On the Wednesday November 2 episode of ABC's HAPPY ENDINGS titled, "Lying Around",  Brad hears that Jane's old sorority sister is coming for a visit, and he lies and says he has a work retreat out of town, but he's actually on "staycation" in a fancy hotel in the city; Alex meets a new guy, Liam, but his dates are over-the-top; and Max and Dave make a commercial to promote the "Steak Me Home Tonight" food truck. Brent Musburger and Fred Savage (who also directed the episode) appear as themselves.Wednesdays, 9:30 - 10:00 p.m.

HAPPY ENDINGS tells the story of a couple who splits.  The real question is, who gets to keep the friends? Alex and Dave's wedding was supposed to be the happiest day of their lives, for them and their long-time friends... until Alex left groom-to-be Dave at the altar.

The breakup, in the words of one pal, was a "huge game changer" that complicated everyone's lives and made everyone question their own choices. Alex and Dave were the glue that kept their urban family together: Alex's sister, Jane, a suburban housewife, and her buttoned-up husband, Brad; Max, their perpetually underemployed gay friend; and Penny, who worries about never finding the right guy.

A year later, this gang is still friends, although Alex and Dave are trying to figure out just where their relationship stands. Penny is convinced that 2011 will be "The Year of Penny," and she starts things off by buying her dream condo. She'll also be getting a new roommate when Alex moves in. Max may make the biggest change of all when he does something his friends never thought he'd do... get a steady job.

Called "fresh," "charming" and "it's need-to-pause-the-DVR-because-I'm-laughing-so-hard funny" by the critics, "Happy Endings" stars Eliza Coupe ("Scrubs") as Jane, Elisha Cuthbert ("24") as Alex, Zachary Knighton ("FlashForward") as Dave, Adam Pally as Max, Damon Wayans, Jr. ("The Underground") as Brad and Casey Wilson ("Saturday Night Live") as Penny.

HAPPY ENDINGS AIRS Wednesdays at  9:30-10:00 p.m., ET on the ABC Television Network.
