9:00 pm
you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realized everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm tom hartman welcome to the big picture. on larry king our jane lynch the how larry as actors on the moment she knew i remember thinking myself it's the people in this room knew the truth of the company these people would like to see what is the future hold for susan best play your kids she's a bitch she's not going to be. brad plus one of the things that nora ephron had was such a point of view that a lot of women like look back and i think lena dunham's the same machine is kind of . says it like it is from still maybe not just her generation but all of us all next on larry king now.
9:01 pm
welcome to larry king now in new york with one of my favorite people jane lynch and jane jane lynch you know or so sylvester of course on the fox hit series glee she recently made her broadway debut in one of the great roles ever for the stage an emmy she plays miss and again she's hosting a new game show called celebrity game night on n.b.c. she's a golden globe winner an emmy winner of people source award winner even the television critics association trophy and maybe even a tony coming why did you why did you come back to the stage well i you know it's been about twenty years and i started on stage and i that was my first love being drawn to the stage and getting i have been on stage now twenty years but doing annie the first time i stepped out there i was like. i have been in place a lot and come about well that james the pine and the crew called my agent said you know katie finneran who god. did the role had again got
9:02 pm
a television series michael j. fox i'm serious at the end so she'd be leaving the show would i be interested in doing it over the summer and i said you betcha i've known this musical forever i know every breath of of the score my big fan of dorothy loudon bridges who originated mishan again and. gosh it was just it was a perfect magical coming together of things that you know i said the absolute that my friend up which you know toes me is still comes down to theater when the curtain opens it's just you know we can hope you know directed me to write write those and to write in television to me sit in your trailer for a long time and you know there's you don't have any skin in the game unless you're you know directing or your producer you kind of i mean i'm sure you know we all work very hard and we have we invest a lot of ourselves into movies and television but we ultimately have no say in how it's going to look and you know when the curtain goes up you have the next two and a half hours to get regulate your energy and to go on your journey on your arc and
9:03 pm
nobody is doing it for you but you and i love that it was about performing on the tonys really i was really nervous i don't think i've been that nervous in a lot of time well bernadette peters was right here patti lu pone what's the fair r.v. fight scene was right there and i set up the sediment real estate of musicals and it was amazing and the sound there is as they do that i get i don't know in our set was beautiful the lighting was beautiful and the kids did a great job and it was a very exhilarating does hillary so stamp if you're a movie goer terrible net theater. do you do you find something to like him ham it. you know her well i view her as somebody who thinks she's just in the wrong place at the end if it weren't for the depression and how horrible things are in the world and she would be elsewhere and she would be thriving and she's not cruel she can be cruel yes it's a side she takes out her frustrations on the kids you know the same way so so let's
9:04 pm
turn to you know she's angry and upset and frustrated and she takes it out on these little kids who she's supposed to be taking care of. when you step on the stage on broadway and you started. to scream yeah yeah i didn't think it would happen for me i'm it wasn't even on my bucket list and it is a scene stealing role is it that two terrific songs and if done correctly are showstoppers indeed but is w.c. fields once the right move or work with children or animals got a dog on stage to both both of them really gets to me well you know what i think that it separates the wheat from the chaff is the worst actors go and i think if you can rise to the occasion and do a good job with adorable children singing and looking all cute and victimized then i think when the sun will come up tomorrow it always does. nora ephron is right love lost what i wore i knew nora very well you know when i started to know her well or the lady me out really got a hit play as well as yeah broadwood lucky guy tom hanks is illinois is is those
9:05 pm
leaves done in the nation or wow yeah well you know one of the things that nora ephron had was such a point of view that a lot of women like yes i agree yeah yet you kind of burst through the walls and sid you know being a woman is this but then nora was so empowered herself that you know women just really aspired to be her and i think linda dunham's the same way she she's vulnerable like like nora would be she also had great own abilities in her characters and you know lean is kind of. says it like it is for so many people not just her generation but all of us know it was so funny yeah she was really a funny funny woman and she's one of those people i didn't know her for a long time but i did get to know her a bit in the last few years and she's one of those people who just loved life and she loved other people she loved being a champion for other people and going back to little if we go back to glee i'm waiting you know i'm hopeful but you know you based of picked up my option i nothing is done i'm from the theater nothing's ever for sure how many years wait do
9:06 pm
it'll be five if i lucky enough to get another season so it can happen to her in the midst of this yeah. sue sylvester was fired for bringing a loaded gun to school and actually she didn't tell him she was covering for her lieutenant with down syndrome and so she was fired and she got a new job at the twenty three hour fitness as a robot an aerobics instructor so as far as she's concerned i think she's probably lying to herself she's like a new lease on life but we'll see what happens when you say you haven't been you mean there's a chance they go now let's just you know what i did for stations i i've i have no reason why it does that way because we don't know where our next jobs coming from maybe we like to torture ourselves to something crazy henry fonda told me once the worst feeling in the world is between scripts so you never think the curtains coming up again is a good oh yeah one a month you got you got it but oh well isn't that nice the as a you know what yes i do you know i think that things are
