<v Speaker 1>directed it. It meant everything to him and to me.

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 1>And we actually got a lot of the set pieces

<v Speaker 1>video monitor, the actual video and they they matched the

0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 1>actual type. It was black and white and they matched

0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:04.240
<v Speaker 1>the tones perfectly. Wow, that's so good and it worked.

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:08.200
<v Speaker 1>It was worth it. It was Chris and Amber. That's right.

0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you have a favorite Sue insult or rent that

0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:15.440

<v Speaker 1>what do I think about? Oh? Wow, what do I think?

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:19.959
<v Speaker 1>I like the one where I say I've decided I'm

0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:23.440
<v Speaker 1>no longer going to carry picture I d people shouldn't

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:27.799
<v Speaker 1>know who I am. I like that and oh, oh,

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.520
<v Speaker 1>oh my god. This is one of my favorites where

0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 1>I say, um, you know, this reminds me of the

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:36.360
<v Speaker 1>couple who bought my house. I assaulted the backyard so

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>nothing could grow there for a hundred years. Why they

0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:50.119
<v Speaker 1>wanted me to pay their closing costs. Yeah, it does,

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>it does, it does? Yeah, closing. You know when we

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.040
<v Speaker 1>were watching this show back for the first generation of

0:03:57.080 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 1>this podcast, I remember think because Trump was president at

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 1>the time and there was so much stuff, Sue would

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 1>say that, like, I'm pretty sure we had a segment

0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:06.480
<v Speaker 1>that was like, did Trump say this or did Sue

0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 1>say this? Like Trump or Sue? That's great. We were

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 1>laughing about it in and then it happened upon her,

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, became actually it became our national nightmare. That's right, Yeah,

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:24.760
<v Speaker 1>that's right. Yeah, Sue's funny TV not in real life.

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 1>Your favorite guest star. Oh god, that so many Oh

0:04:31.800 --> 0:04:37.359
<v Speaker 1>my god, um, oh gosh, so sorry. I mean I

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 1>loved Carol Burnett, had to work with her a couple

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:46.039
<v Speaker 1>of times. I know, just yeah, oh god, everybody was

0:04:46.080 --> 0:04:50.359
<v Speaker 1>so good. Kristin Chenowith knocked it out of the park.

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Stephen Totalowski, remember in the first year, he was the

0:04:55.279 --> 0:05:00.600
<v Speaker 1>old choir teacher who road, who was in a appropriate

0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:04.680
<v Speaker 1>with a boy. Remember that we couldn't do that. Now,

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.600
<v Speaker 1>he did quite a few inappropriate things. He was selling

0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, marijuana to the kids, right buck. And he

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:15.680
<v Speaker 1>had a very scary doll collection this isn't and his

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:19.440
<v Speaker 1>tease and his like kimono. It was odd. He was

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:23.799
<v Speaker 1>he sold it, He sold it. Yeah. Yeah, they should

0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:27.919
<v Speaker 1>have carried him on. I think gets scored easily and

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 1>then he moves on to something else. But whereas I

0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:32.760
<v Speaker 1>would be like, oh, this works, keep it and he's like,

0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:36.040
<v Speaker 1>we'll do something else. How did you feel get to work,

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:41.280
<v Speaker 1>getting to work with Hitchcock again? Fantastic? Yeah, just the best.

0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.680
<v Speaker 1>Oh my god, what did we do? We did that scene?

0:05:44.440 --> 0:05:46.720
<v Speaker 1>What did what did he? What did we do? It

0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 1>was the choir director for the Death Player the School

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 1>of the Deaf. Oh my god, just too much. And

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:55.920
<v Speaker 1>he was a writer on our show too. Then he

0:05:55.960 --> 0:05:58.440
<v Speaker 1>became a writer. Yeah, you know what did joy to

0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 1>have her? Someone wanted to know if people are surprised

0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:03.360
<v Speaker 1>when they meet you to find that you're actually nice

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.720
<v Speaker 1>and nothing like Sue. Do you have that reaction? Do

0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:11.880
<v Speaker 1>people have that reaction? I don't think anybody really expects

0:06:12.160 --> 0:06:15.839
<v Speaker 1>the person in real life to be what they're like

0:06:15.920 --> 0:06:19.120
<v Speaker 1>on television. I think we we we don't we get

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:22.880
<v Speaker 1>the I think for the most part. Yeah, our Sue

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:27.719
<v Speaker 1>and Sue is still happily married. Yes, you know, it

0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.279
<v Speaker 1>was rough going in the first couple of years, but

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:32.480
<v Speaker 1>they found some peace and they worked very well together.

