MY NAME IS EARL

My Name Is Earl is an Emmy Award-winning American sitcom created by Greg Garcia. It is produced by 20th Century Fox Television. It has concluded its second season and is broadcast on the NBC television network Thursdays at 8:00 PM Eastern time. On Wednesday, January 17, 2007, NBC President Kevin Reilly announced My Name Is Earl has been picked up for a third season.

The series stars Jason Lee, Ethan Suplee, Jaime Pressly, Eddie Steeples, and Nadine Velazquez. Lee stars as Earl J. Hickey, a petty crook with occasional run-ins with the law, whose newly-won $100,000 lottery ticket is lost when he is hit by a car. While lying in his hospital bed after the accident, he develops a belief in the concept of karma when he hears about it during an episode of Last Call with Carson Daly. He decides he wants to turn his life around and makes a list of all the bad things he's done. After a few good deeds, his $100,000 ticket comes back to him. He sees this as a sign and, with his new lucky money, he proceeds to cross items off that list, one-by-one, by doing good deeds to atone for them.

Suplee plays Earl's simple but kind-hearted younger brother, Randy Hickey, who is his sidekick as Earl seeks to atone for his past transgressions. Pressly plays Earl's ex-wife Joy Darville. The show also stars Eddie Steeples as Joy's husband Darnell Turner, whom Earl calls "Crabman", and Nadine Velazquez as Catalina Aruca, a good-hearted and beautiful jumping stripper/illegal alien/maid at the motel where the Hickey brothers live.
