Yes, I know the guacamole is extra. EW's editorial guidelines Published on November 13, 2012 12:00PM EST Photo: Roger Kisby/Getty Images What's the best cure for starring in a canceled show? A role on a CBS drama that loves its guest stars! Kyle MacLachlan, who appeared in the short-lived CBS drama Made in Jersey this season, has been booked for several episodes of The Good Wife. Details on his role are a bit sketchy for now, but his character will interact with Eli Gold (Alan Cumming). Didn't catch Jersey? That's okay; MacLachlan is best known to TV audiences for his role as Bree's husband on Desperate Housewives. This season has been a particularly exciting one for Good Wife in terms of guest stars. Actors like Amanda Peet, Brian Dennehy, Christina Ricci, T.R. Knight, and Stockard Channing have joined the already impressive roster of regular guests like Nathan Lane (trustee Clarke Hayden) and Maura Tierney (billionaire Maddie Hayward). Michael J. Fox and Matthew Perry are also expected to return this season. For more:
