Upfronts: Jay Mohr on the move at CBS

Jay Mohr is on the move to another night at CBS. That's what everyone who's been obsessing about pilot pickups this weekend seems to think. It's official: CBS made the pickup call Monday ayem.

Buzz on Mohr's laffer pilot, tentatively dubbed "Project Gary," from scribes Ed Yeager and Ric Swartzlander and ABC Studios is very strong -- Monday 9:30 p.m. strong.

Mohr's spent the past few seasons on CBS' Friday night lineup as a regular on "Ghost Whisperer." If the pilot lives up to its advance billing, it outta be fun to see Mohr exercising his comedy chops again as a middle-class, mid-30s dad who's recently divorced and struggling to juggle his re-entry into the dating scene with the demands of his ex and his kids. Sitcom also stars Paula Marshall and Jaime King.

Per the Eye's custom, skedding news will be kept under wraps on a Need to Know, retina-scan clearance level until Wednesday ayem just prior to CBS' Big Shew at Carnegie Hall.
