Jay Mohr joining office party in CBS pilot

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Jay Mohr is set to star in an untitled CBS comedy pilot from the creators of "Will & Grace."

The project revolves around two friends and writing partners -- one straight (Mohr) and one gay (Brian Austin Green) -- and the women (Jessica Capshaw, Vanessa Lengies) who work with them. Mohr's character is a guy's guy who loves sports and reads a lot.

It comes from "Will & Grace" creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick, and is loosely based on their professional relationship.

Mohr has a recurring role on "Ghost Whisperer." If the pilot doesn't go to series, he will become a regular on the CBS drama, if it is picked up for a third season. Mohr's TV credits also include the Fox comedy series "Action" and NBC's reality show "Last Comic Standing."
