Whew! That was fast!
Not two weeks after Fox canceled his latest sitcom, the entertaining broadcast-news series Back to You, star Kelsey Grammer has already lined up another comedy-TV gig.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Grammer has just joined the cast of ABC’s Roman’s Empire … as the lead title character! Talent like Grammer’s cannot be denied, so what in the world was Fox thinking? (Hint: money)
The ABC single-camera sitcom — a departure for Grammer from his previous multi-camera shows Cheers, Frasier, and Back to You — is about a nice guy who gets dumped by his rich girlfriend but then can’t get away from her family, which is helmed by her colorful father Roman Pretty (Grammer).
A final detail of note concerns Ashton Kutcher, who is co-executive producing the new series.
