Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has signed on to be an executive producer of a new sitcom for the FX cable network. According to Deadline, the show will star comedian Dana Gould and will focus on a rock band that's about to become superstars but seeks therapy to avoid breaking up a la Metallica. The catch is that the therapist they enlist hates people and is on the brink of getting a divorce herself. Gould will write the series as well, and enlisted Grohl to come on board because he is a fan of Grohl's music and because the former Nirvana drummer is known as a funny guy himself.
Grohl is no big fan of band therapy, telling NME.com a while back, "I believe one of the reasons (Foo Fighters have) managed to stay together (is) because we just don't tell each other everything."
Gould previously wrote a 2010 pilot for ABC called Nolan Knows Best.
Foo Fighters have several big events coming up on their calendar. On February 10th, the band will join James Taylor, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Coldplay and others honoring Paul McCartney as the 2012 MusiCares Person of the Year at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
Two nights later, the Foos will perform at the Grammy Awards, also in Los Angeles, where the band is nominated for six trophies.
Then on February 15th, Foo Fighters will perform at a fundraising concert for President Barack Obama's re-election campaign in Holmby Hills, California.
