NBC has given a script development deal to _Kate on Later_, which, if ordered, would be a potential post-_Parenthood_ starring role for Graham, who is also co-writing with Liz Tuccillo_._ The half hour, single-camera comedy follows its titular character breaking into the heavily male world of late-night talk shows, which the show’s official logline deems one of the “last remaining glass ceilings.” It’s all-too-timely given the recent changeover in late-night TV, which didn’t alter that [world’s gender demographics at all](http://popwatch.ew.com/2013/03/24/late-night-jimmy-fallon-seth-meyers/ "undefined"). Graham and Tuccillo will also executive produce along with Ellen DeGeneres and Jeff Kleeman.
