David Spade, the "Just Shoot Me" and "Saturday Night Live" vet is set to shoot two or three segs of ABC's "8 Simple Rules," most likely playing a relative of the Hennessy clan. He's expected to shoot his episodes in mid-December for possible broadcast in February.
James Garner and Suzanne Pleshette have appeared in several segs of the show since Ritter's passing.
In addition to the "8 Simple Rules" gig, Spade and his reps have been meeting with writers, nets and studios about a possible full-time return to TV for Spade. Several outlets have expressed interest, though it's still possible Spade could choose to sit out this development season.
Spade's recent feature credits include "Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star" and "Joe Dirt." Thesp, who's repped by Endeavor and Brillstein-Grey, is next set to star in "Son of Santa" for Sony.
