Just when you thought Glee couldn't get any better...They go and cast Molly Shannon.
Seriously, Glee, stop stealing all the good already!
A show rep and inside sources confirm that the former Saturday Night Live funnylady is set to join Glee at the end of the season—but her character won't be jumping on the Cheerios train anytime soon.
Here's what we're hearing about Molly and her soon-to-be-nemesis, Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch)... Sources confirm that Molly will play "Brenda Castle, the busty 45-year old new astronomy teacher and badminton coach at McKinley High School who is both an alcoholic and a pill-popper." Word is, Molly's character will exchange a few vocal jabs with Sue Sylvester. (Shocker!)
I, for one, am excited to see Molly Shannon on Glee! I was just watching her today in The Music Man, (where she appears with fellow Glee alum, Kristin Chenoweth) and boy, that girl can sing!
I am also excited that Ryan Murphy and co. are beginning to realize the importance of examining Sue's character...which I hope will happen now that they have cast her nemesis. What makes Sue tick? Does she have any real friends?
Are you excited?!
FAN tastic!
