FOX’s new sitcom The Cool Kids is about four friends who live in the same retirement community. The four rowdy characters are in the hands of four master comedic actors. David Alan Grier (The Carmichael Show, In Living Color) plays Hank; Martin Mull (Roseanne, Two and a Half Men) plays Charlie; Vicki Lawrence (The Carol Burnett Show, Mama’s Family) plays Margaret; and Leslie Jordan (Will & Grace) plays Sid.
On the premiere episode, a character named Dudley shows up and steals the scene. Dudley is portrayed by Jamie Farr, who’s best known for his role as cross-dressing solider Maxwell Klinger on M*A*S*H*. Fun fact: the 84-year-old actor was born Jameel Joseph Farah in Toledo, Ohio in 1934. He is currently the oldest surviving cast member of M*A*S*H. The Cool Kids airs Fridays at 8:30 pm on FOX, right before Hell’s Kitchen Season 18 (Veterans vs. Rookies).