0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:37.560
<v Speaker 1>They're great partners. So funny. That was glad she remembered that, right,

0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:42.200
<v Speaker 1>I married myself. Sue and Side you had some pretty

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:44.880
<v Speaker 1>wild storylines towards the act. Oh my god, I did.

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:48.320
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember when I ran for um Congress and

0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:50.839
<v Speaker 1>then they kind of dropped the storyline and they wrapped

0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 1>it up by having me hold a newspaper that I'm

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:56.960
<v Speaker 1>reading that says Sylvester loses. It's like, yeah, we're not

0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.599
<v Speaker 1>going to write about that anymore. I remember being really

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.080
<v Speaker 1>excited about that storyline and then it just sort of

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.160
<v Speaker 1>it got lost to something else, which happened. It was

0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 1>what do they call it, the Island of Lost storylines?

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:14.320
<v Speaker 1>That's funny. Did you take home many track suits? I did.

0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't have any more now, though I took home

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 1>about four. I gave them to yeah, and I gave

0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 1>them to like m Um charity things they would ask

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:27.200
<v Speaker 1>and they would raffle them all. And then I hooked

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:30.120
<v Speaker 1>up with something. Not hooked up, but I communicated with

0:07:30.160 --> 0:07:34.360
<v Speaker 1>somebody on Twitter and she said that she was my

0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.360
<v Speaker 1>height and she weighed about fifty pounds more than I did,

0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 1>and that she was going to lose that white so

0:07:39.240 --> 0:07:40.680
<v Speaker 1>she could fit in the tracks it. I said, you

0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:42.720
<v Speaker 1>lose that weight, I'll send you a track suit. So

0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:45.000
<v Speaker 1>she sent me before and after a picture she lost it,

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 1>and I sent her Oh my gosh, that's awesome, gorgeous store.

0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:57.960
<v Speaker 1>Did you take anything from set from your office? I didn't,

0:07:58.240 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 1>did you, guys? Yes? You remember Matt had brought that

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.320
<v Speaker 1>weener dog in the choir room. It was like a

0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:14.000
<v Speaker 1>porcelain dog, and he brought it from his choir room,

0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:19.160
<v Speaker 1>his choir teachers, um like room, classroom, and he put

0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:21.000
<v Speaker 1>it in his classroom and then he took it home.

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.800
<v Speaker 1>I remember that. And then I took the clock off

0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:29.040
<v Speaker 1>the wall because of the I just it made sense

0:08:29.080 --> 0:08:30.600
<v Speaker 1>to me because I was like, well, if this would

0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:32.480
<v Speaker 1>go up on my wall in my house so it

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:36.640
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't look out of the ordinary. No, yeah, that's an

0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:42.280
<v Speaker 1>old school clock. It is pretty fun. Remember the soundproofing material,

0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>the squares, they're very expensive. Darren ripped them down and

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:55.440
<v Speaker 1>put him in his studio. That's right. Was very smart

0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:58.840
<v Speaker 1>of him to do that. It is very affendship, to

0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 1>be honest. Yeah, you were going to say some are

0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:04.120
<v Speaker 1>there any songs that you wish you could have sang?

0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:08.959
<v Speaker 1>M hmm that there was? Oh I pitched this to Ryan.

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Do you remember that song? Is that All there is?

0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:18.679
<v Speaker 1>Is that? All there is? My friend? Then let's keep dancing.

0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:21.080
<v Speaker 1>It's kind of a book. It's from like the fifties

0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.200
<v Speaker 1>or the sixties, and I wanted to do it like

0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:29.679
<v Speaker 1>a German beer hall kin. Is that all there is?

