Craig Robinson said it wasn’t hard to get him to sign on for the new film “Peeples” once he heard one phrase in particular.

“They said something about spanking Kerry Washington and I was like, ‘OK,” the actor told CNN.
Robinson, who many will recognize from his role of Darryl Philbin on NBC’s “The Office” and Nick in “Hot Tub Time Machine,” takes a star turn in the new romantic comedy.

That’s not spring in the air, but fall series ordering season.

Fox has gotten the ball rolling on a new slate of programming, adding five comedy pilots and four dramas. On the comedy side, TV critics have noted how male-dominated the concepts are, especially in light of Fox’s recent female-centric programs like “The Mindy Project,” “New Girl” and the now canceled “Ben and Kate.”

Instead of Mindy Kaling and Zooey Deschanel, eyes will be on Seth MacFarlane and Andy Samberg in the fall.