9:07 pm
a little better for me that now than they were ten years ago in terms of getting stat steady employment but i think it's kind of a we got our kind of bread and i think this is a good thing to take nothing for granted to be grateful for every job i understand or some families in newtown connecticut upset with the way we handled the gun shoot him how do you feel oh i do you know i don't want to add to anybody's pain and i'm sure ryan murphy didn't want to do that either right ryan feels a responsibility to. tell the stories of what high school kids go through and he always goes to the headlines to. you know to see what's really current so he can be really you know realistic about it and you know this is something that concerns high school kids these days and so he did his take on it and then like i said and i think ryan said the same thing we certainly didn't want to add anybody's pain does it leave large racially topic so i like maybe the bad word but is not
9:08 pm
afraid he's not afraid yet he's not afraid and sometimes when you do that you you know not everybody loves it and i'm sure. roma's hannigan is sue a villain yes well no not like a hitch if she's a bitch she's not going to sue is not like hannibal lector you know it's not dangerous she's not going to you she will threaten but ultimately she is just a kind of wounded warrior she had she sees the world is her in addition where's the uniform she's militaristic you know she's what she's really defending zero tender heart that's how isolated you think it showed be it i knew it would be something i knew it would be a hit with just didn't know how big it would be i didn't know that it was there would be like a term gleek i didn't know that it would be the sensation it is but i think music in musical theater too is so powerful and i think people love it and you know people come out of the woodworks and the show i love the show now did you seeing
9:09 pm
him on the stage are they going to assume you could lead to glee which is a safe assumption are they going to have you singing in glee i don't know ask ryan oh i've done a few songs i would love to do more you know i i love singing i am probably not the best singer on the kit and the cast but i do enjoy it very much so i hope that it will very close yeah they're really close yeah they're their friends they were all bunch of more just in mexico my niece works on the show too and she's friendly with them as well they're all they all bond together is the wider is still to say the cult. i think it's wide i think even when it was i think it's good to put it this way i think it started out wide and maybe it's called now i think it one of the reasons it was such a phenomenon was that it kind of was firing on all cylinders in terms of the demographics everybody loved it and now if they did the audiences winnow down a big it's still a nice big audience but. you know i don't think they're it's not that huge thing
9:10 pm
that of course the shiny new thing with regard to gay and lesbian the way it handles for instance it would for gresham oh yes and i love that it's a little high school in ohio or maybe this would ever happen yeah i think it's quite progressive and you know ryan takes that seriously that's the puts these real issues into you know the the halls of mckinley i you think the public is strongly moving yeah i think it's over it's in it over fifty percent anyway it's fifty six percent fifty six percent of the thing is that it was back to a vote total for who would play which has a yeah i think that not only is it fifty for sixty percent now i think it's like jumped ten points in like just four years ago is that so it's happening like it was sort of be like this yeah yeah well i'll go back to. what's hollywood game night hollywood game what we do this thing and hollywood i don't know if you do it here doesn't see you peasants out here the game nights where you play these are very low reference level games you don't need to know tolstoy or it think like that it's all
9:11 pm
about pop culture and. we do our little version of charades a name that tune in this game celebrity sean hayes is pretty famous for having them in his house on he's a great guy as you know on the show he is executive producer he created this baby it worked on his own his own the parties i would. turn it on it's a stand simply takes place in my hollywood mansion and six celebrities to civilians so two teams of four and we played these crazy games everybody gets nuts they get their buddies drinking who are willing to do yeah we've got like amy sedaris amy sedaris i wish we had amy sayres. amy poehler and jason sudeikis we had tom arnold we had to barbie jewelry we met perry yeah we had tons and tons of fun to be prizes twenty five grand for the civilian if they win and then twenty five grand a match to the favorite charity of the celebrity who helps them to do or is sort of it's like party goers it's taking takes place actually in a house we shot it in home so we have these about eight or now but twenty people
9:12 pm
kind of hanging out sitting on couches watching us would be if i ever see billions will they just the same we find other game show. you know the i'm the host yes so i love game night i'm a big fan of game night very competitive and you want me on your team you don't want to play against me but i hope you do so i don't compose it compete i just make sure everybody you know stays within the stream hazen's kind of a brilliant idea yeah he has come up with this idea based on his own his own games i've which i've been to them back when jane lynch at the list. here is mitt romney trying to figure out the name of that thing that we americans call i don't know. i'm sorry i'm just a guy who cares an awful lot like you. are you know what kind of mind the terrorist
9:13 pm
cells you know want to give us a defeat terrorism on the on the liberal and the christian. kids usually go to the. you know the corporate media distracts us from what you and i should care about because they're profit driven industry that sell the confessionals to garbage because that breaking news i'm having martin and we're going to break that.
