Stiller and wife Christine Taylor to make show based on Taylor's life

Comedic star Ben Stiller has signed at deal with CBS television which will create a television series staring his wife, Christine Taylor.  
  
Stiller is going to direct and executive produce the show, which is loosely-based on Taylor's life. If the show is picked-up by the network Stiller could have a reoccurring role, according to the Hollywood Reporter. CBS is pushing for the show to begin production this summer.  
  
"She is a small-town girl who has found her way into Hollywood but still retains a lot of the values and humility (of her upbringing)," CBS Entertainment president Nina Tassler told the Reporter. "There are times when she is befuddled by her status -- being an actress married to a big movie star."
