TAKE THAT...TAKE THAT!...DIDDY TO PRODUCE ABC COMEDY "THE HUSTLE" INSPIRED BY HIS ASSISTANT

Following the likes of 50 cents, Sean “Puff Daddy Combs” is now venturing into scripted programming, due to him producing a new comedy on ABC entitled, “The Hustle”. He is currently teaming up with ABC to produce a comedy based on his assistant’s life.

It chronicles the real life events of Diddy’s right hand woman, as she lands a job working as an assistant to a street-educated billionaire , where she is immersed into the life of lavishness, adventure, and extravagance.

This is Diddy’s first attempt at scripted television. If the show moves forward, viewers will get a feel for the fish-out-of-water experience of an unassuming girl thrown into a superstar world of fast-paced decadence. 

Sarah Snedeker inspires The Hustle

And, talk about moving up the ranks! Diddy’s assistant-turned-Revolt Films exec, Sarah Snedeker, will serve as producer and consultant on the comedy. It’s always nice when a powerhouse promotes from within and shows appreciation for those who work so hard for him.

Diddy will serve as executive producer of The Hustle along with writer/director Jeremy Garelick (The Wedding Ringer, The Break-Up), and Stacey Harman (ABC’s The Goldbergs). Garelick and Harman will co-pen the pilot script and Garelick will also direct if the project moves to pilot.

On another note, there’s a clear-cut theme in Diddy’s work these days. News of The Hustle hits the day after the release of his new single Workin.