0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.640
<v Speaker 1>I want to be dancing with someone depressed when I

0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:36.520
<v Speaker 1>lost Congress. Oh if I won, If I won Congress,

0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:38.400
<v Speaker 1>which they didn't have me win, So wouldn't that be

0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.120
<v Speaker 1>great if I win? And then the camera comes in

0:09:40.240 --> 0:09:44.280
<v Speaker 1>kind of like the President's men, real close, and I go, well, now,

0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:49.079
<v Speaker 1>what do we do want? I have to go work exactly,

0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:51.439
<v Speaker 1>and then and and cut to me, like dancing with

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:58.040
<v Speaker 1>somebody maybe even like um, what's her name, coach beast? Yes, yes,

0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:04.560
<v Speaker 1>like dancing with her. I thought that would be so funny. Guys, numbers.

0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:07.680
<v Speaker 1>We just watched the episode where you get to do

0:10:07.760 --> 0:10:11.120
<v Speaker 1>your swing dancing in preparation for Rod Remington and you

0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:14.680
<v Speaker 1>did that big number with Daddie. There's so much it's

0:10:14.720 --> 0:10:18.040
<v Speaker 1>really it's fun when you got to actually do musical

0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.440
<v Speaker 1>stuff with us. That was the hardest part. That was

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:22.679
<v Speaker 1>the dancing stuff. I hated it. Every time I got it,

0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:27.559
<v Speaker 1>I was like, and they gave me a lot of dancing,

0:10:27.760 --> 0:10:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah they did. It was complicated dancing. Yeah, a lot

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.000
<v Speaker 1>of it was really so beyond my skill, and I

0:10:35.120 --> 0:10:39.760
<v Speaker 1>worked so hard. And there was a thing at the

0:10:39.880 --> 0:10:42.679
<v Speaker 1>end where I did the ballroom dancing, the Astaire and

0:10:42.840 --> 0:10:48.040
<v Speaker 1>um Ginger Rogers thing with Heaven I'm in Heaven and

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:50.720
<v Speaker 1>we shot it in black and white, Matt and I.

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:55.319
<v Speaker 1>It was fun. That's so good. Yeah, it's beautiful. I did.

0:10:55.360 --> 0:11:06.280
<v Speaker 1>I got to do some really fun things. There's been

0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:11.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of questions asking for um, like favorite memory

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:17.640
<v Speaker 1>of working with Naya, you guys got I got to

0:11:17.679 --> 0:11:22.199
<v Speaker 1>tell her some hilarious things I called her. Remember when

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.400
<v Speaker 1>she had her boobs made bigger in real in real

0:11:25.480 --> 0:11:29.120
<v Speaker 1>life and she came in and I was like, um,

0:11:29.320 --> 0:11:31.840
<v Speaker 1>I called her boobs? What did I call? Someone out

0:11:31.880 --> 0:11:34.800
<v Speaker 1>there knows what I called her something like that. But

0:11:35.080 --> 0:11:36.800
<v Speaker 1>then I had this thing where I said to her,

0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:42.640
<v Speaker 1>why would someone your age, with a perfect little body

0:11:43.160 --> 0:11:47.040
<v Speaker 1>wanted into it? Why would you do that? And it

0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:50.080
<v Speaker 1>was kind of James to asking Naya to why why?

0:11:51.679 --> 0:11:55.160
<v Speaker 1>But that's what that's what the kids do. And also

0:11:55.240 --> 0:11:58.080
<v Speaker 1>what else? Um? Oh, she she ripped me a new

0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:01.120
<v Speaker 1>one and pushed me again the wall. Do you remember

0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:04.360
<v Speaker 1>that torn? It was after Died Together. It was the

0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:07.920
<v Speaker 1>episode of the Corey episode, and she said you were

0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:10.800
<v Speaker 1>never nice to him, you never liked him, and that

0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.080
<v Speaker 1>no one's ever talked to Sue like that. And I

0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:15.960
<v Speaker 1>was standing up and she threw me against the wall. Whoa?

