Hoffman will portray ‘Frances’, described as “David’s sometimes smothering mom” who “adores her only child and is thrilled to learn she is going to be grandma. However, she and Bryan (Rannells) don’t always see eye to eye, though the two will attempt to work things out now that a baby is on the way.”

• The Hollywood Reporter: If you weren't starring on this show, what show would you want to be on?
• Rannells: I'm going be obvious: I'd want to be Jon Hamm on Mad Men.
• Bartha: Can I say it, too? (Laughing) I would like to be Elisabeth Moss because then I get to act opposite Andrew Rannells.
