After gracing Emmy-nominated
Pushing Daisyies, David Arquette looks like he is making a rounds at the local series circuit as recently landed not just any guest appearance on the series
My Name is Earl, but something that as early as now is being touted as what could be
My Name Is Earl's funniest karmic-redemption subject yet, still revolving around the premise of making up for all the bad things he has done in the past.
According to sources, Arquette's character, Johnny, is a small-town Evel Knievel-esque stuntman whom Earl wants to cross off his list for sleeping with his girlfriend. The catch: Johnny suffers from short-term memory issues.
Not too long ago, Arquette, who married
Friends alumna and herself bound for a guest appearance on
Scrubs, has signed on to guest star on the fourth season of ABC's
Pushing Daisies in an episode called "Freschcorts" where, according to creator Bryan Fuller, the episode followed a murder investigation that saw Ned encountering the socially awkward Randy Mann, who has a secret, special talent that unexpectedly bonds him to the Pie-Maker.
Best known for his sting on the
Scream movie trilogy, Arquette belongs to a famed family of actors. He bagged several roles prior to
Pushing Daisies and
My Name is Earl, such as
Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Beverly Hills 90210, and the movies
Never Been Kissed,
Eight-Legged Freaks, and
Airheads. Arquette also dabbled in professional wrestling, even winning the top title of World Heavyweight Championship.
My Name is Earl is an Emmy Award-winning series returns on September 25 on NBC. Previously, Earl (
Jason Lee) managed to get ouf of jail and married, only to realize that that live is not for him. It also stars
Ethan Suplee,
Jaime Pressly,
Eddie Steeples, and
Nadine Velazquez.
