EXCLUSIVE: Christopher Titus is back at Fox with a new comedy project loosely based on his life. Titus’ eponymous sitcom ran on Fox for three seasons before being abruptly cancelled in 2002. In the show, which Titus co-created with Jack Kenny and Brian Hargrove, he starred as a version of himself surrounded by his dimwitted stepbrother, his girlfriend, his goody-goody friend and his lewd, multiple-divorced father.
Titus’ new project picks up eight years later in the life of the comedian who has gone through a marriage and a divorce since the end of his Fox series. In the new show, which has received a script order by the network, Titus would star as a current version of himself, dealing with his great new girlfriend and her solid family as well as his crazy ex-wife.
Titus is writing the script with sitcom veteran Michael Glouberman. The two are executive producing with Warren Littlefield who was key in putting the project together. 20th TV is producing. Titus is with Gersh and The Collective; Littlefield and Glouberman are with CAA.

Titus was one of the funniest shows Fox ever aired. I could not be more excited for this project.
I second that. Very funny man. I wish him well.
Wooohooo I was a big fan of the first sitcom. Can’t wait!
I worked on the show and Christopher was wonderful to work with. We had a wonderful staff and crew!!!! The show was hilarious.
Ditto
My one big concern about this project is the cast of the original show were great together. They had great comedic flow together. If this show mirrors Titus current life his father has passed away and he has been divorced.
At best this would mean at the least that Cynthia Watros (Erin)will likely not be a big part of the show, or if she is involved will be shown in a pretty spiteful manner and Stacey Keach who played Ken Titus would only be shown in flashbacks.
This is gonna throw the comedy timing off.
Don’t get me wrong, love Titus, the show and the stand up…I’m just concerned that changing the dynamic of what once worked so well could be a problem. But I hope for the best.
You assume that the new cast they line up for the new show will not work together as well as the cast from the original show.
I doubt that will be the case…the first cast worked out so well because Titus agreed that each member portrayed the parts he wrote perfectly…I don’t think his judgment has gotten any worse so I’ll bet that the new cast, whoever they end up being, will turn out to mesh just as well if not better than the old cast.
I will admit though, both Stacy Keach and Zack Ward will be missed immensely!

If you love Titus, I HIGHLY recommend you check out the three stand-up CDs he’s put out in the past 5 years: 5th Annual End Of The World Tour, Norman Rockwell Is Bleeding, and Love Is Evol (all three are double discs, but you can find them at Best Buy for about $13). I dug on the show on Fox, but these discs (especially End of The World, because it was the first I was exposed to his stand up) made me a Titus fan for life. The dark, dark **** he’s dealt with in his life, and he finds ways to make it all funny. No matter what you’ve gone through, he makes it seem like it’s not that bad. He’s also shown up all over Sirius’ comedy stations, and usually makes for an entertaining guest. Seriously, check them out. – Glad to see him back!
Bringing Titus back would make TV worthwatching. He makes me laugh when I can’t even cry.
more about his life? Oy
How dare he have the temerity to have an actual life on which to draw on for material!
I’ so happy & ecstatic for him. I loved his stand up. And since his last comedy special “Love is Evol.” I was hoping to see more of him. Hurray!!!
WOW! I totally did not expect this news! This is AWESOME! Welcome back, Chris!
Couldn’t this guy disappear like Ed Burns?
He should bring back the previous “Titus” cast for cameos.
god, i hope its like the original show and they can bring back cynthia watros to place the crazy ex wife. and maybe stacy keach can show up as his dad somehow
The show was canceled because he was out of control. He call then FBC President Gail Berman a “see you next tuesday.”
Pardon my ignorance, but what does that even mean?
say it out loud slowly, and spell phonetically
OK, I had to Google it, but get it now.
Ummm how does that make him crazy if he called her that … I mean isn’t that just the truth about her? If saying the truth makes one crazy then I suppose he was crazy town! I’ve worked for so many hard core women who all say men who are nasty never are accused of being so … buuuut in reality I’ve never worked for a man in this industry who verbally abused me as much as the hard core women have, sooo what gives?
Who really likes Titus? It’s like the JAG of comedy. It’s on, but you won’t find one person who will admit to liking it… Get with it Fox.
LMAO…great analogy.
Plenty of people enjoy his comedy. Recently played Charlie Goodnights Comedy Club in my area and they added an extra show on top of the multiple ones already billed to accomodate demand. Love his stand-up (can’t wait for the video/special from this current tour) and the original series. Hope this new series pans out well for him.
Just because something isn’t even mildly amusing to you doesn’t mean others won’t find it absolutely hysterical.
so not true! Love this man… Have tickets to see him in WA in October and totally can not wait!!! If his show came back I would will stand up and yell loudly that I watch it. One of the funniest shows on tv I have ever seen!
Um I LOVE Titus.
I have no issues saying so to anyone, anywhere.
I love his Stand-up, I love his outlook on life, and I love the idea of the new show.
