Press release (partial) here:

*****     *****     *****     *****     *****     *****     *****     *****

CBS and Warner Bros. Television announced today that Ashton Kutcher will join the cast of the hit comedy, TWO AND A HALF MEN.

The multi-talented Kutcher, whose success spans film, television and social media, will join Jon Cryer, Angus T. Jones, Holland Taylor, Marin Hinkle and Conchata Ferrell on the top-rated series.  Production on the ninth season of the Emmy Award-nominated TWO AND A HALF MEN will begin this summer for broadcast on the CBS Television Network in the fall.

“I can’t wait to get to work with this ridiculously talented 2.5 team and I believe we can fill the stage with laughter that will echo in viewers’ homes,” said Kutcher.  “I can’t replace Charlie Sheen but I’m going to work my ass off to entertain the hell out of people!”

“We are so lucky to have someone as talented, joyful and just plain remarkable as Ashton joining our family,” said Chuck Lorre, creator and executive producer of TWO AND A HALF MEN.  “Added to that is the deep sigh of relief knowing that our family stays together.  If I was any happier, it’d be illegal.”

“Ashton is a pop culture triple threat—film star, cutting-edge producer and a social media pioneer,” said Nina Tassler, President, CBS Entertainment.  “He brings creativity, energy and personality to everything he touches.  We are thrilled to have him, and excited beyond words for what he brings to the next season of TWO AND A HALF MEN.”

“Ashton Kutcher brings a new and distinctive comedic flavor to ‘Two and a Half Men,’” said Peter Roth, President, Warner Bros. Television.  “He is a big-time talent whose unique style will blend seamlessly with Jon Cryer, Angus T. Jones and the rest of this terrific ensemble.  We look forward to a great future for this revamped and reenergized show, helmed as always by the extraordinary Chuck Lorre, whose creative skills and consummate professionalism make him the best in the business.”

    Maybe if Charlie Sheen was taking his meds he’d still be cast in Two and a half men. OTOH perhaps he subconsciously wanted out so he could be “winning” I wish Ashton Kutcher success in his role in the TVseries. BTW I really dig that sexy smile of him from the “Getty Images” photo. That haircut’s got to go. He It kinds of reminds me of Moe of the 3 Stooges. At any rate I wish him well on the TV series.

    LOVE Ashton Kutcher! Can’t wait to see “Men”….and I really never paid much attention to it before! Come on people……let’s watch the new “Men” by the thousands and prove to Charlie that he is not winning, he does not have tigerblood and he is definitely not God’s gift to prime time television.
