16:04 ET<\/span><\/span><\/p>\nAshton Kutcher will replace Charlie Sheen in the hit CBS comedy Two and a Half Men, Warner Bros Television says.<\/p>\n
Kutcher, who is married to actress Demi Moore, has hosted the prank show Punk’d and is probably best known as Michael Kelso on Fox’s That 70s Show.<\/p>\n
“I can’t replace Charlie Sheen but I’m going to work my ass off to entertain the hell out of people,” Kutcher said.<\/p>\n
Warner cut the show short and fired Sheen two months ago amid outbursts and reported problems with drink and drugs.<\/p>\n
Kutcher is a prolific tweeter and had earlier hinted on Twitter that he had the role, when he said: “What’s the square root of 6.25?” (answer: 2.5).<\/p>\n
Ratings success<\/span><\/p>\n“We are so lucky to have someone as talented, joyful and just plain remarkable as Ashton joining our family,” said Chuck Lorre, the show’s creator and executive producer.<\/p>\n
“Added to that is the deep sigh of relief knowing that our family stays together. If I was any happier, it’d be illegal.”<\/p>\n
Sheen, who played hedonistic jingle writer Charlie Harper, was involved in a series of incidents that suggested he had personal problems.<\/p>\n
Despite that, Two and a Half Men had continued its ratings success on the CBS network until Sheen’s abrupt departure cut short the eighth series.<\/p>\n
CBS said production on the ninth series of the comedy would start in the summer for broadcast in the autumn.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
