THE CONNERS is getting a dose of mama drama when Candice Bergen guest stars on the ABC comedy as Ben’s (Jay R. Ferguson) mother, Barb.

The character is described as having a “superior air and a sharp tongue, but she’s much more agreeable when she’s had a few drinks. She’s judgmental about Ben’s relationship with [Sara Gilbert’s] Darlene, and describes the Conner house as, ‘Like one of those places they break into on that program COPS.'”

Bergen, whose TV credits include MURPHY BROWN, BOSTON LEGAL, and HOUSE, will make her debut on the series on Wednesday, January 13.
