SOURCES CONFIRM: Ashton Kutcher Will Join 'Two and a Half Men'
Edited on Thu May-12-11 08:36 PM by Skip Intro
Yeah, I know it isn't political or really even important in the grand scheme of things, still...

-----------------------
The actor is putting final touches on a deal to replace Charlie Sheen on television's No. 1 comedy.
Ashton Kutcher appears to have won the Two and a Half Men sweepstakes.
OUR EDITOR RECOMMENDS

'Two and a Half Men' Seeking Sheen Replacement as CBS, Warner Bros. Agree to Split Cost

Chuck Lorre Hatches 'Two and a Half Men' Reboot Without Charlie Sheen (Exclusive)

Charlie Sheen Fired From 'Two and a Half Men'
Two sources close to the deal-making tell The Hollywood Reporter that the actor is putting the final touches on a deal to replace Charlie Sheen as the star of TV’s No. 1 comedy. CBS, studio Warner Bros. and Kutcher’s reps at CAA declined to comment on the situation but a deal is said to be all but signed. The exact dollar figure he will be paid is not known but a source says Kutcher is getting a “huge payday” to join the hit sitcom.

I can't imagine chemistry b/n Kutcher and Cryer. Or the kid.

4. YUCK. No thanks. Bring back Charlie Sheen or even better,
just cancel the show. It had a good run, just end it.

This is like keeping The Office going with Steve Carrell gone.

10. Watch the British version of The Office. After watching the British version, you won't find the
American version that funny, anymore. At least I didn't.

15. People say that, but I've actually liked the American Office more.
Edited on Thu May-12-11 09:12 PM by NYC Liberal
At least, I did for the first 3 seasons. (Not that the original Office *wasn't* funny!)

There've been several points where they should have ended it though. Now it's getting ridiculous.

5. OK, so this is the complete and total idiot who lives down the street..
from my friends in Austin?

The one who married the idiot wife of the Other Idiot (Bruce-whoever, who may have a triple-digit IQ).

Our country (the one who made Roseanne Barr a household name) fully deserves whatever Fresh Hell should befall it..

Good fucking luck,

Sonoman

7. I was actually pulling for John Stamos. He's been great on Glee.

8. If Entourage hires Sheen like they want, he will be the one winning.
They should have let the Herb character leave Judith and move in with Alan. They then could have claimed Charlie was in rehab and finished the last year of the show. This is terrible casting.

9. Kutcher is too young. What happened to Hugh Grant?
Hugh Grant would have been delightful.

12. Agreed.
I was looking forward to Grant who would have been perfect. Kutcher sucks. In every way.

14. Perfect!
A show I've never had the slightest desire to watch now starring an "actor" I have no earthly use for.

What's on A&E in that time slot?

17. They should have just shitcanned it
Love him or hate him, what made the show work was that Charlie Sheen basically played the role of himself. I can't see anybody else doing that.

21. I'm willing to give him a chance.
I don't think he was anywhere near the best choice, but he might surprise us all.
