Making its official debut tonight on CBS, PARTNERS is the latest comedy brainchild of WILL & GRACE creators MAX MUTCHNICK and DAVID KOHAN. Taking a page from their own lives and relationship, the story centers on the friendship between a gay man and a straight man who share a history and a business. Former NUMBERS star DAVID KRUMHOLTZ (KOHAN/straight) and UGLY BETTY’s MICHAEL URIE (MUTCHNICK/gaaaaaaaaaaay) are joined by their on-screen partners played by SOPHIA BUSH (ONE TREE HILL) and BRANDON ROUTH (SUPERMAN RETURNS).

At the Television Critics Association press conference to introduce the new show, KRUMHOLTZ talked about playing a character based on a real person. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR FOR AUDIO)
