Comedians Dana Gould and Maz Jobrani are set to star in half-hour comedy series on ABC. Gould takes a page from his own life and lets us all laugh at the thousand small humiliations he’s suffered from his dad. Nolan Knows Best is a family comedy about trying to get out from under your dad’s shadow, while attempting to live up to his high expectations. Based on Firoozeh Dumas’ best-selling novel, Funny in Farsi, starring Jobrani, is a love letter to America that follows an Iranian family’s hilarious attempts to assimilate into the tanned, blond world of early ’70s Newport Beach, California.
