Rollins on The Cleveland Show

Two seasons ago I wrote a short note about Jimmy Rollins doing some work for The Cleveland Show. I have asked Rollins a few times since when the show planned to air. He said he didn’t know. But the Daily News wrote today (h/t 700 Level) it finally will air Sunday.

What the heck took so long?

Here’s my note from 2011:

LOS ANGELES (Aug. 9, 2011) – Ryan Howard has made his rounds through Hollywood, appearing on episodes of “Entourage” and “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.” Chase Utley joined Howard on “It’s Always Sunny” last year.

Jimmy Rollins got his taste Tuesday.

He stopped by FOX’s “The Cleveland Show,” where he did some voice work for an upcoming episode. Rollins kept the script to himself, but said Joey Votto and David Ortiz also did some work for the episode.

“They’re funny,” Rollins said of the folks he met at the show. “It was a lot of fun. I got to meet Mike Henry, who plays Cleveland. He was in there with me. It was cool. He was giving me a lot of tips. I’d do it again. One of the producers is from Philly, so she said she wants me to keep coming back. I have an offseason coming up. Holler at me, you know?”
