Mindy Kaling may have left 'The Office' behind a little earlier than some of her former co-stars, but these days it seems like every 'Office' star has a future sitcom lined up once the show ends its nine-year run.

Something told us that his recent resurgence in popularity with the Lonely Island's "Jack Sparrow" and even the recent guest spot on 'Two and a Half Men' wouldn't be the last we've heard of Michael Bolton. Indeed, it seems the legendary singer may soon have his own show on ABC, or at the very least, his daughter will, as development has begun on 'Michael Bolton's Daughter is Destroying My Life.' The title more or less spells out whom Bolton might play, but what else would the series follow?
