TV Land pays tribute to The Mary Tyler Moore Show for a second time Wednesday when Ed Asner checks in as the president of a prestigious country club who has a past with Betty White‘s Elka.
Asner plays Jameson, a country club president who in The Hollywood Reporter‘s first-look clip,can’t seem to recall exactly how he knows Elka as she and Melanie (Valerie Bertinelli), Joy (Jane Leeves) and Victoria (Wendie Malick) try to join the club.
“Where do I know you from?” Asner ponders.
“It’ll come to you,” a coy White responds with a smirk, in a clear nod to their seven seasons together as MTM‘s Lou Grant and Sue Ann Nivens.
Asner becomes the second MTM alum to head to Cleveland; Mary Tyler Moore guest starred in the second-season premiere in January.
Check out the clip above and hit the comments with how many nods to MTM you can find — we count at least two.
Hot in Cleveland airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on TV Land.
