Californication actress could leave Showtime for CBS sitcom

If things go Pamela Adlon’s way, Hank and Charlie won’t have Marcy Runkle to kick around much longer on Californication.

Adlon has been cast opposite Adam Carolla in the pilot of a CBS family comedy called Ace in the Hole, The Hollywood Reporter says.

If the pilot gets picked up Adlon will leave Californication, where she’s played the long-suffering (and hilariously coke-addicted) wife of Evan Handler’s literary agent, Charlie, for three seasons.

In the CBS project she’ll play the long-suffering wife of Carolla’s character, a father of two who works as a driving instructor. Her character will be a nurse.

Adlon’s other credits include providing the voice of Bobby Hill on King of the Hill since 1997, appearing on Boston Legal and guest starring on Monk.

She also played Kim, the wife of Louis CK’s slacker husband character on Lucky Louie, the raunchy — and short-lived — experimental sitcom on HBO.
