Chrissy, John inspire TV show

Singer John Legend and his model-turned-TV celebrity wife Chrissy Teigen are inspiring a sitcom on ABC, BuzzFeed News reported on Friday.

Black-ish creator Kenya Barris, who has a three-year deal with ABC Studios to develop new projects, told the website that his first effort will be a comic take loosely based on the couple’s marriage.  “It’s inspired by them — they’re both super creative and super effusive and I’m just fans of them and everything they stand for,” Kenya said.

The couple will be producers on the project, which is tentatively titled Ordinary People after John’s 2004 Grammy-winning track of the same name. “I feel that song serves as a thematic background for the show,” Kenya told BuzzFeed.

About the proposed TV show, Kenya said, “It will be about an interracial couple. We don’t know what’s going to be what. But it will be a part of the show in terms of showing those two worlds colliding and coming together — their issues and their obstacles that (happen inside) their personal relationship.”

If Ordinary People gets the green signal, it will begin filming in February, according to Kenya.
