Tina Fey has had a longstanding history with NBC, but it seems she's now ready to branch out... with comedian Fortune Feimster! The stand up, who has appeared on Chelsea Lately and is currently a recurring character on FOX's Mulaney, has just signed on to star in a comedy series from the 30 Rock star alongside producers Matt Hubbard and Robert Carlock.
The show will be a semi-autobiographical comedy based on Feimster's life growing up in North Carolina, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Hubbard is set to write the script, with Feimster to star. The two will also executive produce the project with Carlock and the former Saturday Night Live star and head writer. David Miner of 3 Arts Entertainment will also exec produce the series.
Check out some of Feimer's material below:
The unnamed ABC comedy will reunite Tina Fey with her former 30 Rock cohorts, Carlock and Hubbard, who worked with her throughout the entirety of the Emmy Award-winning NBC series.
Feimster recently made MStarsNews' list of Top 9 Moments of Mulaney's second episode, "The Doula." Read all about that here!
Following the news of the upcoming ABC comedy, Feimster took to Twitter to show her appreciation. Take a look at some tweets below:

Thank you so much for the amazing comments! I can't believe I'm getting to work with Matt Hubbard, Tina Fey, & Robert Carlock. #BestTeamEver — Fortune Feimster (@fortunefunny) October 23, 2014
BTW, I got fired from my first ever job in Hollywood and my boss said, "You'll never find a boss as good as me!" Now my boss is Tina Fey :)
