SNL favourite playing Jane Turner’s role on new sitcom
I swear, a couple of months back, I was joking to someone that Molly Shannon would probably be cast in the American version of “Kath & Kim” – it just seemed like your classically derivative casting decision.
And what do ya know? The Hollywood Reporter has just announced that the former “Saturday Night Live” star will indeed play ‘Kath’ in a U.S version of the hit Aussie sitcom “Kath & Kim”.
Casting the title characters has been considered crucial to the success of the show. When the project was first picked up to pilot by NBC in January, it was pushed to summer because of difficulties casting the leads, says the trade. Nobody has been cast as Kim yet.
