Erinn Hayes agrees Kevin Can F**K Himself, joins AMC dramedy's second season
After the whole Kevin Can Wait debacle, Hayes is joining Kevin Can F**K Himself in a meta casting move
In a stealth casting move, AMC’s Kevin Can F**K Himself has cast Erinn Hayes in a guest role for its second season. Hayes, of course, was unceremoniously fired from the CBS sitcom Kevin Can Wait after only one season in 2017. She starred opposite Kevin James as his wife, and was let go without much explanation. Even her character’s death was poorly handled, essentially stirring up the debate about how disposable a “sitcom wife” is considered.
The whole debacle somewhat inspired Kevin Can F**K Himself, a dark comedy created by Valerie Armstrong. The show stars Schitt’s Creek breakout Annie Murphy as Allison McRoberts, who is deeply unhappy in her marriage to the forever goofy and jolly Kevin (Eric Petersen). All the scenes they share take place with a common multi-cam setup and fake laughter. However, when she exits the room or does anything not involving Kevin, Allison’s world becomes grimmer and darker.
