We’re about to meet a very special member of Special Agent Timothy McGee’s family in season nine of the CBS drama, which begins Sept. 20. And the newest member of the family tree is….
Lily Tomlin!
The veteran TV actor will follow in the footsteps of Ralph Waite (who played Gibbs’ dad) and Robert Wagner (DiNozzo’s pa!) to depict Penelope, McGee’s grandmother. She’ll show up in the early fall. “We are very excited to have the gifted Lily Tomlin join us to play McGee’s grandmother,” says NCIS exec producer Gary Glasberg. ”We know she’ll bring extraordinary heart and pathos and humor to the show and the cast and crew are thrilled to have her. But don’t let the word grandmother fool you. Penelope is sharp as a tack and we’re about to learn some things about McGee’s family that have never been revealed.”

ReplyDeleteLily is awesome and as McGee grandmother should be interesting.
ReplyDeleteI like Lily so this is fine by me. Although, NCIS really seems to be dipping agressively into the AARP actors pool lately.
ReplyDeleteSounds really good. Can't wait to see how it plays out.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to learn about Mc Gee's family ! This is gonna be really good ! =D
ReplyDeletesounds realy fun magee had some secrets his character is to quite and misterius is time to reveal something why is so shy.
ReplyDeleteWe have met a member of everyone's family except Abby's and Palmer's. I think it is time they were involved too. Come on writers.......give us another treat.
ReplyDeleteIn Season one episode 2 Ducky states that he helped decorate for his nephew's party. If he is an only child as he described in an episode in Season 2 (meat puzzle) how is it that he has a nephew? We should meet the nephew or the sibling....that would be fun too,
