'Ugly Betty' actress to guest on husband's show

Jerry O'Connell guest-starred on his then-fiancee Rebecca Romijn's show last season. Now she's returning the favor.

Romijn, who's a regular on ABC's "Ugly Betty" and is now married to O'Connell, will guest on the network's new comedy "Carpoolers" this fall, playing the kooky ex-wife of his character, Laird.

The couple married in July after dating for two-plus years.

On "Carpoolers," Romijn will play Joannifer (no, that's not a typo), who comes back into the skirt-chasing Laird's life and is focused on winning him back. An airdate for her appearance hasn't been set.

"Carpoolers" is scheduled to premiere Tuesday, Oct. 2. The show focuses on the lives of four suburban men (O'Connell, Fred Goss, Jerry Minor and Tim Peper) who hash out their problems on their shared commute to and from work.

Last season O'Connell guested on "Ugly Betty" as a sports-bar patron who hit on Alexis (Romijn) and Wilhelmina (Vanessa Williams) after the two fashionistas were stranded in the bar by a blizzard.
