However we are not in the kind of situation that requires this kind of inference. I have never seen a frame of Glee, but I have seen a lot of Jane Lynch's previous work. She is clearly among the most talented comic actors working these days, and I think it is unlikely that she suddenly lost her talent either just before or after she joined the cast of Glee. I notice the show is streaming on Netflix, and I imagine one day I will watch a few episodes, and if and when I do the only reason will be for Lynch. This is a brilliant move by the Emmy's by the way, who no doubt are struggling to appeal to a younger crowd (if Emmy voters had their way Candace Bergin and John Larroquette would still be winning statutes). Lynch is edgy without being threatening, and should be both funny and bump their numbers. Gervais (who I also love) was threatening without being terribly funny - I think this will work out better. -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
