Fox’s first-year musical comedy has 19 Emmy noms
It’s 10 a.m. on a Wednesday in the middle of a cavernous soundstage at Paramount Studios, and while the world outside is bathed in sun, everything inside is dark — everything, that is, except for the warren of classrooms and offices that make up the set of Fox’s “Glee.”
A dozen cameramen, grips and assistants are squeezed into Principal Figgins’ tiny office as four of the cast’s regulars try out their lines. They’re rusty at first, as you might imagine given that today is their first day back from summer hiatus.
Two of the main characters are having an argument.
“Finn was just trying to help out his handicapable friend!” Will (Matthew Morrison) yells.
“He was insubordinate — twice!” a large, intimidating woman played by Dot Marie Jones shoots back. “I am the captain of the USS Kick Ass, not the USS Back Talk!”
She stumbles slightly on the line.

Lea is going to be on the cover of Glamour … here is part of her interview!
Glee’s Lea Michele might be the tiniest person in Hollywood (she’s 5’2”!), but make no mistake, she will take over the world, one show tune—and life goal—at a time.
On a sweltering late-summer morning, with her hit show on hiatus before its second season, actress Lea Michele walks into Mud, a cool New York City coffee shop. She’s wearing a bright orange slipdress and sandals. With her long brown hair piled on her head, she could be just another East Village hipster chick. But how many hipsters have been nominated for an Emmy? And how many of them carry a beautiful, loud-enough-to-break-glass voice in such an itty-bitty package?
Born in the Bronx and raised in New Jersey, Lea Michele Sarfati, 24, made it to Broadway in Les Miserables at age eight. By 21, she’d starred in the Tony-winning Spring Awakening. And then it was off to TV (musical TV) as Rachel Berry, the annoyingly willful but lovable teen on Glee, a show everyone is obsessed with—even coffee shop dudes, who make no effort to conceal their delight at the sight of Michele.
Believe me when I say she’s a lot to take in. A self-confessed caffeine addict, she has boundless energy. Weirdly, she’s not particularly theatrical. The intensity comes from the utter conviction in everything she says. Keep reading for big confidence lessons from the actress—she’s full of ‘em.

Jimmy Fallon scores with Emmys’ ‘Glee’ spoof

The show’s hush-hush opening skit adds luster to Fallon’s showbiz image. Even Springsteen is on board.
There was no doubt in Jimmy Fallon’s mind how he wanted to open the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards, right down to the iconic Bruce Springsteen song, “Born to Run,” that would serve as a soundtrack to the most ambitious “Glee” parody he’d ever done.
Fallon, who hosted Sunday night’s show for the first time, has repeatedly spoofed the popular Fox series on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.” But for the Emmy telecast, he wanted to assemble some friends and fellow Gleeks like Tina Fey, Jon Hamm and Randy Jackson for a six-minute filmed skit with live singing and dancing that he thought would start the program with a bang.
“He had the whole thing conceived in his head,” said Don Mischer, Emmy executive producer. “But usually if you’re doing any pre-taped segments, you like to have those in the can five or six days before the show. In this case, we didn’t have it until the morning of the Emmys. What would we have done if it didn’t work?”
