Leah Remini won’t be taking a vacation after showing off her moves on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars as she’s just signed on for a guest starring stint on TV Land’s The Exes. Remini (King of Queens) will have a multi-episode arc on the sitcom starring David Alan Basche, Donald Faison, Wayne Knight, and Kristen Johnston.
According to the official announcement, Remini will be playing Stuart’s sister Nicki who is described as “a tough-talking, no-nonsense, stylish and sexy woman from Staten Island whose 17-year marriage ends when she finds out her policeman husband had an affair. Nicki retreats to Manhattan to seek the comfort of her brother, only to find out he’s sharing an apartment with two guys, Phil (Faison) and Haskell (Knight), and living next door to his divorce attorney Holly (Johnston).
Unable and unwilling to keep her opinions to herself, she turns all their lives upside down as she tries to put her life back together and make a new future for herself in Manhattan.”
The Exes returns to the lineup with new episodes on December 11, 2013 at 10:30pm ET/PT.
