Kutcher replaces Sheen on 'Two and a Half Men'

WTF



Los Angeles (CNN) -- It's official: Ashton Kutcher is filling the gap left by Charlie Sheen on "Two and a Half Men."

"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," Kutcher said Friday in a statement released by CBS and Warner Bros. Television.

"I can't replace Charlie Sheen but I'm going to work my ass off to entertain the hell out of people!"

Kutcher, who gained his early fame on a TV sitcom, "That 70's Show," has more recently been seen on the big screen. His last film was "No Strings Attached," which hit theaters in January.

He's also made his mark as a TV executive producer, most notably for MTV's hidden-camera show "Punk'd."

"Ashton is a pop culture triple threat -- film star, cutting-edge producer and a social media pioneer," said Nina Tassler, the head of CBS Entertainment. "He brings creativity, energy and personality to everything he touches. We are thrilled to have him."

CBS and Warner Bros. did not disclose how much Kutcher will earn. Sheen, who is embroiled in a lawsuit over his sudden dismissal from the show in March, was earning a reported $2 million for each episode.

Producers have been scrambling in recent weeks to find a replacement for Sheen to keep one of TV's highest-rated sitcoms on the air for another year.

Makes more sense.. but I just don't see him pulling off the kinda dry, sarcastic, humor that was Sheen.

[Kiro_lee]

I wonder when the "1/2" turns 18 if the show will be called 3 men instead.

Charlie Sheen delivered the ultimate back-handed compliment to Ashton Kutcher, telling TMZ he's talented but the show will tank.

Charlie tells TMZ, "Kutcher is a sweetheart and a brilliant comedic performer ... Oh wait, so am I!!"

Charlie continues, taking a shot at the show, saying, "Enjoy the show America. Enjoy seeing a 2.0 in the demo every Monday, WB." Essentially, Charlie is saying the age group that supported him is going to tune out.

Charlie adds, "Enjoy planet Chuck, Ashton. There is no air, laughter, loyalty, or love there." Of course, Charlie is referring to his nemesis, "Men" creator and Executive Producer Chuck Lorre.

[Soundwave]

I love this move, I can totally ignore the show now, and it will reduce the amount of movies that Kutcher makes...

[VexXx Dogg]

This'll be interesting. I predict ratings to drop, unless they give us moar boobies.

[Goolie]

no sheen no care

[foss]

since the whole controversy will Sheen leaving, I've lost interest completely.. can't see myself watching it again even with a replacement.

best thing for them would be to pull the plug and come up with another show.

[SUPAstarr]

sooo are they goin to kill off sheen's character, and bring in a younger version of him into the story? hmmmmmmm im jus interested in how they goin to work it in. show will not be the same

[rollingstock]

Well I guess I'll have to watch big bang theory, no sheen no care.

Yep

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

This is an absolute outrage. No more 2.5 for me.

[silver]

Kutcher, 33, who got the role after Hugh Grant reportedly dropped out of negotiations, will make $650,000 to $750,000 an episode.

now that's a punchline....

[Strauss]

The show *might* fail, but it can all be traced back to Charlie Sheen, or are you guys forgetting what a pr!ck he really is off camera?

[Damien]

Exactly......he's a pr/ck OFF camera. What he does OFF camera has nothing to do with what he does when someone yells ACTION and the camera starts rolling.
The show is destined to fail. I have said it, it will happen.
