“We are so excited that Alec will be joining the comedy team, ” said Kate Adler, CBS’ exec VP of comedy development. “Having spent the past 13 years at WME, he has great relationships, a fresh perspective on development, and a really good handle on the comedy landscape. In addition, at 6’2”, he brings the height our department has been sorely lacking.”
