Studio 7 on the Sunset Strip is a new dramatic television program coming to NBC in the fall of 2006. The show takes place behind the scenes at a fictional sketch comedy variety show, similar to Saturday Night Live or MADtv.
The show was created by Aaron Sorkin (Sports Night, A Few Good Men, The American President, The West Wing) and thirteen episodes have been ordered.
According to a report in Variety on January 27 [1], three main roles have been cast. Matthew Perry (Friends) will play the lead character, Matt Albie, an ex-writer for the show who is asked to return when the executive producer is fired. Steven Weber will play Jack Rudolph, head of the fictional UBS network which broadcasts the show. D.L. Hughley will play another cast member of the show, Simon Stiles.
Sorkin and producer/director Thomas Schlamme offered a major role to Bradley Whitford, who wished to accept, but couldn't commit due to the future of his current show, The West Wing being up in the air at the time. Since that point, it was announced that The West Wing has been cancelled by NBC. It is unclear how this affects casting for Studio 7.
