led. the big. on larry king now jane lynch the whole areas that burst on the moment xenu i remember thinking myself that the people in this room knew the truth but not these people would like me what does the future hold for sue sylvester. she's a bitch she's not going to be possible threat plus one of the things that nora ephron had was such a point of view that a lot of women like you and i think lena dunham's the same machine is kind of. says it like it is for sale maybe not just her generation but all of us all next on larry king now. welcome to larry king now in new york with one of my favorite people jane lynch and
11:01 pm
jamie jamie lynch you know or sue sylvester of course on the fox hit series glee she recently made her broadway debut and one of the great roles ever for the stage in any 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 shows 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 i started on stage and i that was my first love being drawn to the stage and get it 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 of come about well that james the pine and the crew called my agent said you know katie finneran who did the role had again got 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
11:02 pm
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 yeah absolutely my friend out but you know toes me it's so tombstone but be a beer when the curtain opens it's just you know we can hope it. is a director's medium right right goes into right then television to nice 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 it or you're a 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 and 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 nobody's doing it for you but you and i love that always about performing on the tonys really i was really nervous i don't think i've been that nervous in
11:03 pm
a lot of time well bernadette peters was right here patti lu pone what's the fair. he was right there and i set up the set on the radio city music hall so it was amazing in the sound there is as they do that 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 like jim hamilton do 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 takes i she takes out her frustrations on the kids you know to send was so so let's 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
11:04 pm
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 isn't it dave two terrific songs and if done correctly are showstoppers indeed but as w.c. fields once said right never work with children or animals got a dog on stage to both both of them were going against me well you know what i think that it separates the wheat from the chaff as best 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 victimized then i think when the sun will come up tomorrow can't always does your nora ephron is right love lost and what i wore i knew nora very well you know when i started to know her well or the lady me out really got to play a little as well as yeah road with lucky guy tom hanks is there nor is. those lima 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
11:05 pm
a lot of women like yes i agree yeah yet you kind of burst through the walls and said you know being a woman is this but then nora was so a powered herself that you know women just really aspired to be her and i think linda dunham's the same when she she's vulnerable like like nora would be she also had great moan 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 on them hopefully 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 it'll be five if i lucky enough to get another season so it can happen to her in the us that this will yeah. sue sylvester was fired for bringing a loaded gun to school and actually she didn't tell him she was covering for her
11:06 pm
lieutenant with down syndrome and so she was fired and she got a new job at the twenty three hour fitness as a robot and 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 will now that says you know what i've done for stations i have i have no reason why it is that way because we don't know where our next jobs coming from maybe we like to torture ourselves to something you can respond told me once the worst feeling in the world is between script. you never think the curtains coming up again is a good oh yeah one a month you've got you've 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 a little better for me that now than they were ten years ago in terms of getting stuff steady employment but i think it's kind of a we got our kind of bread and i think this is
11:07 pm
a good thing to take nothing for granted to be grateful for every job i understand or some families in newton connecticut upset with the way we handled the gun shooting how do you feel oh i do you know i don't want to add to any body'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 glee lights racially topic so our lights may be the bad word but he's not 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 you get here she's
11:08 pm
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 wears a uniform she's militaristic you know she's what she's really defending zero tender heart that's how i see you do think it showed be it but 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 woodwork saying hi michelle i love the show now do you sing in on the stage are they going to have to sing more assume you can 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
11:09 pm
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 grima 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 nowadays the audience is winnowed 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 that of course it's the shiny new thing it's odd 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 where maybe this would ever happen or yeah i think
11:10 pm
it's quite progressive and you know ryan takes that seriously that's the puts these real issues into you know the lives in 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 is fifty percent fifty six percent of the thing is that it was back to a vote telephone you would pay which has a yeah i think that not only is it fifty six percent now i think it's like jumped ten points in like just four years ago is that so it's happening like yeah it was sort of being like this yeah yeah well i'll go back to. what's hollywood game not a hollywood game but 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 we play these are very low reference level games you don't need to know tolstoy or things like that it's all 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
11:11 pm
a great guy on the show he is executive producer he created this baby and 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. yeah we got like amy sedaris amy sedaris i wish we had amy sayres. amy poehler and jason sudeikis we had tom arnold we had good arby's already we met perry yeah we had tons and tons of fun libby 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 through new orleans sort of it's like party goers it's taken takes place actually in the house we shot it in home so we have these about eight or the robot twenty people 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're the i'm the host yes so i love game night
11:12 pm
i'm a big fan of game one very competitive and you want me on your team you don't want to play against me but i hope you eat or you just i don't compose it compete i just make sure everybody you know stays within the frame hayes used kind of a brilliant idea yeah he has come up with his idea based on his own his own games i've which i've been to them back with jane lynch and bill is. going to. be a. very hard to take. once again there is a lot that has sac with governor rick perry willing. to. meet with.
