Howard, who splits his time between acting and his duties as SAG president these days, will play Ken, the husband of one of the sisters, who serves as the caretaker of the diner because, well, sibling dynamics are always in the way of getting the job done.
Howard also has a recurring role as Kabletown boss Hank Hooper on "30 Rock."
"2 Broke Girls" director Ted Wass is helming the ABC project.
