Cedric the Entertainer is set to star in and executive produce the CBS multi-camera comedy pilot "Welcome to the Neighborhood".
The project follows the nicest guy in the Midwest, who moves his family into a tough neighbourhood in LA where not everyone appreciates his extreme neighbourliness. The show was formerly known as "Here Comes the Neighborhood".
Cedric whose real name is Cedric Antonio Kyles, will play Calvin, the next door neighbour to the Johnson family, whom he regards with disdain and as a pack of interlopers, reported Variety.
Jim Reynolds will write and executive produce the pilot.