9:14 pm
jane lynch when did the gay thing start to change america plow i think it kind of went like a vet and we think if i can't do is there an incident i don't know that there's an incident but it. a lot of people started to come out like melissa etheridge and k.d. lang and allen why i think was a big point ellen really i think we can point back to ellen because that i mean she was on the cover of time magazine and everything and she kind of took one for the team back there and back in the ninety's and there was the kiss too on an ellen and
9:15 pm
no one go l.a. law no no there was a kiss on l.a. all is meant is an l.a. law that roseanne oh i'm roseanne that's right that's right i'm trying to think what was it was laurie metcalf and somebody and oh gosh what's her name essential bernard and they were not yeah that happened but you know i think that it i think it really started this this momentum i would say when ellen came out and then one willing grace came on n.b.c. sat everybody down in the cast and i know this because sean told me and make him a lousy told me the saying you know you might get some black backlash because as a gay show about what didn't happen it was a totally new to come out but i never really came out i mean the people kind of blazed the trail for me like melissa as you know somebody that i never was i never called the press conference i just never had the i was and i all these people had come up before me and i just kind of walked down the path like oh no i have to talk to so many in the community over the years i feel as a pioneer marshall ever understood prejudice against it i knew when i was
9:16 pm
heterosexual i didn't choose it right there was i didn't choose it you didn't choose the course to how did you know when you were well i knew when i was having crushes on girls and i always had a crush on somebody in school and then you know what at one point i heard that there was this thing called the gay and i went. i have the girl version of that and i think i was about twelve when i realized i had you never dated boys i tried i had a couple of dates yeah and what happens it was to i fit felt so wrong. larry there was a silly thing in my stomach i was i would put his arm around in a movie felt wrong wrong wrong wrong wrong never never desired it wrong wrong wrong in the first time i kissed a woman i was right right right right right which you don't know why not only that you know is that i know that we have preferences but what was it like to get married oh bob the wonderful wonderful it was a i never thought i would you know every night would it life change that day for me you know you haven't changed and you know divorce now i'm going to know what
9:17 pm
happened well what happened is you know my vision about what happened well it's you know i mean it's just it's two people who just decide it's better to go apartment stay together alone together three years friends yeah and we have a little girl she has a little girl who is you know a very dear told cheesed ten and she's doing great so she has her when you met and she had her when we met yes so she had had a had to sit through you know she had she was with another woman where she was we actually she gave birth to hayden she had been with somebody for ten years are you close to the girl i did yes yes yeah is it how hard is it when the bulls are any state is it is it has to be have to remain adults which we have you know where we re keep the everybody's that was specially haden's good in our mind and you know and it's not dramatic it's not a horrible thing it's something that we're dealing with did you have a girl who had crush on my friend julie andrews i did oh huge yeah yeah from the
9:18 pm
sound of music just loved her i wanted to be of entre fits so bad did you hide your sexual oh yes oh yes until it is that like that all it is a lives or law a well to do you know that yelling you're living a lie in a sense and you have this big blot of shame that i remember thinking myself if the people in this room knew the truth about me none of these people would like me and i'm a big dog yeah did you ever have to. date because it would be the smart thing to do for the career no one knows who walked the red carpet not at all and also on the character actors and like i said by the time i was walking red carpets ellen had come out melissa had come out you know so many people if you think you were discriminated against for course of it i don't think so i don't think i ever lost a job because i was gay are you a fan of mr obama in that subject yeah yeah yeah i think he's done a great took a while oh he did when you cared to get him to yeah yeah yeah maybe i'd who knows
9:19 pm
what goes on but you know i think that the president's job is so political and he's got so many things on his plate i think that there's you know i have i don't i don't listen to politicians i know you know because they're you know i don't think anybody moves from their deepest convictions i think it's all political they kind of have to try to please too many people were losing privacy in america. yeah and an example of that is the divorce everybody has to know about it please feel about that. you know i know a lot of people have concerns about oh my you know why people are hacking into my emails and so i don't care about that stuff i just don't like having people stop me on the street take my picture that's the only thing i don't yeah yeah but i'm sure you've gone as far as you know people on the street with children when i said children they throw at you ok we have a social media questions for you certainly are the actual runs ninety seven s. what do you think is the meanest thing you've ever said to any character on glee oh gosh let's see gosh i can't remember that tear enjoyed doing it though i do.
