Ed scribes ink deal with NBC

By Paige Albiniak -- Broadcasting & Cable, 11/15/2002 5:16:00 AM

Rob Burnett and Jon Beckerman, the executive producers and writers behind NBC's Ed, have signed a two-year deal with the network to develop prime time drama and comedy series, NBC Entertainment President Jeff Zucker said Thursday.

The two are associated with David Letterman's production company, Worldwide Pants Inc., which also produces Ed, with Letterman credited as an executive producer on the show.

While creating other series for the 2004-05 season, the two will continue to work on Ed, which is in its third season on NBC.

Burnett also serves as executive producer of The Late Show with David Letterman.
