EXCLUSIVE: On the heels of landing its first series order in May with comedy Guys With Kids, Jimmy Fallon’s Universal TV-based company Holiday Road has set up three projects for next season: single-camera comedy Slammed and untitled multi-camera Hipster project at NBC and hour-long drama Bad Seeds at Fox. Fallon will serve as an executive producer on all three, along with producing partner Amy Ozols.
Slammed is penned by APA-repped Jon Rineman, senior monologue writer for NBC’s Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. It is a workplace comedy set in the world of professional wrestling.

The Untitled Hipster Project was created by former Daily Show With Jon Stewart showrunner Josh Lieb and actor/comedian/musician Nick Thune who will write together. Lieb will executive produce; Thune will co-executive produce with an eye to star in the project, which centers on a decidedly un-hip anthropology student finds himself living with – and studying – the wild, untamed hipsters of Brooklyn, New York. Thune, repped by WME, 3 Arts and attorney Jared Levine, has appeared on most late-night talk shows, including Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, and headlined his own Comedy Central special. He also has a monthly talk show at Upright Citizens Brigade. Lieb is with WME.
Bad Seeds was created by Fallon, Ozols, Dan Berk and Robert Olsen. Berk and Olsen will write, with David Hudgins (Parenthood) supervising. The project, loosely described as “The O.C. meets Dexter,” is about an underground gang of teenagers who team up to bring vigilante justice to the bullies at their socially corrupt high school. This marks the second sale this season for UTA-repped Hudgins, who is writing/exec producing legal drama Injustice — an adaptation of the British limited series — for NBC, Wolf Films and Universal TV. Berk and Olsen are with Principato-Young. The Holiday Road-produced multi-camera comedy Guys With Kids premieres on Sept. 26. The company is repped by CAA.

I think Fallon is on his way to becoming a great producer, hopefully his shows will bear that out…his partner in crime, Amy Olsus is a climber, according to Alec Baldwin , Good Luck Team Holiday Road Ernest H Vogt II
Bad Seeds sounds like a more interesting premise than the other two (a workplace comedy set in the world of pro wrestling could be way too broad for NBC, though the network is trying to broaden its programming; the hipster comedy might be a better fit, but the whole hipster thing is already getting tired).
The hook for Bad Seeds could be that a lot of viewers who were bullied might get a kind of vicarious expiation of their negative feelings from high school from watching it, while the bullies would almost certainly not recognise themselves in the show’s bully characters (a phenonenon I’ve seen first-hand in people who were bullies in high school and remember it as us being friends).
It will be interesting to see what happens with any of these shows if they go to series. I’d bet on Bad Seeds, myself.
Jimmy Fallon is everywhere. Good for you Jimmy. You have worked hard to become who you are today. Keep rockin’.
“The O.C. meets Dexter” sounds like a winner!
The title for the untitled hipster project HAS to remain “The Untitled Hipster Project;”- it’s the proper, ironic thing to do.
Amy is such a lovely person and Jimmy will develop as an awesome producer. Tons of good things headed their way at 30 Rock, no doubt.
