 The temporary stars ready coming on CMT's Working Class, starring Melissa Peterman . In the period since the exhibit debuted as the networks highest rated program entry ever, Peterman and company hit been visited by Ryan Stiles (Who's Line Is It, Anyways?), John Schneider (Dukes of Hazzard) and Reba McEntire (Peterman's frienemy on Reba). When program fivesome premieres Friday, Feb 18, comedic actress Kathy Kinney joins the ranks in an program titled, The Lunch Lady, playing...you guessed it, The Lunch Lady.

If you're old with Kinney's nine-year-run as Mimi Bobeck on The histrion Carey Show (1995-2004), you strength hit whatever intent of what to expect. Of course, as The Lunch Lady, Kinney won't be fair powder chromatic receptor shadow, fake lashes, a cotton-candy scolding or traffic-stopping fashions--all artist Mimi, instead she'll be clad in accepted supply edifice cafeteria foam gloves and a hairnet during most of her appearance. Something tells me, despite her more dark look, Kinney's  boisterous brand of in your face, no-holds-barred nutriment module be front and center.

As for Kinney, she's been keeping herself busy since The histrion Carey Show ended its successful run. In 2007, she prefabricated threesome temporary appearance as Officer Bowman on NBC's My Name is peer during digit of the series' funniest storylines, involving peer and the gang attending on two episodes of FOX's Cops.

In 2009, Kinney lent her vocalise to the enlivened program The Penguins of Madagascar, and most recently, she's been a frequent co-star of ABC Family's teen drama, The Secret Life of the American Teenager, where she plays Bunny, a no-nonsense butcher's assistant who works withThe Sausage King, himself, person Boykewich.

Kinney also past reprised the role of Mimi, if exclusive for a day, when she prefabricated a surprise Apr Fool's Day meet to the ordered of The Price Is Right, where she conversant host, Drew Carey that she had condemned over as chief shaper of the popular CBS daytime mettlesome show. Check out the recording posted to the mitt of this article to wager Mimi in action.

According to a CMT press release, Kinney's Working Class storyline centers around Carli (Peterman) attempting to inform her kinsfolk a lesson in non-judgement. She gets more than she bargains for when she invites her kid's bawdy lunch Mohammedan (Kinney) over for a kinsfolk dinner. 

I crapper exclusive hope there's a scene between Kinney andPeterman's on-screen neighbor, Hank, played by TV icon, Ed Asner. Just conceive of the malcontent comedic possibilities between TV's Mimi and Mary Tyler Moore's Mr. Grant!

Following weekday night's Working Class temporary stint, Kinney will erst again re-team with Drew Carey on Apr 11, when Drew Carey's Improv-A-Ganza debuts on the Game Show Network. The mettlesome exhibit also features Carey's former Whose Line guest star, and Working Class' same guest, Ryan Stiles.
