The long-running USA Network comedy continues to embrace the allure of the decade, recruiting The Breakfast Club's John Kapelos (aka Carl the janitor) for a guest-starring stint on the upcoming seventh season, The Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively.

Appearing in the episode titled "The Santabarbarian Candidate," Kapelos will take on the part of Tom Swagerty, a Santa Barbara City Council leader who is tasked with serving as the interim mayor after Mayor Channing dies unexpectedly. The episode is expected to air this fall.