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 1>And she did? Nya? Threw me against the wall? Yeah? Right,

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:24.880
<v Speaker 1>she had some for sure. There was such inherent, inherent

0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:29.080
<v Speaker 1>goodness and Tenaya and to so much of who you

0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 1>guys are was in those characters because Ryan smart and

0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:36.240
<v Speaker 1>he would see things. He would see the things that

0:12:36.280 --> 0:12:39.400
<v Speaker 1>you were, your achilles heels, the things that maybe you

0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:42.719
<v Speaker 1>were ashamed of, and the things that made you wonderful,

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:46.960
<v Speaker 1>and he would highlight all of it. Yea, it's it's

0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:50.559
<v Speaker 1>he saw right through us. What about the scene where

0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.120
<v Speaker 1>was it Diana or was it Nya where you made

0:12:53.120 --> 0:12:56.280
<v Speaker 1>them take out their fake boob cutlets and slap themselves

0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:59.360
<v Speaker 1>in the face with them? Wasn't that right? Wasn't there

0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:03.000
<v Speaker 1>was Heather or Brittany. It was Brittany, and my head

0:13:03.120 --> 0:13:05.480
<v Speaker 1>it was Naya, and I don't think it was Diana,

0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:12.520
<v Speaker 1>but it was definitely Heather and uh san fantana a

0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:15.880
<v Speaker 1>Brittany sentence exactly exactly, And I slap yourselves in the

0:13:15.920 --> 0:13:18.160
<v Speaker 1>face with themselves. And she was also that I want

0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:23.160
<v Speaker 1>you to smell your armpits. That is the smell failure

0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 1>stinking up my office. And she runs out cry. She

0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.080
<v Speaker 1>runs a crying because you take away her tanning privileges

0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:34.880
<v Speaker 1>for the year. Oh yeah, it's so good. I remember

0:13:34.880 --> 0:13:37.000
<v Speaker 1>I was taking their uniforms. I was having them sent

0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:40.240
<v Speaker 1>to France to be dry clean. And it costs like

0:13:40.240 --> 0:13:44.480
<v Speaker 1>a hundred thousand dollars a year. Oh my gosh, let's

0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:50.520
<v Speaker 1>oh god. Ian's insane. Ian's absolutely insane. Someone wanted to

0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:52.440
<v Speaker 1>know if you think Sue is a hero or a villain.

0:13:53.240 --> 0:13:57.720
<v Speaker 1>She's a hero. She's not a villain. She's outwardly a villain.

0:13:58.440 --> 0:14:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Um but uh, I mean she can She was mean.

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:07.600
<v Speaker 1>But the great thing about Glee is that no one

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:11.480
<v Speaker 1>really took it to heart. No like I would, you know,

0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:16.800
<v Speaker 1>make fun of everybody Asian number one, frankin teen um wheels,

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:19.280
<v Speaker 1>kid in the wheelchair. But you guys will be like,

0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:23.480
<v Speaker 1>but nobody got really got their feelings hurt. So she

0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 1>was She was benign in that way. And when she

0:14:28.840 --> 0:14:31.440
<v Speaker 1>stood up for people, and she would never let it

0:14:31.480 --> 0:14:34.960
<v Speaker 1>get too far. She would apologize, she would she would

0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.520
<v Speaker 1>go to war take you know, take something to the

0:14:37.560 --> 0:14:41.480
<v Speaker 1>mat for somebody. Um, she was a defender, a warrior

0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:45.480
<v Speaker 1>who you know, she was flawed. She she went, she went.

0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:48.960
<v Speaker 1>She was so protective that she of herself and people

0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:51.800
<v Speaker 1>and of her tender heart. That she made some bad

0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.600
<v Speaker 1>decisions sometimes and she was meaner than she needed to be.

0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:56.360
<v Speaker 1>But for the most part, she's a hero. But that's

0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:59.880
<v Speaker 1>a great question because she's both. But to me, you know,

0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm never gonna play an out right villain anyway. Who's

0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:04.400
<v Speaker 1>going to play an outright villain? You can't think that way.

0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:06.600
<v Speaker 1>The actor has to think, what's what's going on in here?

0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:10.000
<v Speaker 1>What's really going on that that I can understand and humanize.

0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Someone wanted to know what was your favorite nickname for

0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:18.240
<v Speaker 1>a character? For everyone? I did. I liked Frank and

0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:21.880
<v Speaker 1>Team for Corey because he was so tall and so goofy.

0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:27.400
<v Speaker 1>He didn't fit into his body. You know, it was weird, gangly.

