Joey McIntyre has a new squeeze on upcoming CBS multi-cam comedy, “The McCarthys.”

TheWrap has learned that Jessica St. Clair will join the cast in a recurring role playing Katrina, the girlfriend to McIntyre’s character, Gerard. She’s described as a tacky loose cannon with no filter who’s oblivious to how judgmental and insulting she can be.

Look for St. Clair’s run on the show to begin on Episode 104.

St. Clair recently starred on USA Network’s “Playing House,” which she also co-created. Her other television credits include HBO’s “Veep,” NBC’s short-lived comedy “Best Friends Forever” and Showtime’s “Weeds.”

She has also appeared in numerous movies, including “Bridesmaids,” “Enough Said” and “She’s Out of My League.”

Will Gluck, Brian Gallivan, Mike Sikowitz, Richie Schwartz and Pam Fryman serve as executive producers on “The McCarthys.” Produced by Sony Pictures Television in association with Gluck’s Olive Bridge, the comedy revolves around a loud, sports-crazed Boston clan.
