Call Me Kat, starring Mayim Bialik, will return for a third season on Thursday, September 29, at 9:30 p.m. ET/PT on FOX. The sitcom first aired in 2021 and featured several interesting story arcs. The meta cameos of characters from Bialik's previous and current roles were one of the things that set Call Me Kat apart from other sitcoms.
These cameos were an incredibly important part of the show, serving both comedic and plot purposes. Call Me Kat revolves around Bialik's character's life and daily occurrences as she runs a cat cafe in Louisville. The show's synopsis reads:
"An optimistic and fun-loving woman continuously defies societal expectations, and her mother's wishes, to prove she can live a happy and fulfilling life on her own terms. Her first move? Using her entire savings to open a cat café in Louisville,...Kat finds herself in all sorts of predicaments, handling them as only she can -- with joy, humor and positivity."
As these guest appearances are such an integral part of the show, the two confirmed cameos in the third season of Call Me Kat are Ken Jennings, Bialik's co-host from Jeopardy! and Kevin Sussman from Big Bang Theory.
