'The Crazy Ones' Premiere CBS, Robin Williams & Sarah Michelle Gellar Cast Interview & Behind the Scenes (VIDEO)

 

'The Crazy Ones' premieres tonight (Sept. 26) on CBS with comedic legend Robin Williams in his long awaited return to a TV. 

This is William's first sitcom television role in 32 years since his comedy "Mork & Mindy". 

Robin Williams will play Simon Roberts, a Chicago advertising executive. Williams describes Simon as "a guy who can sell anything. He could sell frappuccinos to Starbucks. Simon's a guy with a lot of nuance. He's lived hard and been on the edge for a long time. Multiple marriages, rehab, even rehab in wine country. Trust me, I've done the research myself."

Williams stars with Sarah Michelle Geller as Sydney Roberts. The new series is directed by Jason Winer. 

Official CBS description: 

Academy Award winner Robin Williams returns to series television in THE CRAZY ONES, a single-camera workplace comedy about a larger-than-life advertising genius whose unorthodox methods and unpredictable behavior would get him fired... if he weren't the boss. Simon Roberts is the head of a powerful agency, with the biggest clients and brands in the world, but even more important to him is having his daughter Sydney by his side. As his partner, Sydney is Simon's exact opposite - focused, organized and eager to make a name for herself, but also too busy parenting her father, which she'd resent if he wasn't so brilliant at what he does. Joining them in the firm are the dashing and talented Zach; art director Andrew, who's as hard-working as he is neurotic; and the beautiful and deceptively smart assistant Lauren. With his team and his daughter behind him, Simon continues to set the advertising world on fire, and it looks like they are definitely buying what these crazy ones are selling. (via CBS)
