SMASH’s Megan Hilty Joins New NBC Sitcom SEAN SAVES THE WORLD

SMASH’s Megan Hilty might have been singing just this past weekend about her unemployment (thanks to NBC canceling her show), but as it turns out, she’ll now need to be singing another tune: a source confirms Hilty has joined the new NBC sitcom SEAN SAVES THE WORLD as a series regular.  (TVLine was first to report the casting.)

Hilty’s new role also serves as a SMASH mini-reunion, as she’ll be playing BFF/co-worker to her former SMASH cohort Sean Hayes in the new sitcom. (Her role was played by Lindsay Sloane in the original pilot.) SEAN SAVES THE WORLD also stars Thomas Lennon (RENO 911) and Echo Kellum (BEN AND KATE).

Does Hilty’s involvement make you more excited for SEAN SAVES THE WORLD?
