On the November 8th episode of ABC's hit new show MAN UP! titled  "Wingmen", Kenny admits he hasn't had a date since his divorce from Brenda and that Brenda is the only woman he has ever slept with.  The guys, including Grant, take him clubbing to jump start his love life. But things don't go as planned, especially when a friend of Theresa's sees Will and thinks he's stepping out on his wife.

In the vein of "The Hangover," MAN UP is the virile new comedy from writer/producer/actor Christopher Moynihan, executive producer Victor Fresco, and director Beth McCarthy-Miller ("SNL," "30 Rock") that follows the struggles of three modern male archetypes as they search for their identities and try to prove that "real men" really can use hazelnut creamer.

Meet Will (Mather Zickel). Will's grandfather fought in WWII. Will's father fought in Vietnam. Will plays Call of Duty on his PS3 and drinks non-dairy hazelnut creamer. So what happened to all the real men? They're still here -- they just smell like pomegranate body wash now. Will's evolved, sensitive nature is why his awesome wife, Theresa (Teri Polo), married him. But he and his friends find themselves wondering... In a world of Axe ads and manscaping, what does it really mean to be a guy anymore?

MAN UP! stars Mather Zickel ("The Cape") as Will Keen, Dan Fogler ("Take Me Home Tonight") as Kenny Hayden, Christopher Moynihan ("100 Questions") as Craig Griffith, Teri Polo ("Meet the Fockers") as Theresa Hayden Keen, Amanda Detmer ("Private Practice") as Brenda Hayden, Henry Simmons ("Shark," "NYPD Blue") as Grant, Jake Johnson ("Talladega Nights") as Nathan Keen and Charlotte Labadie ("Transformers: Dark of the Moon") as Lucy Keen.

MAN UP! airs Tuesdays, 8:30-9:00 p.m., ET on ABC.
