"NBCU has been endlessly supportive of me not only as an actor but also as a creative and I'm beyond humbled and grateful to get the chance to develop my own show under their umbrella this year. I'm deeply proud of the work I did on 'Superstore' and can't wait to move forward once again with NBCU in this new capacity."
