Comedian Brett Ernst has signed a development deal with the WB Network for a comedy series project based on his stand-up act. Veteran writer-producer Barry Kemp (CBS' Newhart, ABC's Coach) and Eric Lapidus (CBS' Two and a Half Men) have come on board to pen and executive produce the project through Touchstone Television, where Kemp has an overall deal. The project marks a rare collaboration between the WB and ABC's sibling studio. Ernst, who had a talent holding deal at Touchstone last season, was featured in the New Faces showcase at the 2003 Just for Laughs comedy festival in Montreal. He is repped by UTA and manager Joan Green. Kemp and Lapidus are represented by Broder Webb Chervin and Silvermann.
