So much for paternity leave!

New dad Clay Aiken has a new gig lined up - and this one is quite familiar to him. The former American Idol finalist will reprise the role of Sir Robin in Monty Python's Spamalot on Broadway, Access Hollywood confirms.

"Since leaving Spamalot in May, jokes have just not been funny. Food has lost its taste. The grass is no longer green - the sky no longer blue. And, babies won't stop crying!! I'm so excited about coming back to the funniest show in the world!" Aiken said in a statement.

The 29-year-old, who welcomed son Parker with best friend Jaymes Foster, 50, on Aug. 8, made his Broadway debut in January. He is new run will go from Sept. 19-Jan. 4. - Joyce Eng
