TVGuide.com reports exclusively that Ed Asner will make a guest starring appearance on the new CBS comedy THE CRAZY ONES.

The 'Lou Grant' star will appear in the episode titled "The Stan Wood Account," and will portray Glen "Mr. Finger" Hastings, described as "a commercial actor whom Sydney (Sarah Michelle Gellar) finds charming." An airdate for the episode has not been disclosed.

The actor, who was last seen on Broadway in 'Grace' opposite Paul Rudd, has made recent guest TV appearances
on The Glades, Law & Order: SVU and Hawaii Five-0.

About THE CRAZY ONES

Academy Award winner Robin Williams returns to series television in THE CRAZY ONES, a single-camera workplace comedy about a larger-than-life advertising genius whose unorthodox methods and unpredictable behavior would get him fired... if he weren't the boss. Simon Roberts is the head of a powerful agency, with the biggest clients and brands in the world, but even more important to him is having his daughter Sydney by his side.

As his partner, Sydney is Simon's exact opposite - focused, organized and eager to make a name for herself, but also too busy parenting her father, which she'd resent if he wasn't so brilliant at what he does. Joining them in the firm are the dashing and talented Zach; art director Andrew, who's as hard-working as he is neurotic; and the beautiful and deceptively smart assistant Lauren. With his team and his daughter behind him, Simon continues to set the advertising world on fire, and it looks like they are definitely buying what these crazy ones are selling.

The series airs Thursdays (9:00-9:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Network.