0:15:28.120 --> 0:15:32.440
<v Speaker 1>He was gangly, and even watching him walk sometimes it

0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:35.360
<v Speaker 1>was like he never really inhabited his body because he

0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:37.640
<v Speaker 1>was still so young. You know that maybe as he

0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:40.000
<v Speaker 1>got older, but there was a part of him. It's

0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.680
<v Speaker 1>like this ten year old kid who was five ft

0:15:42.720 --> 0:15:44.600
<v Speaker 1>tall and now all of a sudden, he's six ft two.

0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:48.720
<v Speaker 1>So I love that I called him Frank and Tea

0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:56.320
<v Speaker 1>and yeah, puppies, Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's kind of like

0:15:56.360 --> 0:16:00.440
<v Speaker 1>a big dope exactly. It's like a big dobermint pinture

0:16:01.040 --> 0:16:04.000
<v Speaker 1>or a lab as a puppy. They're kind of big,

0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:07.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, they're they're seventy pounds with her like two

0:16:07.280 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 1>years old, but they're like, yeah. I try to think

0:16:11.120 --> 0:16:13.800
<v Speaker 1>if there were any other I like, I love that

0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:17.760
<v Speaker 1>you never called Emma Emma. You only I think I

0:16:17.800 --> 0:16:20.800
<v Speaker 1>can tell you only called her Emma once. Ever, there

0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:24.120
<v Speaker 1>was always some other version of that. Yeah, I will

0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:26.840
<v Speaker 1>tell you one thing I did improvise. I was talking

0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:29.520
<v Speaker 1>to her and I was telling her, what's what in

0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:32.000
<v Speaker 1>the teacher's loaned, and then I looked down. You know,

0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.360
<v Speaker 1>she always wore like big, like a big bow or

0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:36.560
<v Speaker 1>something like that. She had a big bow in the

0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:39.520
<v Speaker 1>middle of her blouse. And I said, and that bow

0:16:39.640 --> 0:16:45.160
<v Speaker 1>is insane. You know, Jama was just on the show.

0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:51.360
<v Speaker 1>She's talking about all of her bows. Yeah. She was

0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:56.440
<v Speaker 1>so good. Yeah, and she and Matt would have been

0:16:56.480 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Sir Chuster would have been such a cute little couple.

0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Do you have a favorite episode or a favorite season.

0:17:03.840 --> 0:17:08.359
<v Speaker 1>I think the first season is my favorite. Yeah, yeah, okay,

0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:10.480
<v Speaker 1>I think all my favorite shows are probably in the

0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:16.040
<v Speaker 1>first season. Yeah. It seems to be the unanimous answer

0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:28.040
<v Speaker 1>for whenever we ask people if Ryan Murphy wanted to

0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:30.600
<v Speaker 1>do a sus In Vester spinoff, would you do it

0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:37.560
<v Speaker 1>in a second? In a hot minute? Alright, should we

0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:40.480
<v Speaker 1>fit in like one or two more? Yeah, let's do it. Okay,

0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:43.639
<v Speaker 1>I'll pick one. You pick one so we can release Jane.

0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:49.240
<v Speaker 1>That's right from this from our grip are typo oh.

0:17:49.240 --> 0:17:51.240
<v Speaker 1>Somebody asked, like, what was your reaction to the scene

0:17:51.240 --> 0:17:56.359
<v Speaker 1>where Santana yelled and pushed Sue in season five? Okay, good, good, good, Yeah,

0:17:56.400 --> 0:18:00.440
<v Speaker 1>they're into it. She played it beautifully. We had a

0:18:00.480 --> 0:18:02.639
<v Speaker 1>whole monologue. You know. She was one of those people

0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:05.439
<v Speaker 1>who could look at the script in the morning and

0:18:05.480 --> 0:18:08.720
<v Speaker 1>she had some monologues like I did, and not only

0:18:08.760 --> 0:18:14.600
<v Speaker 1>be off book, but perfect, played it perfect that picture photographers.

0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:17.520
<v Speaker 1>I never could understand how she did that. It was

0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:22.440
<v Speaker 1>always so impressive. Sharp mind. Do you think your portrayal

0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:26.280
<v Speaker 1>of Sue evolved or changed over the series as the

0:18:26.359 --> 0:18:31.120
<v Speaker 1>character became so iconic. I think even when I started,

0:18:31.119 --> 0:18:34.119
<v Speaker 1>like season one, I knew there had to be a

0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:38.480
<v Speaker 1>reason why she was who she was, Um and why

0:18:38.560 --> 0:18:42.119
<v Speaker 1>she was so mean, And that's when I came up with.

