“Saturday Night Live“ alum takes role on new single-camera, midseason show

Horatio Sanz has signed on to ABC’s midseason comedy "In the Motherhood," The Hollywood Reporter says.

"In the Motherhood" is based on the MindShare online series starring Chelsea Handler, Leah Remini and Jenny McCarthy. The three play mothers and girlfriends whose experiences are based on the real-life stories of American moms.

The ABC show will star Megan Mullally and Cheryl Hines. Handler had been approached about reprising her role, but scheduling conflicts with her talk show on E! prevented her from joining the cast.

Sanz will play Horatio, the stay-at-home father of Mullally’s character Megan’s granddaughter. He is struggling to raise the young girl after the mother left them.

Since his departure from "Saturday Night Live" in 2006, Sanz has taken small roles in the Will Ferrell comedy "Step Brothers" and the upcoming "Hollywood & Wine." He has also performed with the Upright Citizens Brigade, a comedy group founded by fellow "SNL" alumna Amy Poehler and others.

SNL's gone a little bit country

Singer/actor Tim MacGraw will host tomorrow night's episode of Saturday Night Live. MacGraw's latest project, Four Chirstmases, starring Vince Vaughan and Reese Whitherspoon, will be out in theaters next week.

Tim McGraw says he expects to be nervous as the host of the Saturday Night Live episode airing Saturday (Nov. 22) on NBC. "So far now, it's fun," McGraw told CMT Insider this week during rehearsals in New York City. "I'm sure my nerves will get bundled up a little bit when the day comes, but the guys are great. All the cast and the people working on the show make it really as easy for you as they can, but there's a certain 'scared-ness' that comes with doing live stuff." This is his first time hosting the comedy series. "The history that's involved with Saturday Night Live is pretty special to be a part of," he said. "As an artist, it's pretty special to be on here just to sing, but to be on as host and be involved in the skits -- and a lot of skits -- is a pretty cool thing. You just gotta trust everybody and kinda do your thing." McGraw's SNL appearance coincides with the release of his new movie, Four Christmases, starring Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon.
