Now, his supporters have reason to celebrate: the comedian and producer signed an overall deal with ABC Studios yesterday (November 28).<\/p>\n

The New York Times<\/a> reports that Wilmore will develop new scripted material for ABC and work with network executives to recruit talent. Wilmore previously co-developed the successful \"Black-ish<\/a>\" for ABC, then left the showrunner post to helm \"The Nightly Show.\" He still executive produces HBO’s recently renewed<\/a> \"Insecure<\/a>,\" which he co-created with Issa Rae<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Disney took a chance on me as a young writer years ago and so I\u2019m thrilled to return to the Mouse House,\" Wilmore said in a statement to the Times, referencing Disney’s ownership of ABC Studios. \"I hope my room still looks the same.\"<\/p>\n
