The King of Queens star Leah Remini and director Rob Schiller had a happy reunion on The Exes, TV Land’s original comedy series starring Donald Faison, Wayne Knight, David Alan Basche, and Kristen Johnston. Remini joined The Exes this season for a recurring role as Nicki, a “tough-talking, no-nonsense woman from Staten Island,” appearing in seven episodes of season three.
Emmy Award winner Rob Schiller directed 166 episodes of King of Queens and got to work closely with Remini again as the director of The Exes‘ season three finale airing February 26, 2014 at 10pm.
“Rob Schiller is one of the most talented directors in the industry and I’m happy and excited to be working with him again,” said Remini. “Rob exudes a quiet sense of confidence that enables him bring out the best from each one of us. He understands and respects both actors and writers, creating a masterfully collaborative and fun environment that everyone enjoys.”
Season three of The Exes has been averaging 1.3 million viewers and has been picked up for a fourth season set to premiere this summer.
The Exes Plot: The Exes revolves around three divorced men: Ladies’ man Phil (Faison), homebody Haskell (Knight) and newly single — and needy — Stuart (Basche). The men live together in an apartment across the hall from their divorce attorney, Holly (Johnston), who also happens to be their landlord. Holly avoids her own relationship and commitment issues by becoming immersed in the men’s affairs as they put their lives back together and return to the dating scene.
