They want me dead.

That's what Tom Bergeron, as talk show host Bobby Mann, whispers to Rick Castle during a commercial break during next week's special episode of Castle.

Titled "The Late Shaft," the installment finds Castle and Beckett investigating Mann's death, as his body turns up later that same night. While looking into what happened, Castle is seduced by another guest star: Kelly Carlson as an aspiring actress.

Also appearing on the episode, and in the photos below from it: Fred Willard and Bill Bellamy. It's gonna be a fun hour of television.
