They’re here, they’re queer and they are finally on Glee.
Rachel Berry’s gay dads made their appearance on Glee this week with an entrance worthy of the two-and-a half season wait producers put us through.
There they were: on stage (where else?), with a grand piano, a song and some perfectly timed bickering about a Tony Danza dream. And instantly, Gleeks knew two things: this is why Rachel is the eccentric, work-a-holic diva she is, and this is some awesome chemistry between the Mr. Berrys-playing Jeff Goldblum and Brian Stokes Mitchell. Frankly the two look like they’ve been playing Rachel’s dads ever since their Broadway-hopeful surrogate was pregnant 19 years ago..
We know and love Jane Lynch for her awesomely dry humour, starring in Glee, Best in Show and Party Down (Please say you’ll appear in the Party Down movie!), not to mention stealing scenes in the 40-Year-Old Virgin, but did you know that she’s also a stepmother? Bunch sat down with Lynch at BlogHer last summer where she explained that while she and her wife’s daughter Hayden don’t actually share any DNA, they were undeniably cut from the same cloth.
So how do we think she’d be as a stepmom? Well, we think Sue Sylvester says it best:
Sesame Street does a lot of parody videos, from Old Spice to True Blood. They’re usually pretty clever, but they might have set the bar at a new height with this Glee sendup. Just, wow. Gheerios vs. the G Club arguing about how to pronounce sounds from the letter G? Amazing. The only thing that might have made it better would be real-life Jane Lynch with the G muppets. (And maybe toning down Mercedes’ and Kurt’s stereotype sassy black girl and flaming gay dude, respectively)
