T2 WHATS UP! November 25 - December 1, 2018 Winston and show creators Tim McAuliffe ("The Office") and Austen Earl ("9JKL"). Mi- chael Rotenberg ("King of the Hill") and Jonathan Berry ("Insecure") also serve as ex- ecutive producers of the new CBS comedy. So far, ratings for the series have been modest but fairly steady, with more than four million loyal viewers regularly tuning in. That's no small feat, given the competition. "Happy Together" has held its own against such series as ABC's ratings juggernaut "Dancing with the Stars," Fox's medical drama "The Resident" and NBC's reality TV hit "The Voice." With such an unlikely prem- ise, the series was initially on shaky ground, but it has man- aged to find its footing since premiering in early October. Much of the show's appeal is thanks to the comedic chemis- try between its three stars. Wayans, Stevens West and Mallard have been praised for their timing and delivery as the trio of housemates. Both Wayans and Stevens West have been rising through the ranks of American television for years. Australian actor Mallard may be a fresh face to American viewers, but in his homeland he's well known for his work on the Australian soap opera "Neighbours." The show's supporting cast includes Stephnie Weir ("MADtv") as Claire's mother, Bonnie, a retired doctor. Vic- tor Williams ("The King of Queens") portrays Claire's fa- ther, Gerald, a role that was originally supposed to be played by Tim Meadows ("Sat- urday Night Live"), who had to leave the project because of other commitments. Gerald, too, is a retired doctor. Chris Parnell ("Saturday Night Live") co-stars as Cooper's agent, Wayne. So far, "Happy Together" is amassing an impressive list of guest stars with late night host James Corden appearing as himself in the show's pilot, along with Disney darling Peyton List ("Jessie") as Coo- per's ex-girlfriend, vapid celeb Damon Wayans Jr., Amber Stevens West and Felix Mallard star in "Happy Together" continued on page T10 TV FEATURE A/Health Initiatives 2 x 5 Have you or a loved one been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease?