0:18:42.200 --> 0:18:44.119
<v Speaker 1>I came up with for myself that she had been

0:18:44.160 --> 0:18:46.320
<v Speaker 1>bullied in high school and she was getting her revenge

0:18:46.359 --> 0:18:49.640
<v Speaker 1>by going back to teach high school. And then they

0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:51.919
<v Speaker 1>gave me the down syndrome sister. I think it was

0:18:52.160 --> 0:18:54.080
<v Speaker 1>like either the first season, at the beginning of the

0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:59.040
<v Speaker 1>second season, and then from there Becky Um became my

0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:02.000
<v Speaker 1>best friend in my Luke Tenant in crime and evilness,

0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:09.920
<v Speaker 1>evil during and um, so that deepened it for me. Um.

0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:13.080
<v Speaker 1>I think her, you know, they always kept her pretty

0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:16.640
<v Speaker 1>mean because her, but they gave me more redemptive moments.

0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:21.760
<v Speaker 1>They gave me more heroic moments and more courageous moments,

0:19:21.760 --> 0:19:24.960
<v Speaker 1>and more honest moments as time went on, like when

0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:31.000
<v Speaker 1>my sister died, when Horrid died and um uh, you know,

0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:33.000
<v Speaker 1>towards the end, when I was vice president and then

0:19:33.000 --> 0:19:35.320
<v Speaker 1>we did that. That was the hardest thing to shoot

0:19:35.359 --> 0:19:42.960
<v Speaker 1>that day in the auditorium last It was hard. Yeah. Yeah,

0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Is there a Glee character that you were? You were

0:19:45.800 --> 0:19:48.240
<v Speaker 1>like in high school. Oh my god, that's such a

0:19:48.240 --> 0:19:54.359
<v Speaker 1>good question. No, not really. I'm trying to think of

0:19:54.440 --> 0:19:58.760
<v Speaker 1>maybe one of the boys, because the girls aren't no,

0:19:58.920 --> 0:20:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I know, m hm m hmm. How about you guys. Yeah,

0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:09.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what I would. I mean, it's Rachel. Yeah,

0:20:09.720 --> 0:20:16.840
<v Speaker 1>really you were and musical, very driven, very type a

0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:21.399
<v Speaker 1>very known like made myself known in school. Yeah, you know,

0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:25.120
<v Speaker 1>the popular girl who did everything and did everything right. Good. Yeah,

0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:30.479
<v Speaker 1>that's right. And I flew under the radar um I

0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:33.520
<v Speaker 1>wanted and I was like the class but I really

0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:37.960
<v Speaker 1>kept myself safe. You know. I was everybody's friend, but

0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:44.280
<v Speaker 1>not their best friend exactly. And a lot of it

0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:48.000
<v Speaker 1>for me was like, yeah, I belonged to a bunch

0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:50.760
<v Speaker 1>of them, like I was with the popular girls, and

0:20:50.800 --> 0:20:53.200
<v Speaker 1>then I was with like the kind of the choir

0:20:53.359 --> 0:20:55.919
<v Speaker 1>nerds and the theater nerds. But a lot of it,

0:20:55.960 --> 0:20:59.720
<v Speaker 1>too was that I knew I was coming to the

0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:03.679
<v Speaker 1>uh awareness that I was gay. I learned what it

0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:05.320
<v Speaker 1>was when I was in high school, and I was like,

0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:08.320
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, I think I have that. And I

0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:11.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't know anybody else. I had one friend and he

0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:14.440
<v Speaker 1>was my best friend, Chris, and he was like completely

0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:16.960
<v Speaker 1>open with himself. Certainly not in our little high school.

0:21:17.000 --> 0:21:21.440
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, he caught the gay and now what happens.

0:21:21.480 --> 0:21:26.320
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes it happens sometimes. All right, well, Jane, we're gonna

0:21:26.440 --> 0:21:32.560
<v Speaker 1>let you go. Thank you a lot. It's my pleasure.
