TBS Greenlights Pete Holmes Pilot

Rising comedian Pete Holmes has yet another reason to celebrate as he heads to Montreal this week for the prestigious Just For Laughs festival. According to an exclusive item on Vulture, TBS has given the go-ahead for a half-hour late night pilot starring Holmes, to be produced by Conan O’Brien’s Conaco.

From Margaret Lyons’ report:

Holmes definitely shares Conan’s goofy gregariousness, though he skews cynical where Conan skews silly. The show starts filming its pilot mid-August, but there’s no word yet on when TBS would have to render a final decision.