9:20 pm
at kevin young tweets charlie needs you you should guest star on anger man management i would be fired is closed i would guess i would we've talked about it and if we can make it work we'll do it oh good rock i maybe i'll come in. and it was something maybe i can as a transgender someone who's transitioning to a larger audience i love them and think is an angel just terrible yeah that guy who sunday on instagram as if you could give a message to children who are being bullied in the schools but which is also there's this great thing called it gets better campaign than savages campaign i think it's just hard to give anybody advice so you know do you because sometimes the bully is supported by the powers that be you know and people so i was doing and yeah that from what i understand it's especially if you're bullied for being gay
9:21 pm
that you know they turn up was the biggest thing and that's why i think people give all kids get bullied for everything that's one thing and i think that there's kind of a brother's believe a little exactly that too at home yeah but really bullying but they really can both yeah they can i mean i think it's part of growing up i think people you know it's you but then of course there's the work crossing the line and really hurts the kid and there's this if you're being lost. even if you're not being bullied for your orient perceived orientation sexually it gets better it has you know tons of celebrities people who have done really well with their life not just in the entertainment field but sports and political obama did one where they say hang in there it gets better it feels awful right now but it gets better as sunshine susie seventy one tweets you're always making is left would you like to play some dramatic roles you are great on criminal mind ok thank you yeah i played a match you google or some other who's institutionalized with schizophrenia.
9:22 pm
yes i i would love to do something that. you know cause me to dig a little deeper and a little to left to the right you were a character actors all ages really came famous for a television show right. similar james gandolfini right as we came character and he told me couple months ago that his time in a strange because she's still inside you retard are right now you are star and everybody knows in the past they would see i know i don't know a name but i know that exactly how they know yeah i was a change. that's true it's different than it used to be as a character actor i could walk down the street no one would know who i am or they'd say i need from somewhere. how does it change it i never expected to be famous like this i knew i wanted to be an actor and i knew i wanted to play fun parts but this is i never expected it and in a way it's really nice. but you know like i tell people at.
9:23 pm
annie and the people who work with me and annie i don't ever want to know who's in the audience even my own family when they come i say go through my system because i just want to do the work i just want to do the work i don't want to be thinking about who's out in the audience. you know is there a celebrity out there that's why i hated knowing patti lu pone me audience during the tonys i really just want to do my work. which leads into a less social media question just a limp on instagram where you want to be remembered for. making people laugh i think that will nothing like that nothing like it nothing like it cures all ills you know that moment that moment night when you're leading up to the law and yeah and you know it's funny and people who play into the game shows cause if you only knew this i don't know your case based on how you felt about boys who was the first person you kissed the first person i cast. some kid

9:29 pm
many i mean. i know that i'm seriously really messed up. and we're all very sort of silly apologize and. the worst you're going to go lie down to give it to the radio guy for the tail minestrone probably want what we're about to give you've never seen anything like this i'm told. us up guys i mean martin this is breaking this set it's now been thirty three days with bits of war edward snowden in complete legal limbo as he awaits his fate in the transit zone of the moscow airport and see despite being granted asylum by venezuela bolivia and nicaragua snowden cannot leave the u.s. government's cancellation of his passport so looking for any kind of refuge in the meantime snowden is applied for temporary asylum in russia which would allow him to
9:30 pm
remain in the country for one year is sound request prompted the white house officials to ask russia to extradite snowden the government officials have refused to return the whistleblower but this government wants snowden back so bad that they're willing to make a huge concession see i just found out a few hours ago on a breaking a.p. news alert that attorney general eric holder. will not seek the death penalty for snowden wow i guess that means we can all just sit back and relax now after all it was the death penalty that we are also concerned about right has nothing to do with the fact that snowden would be indefinitely detained charged with the espionage act and most likely spend his entire life in jail you see no assurances of assurance that the us government won't just try this whistleblower to two tiered sham we call the justice system so spare me from this overhyped compromise some have breaking news alert when there is some real news to break.
