American Idol loser Constantine Maroulis has signed up to star in an ABC sitcom, People magazine reports.

The as yet unnamed show is being produced by Kelsey Grammer's company, Maroulis told People.

Maroulis, 30, who finished in sixth place last season, says Idol was the best thing that's ever happened to him and so was losing.
