"I'm very pleased and honored by this announcement," says Corddry.  "I'm also very surprised, given that I write this show when I'm very, very drunk. Season four promises to be a cry for help."

Also returning for Season 4 are Malin Akerman, Lake Bell, Erinn Hayes, Rob Huebel, Ken Marino, Megan Mullally and Henry Winkler.
