As this slow broadcast network pilot season continues, ABC has ordered its second comedy pilot of the year: “Forgive and Forget,” a multi-camera comedy set to star Emmy-winning “Modern Family” alum Ty Burrell.

ABC has also ordered the comedy pilot “Shifting Gears,” starring Tim Allen, for this season. That means both of the network’s comedy pilots are multi-camera sitcoms from 20th TV starring veteran ABC stars.

Michelle Yeoh took an apparent dig at CNN’s Don Lemon during her Best Actress acceptance speech at the Oscars on Sunday (12 March).
The 60-year-old actor, who won the prestigious award for her leading role as Evelyn Quan Wang in Everything Everywhere All At Once, seemingly threw shade at Lemon for his comments about Nikki Haley’s age last month.
During her speech, Yeoh said: “For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities.
Catch up with the Oscars as it happened here.
“This is proof that dreams, dream big, and dreams do come true,” she said. “And ladies, don’t ever let anyone tell you you are ever past your prime. Never give up!”
Lemon angered the public in February by saying that Haley, who announced her presidential campaign, should not be critical of politicians’ ages because of her own age.
