In a very competitive
situation with all four
networks buying the
project in the room, CBS
has landed a single-
camera comedy from
Horrible Bosses writers John Francis Daley and
Jonathan Goldstein with a big put pilot
commitment. The project, titled Punching Out ,
from 20th TV and studio-based Chernin
Entertainment, is in the vein of R-rated 2011
comedy Horrible Bosses, about friends who
conspire to murder their awful bosses — the
movie grossed $210 million worldwide. Punching
Out revolves around thirtysomething guys who
hate their jobs and make a pact to go back to
when they were happiest — working at the mall.
Daley and Goldstein are writing and will executive
produce with Peter Chernin and Katherine Pope.
