After his shocking announcement to exit Fox's 'Lethal Weapon', actor Damon Wayans is reportedly set to appear on CBS' 'Happy Together'. The 58-year-old actor will be starring alongside his son Damon Wayans Jr. in the new sitcom and get this - he will be playing his dad. The show, that airs on October 29, will feature Wayans Jr as Jake and Wayans as Mike. The series follows a young couple whose lives are suddenly thrown into chaos when a famous pop star moves into their home.

The two will be seen in an episode called 'Like Father Like Son' where Mike decides to visit Jake and this strains Jake a little - who is also simultaneously working to keep things great with his wife Claire, played by Amber Stevens West. This episode also features another dad, Shadoe Stevens (West's father), who has taken a voice-over role.
