The Young and the Restless has turned into a bit of Make-A-Wish Foundation for celebrities by casting Community and The Odd Couple star Yvette Nicole Brown for an upcoming guest stint as a reporter.
The actress tells TV Line that she has practically died and gone to heaven over being called to Genoa City. "The people at CBS found out that I'm a freakin' fangirl," Brown explains. "And they were like, 'Do you want to go to Genoa City?' And I'm like, 'Um, yeah.' It was probably one of the most exciting calls I have ever received."
As for what GC shenanigans she'll be getting herself into, Brown says all she knows is, "something is happening with Jack [Peter Bergman], Billy [Jason Thompson] and Phyllis [Gina Tognoni] that's a big deal and I'm reporting on it."
Brown will be taping her scenes this week and debuting on Y&R on Monday, April 4 -- which, coincidentally, is the same week the second season of The Odd Couple returns to CBS, which it will do on Thursday, April 7, at 8:30/7:30c.
