NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt announced on Friday that Tal Rabinowitz has been named executive vice president of comedy programming, replacing Jeff Ingold, who is departing the company.

Rabinowitz will oversee all aspects of comedy programming, beginning in June.

Rabinowitz comes from Sony Pictures Television, where she most recently was the SVP of comedy development and digital programming. She was involved in the development of series such as ABC's Happy Endings, Showtime's The Big C and Fox's Breaking In.

"[Tal] is exactly the kind of creative executive to guide our comedy development as we plot the future of NBC," said Greenblatt.

Prior to her days at Sony, Rabinowitz served as the director of comedy development for The WB Television Network.
