Katharine McPhee is shooting her first TV pilot for NBC:
“American Idol” alumna-turned-actress Katharine McPhee is making her TV pilot debut with a lead role in NBC’s comedy “The Pink House.”
The project centers on Midwesterners John “Fitz” Fitzgerald and Rob “Bernie” Burnett who move to L.A. and rent a house right on the beach, determined to find jobs they actually love and make the most of their twenties.
McPhee will play Emily, a down-to-earth Midwest girl new to Manhattan Beach who lives in an apartment behind the guy’s house and works as a pharmaceutical rep.
Katharine’s playing a pharma girl! Ha ha.
Of course, shooting a pilot is just the start. It has to be picked up by the network next. Of course, NBC’s schedule is pretty empty these days with the cancellation of the Jay Leno Show, so you never know…
Katharine’s guest stars on the NBC show, Community airing March 4. Her movie, You May Not Kiss The Bride, is currently in post-production.
