RAISING HOPE: Star Lucas Neff Tells Us Why We Should Watch

RAISING HOPE debuts tonight after GLEE and Fox has gone all out to promote the show.

The series follows Jimmy, a young man unexpectedly raising his baby daughter, the result of a one-night stand (with a wanted serial killer who ends up on death row).

Whoops.

Luckily for Jimmy, he has the help of his mom and dad — who were young parents as well, popping him out at 15 — and his occasionally lucid grandmother — played by the glorious Cloris Leachman — but there are definitely struggles in raising Hope.

I mean, let’s face it, taking care of a baby is hard.

Fox, taking full advantage of this notion, decided to host a “Daddy Decathalon” at The Grove — a popular outdoor shopping center in L.A. — where contestants braved an obstacle-course of baby-related tasks. It was pretty funny to watch. And yes, we captured it on video for your enjoyment.

The cast of RAISING HOPE was on-hand to observe the event and we scored some one-on-one time with leading man Lucas Neff. To hear why he thinks people should be tuning into tonight’s premiere, take a look…
