VIDEO: First Look at Josh Gad in NBC's 1600 PENN

NBC has released the first promo for its midseason comedy 1600 PENN starring Book of Mormon's Josh Gad. Described as "Modern Family" meets "The West Wing", the comedy is from executive producers Jason Winer ("Modern Family"), Gad and Jon Lovett (former White House speechwriter). The series will premiere on January 10 at 9:30/8:30c. Get a first look below!

1600 PENN NBC synopsis:

The Gilchrists are just the average American family dealing with all the everyday issues – like a grown kid who's forced to move back home, children who are smarter than their teachers and a stepmom (Jenna Elfman, "Dharma and Greg") desperately trying to win over the kids. They're loving, fun and a little crazy. In other words, just like everybody else. With one exception: they live in a very special house. The White House!

Whether it's entertaining foreign dignitaries, sneaking away for a night out, dealing with middle school crushes or putting out fires – figuratively and sometimes literally – there's never a dull moment in the Gilchrist White House. For example, the First Son (Josh Gad, star of Broadway sensation "The Book of Mormon") is one of the administration's biggest liabilities, but also the glue that holds this family together. The President (Bill Pullman, "Independence Day," "While You Were Sleeping") knows too well that the only thing harder than being Head of State is being head of the family. Also starring are Martha MacIsaac ("Superbad"), Andre Holland ("Friends with Benefits"), Amara Miller ("The Descendants") and Benjamin Stockham ("Sons of Tucson").
