The Odd Couple, which CBS ordered to series last week, tells the story of divorced roommates Oscar (Perry) and Felix (Thomas Lennon). King, who previously starred on The New Normal, had been cast as Katie, a model who lives in their building.
Baker, who co-starred with Perry on the failed show Go On, was scheduled to play Oscar's assistant Sam, and Perry wrote the role specifically with her in mind, according to TVLine, which first reported the news.
Both parts will be recast. Watch episodes of the original Odd Couple here.
