Eugenio Derbez & Cheech Marin Join New Rob Schneider Sitcom

By Michael Lopez

Talk about art mirroring life. Earlier in the year, comedian Rob Schneider married gorgeous Latina Patricia Azarcoya Arce. And on his upcoming CBS sitcom, Rob will play a guy married to (you guessed it) a gorgeous Latina. But in the TV world, Schneider will have some Tr3s faves helping him score laughs, namely Eugenio Derbez and Cheech Marin!

Eugenio is actually no stranger to Rob's comedy crew. He recently wrapped a role in Adam Sandler's movie Jack & Jill and will reportedly play Schneider's uncle-in-law on the show. Cheech will be the father of the bride, which could make things very interesting.

Still untitled, the sitcom will premiere by mid-season and is being produced by Rob and his brother John. And be sure to keep an eye out for sexy newcomer Claudia Bassols, she'll be playing Mrs. Schneider on the series.

So far CBS has green lit eight episodes, with more coming if the show proves to be a hit. Let's hope they give it that coveted time slot right after Ashton Kutcher's Two and a Half Men!
