Writer and producer Gavin Purcell has signed an overall deal at Universal Television for both scripted and unscripted programming.
The deal marks a homecoming of sorts for Purcell, who previously worked as a producer and writer on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” helping the show win the Emmy in 2015 for social TV experience and in 2014 for outstanding interactive program.
