Chris Elliott is returning to sitcom television.
The comedian has signed on for CBS comedy pilot The Fish Tank, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
A teenager, apparently called Fish (Drake Bell) has wacky adventures living home alone in his family house. Elliott will play the dad of Fish’s best friend. Dash Mihok was previously cast as a whimsical neighbor.
Elliott took a stab at starring in his own sitcom, Get a Life and has guest starred in numerous other comedies. He also appeared on David Letterman’s two late night talk shows and was a cast member of the 1994-1995 season of Saturday Night Live, on which his daughter Abby Elliott is currently a featured player.
