Rosario Dawson, Giada De Laurentiis, Jim Belushi and Lance Bass will guest star in new episodes of Playhouse Disney’s hit Emmy-nominated series “Handy Manny,” beginning MONDAY, DECEMBER 7 (9:00 a.m. ET/PT) on Disney Channel. Dawson (“Sin City,” “Rent”) guest stars as a marine biologist, De Laurentiis (“Everyday Italian”) plays the owner of a pizza parlor, Belushi (“According to Jim”) joins in the fun as a drawbridge operator and Lance Bass (“Dancing with the Stars”) returns in the recurring role of klutzy “surfer dude,” Elliot.

The new episode schedule is as follows:

Monday, December 7

“A Whale of a Tale/Julieta’s Loose Tooth” (9:00 a.m. ET/PT) – Manny and the tools are enjoying a day at the beach when a marine biologist (voiced by Dawson) approaches them with an emergency – an orca whale has washed up on the shore. Manny and the tools build a makeshift whale-sized stretcher to assist with getting the giant mammal back into the water. In the second story of the episode, when Julieta’s loose tooth falls out and tumbles into the sink and down the drain, it is up to Manny and the tools to retrieve the lost tooth and return it to Julieta so she can put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.
