Oh, and Amanda Peet turned down the female lead. Not sure who they’re going after now.

Another update here.
Who’s in it? Matthew Perry, as the sketch show’s writer/producer; Amanda Peet and Steven Weber as meddling network executives; D.L. Hughley and Nathan Corddry (The Daily Show) as stars of the sketch show; and Evan Handler (Sex and the City) and Carlos Jacott as the show’s writers
