Anybody who thought USA was kidding about getting into comedy programming is thinking again today: the network's upfront-season slate has a robust comedy development piece. New projects include talent like Amy Poehler (producing Difficult People, starring Billy on the Street ambush comics Billy Eichner and Julie Klausner, and produced in-house), Legally Blonde writer Karen McCullah (Love the One You're With) and off-Broadway darlings Jonathan Tolins and Michael Urie (Majordomo).
The drama slate is led by a "cast-contingent" pickup for a new dramedy set in an American government compound in a Middle Eastern country; both the country and the series are called Stanistan.
