"Extra's" Jerry Penacoli caught up with "Two and a Half Men" creator Chuck Lorre at the PaleyFest 2012 panel discussion.

The big question remains: will TV's highest-paid man return for another season of the hit CBS show? Lorre weighed in, telling Penacoli, "I'm hopeful. There are more stories to tell and if people keep laughing, it's worth it to keep going. It's not up to me, it's up to Ashton, the whole cast, to decide whether to move forward."

In this preview of "Two and a Half Men," Alan (Jon Cryer) prepares Walden (Ashton Kutcher) for a date.

"Extra" host Mario Lopez caught up with actor Jon Cryer on the 2011 Emmys Red Carpet and asked if Cryer will watch the Comedy Central roast of his former "Two and a Half Men" co-star, Charlie Sheen.

"I'm not going to watch the roast because they are mean. I don't like roasts and I certainly don't like roasts of people I like," said Cryer. "So it's not really going to be something that I'm going to enjoy."

"Extra" was on the set of Ashton Kutcher's "Two and a Half Men," where the returning-to-prime-time star says he's not filling any big shoes for his part as billionaire Walden Schmidt. "I'm just playing the character written for me. And hoping some guy's gonna get off work and turn on his television on Monday, and take a load off."

The star, who has replaced Charlie's spot in singing the "Manly Men" theme song in the show's open, notes his new surroundings of being on the set of a sitcom. "You can't really screw around when you've got a live audience. You're either good or you're not and they're gonna let you know right away."

Ashton Kutcher taped his first episode of "Two and a Half Men" Friday, tweeting, "Preparing to tape the first ep of 2.5. Little nervous. All will be revealed!"

The episode taping, which took place Friday night, showed Charlie Harper's funeral scene, but audience members did not learn how he dies, according to TMZ. Sources claimed the audience only saw parts of the funeral, which featured Jon Cryer, Angus T. Jones, Melanie Lynskey and Jenny McCarthy.
