According to Deadline, as part of Rae’s 2016 first look producing deal with the network, Rae, along side former ‘Daily Show’ writer, Travon Free, will be producing a new comedy, titled, “Him or Her.” The show will be produced as a single camera, half-hour series about the dating life of a bisexual black man. Free will serve as the writer for the series while Deniese Davis will executive produce, alongside Rae.
