Lorraine Bracco and Penny Marshall are joining John Mulaney of "SNL" on his autobiographical TV sitcom "Mulaney." 

Sitcom veteran Penny Marshall and former "The Sopranos" star Lorraine Bracco will play lesbians in a committed relationship on the new sitcom.  The project was developed by NBC, but the network didn't pick it up. "Mulaney" is produced by "SNL" creator Lorne Michaels.

Lorraine Bracco and Penny Marshall are coming out on TV. Marshall and Bracco have signed on to play a funny lesbian couple on Fox's "Mulaney." Lorraine Bracco and Penny Marshall will join Martin Short and Elliot Gould for an all-star supporting cast in a Lorne Michaels production.

Lorraine Bracco and Penny Marshall, two iconic figures of the big and small screen, are in a league of their own. On movies screens, Lorraine Bracco played Karen Hill, the wife of gangster turned rat Henry Hill in "Goodfellas." Penny Marshall directed classic films like "Big" with Tom Hanks and "Awakenings" with Robert De Niro and Robin Williams.

On TV Lorraine Bracco was Dr. Melfi, the psychiatrist who kept sociopathic gangster Tony Soprano on an uneven keel in HBO's "The Sopranos." Penny Marshall was Laverne, with the iconic L on her blouse, in the "Happy Days" spinoff "Laverne and Shirley." Side note, "Happy Days" also spun off "Mork and Mindy" which, along with HBO, launched Robin Williams into the stratosphere. Sadly, it also spawned "Joanie Loves Chacci."

Penny Marshall and Lorraine Bracco will play a funny lesbian couple on Fox's upcoming series "Mulaney." The series is about a comedian living "under the influence of his boss, roommates and neighbor." Marshall and Bracco don't shop up until on the second episode. Penny and Lorraine play Tutti and Vaughn, close friends of Mulaney's neighbor Oscar who is played by Elliot Gould. The comedian's boss is played by Martin Short. Mulraney producer Lorne Michaels also produces "SNL" and produced "30 Rock."The Hollywood Reporter says "Mulaney" will also feature Nasim Pedrad, who is the longest-running female cast member  "Saturday Night Live" right now, as Jane, a "sweet, intelligent, and lazy grade school teacher who doesn't love her job and wants to make changes but is addicted to procrastinating," 

Penny Marshall was most seen as a guest star on Nickelodeon's "Sam & Cat." Lorraine Bracco has a recurring role "Rizzoli & Isles" as Rizzoli's mom. Bracco and Marshall are the latest movie icons headed to TV. Liev Schrieber, Kevin Bacon and Jeff Daniels have all found that there is interesting work on TV.

Penny Marshall also directed "Jumpin' Jack Flash" with Whoopi Goldberg. Marshall has been directing since she went behind the camera during "Laverne and Shirley."
