"THE BERNIE MAC SHOW" SEASON PREMIERE, WITH GUEST STARS ANTHONY ANDERSON AND PRO WRESTLER STEVE AUSTIN, EXPANDS TO ONE HOUR FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, ON FOX

Bryan, a cool guy from the Chicago block, arrives on Bernie's doorstep, claiming he's Bryana's father. Bernie is cautiously supportive - until Bryan ignores Jordan and Vanessa and tries to buy Bryana's affection. Then Jordan is recruited onto the wrestling team and starts winning by default as there is never anyone to compete against in his weight class. But when he eats himself out of that class, Jordan is forced to lose weight or lose face. Bernie gets some expert advice when superstar pro wrestler Steve Austin joins him in his confessional in the "Father Knows Best"/"Wrestling with a Sticky Situation" episode of THE BERNIE MAC SHOW Friday, Sept. 23 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) (MAC-502/501) (TV-PG D, L)
