Robin Williams Eyes Return to TV on New David E. Kelley Sitcom

Robin Williams is eyeing a return to TV with a half-hour sitcom from The Practice and Ally McBeal creator David E. Kelley, according to The Hollywood Reporter. CBS is reportedly interested in the show, which is set in the advertising industry. Kelley wrote and will produce the still unnamed single-camera series for 20th TV, and Bill D'Elia is set as executive producer. The show is Kelley's first half-hour sitcom since Doogie Howser, M.D.

The show would mark Williams' first starring sitcom role since Mork and Mindy 30 years ago, though he has recently guest starred on Louie and Wilfred. Michael J. Fox also resurrected his small-screen career earlier this month when NBC picked up his new show, which is also yet to be titled.

Hank Williams Jr.: 'Muslim' Obama 'Hates the U.S.'

Hank Williams Jr. unleashed another round of invective aimed at President Obama last week at the Iowa State Fair, according to the Des Moines Register. Speaking to crowd on August 17th, Williams Jr. proclaimed, "We've got a Muslim president who hates farming, hates the military, hates the U.S. and we hate him!" The statement was reportedly well received by the audience.

In July, Williams Jr. told Rolling Stone that Obama "hates America in the first place, forget about the flag." His latest album, Old School, New Rules, also contains plenty of charged lyrics directed at the president. Williams' outspoken antipathy toward Obama hasn't been without consequences: Last October, the country singer compared the president playing golf with Speaker of the House John Boehner, an Ohio Republican, to "Hitler playing golf with [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu," prompting ESPN to pull Williams' "All My Rowdy Friends" from its Monday Night Football broadcasts and end a 20-year relationship with the singer.
