Actress Whoopi Goldberg will guest-star on an upcoming episode of ABC’s The Middle, the show’s executive producer announced Wednesday at the winter TV previews.
Goldberg will appear on the 21st episode as the guidance counselor of Sue (Eden Shur), executive producer Eileen Heisler said during a panel that also featured the showrunners of ABC’s other Wednesday night comedies, Suburgatory, Modern Family and Happy Endings.
Also coming soon to visit the Heck family is TV veteran Ed Asner. “We’re kind of playing Mary Tyler Moore tic-tac-toe,” Heisler said, although she didn’t elaborate on what role Asner would play.
The other showrunners also touted some of their upcoming guest stars. Steve Levitan confirmed that Kevin Hart would return as one of Phil’s friends for at least one more episode
