Fox has greenlighted two comedy pilots from comedians Chris Rock and Steve Martin, while CBS has picked up the comedy pilot Taste. On the pilot casting front, Dominic Monaghan, Ian Somerhalder, Jorge Garcia and Evangeline Lilly have been cast in J.J. Abrams' drama Lost for ABC, Mykelti Williamson is close to joining ABC's drama The Secret Service, Marisa Coughlan has been tapped as the lead in ABC's Kat Plus One, Mitch Rouse has been tapped as a lead in NBC's untitled Marsh McCall comedy, and Andy Richter has been cast in Fox's untitled Mark Reisman comedy. The untitled Chris Rock project, from 20th Century Fox TV and the studio-based TV division of 3 Arts Entertainment, is described as an autobiographical coming-of-age comedy loosely based on Rock's experience growing up "on the nicest block in the ghetto." Rock penned the script with Saladin Patterson and Ali Leroi. The three are exec producing with 3 Arts' Michael Rotenberg and Dave Becky.
