This is surprising news, at least to me. Months and months of speculation surrounded the replacement of Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men, but one name that I never heard actually made the final cut.
Kutcher said in a press conference: “I can’t wait to get to work with this ridiculously talented 2.5 team and I believe we can fill the stage with laughter that will echo in viewers’ homes. I can’t replace Charlie Sheen but I’m going to work my ass off to entertain the hell out of people!”
“We are so lucky to have someone as talented, joyful and just plain remarkable as Ashton joining our family,” said Chuck Lorre, the show’s creator and Executive Producer. He continued, “Added to that is the deep sigh of relief knowing that our family stays together. If I was any happier, it’d be illegal.”
Kutcher had a bit of fun on Twitter before CBS and Warner Bros. Television made the official announcement Friday. He sent this message via Twitter: “What’s the square root of 6.25?” I am not a math genius, but I do believe the answer may be 2.5.
