‘Samantha Who?’ Star Heading to Kelsey Grammer Sitcom
BySamantha Who? may not have made it past a sophomore season, but already former star Melissa McCarthy has lined up a new comedy-TV gig.
Entertainment Weekly scoops that the Gilmore Girls alumna is next set to appear in another ABC sitcom, the new Kelsey Grammer series Hank.
After describing the upcoming show as “painfully unfunny” (I wouldn’t know personally since I haven’t watched any clips yet), EW reports that McCarthy will have a recurring role portraying a character named Dawn, who just happens to be the sister-in-law of Grammer’s title character via marriage to his brother Grady (The Office’s David Koechner).
Unfunny or not, I’m glad McCarthy will still be around on the small screen next season. Maybe her presence will give the sitcom a much-needed boost if it does actually have problems in the laughs department.
