Video - Early “Two and a Half Men” Gag Reel and Bloopers Found – Hilarious Stuff!

We all fell in love with Uncle Charlie, Alan, and Jake Harper.

We even fell in love with their housekeeper Berta and crazy neighbor Rose.

And now we can watch some of the funniest bloopers and outtakes in television history.

Even though in real life, Charlie Sheen seems to have put a damper on the popular “Two and a Half Men” sitcom, there is more interest than ever over the future of the show now that Ashton Kutcher has joined the cast.

But InfoStar has uncovered some of the funniest gag reels, bloopers, and outtakes ever seen from season 3 and 4 showing Angus T. Jones, Jon Cryer, Charlie Sheen and “Berta” losing it on the set.

You even get to see a glimpse of the now infamous creator and writer Chuck Lorre in a few shots.

It really does show you how hard it is to pull off a thirty minute sitcom while taping in front of a live audience.

Enjoy!

Jon Cryer Comments on Ashton Kutcher Joining “Two and a Half Men” – He’s Thrilled!

After being silent for the last three months, “Two and a Half Men” veteran Jon Cryer is finally talking about the recent changes on the show.

Cryer, who plays Alan Harper, released a press statement saying that he is thrilled that “Men” will be returning and commented,

“I’m jazzed about the news this morning that ‘Two and a Half Men’ is coming back! For all the rest of the cast and crew I’m sure they are equally excited”.

He even thanked his one-time cast mate Charlie Sheen saying,

“I want to express my enormous gratitude to Charlie Sheen for eight great seasons. I’m extremely proud of the work we’ve done together and I will miss him. But I’m also looking forward to this new beginning.”

He went on to say the he and Kutcher go way back together and even added a little levity with,

“Ashton is an extraordinarily talented guy and his presence will be an asset to our show. We are old friends from our male-modeling days and we’re both looking forward to being judged for our comedic artistry, as opposed to our exceptional physical beauty”.

CBS and Warner Bro’s announced today that after three months of discussion and reinvention they had hired Ashton Kutcher to replace the fired Charlie Sheen.

Sheen was fired in January for repeated alcohol and drug abuse issues. He is currently suing CBS and Warner Bro’s for $100 million.

Kutcher will NOT be playing the part of Charlie Harper but rather introduced as a new cast member to the existing family. He will pull in almost $900,000 per episode compared to Sheen’s $1.8 million.

Kutcher, Jon Cryer, and Angus T. Jones will form the backbone of the cast while recurring characters like Berta, Rose, Judith Harper, Evelyn Harper and Herb Melnick will round out the cast.

No word yet on exactly how executive producer Chuck Lorre plans to write out Sheen’s character and bring in Kutcher’s, in fact we don’t even now the new characters name or his relationship to the family.

But if we know Chuck Lorre we suspect season 9 could be one of the funniest yet.

Go Chuck!

Ashton Kutcher and CBS Official News Release About Two and a Half Men Season 9

Warner Bro’s, CBS, and Chuck Lorre are probably glad this is all behind them.

They’re probably even happier that Charlie Sheen is out of the picture.

Ashton Kutcher has agreed to a deal to replace troubled, and not winning, Charlie Sheen in the hit CBS sitcom “Two and a Half Men” working alongside Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones.

Kutcher is slated to pull in almost $900,000 per episode through season 9. Production will begin this summer and new episodes will be aired in the fall.

Kutcher says,

“I can’t wait to work with this ridiculously talented 2.5 team and I believe we can fill the stage with laughter that will echo into the viewer’s home. I can’t replace Charlie Sheen but I’m going to work my ass off to entertain the hell out of people”.

For his part, Sheen has already thrown in his thoughts telling TMZ,

"Kutcher is a sweetheart and a brilliant comedic performer ... Oh wait, so am I. Enjoy the show America. Enjoy seeing a 2.0 in the demo every Monday, WB. Enjoy planet Chuck, Ashton. There is no air, laughter, loyalty, or love there".

Wow. Sheen sure seems to have a bitter chip on his shoulder regarding all the problems HE has caused all involved. It seems he has fallen out of the spotlight and is no longer winning – but loosing.

Chuck Lorre also chimed in with,

“We are so lucky to have someone as talented, joyful and just plain remarkable as Ashton Kutcher joining our family. Added to that is a deep sigh of relief knowing that our family stays together. If I was any happier, it’d be illegal”.

Lorre is the creator and Executive Producer of the show and was tasked with developing the plot to get Charlie out and a new face in.

Nina Tassler, President, CBS Entertainment added,

"Ashton is a pop culture triple threat-film star, cutting-edge producer and a social media pioneer. He brings creativity, energy and personality to everything he touches. We are thrilled to have him, and excited beyond words for what he brings to the next season of Two and a half Men".

The last party in the triangle is Warner Brothers, whose President said,

"Ashton Kutcher brings a new and distinctive comedic flavor to “Two and a Half Men”. He is a big-time talent whose unique style will blend seamlessly with Jon Cryer, Angus T. Jones and the rest of this terrific ensemble. We look forward to a great future for this revamped and reenergized show, helmed as always by the extraordinary Chuck Lorre, whose creative skills and consummate professionalism makes him the best in the business."

So there it is. The deal is done and all parties involved have stepped up to say their piece. The only thing left is to see how they update the story to sneak Kutcher into the plot in a believable way.

I really think if all involved can pull this off that season 9 may make us ask, “Why did they put up with Sheen for so long?”

Now if they can just get past Sheen’s $100 million lawsuit things will have come full circle.

Will you watch season 9? Was Kutcher a good choice? Are you over Charlie Sheen’s antics yet?

Do tell…

John Cryer and Angus T. Jones to Star in New ‘Two and a Half Men’ without Charlie Sheen – Confirmed

It has been a brutal two months for Chuck Lorre.

Charlie Sheen was fired from his show “Two and a Half Men”, the remaining season was cancelled, and the future of the sitcom was unknown.

While there has been some speculation and many great ideas floated about, we didn’t really know anything solid – until now.

The Inquisitr is reporting that Chuck Lorre has confirmed to them that the remaining parts of the eighth season, and any new shows from that point on, will now focus on Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones character while a possible new character may be introduced.

It’s official – “Two and A Half Men” is BACK!

This was what we were hoping for all along. We knew there had to be a way to keep the show going, and Cryer and Jones are the perfect match to bridge any transition in plot.

One insider said,

“They already have the set, a group of actors with contracts, an audience, and a place to start a new plot. They would have been fools to not try and keep it going – even if it was for just one season to see how it goes. They could have a bigger hit on their hands now than they did with the old show and Sheen. Charlie thinks he’s indispensable – but he’s not.”

The deal most certainly looked attractive to both Cryer and Jones. Sheen was pulling in $1.8 million per episode, Cryer was earning $550k, and Angus (Jake) was making $350k per show.

With Sheen’s salary expense out of the way, producers can afford to spread that love around a little more to the remaining cast and crew – everybody wins.

Except Uncle Charlie.

While it is not clear what impact Sheen’s $100 million lawsuit against Chuck Lorre, CBS and Warner Brothers will have on the shows finances, some smart legal people tell us that Charlie will probably not prevail.

So let’s bring the show back with Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones as the new leads, and weave in larger roles for Herb Melnick (Ryan Stiles), Berta (Conchata Ferrell), Rose (Melanie Lynskey), and of course mother Evelyn (Holland Taylor).

That’s all we ever wanted. We don’t need Charlie Sheen anymore.

Go Chuck Lorre!
