Gold, to a scientist Solution on page 2 CoverStory By Jay Bobbin © Zap2it If one were to pose Joey Tribbiani's trademark question — "How you doin'?" — to Matt LeBlanc these days, the response would have to be, "Pretty good." Not long after finishing work his Showtime series "Episodes" (with the fifth and final season being shown next year), the "Friends" alum not only has re-upped to host the next two seasons of the BBC and BBC America car show "Top Gear," he's returning to primetime sit- com work. Premiering Monday, Oct. 24, CBS' "Man With a Plan" casts him as a contractor who becomes a Mr. Mom when his wife (former "Yes, Dear" co-star Liza Snyder) goes back to work. Over- whelmed at first, he even- tually comes up with a plan to handle their three children (Grace Kaufman, Matthew McCann, Hala Finley), sometimes with the attempted help of his brother and business partner ("Saturday Night Live" and "Weeds" veter- an Kevin Nealon). LeBlanc is in familiar hands as "Man With a Plan" starts, since he's directed by tele- vision-comedy legend James Burrows, who also guided "Friends" episodes including the very first one. The actor says he wanted to return to that format "because I have a family, and the hours are shorter. I like the sort of work week on a multicam (multi-camera comedy). You rehearse all week, then you shoot in front of an audience, like a play. It's like being part of an ensemble theater com- pany." The concept by mar- ried series creators and executive producers Jackie and Jeff Filgo ("That '70s Show") ap- pealed to LeBlanc from the start. "We had in com- mon that we wanted to do something in the same sort of arena," he says, "a family show. I felt like I'm not getting any younger, and I am a parent, so I wanted to explore what that would be like as a character. And they wrote a great script, and I re- sponded to it. And then we started talking more, and here we are." Matt LeBlanc stars in "Man With a Plan," premiering Monday on CBS.
