NCIS alum Michael Weatherly is helping build up excitement around co-star Pauley Perrette's upcoming CBS comedy, Broke. It was confirmed that the series is set to premiere in April, Weatherly who portrayed Special Agent Tony DiNozzo on NCIS from 2003 until 2016, revealed on Twitter that he is so excited for the series he is going to tape over an episode of Friends!

Weatherly's support comes several years after he and Perrette worked together on NCIS, and had many fans proclaiming: "friendship goals!" in replies.

"Michael Weatherly taping over an old Friends episode to support an 'old' friend is acceptable," wrote one person. "Love your support and friendship of Pauley Perrette."

Broke will premiere on April 2, and will mark Perrette's return to TV following her NCIS exit. The actress portrays beloved character Abby Scuito for 15 seasons and had more than 350 episodes before leaving in 2018.

Not long after, in May of 2019, CBS greenlit Broke for its freshmen run. Obviously Perrette is excited, and so is Weatherly.

In the series Perrette will star as Jackie, who is a single mother and bartender barely scraping by. She has a son named Milo, and her life is suddenly upside down when her sister turns up with her formerly rich husband, who hope to move into her home while they're down on their luck.

"Words can't describe how happy and blessed I feel to be sharing the screen with you [Perrette]," Camil praised Perrette after the series was greenlit. "Having your talent, personality and beautiful soul in the show makes us sooo happy [praying hands] [smiling face emoji]. Thank you for saying yes to this adventure."

The pilote was written by Alex Herschlad, an Emmy winner and veteran of Will & Grace and Modern Family.

The class differences between Jackie and her sister make it tough to live together, but there's definitely a strong familial bond that exists between them. Jackie eventually offers to help, and maybe this will fix their broken sibling relationship?

One sister is used to a lavish lifestyle, while the other sister is struggling to survive at an acceptable socioeconomic level. I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens when the show airs. Will Elizabeth and Jackie grow closer or further apart?

Despite it all, everyone that is working on the show is so excited to work with Perrette, voicing their praise and excitement:

"We are so excited to be a part of the CBS family and can't wait to share the show with you," Camil said.

"Words can’t describe how happy and blessed I feel to be sharing the screen with you [Perrette]," the former Jane the Virgin star wrote on Twitter. "Having your talent, personality and beautiful soul in the show makes us sooo happy [praying hands] [smiling face emoji]. Thank you for saying yes to this adventure."

"Brother, [Camil] I went with the nicest most decent people in Hollywood. YOU and the team," Perrette replied.
