Ashton Kutcher is very excited about his new gig on Two and A Half Men.
Joining the established comedy after Charlie Sheen and the powers that be had their infamous public falling out, CBS presented the new cast at the Upfronts held in New York City yesterday with Kutcher, Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones.
There was no mention of Sheen by the network whatsoever, including a clip reel of past seasons of the show without Charlie.
Kutcher, for his new part, is feeling the love.
“I’ve never, probably in my 13 years of show business, received more emails or calls congratulating me about getting a new job. I almost think I won the lottery,” he said. “Which I kind of did.”
Nina Tassler, CBS entertainment president, welcomed Kutcher officially saying “Deep cleansing breathe. “Well, it’s been an educational few months for us. Thanks to a tweet … we all learned the square root of 6.25.”
“We could not be happier to actor, producer and multimedia mogul Ashton Kutcher joining the cast of ‘Two And a Half Men.’”
The network did not reveal any character information or how they planned to write Charlie Sheen’s character off the show.
