The Grinder continues to nab impressive guest stars.

Maya Rudolph is the latest to book a spot on the Fox comedy starring Rob Lowe and Fred Savage as rivaling brothers. She joins a growing roster of guest actors that includes Jason Alexander, Timothy Olyphant, Christina Applegate and Nathan Fielder.

The Saturday Night Live vet will play Jillian, Stewart’s (Savage) therapist who he’s been relying on ever since Dean (Lowe) came to town. Stewart refers Dean to her in hopes that she can help bring him down to earth a little and start seeing things Stewart’s way.

The first episode in Rudolph’s arc was filmed last week and is slated to air in early February. The Grinder airs Tuesdays at 8:30 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.
