EXCLUSIVE: Busy Phillips and Ron White to Guest on Kath & Kim

We’ve got some exclusive scoop for Kath & Kim fans, which around here means me, but whatever! I think this show is hilarious and it’s about to get even funnier! Sources tell us that Busy Philipps (Freaks and Geeks, Dawson’s Creek) and Ron White (Blue Collar Comedy Tour) have signed on to guest star in an upcoming roller derby-themed episode of the show.

Seriously? Roller derby? I can picture the outfits now…and they don’t look that much different from what the mother-daughter duo wear on a daily basis. But wait, it gets better! Ron White will play Rusty, the ex-husband of Kath (Molly Shannon) and father of Kim (Selma Blair), marking the first time audiences are introduced to this character. Busy Philipps will play Whitney, the “jammer” on Rusty’s team. That’s right, Kath’s ex is on a roller derby team!

In the episode, Rusty boots Whitney down to second string and replaces her with his daughter, Kim. Busy’s character quits the team instead of taking the demotion, and in Kim’s first match she ends up, of course, facing off against Busy’s character. The whole cast was on skates for this episode. I’m cracking up just thinking about it.

Ron and Busy join a long list of Kath & Kim guest stars, including Maya Rudolph, Jennifer Coolidge and Wynonna Judd, who will all star in upcoming episodes.
