JEFFERSON PARK — A Jefferson Park comic and radio host has inked a deal to create a sitcom based on her life as a Mexican-American working mother.

Patti Vasquez called achieving her long-time goal of successfully selling a television show about her "wonderful and crazy" family "almost as good as the Cubs going to the World Series — almost," in a Facebook post Friday.

As first reported by Deadline.com, the show — with a working title of "The Better Half" — centers on a Mexican-American working mother "who is a well-intentioned and sometimes-misguided citizen disrupter."

Vasquez, who hosts "Pretty Late" on WGN-FM weeknights from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m., may star in the show, according to the report.

The character based on Vasquez "tackles the small and large injustices around her for the greater good, even though many times no one asks her to. Her well-meaning actions create consequences that affect her career, community and home life in the crowded Chicago brownstone she shares with her parents, husband and children," according to Deadline's decription of the show.

Much of Vasquez' comedy revolves around her two sons, Griffin and Declan, the latter of whom has special needs. Her life was the subject of a reality show on the Oprah Winfrey Network that aired earlier this year.

Vasquez is set to write the pilot for the show with Emilia Serrano, who will also co-executive produce the show. Serrano worked on another show about a Latina comic — Cristela Alonzo’s "Cristela" — that was canceled after one season.

"Everything I do is for my boys so fingers crossed on this one," Vasquez said on Facebook.
