About Abbott Elementary

A group of dedicated, passionate teachers - and a slightly tone-deaf principal - are brought together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life. Though these incredible public servants may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do - even if they don't love the school district's less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.

Quinta Brunson serves as writer and executive producer alongside Justin Halpern and Patrick Schumacker of Delicious Non-Sequitur Productions. The series is produced by Warner Bros. Television and 20th Television, a part of Disney Television Studios. The pilot episode is written by Quinta Brunson and directed by Randall Einhorn.

Starring Eliza Coupe, Ginnifer Goodwin and Maggie Q, PIVOTING is a single-camera comedy set in Long Island, NY, that follows three women - and close-knit childhood friends - as they cope with the death of the fourth member of their group. When faced with the reality that life is short, these women pivot, and alter their current paths, by way of a series of impulsive, ill-advised and self-indulgent decisions. These pivots will strengthen their bond and prove it's never too late to screw up your life in the pursuit of happiness.

For AMY (Coupe, "Happy Endings"), the fearless producer of a local cooking show, managing a hundred employees comes easily. Yet, when it comes to caring for her own children, she's absolutely terrified. Despite Amy's lack of maternal instincts, her husband, HENRY (Tommy Dewey, "Casual"), a contractor who never loses his cool, perfectly counter-balances his wife in all of her flaws. Her pivot is to be a more active, present mother.

JODIE (Goodwin, "Once Upon a Time") is a stay-at-home mom of three in a loveless marriage. Her husband is a controlling, finance-obsessed jerk, but Jodie has never even considered that the grass might be greener anywhere else. When she does, her pivot means getting in shape... and maybe more, with her hot 27-year-old trainer, MATT (JT Neal, "Bless This Mess"), who gives her the attention and excitement she didn't realize she had been craving for years.

SARAH (Q, "Designated Survivor") is a successful doctor - an M.D. and Ph.D., as she will readily let anyone know. For Sarah, the loss of their friend is compounded by the recent divorce from her wife. After a life filled with stress, Sarah is sent into a tailspin, that launches her pivot to a simpler, and thus happier life - working as a grocery store employee. Written by Liz Astrof ("The Conners," "2 Broke Girls"), PIVOTING takes a real look at three intelligent, empowered and seemingly enlightened women who decide to stop and hit the reset button. For all three of these women, the untimely and heartbreaking death of their friend was the wake-up call they didn't know they needed, but might be just the thing that helps them live their best lives.

Jimmy Fallon makes his primetime hosting debut and executive produce "That's My Jam," a new hourlong music and comedy variety event series that draws its creative DNA from wildly popular "The Tonight Show" games such as "Wheel of Musical Impressions," "Roots Name That Song" and "Slay It Don't Spray It." In each episode, two teams of two celebrities compete for charity in a series of music and dance-based games, performative segments and play-along trivia with Fallon hosting all the action.

Both returning alternative hits and new series will also arrive to conquer midseason, led by the fourth season of the Ellen DeGeneres smash "Ellen's Game of Games." Joining Ellen in primetime as a master of ceremonies is Jimmy Fallon, who will executive produce and host "That's My Jam," a new comedy variety event series inspired by the wildly popular, celebrity-fueled musical segments made famous on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon."

The laughs continue with "True Story," starring Ed Helms and Randall Park as hosts of a hybrid alternative-scripted series in which everyday Americans sit down to share their most extraordinary and unbelievably true stories for the first time. In the case of "Small Fortune," big series can certainly come in small packages, especially in this game show where teams of friends and family take on tiny games to win huge money.

The format was brought to Universal Television Alternative Studio by Fallon, longtime "The Tonight Show" producer Jim Juvonen and writer Josh Knapp. Adam Blackstone is Musical Director and will lead the house band throughout each episode. Mike Yurchuk will serve as showrunner.
