Omaha-native comedian Amber Ruffin, a Benson High grad, will set her new single-camera comedy at a newspaper in the town of Benson.

According to Deadline, NBC has ordered a pilot for “Village Gazette,” in which Ruffin will star as Amber, editor of the Benson Village Gazette. Amber is partial to fluffy features that highlight the inherent goodness of her hometown. But “when the newspaper owners hire a reporter who’s looking to uncover a juicy story in Benson, he threatens to unravel the happy denial Amber has been living in.”

It’s unclear where in the country the town of Benson will be located or to what degree it will reflect Ruffin’s own hometown. Ruffin could not be reached for comment, but we hope to clarify this with her at some point.

Ruffin wrote the pilot with “Saturday Night Live” writer Shelly Gossman. “Village Gazette” is being co-produced by Seth Meyers and Mike Shoemaker’s Sethmaker Shoemakers Productions, Lorne Michaels’ Broadway Video and Universal TV.
