(per PLAYBILL.com):

Christopher Sieber — seen on Broadway in Monty Python's Spamalot — guest stars with Paul Reubens on ABC's "Pushing Daisies" Nov. 21.

An ABC synopsis for the episode, entitled "Smell of Success," reads: "When the assistant to renowned scent expert Napoleon LeNez (Sieber) is found dead after a scratch 'n' sniff book explodes, Ned, Chuck and Emerson investigate whom the deadly missive was intended for. Meanwhile, Olive continues her campaign to get Aunts Lily and Vivian back in the swim of things."

The show will also feature guest stars Reubens ("Pee Wee's Big Adventure," "Blow"), Tim Conlon and Sarah Jayne Jensen (Wonderful Town).

Ellen Greene, the Little Shop of Horrors star who portrays series regular Vivian, gets the chance to display her vocal skills during the Nov. 21 episode. Greene recently told Playbill.com that she will perform a Cat Stevens song toward the end of the hour-long program.

Did you wait until just after midnight so you could call it "tonight's"?

I didn't know Paul Reubens was recast in another guest role.

It's ok, it just threw me off until I realized it actually was post-midnight.

I have it on good authority from Canadian fans (and those who might take it upon themselves to download the show early, via the early Canadian airdate) that in addition to all these wonderful facets, it's also an excellent episode for anyone with a real particular fondness for Kristen Chenoweth's breasts.

Ellen Greene singing "Morning Has Broken" in an arrangement that makes it sound like "Suddenly Seymour". (link below)

Cheno in a MERMAID outfit - jumping and jiggling and jiggling and jumping. Oh. My. God. (Can't beleive it's not on You Tube yet!)

And Paul Rubens will be back in future episodes. He knows there's something about Chuck that just doesn't smell right.

This is one of the best shows on TV at the moment, certainly the best hour-long comedy. I just saw the last episode and it was pure brilliance.
Ellen Greene and Swoosie Kurtz are simply amazing. They are so great together and so talented. Plus, the exchanges between them and Chenoweth's character are so much fun to watch. I want another duet between Chenoweth and Greene.
Actually, all the actors have great chemistry among each other. It's such a fantastic cast. I hope the success of the show isn't affected by the strike.

I love this show but to be quite honest I couldn't understand a word Ellen Greene was singing. I've never really enjoyed her as a vocalist anyway. I think she's a fantastic actress but that's as far as it goes with me.

Ellen Greene is pure genius! If you don't have her solo album "In His Eyes" run don't walk to go get it!
