Glee Spoiler: Bullies & Burnett

Stay out out OUT of the comments if you haven't seen tonight's surprise and tear-laden episode. Otherwise dive in and dish the many unexpected developments. Yes, Glee is corny, over the top, and often unbelievable. But I believe it is changing the minds of millions of American teenagers. I don't see how it can't be. Now hand me another tissue.

Carol Burnett Cast For Glee

Carol Burnett has been cast to play Sue Sylvester's Nazi-hunting mother in an upcoming episode of Glee. Via Ester Goldberg:

Sue referenced her adventurous parents in an episode of the Fox phenom last season. Details of Mama Sylvester’s arrival are being kept under wraps, but I’m told Sue’s father will not be accompanying her. The six-time Emmy-winning Burnett has made only a handful of TV appearances in recent years, most notably playing Bree’s evil stepmother on Desperate Housewives in 2006 and a Rockette-turned-strip-club owner on Law & Order: SVU (for which she was nominated for an Emmy) in 2009.

Two Glee posts in one day? Oh, dear.

And Now, Carol Burnett

After Betty White's successful and highly-rated hosting of Saturday Night Live, advocates for geriatric comedians everywhere are now campaigning for Carol Burnett to get the gig. Of course, there's a Facebook group. According to organizers, Burnett, 77, has said take the job in a minute. I'd love to hear her open the show with her trademark Tarzan yell.
