Saturday Night Live alumna Molly Shannon is set to star as Kath in Kath & Kim, NBC's pilot adapted from an Australian comedy. The role of the daughter has yet to be cast, says the Reporter.... Sopranos shrink Lorraine Bracco has joined the Lifetime pilot Long Island Confidential, playing mom to a female detective (Alison Elliott).... Law & Order: SVU star Ice-T's real-life (and astoundingly proportioned) wife, Coco, will play the widow of a dead wrestler in an upcoming episode of the Peacock procedural, says the New York Daily News.

Lorraine Bracco playing the mom when just a few years ago, she'd have been playing the detective... guess that naked play she was in did nothing for her, but get her cast in the "Mom" role...

ouch, that's gotta hurt...

Hadn't we just heard about Molly Shannon joining the cast of another show? I thought I read something about her recently in the Ausiello Report (plug, plug!) Unless maybe this Kim & Kath show is what he mentioned...my memory is just not the same as it used to be....

It will be good to see her back on television - the more Molly the better!
