"DiResta (7:30 p.m.). John DiResta is a stand-up comic, but he once was
a New York City transit cop - and that's the role he hopes will make him
a TV star. This show's a spin on the funny one-man show DiResta did
onstage in New York, presenting his experiences on Manhattan's subway
and homeless beat.

Anthony Gentile and his wife Donna Daley of Abrams Gentile Entertainment
, the producers of Saturday morning TV shows and the toys that spawned
them (Sky Dancers and Dragon Flyz) saw DiResta in a comedy club when he
was still on the police force. They thought he had the makings of a new
Jackie Gleason. Their company put up the money for an off-Broadway show,
to give him a showcase and publicity push. Within three months, major
studios were bidding for the TV rights, and Disney/Touchtone bought
them.

When UPN's Dean Valentine left Touchstone to head up this network, he
took the project with him. AGE is producing it for UPN, with Matt
Goldman as executive producer.

DiResta's an appealing character, and there's a lot of his off- Broadway
show's in this sitcom. But the best part is when DiResta's playing the
overworked, frustrated family man with TV wife Leila Kenzle (Mad About
You) and two very cute kids. "
