LeBron James to Produce Chris Spencer Comedy at Fox

Comedian Chris Spencer is developing a comedy at FOX with LeBron James as an executive producer, according to Variety.

The multi-camera comedy is currently titled "I Just Do" and is inspired by Spencer's comedy. It's about an African-American family therapist and his loving and expressive Latina wife living beyond their means in an upper-middleclass neighborhood, where they are raising twin teenagers with the "help" of their intrusive parents.

Fox gave the project a script commitment with a penalty attached. Along with starring, Spencer will serve as a writer and co-executive producer. John Beck and Ron Hart will write and executive produce. James and Maverick Carter will executive produce via their SpringHill Entertainment banner. J.P. Williams will also serve as a co-executive producer. Producing the project are Warner Bros. Television and SpringHill.

In addition to his stand up, Spencer has been in films like "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood," "Black Dynamite," "Postal," and "I Really Hate My Ex." He has also acted on shows like "In Living Color," "The Jamie Foxx Show," "Significant Others," and "Being Mary Jane." He was also one of the co-creators of the Showtime series "White Famous" and has worked as a writer on shows like "Grown-ish," "Real Husbands of Hollywood," and worked on the BET Awards.
