Did Joe Jonas Agree to Do Hot in Cleveland on the Strength of Betty White's Justin Bieber Joke?

During its first season, TV Land's Hot in Cleveland has enjoyed the confines of old conventions -- multicamera format, hammy dialogue, and three archetypal ladies as leads. But after watching a preview video of guest-star Joe Jonas playing Melanie's (Valerie Bertinelli) son Will, I have to wonder: Did that singing superstar sign on because Betty White makes a decidedly current jab at Jonas peer Justin Bieber?

If I were Joe Jonas, I'd have signed on too -- Betty White sells that flat joke with enough bewilderment and brass to channel Judy Holliday. Next: Wendie Malick's character Victoria gets into a brawl over AARP membership with Lindsay Lohan.
