Carol Burnett will appear on GLEEas Sue Sylvester’s mom. No word on who dad will be or if he’ll be a character.
Other confirmed guests for next season are John Stamos as a dentist and love interest for Emma and Cheyenne Jackson as the replacement coach for Shelby (Idina Menzel). Any others you’d like to see?
We still haven’t seen Rachel’s two gay dads (I still favor Matthew Broderick and Brian Stokes Mitchell) or anyone from most of the other kids’ families. Anyone you would suggest?
Wonderful news!
My dream guest star: Steve Perry.
We saw a picture of them once, when Rachel narrates the story of her conception. She says they still don’t know which of them is her biological father, and it cuts to a picture of her posing with her dads, one of whom is black and the other white.
Yeah, it would need some retconning, but that’s why I chose Brian Stokes Mitchell: he’s African-American but could (no pun intended) conceivably be her biological father with Idina Menzel.
Now that UGLY BETTY is over I’d love to see Vanessa Williams make an appearance- any number of possible roles but I think I’d especially like to see her as an older wealthy love interest for Will. Also, Mark Indelicato (the gay nephew from the show) would be a great counter for Kurt.
Wow. Pairing Carol Burnett with Jane Lynch is a stroke of utter genius. I may have to start watching the show for this.
Sue once said her parents were Nazi hunters, but then she also claims to be 29. It’ll be interesting to see if they keep this bit.
Also, Reuters reported that Susan Boyle is going to appear as a lunch lady in a Christmas episode.
Chris Colfer, the kid who plays Kurt, says his best friends in High School were the lunch ladies (and he went to special lengths to say he wasn’t being self pitying- that they were really cool people). I wonder if this is a Kurt plot. Or is Susan Boyle can act.
I hope they get Carol to sing. I love her voice.
The same Reuters article I mentioned above also says that they’ll have episodes featuring the music of Britney Spears and Paul McCartney.
They should get Patti LuPone, Bernadette and even Angela…
I just read the title and just knew what role she would be playing without even having to read the
OP. Great casting.
I was going to say this exact thing. The comedy potential is astronomical!
