Shaquille O'Neal, Ken Jeong Will Star in New Unscripted Pilot for TBS

Variety reports that TBS commissioned pilot for an unscripted series with Shaquille O'Neal and Ken Jeong.

The show will reportedly be titled "Unqualified." O'Neal and Jeong will team up to try out some odd jobs, including patrolling malls as rent-a-cops, substitute teaching kindergarten, train conducting, and performing as party clowns.

The basketball legend and comedian appeared together on the TBS series "Drop the Mic" earlier this year. They faced off in a rap battle.

"These guys made magic on 'Drop The Mic' together. Their chemistry is undeniable." said Michael Bloom, senior vice president of unscripted and specials for TBS and TNT. "And no DOUBT that magic will extend to the unwitting people who expect anything to get done when they show up."

"We are built to hustle." said O'Neal and Jeong. "We're thankful to TBS for giving us the opportunity to embrace any challenge that comes our way and we hope to surprise everyone with our ability to learn the ropes on the fly."
