Kristin Chenoweth will appear on the 10th season premiere of the TLC bridal series SAY YES TO THE DRESS. The show will air on Friday, August 16th at 9/8c.

In the season premiere, Chenoweth's assistant and best friend, Julie, is shedding her simple classic style for her boss's style and looking for a short dress with glitz and glamour for her second wedding gown. But when dress one falls flat with the entire crowd, Kristin takes control and finds what she thinks is the perfect gown for Julie, even modeling the dress herself for the bride-to-be. Unfortunately Julie isn't sold on the dress and Kristin's left wondering if Julie will ever find a dress that's out of her comfort zone. In the end, consultant Debbie finds a gown with a little bling and a full skirt, but will Julie say yes to her Kristin style gown?

The actress is set to star opposite Matthew Broderick in an upcoming CBS comedy pilot. She will soon be featured in the new Jane Lynch-hosted 'Hollywood Game Night' on NBC.
