Don’t count Jon Cryer among the out-of-work employees of ‘Two and a Half Men’ -- the Emmy-winning actor has a new job: Ellen DeGeneres’ receptionist.

In a short clip leading up to her Thursday show, DeGeneres walks through her offices only to discover that Cryer is her new receptionist.

‘I needed the work,’ he says, just before answering the phone.

Historically, Cryer has refrained from commenting on costar Charlie Sheen’s off-set antics -- but it seems some people were willing to accept that the shutdown of ‘Men’ by creator Chuck Lorre would finally push him to opine.

So when ‘Jon Cryer’ showed up on Twitter over the weekend, with tweets claiming that he was ‘shocked’ the show was ‘axed,’ the fact that the account wasn’t verified didn’t get in the way of several outlets that quickly reported Cryer had finally weighed in.

Alas, Cryer doesn’t have a Twitter account -- and his rep has since debunked the notion that his client spoke out about his costar.

Perhaps taking the receptionist job is one comical way to silently protest Sheen’s media blitz? Despite his high-profile boss, manning the phones is definitely is a downgrade from ‘Men.’

‘This is a trainwreck,’ he sighs in the clip. We’re guessing he’s talking about his tiger-blooded warlock costar, not his new gig. Watch the full clip on Show Tracker.
