TVLine is reporting that John Ratzenberger (Cheers) is slated to guest star on upcoming CBS family comedy The McCarthys. He’ll be playing Charles Ellis, the athletic director at the high school where McCarthy patriarch Arthur (Jack McGee) coaches basketball, and will potentially recur.

Created by Brian Gallivan (Happy Endings), The McCarthys follows a sports-obsessed Bostonian family fronted by worrywart Marjorie (Laurie Metcalf) and gruff Arthur. Unusually close, the family gets a shock when son Ronny (Tyler Ritter) floats the idea of moving to Rhode Island in order to take a new job, but will they be able to convince him to stay around Boston? The series also stars Joey McIntyre (The Hotwives of Orlando), Jimmy Dunn (Stuck on You), and Kelen Coleman (The Newsroom).

In addition to his role on the NBC comedy, Ratzenberger has appeared on the likes of Melissa & Joey, Legit, and Bones. He joins a guest cast that includes Jessica St. Clair (Playing House), who will be appearing as a love interest to one of the McCarthy brothers.

The McCarthys is set to premiere Thursday, October 30th at 9:30 on CBS.

According to The Wrap, Playing House star/co-creator Jessica St. Clair has signed on for a recurring arc on upcoming CBS comedy The McCarthys. She’ll be playing Katrina, described as a loose cannon with zero self-awareness and a character who will act as a love interest for Joey McIntyre’s character. Katrina is slated to make her first appearance in the lives of the McCarthy family in the fourth episode of the series.

Created by Brian Gallivan (Happy Endings), The McCarthys follows a sports-obsessed Boston family whose dynamic gets thrown for a loop when their patriarch Arthur (Jack McGee) taps gay son Ronny (Tyson Ritter) as the next assistant coach for the high school basketball team he coaches. The series also stars McIntyre (The Hotwives of Orlando), Laurie Metcalf (Getting On), Kelen Coleman (The Newsroom), and Jimmy Dunn (Stuck on You).

In addition to her role on the USA comedy, whose fate is as yet undetermined some three months after its season finale, St. Clair has appeared on the likes of Veep, Best Friends Forever, and Review.

The McCarthys is set to premiere Thursday, October 30th at 9:30 on CBS. You can check out a behind the scenes look at the comedy below.
