“We are extremely proud of Superstore, which is one of the smartest and funniest comedies on television today,” said Jennifer Salke, the president of  NBC Entertainment. “Through the show’s expertly drawn characters, our producers and cast do a remarkable job touching on many issues in which audiences can relate. To its credit, not only does Superstore make us laugh, but it makes us think as well.”
