Quoting Drew Carey: Cleveland Rocks!
Quoting the press release about new cast:
Sanaa Lathan, Nia Long and Kevin Michael Richardson join the cast of THE CLEVELAND SHOW.
The series follows everyone’s favorite soft-spoken neighbor CLEVELAND BROWN (voiced by Mike Henry) to his hometown in Virginia, as he settles down with his high school sweetheart, DONNA (voiced by Lathan), her unruly kids and his 14 year-old son, CLEVELAND JR.
As Cleveland settles into his new life with Donna, there are a few surprises in store for him including a rebellious new stepdaughter, ROBERTA (voiced by Long); a 5-year-old stepson who loves the ladies; as well as a collection of neighbors that includes a loudmouth redneck, LESTER (voiced by Richardson), a British family seemingly stuck in the Victorian era and a family of bears.
UPDATE: Roberts is now voiced by Reagan Gomez.

I’m looking forward to this. I love Family Guy, but I’m happy that Seth and company are doing a show that has Cleveland and other African-American characters as the main stars. And man, Nia Long and Sanaa Lathan are two of my favorite actresses (not to mention two of the FINEST), and I’m a big fan of the voice work of Kevin Michael Richardson and Mike Henry, of course. Can’t wait!

Im confused, it says here that the daughter Roberta will be voiced by Nia Long, but it says on the main fox page for The Cleveland Show that Roberta is voiced by Reagan Gomez. What’s up with that?
