My Name Is Earl star Jason Lee is reuniting with the show’s creator Greg Garcia on an upcoming episode of Garcia’s new series, Fox’s freshman comedy Raising Hope. Lee will guest star as Smokey Daniels, a washed-up rock star who is hired as the lead act at “Grocery-Palooza,” a rock concert at the supermarket where Sabrina (Shannon Woodward) works. Smokey was once Burt’s (Garret Dillahunt) musical idol, and Burt hopes to relive his rock-star years by playing backup for him at the concert. Lee now stars on TNT’s Memphis Beat, which was renewed for a second season. Raising Hope was recently picked up for a full season.

The only reason why they got Jason Lee was because they needed some star power to keep it afloat. The shows going to die at the end of the season.
Star power… that’s funny.
Love it. Bring Joy back too. That would be awesome to get some more of her.
I want to see Joy as Joy, not Jamie Pressly as some other character. She needs to reprise that role.
Like “Anonymous” I’m a bitter, bitter man with lots of time on my hands who wants everything to fail so I can feel better about myself. When will somebody love me?
