Looks like two of the most eligible black celebrity bachelors are joining forces.

NFL star Terrell Owens (T.O.) is set to guest star in an upcoming episode of Flavor Flav's new TV series 'Under One Roof.'

The MyNetworkTV show, which is currently filming its inaugural season out in Vancouver , is slated to debut April 16 at 8:00 p.m."As the buzz continues to build around the premiere of 'Under One Roof' we are thrilled that football superstar T.O. will be teaming with Flavor Flav to help kick off the inaugural season of this hilarious new sitcom," said network's President, Greg Meidel.

Added the former Public Enemy hype-man turned Reality TV sensation, "It is an honor and a blessing to have Terrell 'Touchdown' Owens on my show ... I am excited and I can't wait to complete an episode with one of my most favorite players in history."

Owens, a wide receiver for the Dallas Cowboys, recently completed his 12th NFL season.

A six-time Pro Bowl player, Owens holds the Cowboy's single season record for receiving touchdowns and ranks third in most touchdown receptions in NFL history.

On the show, he plays a character named Sean, which marks an acting debut of sorts. (With his other TV and film appearances, he's played himself) A rep for the production said the storyline for the episode was a "surprise."

"I am really excited about the show and grateful for the opportunity," the 34-year-old Alexander City, Alabama native added. "I am looking forward to the experience and working with the cast."
