Newcomers Jessie Miller and Bennett Wolin have sold spec comedy script The Messed Uptons to NBC through 20th Century Fox TV and studio-based Imagine TV. Stacy Traub (Glee) is on board to executive produce the project, which marks the first sale for Miller and Wolin, former writers assistants. The two will 
co-executive produce the comedy, which centers on 33-year-old Jenn Upton. After hitting rock bottom, she discovers she’s actually the crazy glue that holds her broken family together and learns that life isn’t so embarrassing if your family is as big of a mess as you are. Traub is repped by UTA, which also reps Miller and Wolin, and attorney Ken Richman.

Both fantastic guys. Hope it goes all the way! Congrats!
Always glad to see new writers, and especially writers assistants, making s**t happen. Congrats, gentlemen. And good luck. Sorry, I know that wasn’t bitter and hateful enough for a Deadline comment…
This is great news and a long time coming. Jesse and Stacy are two of my favorite people and incredibly talented. Congratulations! Aaron Korsh
Sounds interesting. Looking forward to watching this one. Congrats to the newcomers, excited to get some fresh blood (and real writers) on TV!
They are ok.
Thank God! We really needed a comedy about a dysfunctional family.
Two of the hardest-working and most well-deserving young writers in the biz. Sincerely happy for them. Can’t wait to see what’s in store.
Worked with Stacy for a couple of seasons, she’s a real talent. Believe me, this script will have a big cold opening.
That’s what she said.
They look like nice people, they don’t have that weasel tint in their eyes, I just looked for it. Great news!
That’s a lot of comedic firepower. Congrats!
Congrats Jessie on this great milestone. I know it has been a lot of blood, sweat and tears. If anyone deserves it, you do.
Incredibly reassuring to see a network interested in a couple young writers, NOT because they have a blog, but because they have an old-fashioned thing called talent.
Jessie Miller IS doing his best. Congrats!
Congratulations Bennett and Jessie! NBC made a very wise choice! You guys are so talented and have worked so very hard. This is very well deserved!
Congrats! Well deserved!
Jessie,
I’ve known you since before we started school, this is an awesome accomplishment! Stay hungry my friend! Best of luck to you.
Congratulations Mr. Miller, you struggle & intestinal fortitude is an inspiration to everyone that knows your story. It’s high time that people have recognized your ability. Well done, I wish you further success.
I guess my family and friends don’t want to just give me a call. Thanks for the love, guys.
Awesome guys, both of them. Congrats Jesse and Bennett. Looking forward to reading it, then seeing it.
Why should this be a surprise? It was just a
matter of time for Bennett & Jessie.
Congrats guys.
Now you will learn what its like being A students working for C students who seem to run Hollywood!
Have you noticed that everyone in charge have no real friends?
Bennett is terrible at Fantasy Football, but amazing at writing pilots. Congrats!!
