Jane Lynch Spills All: From Glee Fame to Hollywood Secrets

Jane Lynch has more than 500 credits to her name, and she’s added another season of hosting “Celebrity Weakest Link” (new episodes air Mondays at 9pm on Fox) to them. Jane joins me to talk about her deep love of game shows; how it felt getting her “Glee” castmates back together to play “Weakest Link”; what it was like working with Christopher Guest in one of my favorite movies, “Best in Show,” and how she prepared for the role of Sazz Pataki on “Only Murders in the Building.”
