Chaffin, best known as one half of the comedy duo Ronna & Beverly, will join the series during the current season’s ninth episode as Bertie, a straight-talking bus driver — aren’t they all? — who becomes quite fond of her passenger.
The episode, “Werewolf,” recently taped and is expected to air in mid-November.
In addition to her live comedic pursuits, Chaffin has most recently appeared in The Heat, Netflix’s Arrested Development reboot and Children’s Hospital on Adult Swim.
Chaffin is repped by CAA and The Schiff Company.
