According to the Inside Track on the Boston Herald, Jimmy Buffett is working on a television show. The article interviews Mike O’Malley (pictured right in “My Own Worst Enemy), former star of the sitcom “Yes, Dear” and current star of the short-lived NBC series “My Own Worst Enemy.”

Now that he has some time on his hands, O’Malley said he’s hoping to get back to New England and catch a Patriots [team stats] game and is once again scheduled to emcee Theo Epstein’s “Hot Stove, Cool Music” show at The Paradise on Jan. 10.

O’Malley’s also working with Jimmy Buffett on a TV show based on the characters the “Margaritaville” main man sings about.

“We’ve been out to a few networks and hope to have a commitment by Christmas,” he said.
