“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.
