We were already loving the equation for CBS's gay sitcom pilot, Partners. Michael Urie + Brandon Routh as boyfriends = a letter writing campaign to the network demanding that it greenlight the pilot. But now with gaydored comedic diva Molly Shannon in the mix, the possibility for success is multiplied exponentially. 

With our high school algebraic language now officially exhausted, here's what Deadline has to say about Partners tweaking its cast to include Molly:

CBS’ half-hour pilot Partners has reworked and recast some of its supporting characters. The multicamera project, from Will & Gracecreators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan, centers on lifelong friends and business partners —architects  Charlie (David Krumholtz), who is straight, and Louis (Michael Urie), who is gay. Co-starring as the duo’s significant others are Sophia Bush as Charlie’s fiancé Ali and Brandon Routh as Louis steady partner. Also originally cast as regulars in the pilot were Elizabeth Regen as Ro-Ro, Charlie and Louis’ colorful assistant, and Brit Lucy Davis as Renata, droll bookkeeper for Charlie’s fiancé Ali, a jewelry boutique owner. After the pilot’s table read, the Ro-Ro role was made guest-starring (with series option) and was recast with Tracy Vilar. The character of Renata has been written out while a new guest-starring role, Cassandra, has been introduced, withSaturday Night Live alumna Molly Shannon tapped to play it.

Coincidentally (or perhaps not so much), Molly did fufill a hilarious guest-starring arc for Will & Grace.
