According to Variety, NBC has just picked up two more comedy pilots. The first is from Ellen DeGeneres' A Very Good Production banner, set to star PARENTHOOD's Monica Potter, and the second is produced by TONIGHT SHOW host Jimmy Fallon.

Potter will lead and produce an untitled comedy that centers on "a woman, juggling a busy family life and three ex-husbands, who begins to date again." Sherry Bilsing-Graham and Ellen Kreamer co-wrote the script.

SHARING follows "disparate groups of people who work side-by-side in a shared office space." The pilot is penned by Jeremy Bronson, who also executive produces with Fallon, Rick Schwartz and Damian Lanigan.

Aside from Parenthood, Potter has starred on TV in Trust Me and Boston Legal. Fallon previously produced the series Guys with Kids and has appeared on TV in SNL, 30 Rock and more.
