George Clooney's production house Smoke House will make their half-hour comedy script, "The Fall of Bob" with Showtime.

The show will follow the lead character, Bob, as he narrates his life through flashbacks.

According to Variety, the Danny Zuker ("Stacked") penned script is a noir single-camera comedy that revolves around a man whose life flashes before his eyes as he jumps off a building.


"Bob" will in voice-over narrate his life through a series of flashbacks.

Showtime also greenlit the Steven Spielberg-produced, Diablo Cody scripted, "United States of Tara," and  "The End of Steve," from Matthew Perry and "Rescue Me's" Peter Tolan.

Smoke House reportedly is also developing a smallscreen cop drama "Delta Blues" for TNT.
