Will Arnett’s going to be reuniting with his Arrested Development dad Jeffrey Tambor for an episode of CBS’ hit comedy series, The Millers. The Millers is one of the 2013-2014 primetime season’s most successful new shows, with Arnett playing the son of Beau Bridges and Margo Martindale.

The show airs on Thursdays at 8:30pm ET/PT and is, according to the network, the #1 new comedy of the season.

So, who will Tambor play? CBS offered this description: “In the episode, Nathan (Arnett) and Ray (J.B. Smoove) pitch their station owner, Ed Dolan (Tambor), a Saturday morning kids program inspired by Tom’s (Bridges) imagination.”

The Plot: The Millers stars Will Arnett as Nathan Miller, a recently divorced local roving news reporter looking forward to living the singles’ life until his parents’ marital problems unexpectedly derail his plans. After Nathan finally breaks the news of his divorce to his parents, Carol (Martindale) and Tom (Bridges), his father is inspired to follow suit and stuns the family when he leaves his wife of 43 years. Already in shock, Nathan is even more aghast when his meddlesome mom decides to move in with him.

Meanwhile, his absent-minded dad imposes upon Nathan’s sister, Debbie, her husband Adam and their daughter Mykayla (Eve Moon). Nathan’s best friend and news cameraman, Ray (Smoove), was excited to be Nathan’s wingman in the dating scene, but Carol manages to even cramp his style. Now, as Nathan and his sister settle in with their truly impossible parents, they both wonder just how long the aggravating adjustment period is going to last.