Then again…I happen to be pretty dysfunctional so I don’t have issues relating to his comedy. Don’t hate on the man because you’ve had yourself a normal and relatively hazard free life. You happy people don’t need stand-up anyway…go enjoy an opera or something.
You are sooo wrong. I love his comedy and cannot wait to see him in another show. I think he’s incredibly talented. I’m sorry you can’t appreciate his humor.
Titus is awesome, I’ve watched his old show on YouTube twice thru every episode, I’ve introduced it to friends and family and EVERYONE so far finds it hilarious— Unfortunately with Ken gone (RIP Mr Titus) there won’t be much room for Stacey Keach’s character but even so the show was hilarous as is his Stand-Up…. I can’t wait for the new show to air!
Uhmmm then maybe don’t watch???
That show probably would’ve lasted longer if Titus hadn’t been such a pain in the ass to then Fox chief Gail Berman. When you’re a bubble show you have to make nice.
LMAO! “bubble show”?!?!?!? Titus had the highest ratings of a Fox comedy during it’s run other than The Simpsons.
Stacey Keach was comic gold in the last Titus series. Funny show and Titus is a funny comedian, I am eager to see what he comes up with.
My husband will be glad to hear this. He still pisses and moans about Titus being cancelled.
Mine too! He watches and re-watches the seasons of the show on dvd!
I liked the first show, it reminded me of people I knew, and I’ll give his new show a chance if he’s able to catch lightning in a bottle the second time.
This is the greatest thing FOX has done ever!!!
Titus was one of the funniest and underrated shows in TV history. I cannot wait for this show!
THis is worse news than Gary Coleman dying!
Too bad you don’t have your own show to voice your opinions. For now I’ll just have to laugh at your pathetically obvious jealousy. I love how every dlckhead on earth takes time out of their lives to go to an article on a subject they have disdain for and complain. Don’t you have a job or a girlfriend or something you can do to fill the void in your meaningless existence other than plssing other people off? Troll.
Wouldn’t it be neat if he could bring back the cast of his first sitcom?
I find it remarkable that anyone gives a rats hinder about Christopher Titus’ life, let alone a Studio willing to bankroll it…again.
I really must watch it so that I too can discover – no doubt – that Christopher Titus is truly…THE MOST INTERESTING MAN ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET.
Boy does Hollywood suck.
LOVED HIS SHOW!!!!
So glad to see him back in development-always felt “TITUS” never got the support it deserved from the network (along with Arrested Development)……
Please don’t muck this one up, FOX!!!
This guy is unbelievably unfunny.
Seriously? How about giving someone new a try. No. Let’s get someone from 8 years ago and give them another chance. Next thing you know we’ll be hearing that NBC is dusting off Paul Rieser…Oh wait
Titus Season 1 was about as perfect a comedy season as has ever aired. If only Cynthia Watros had not cut her hair short before season 2, it might still be on.
Here’s hoping this new return will be as good as the first! Congratulations Titus. Northern California rocks!
I’m all for freedom of speech, but you should be banned from making comments on this board. You’re either a liar or your taste is so bad that you should not have the same freedoms I and others on this board enjoy.
You know Hollywood, how about you forget about the whole diversity thing in entertainment (as representative of different cultures, ethnicities, sexual orientation, etc.) and just try to aim for diversity among white people at least.
I mean are we really regurgitating the same lames from the 90s and early 2000s now?
The guy from earl, the guy from titus, the girl frome friends, the girl from everybody loves raymond…can’t wait til they mine the gold that is the girl from king of queens, the guy from saved by the bell, the guy from friends. Yep. They all HAVE GOT to have shows. It’s their birthright.
What year is this? Who the fuck has been clamoring for Chris Titus to return? Good thing Fox didn’t pick up funny and original shows like “The Station” and that Adam Goldberg one but they still have room for ANOTHER fucking show about Chris Titus. Good call guys.
Christopher Titus is one of THE most ugly human beings on the inside i have ever met. EVER. No joke. you cannot find comedians who respect him other than his cronies that he “supports” by promising them parts and “help” in the biz. which is hilarious cause the man himself needs help in the biz. this will never get filmed. trust me, it is a burn-off of development money. it was a favor though and through.
NO one in town likes Titus. NO one.
You must be his ex wife!
Exactly what I was thinking! This HAS to be the ex. Comedians love Titus, just listen to the different shows on Sirius comedy and Howard Stern channels and every comedian he talks to loves him. His last three Comedy Central specials have been amazing and ring very true to anyone who’s dealt with major family **** in their life. Great guy and can’t wait to see him back on TV!
wow I like Titus, and wait for it Im in Town. your are a crusty old hag who cant cut in the industry. Unfortunatetly no one really care about what you think so does us all a favor and shut the hell up. Titus was the only show that really portrayed real family life none of that i love you mommy and daddy shit. By the way if this is his ex wife/whoever the hell you are….Nevermind I dont have to stoop to that level to be better than you.
Yay, MIchael Glouberman!