11:13 pm
the political. plus there was a new alert animation scripts scare me a little bit. there is breaking news tonight and we are continuing to follow the breaking news. alexander's family cry tears of joy at a great thing that there have been. at a court of law on the ground. there's a story made for a movie is playing out in real life.
11:14 pm
the gay thing start to change oh wow i think it 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 ellen 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 to own an ellen and no one go l.a. long low there was a kiss on l.a. all isn't kiss and l a law that rosie o. on 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 we're not yeah that happened but you know i think that it i think it really started this this
11:15 pm
momentum i would say when ellen came out and then when will and 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 but what didn't happen was a towplane going to come out but i never really came out i mean the people kind of blazed the trail for me. melissa as you know as the baby i never was i never called the press conference i just never had i was in at 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 to your ever understood prejudice against it i knew when i was heterosexual i didn't choose it's right those i didn't choose it you didn't choose the course to how did you know when you work 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
11:16 pm
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 own run in a movie i 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 there's that i know that we have preferences what was it like to get married oh bob the wonderful wonderful it was you know i never thought i would you know i never thought i would get life change that day for me you know you haven't changed and you know i'm divorced now i'm going you know what 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 had her when you met and she had her when we met yes so she had had
11:17 pm
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 and they proceed to grow yes yes yeah is it how hard is it well it was hard any take it is it is you just to be have to remain adults which we have you know where we re keep the every. that was specially hayden'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 girlhood crush on my friend julie and i did oh huge yeah yeah from the sound of music just loved her i wanted to be of entre fits so did you hi dear said oh yes oh yes until it is that like lives all laws well did you know that yet 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 would think yeah did you ever have to date because it would be the
11:18 pm
smart thing to do for the career no one knows who walked the red carpet no not at all and also i'm a 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 because of it i don't think so i don't think i ever lost a job because i was gay he will stand a mr obama in that subject yeah yeah yeah i think he's done great to the wallow he did when you cared to get him to yeah yeah yeah maybe i've who knows 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. now 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 we're losing privacy in america. yeah and an example of it is the
11:19 pm
divorce everybody has to know about of 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 ex runs ninety seven s what do you think is the mean is 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. 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 i maybe i'll come in as. and it was something maybe i can as a transgendered someone who's transitioning to
11:20 pm
a larger audience i love them yeah i think he's an angel just terrible yeah he's the guy who sunday on instagram is 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 dan savage is 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 just sitting on yeah yeah that from what i understand it's especially if you're bullied for being gay you know they turn a blizzard the biggest thing 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 their little exactly to it oh yeah i don't really bullying but they really can but 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 worry crosses the line and really hurts the kid and there's this if you're being gay. even if you're not being
11:21 pm
bullied for your own 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 us laugh would you like to play some dramatic roles you are great on criminal mind thank you yeah i played a match you google or some other who's institutionalized with schizophrenia. yes i i would love to do something that. you know causes me to dig a little deeper and a little to left to the right you were a character actors all ages ready came famous for television shows right. similar james gandolfini right as we came character actor and he told me couple

11:23 pm
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 lie yeah and you know it's funny if you played into the game shows color 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 up in a tree a boy up an intruder in the triana awarded probably twelve numbers with a mocking cigarettes to you remember his name no i don't remember his name but you didn't enjoy it you know if i'm going to cigarette if they were terrio the song. there's a kind of hush oh all over. sin and. the

with mike stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines tune in to kaiser report on our. i know c.n.n. m s n b c news have taken some slightly but the fact is i admire their commitment to cover all sides of the story just in case one of them happens to be accurate. that was funny but it's close and for the truth and might think. it's because when full attention and the mainstream media works side by side the joke is actually on we're going to be ok. and our teen years we have a different press. because the news of the world just is not this funny i'm not laughing dammit i'm not how. i feel about.
11:29 pm
you guys stick to the jokes well handled stuff that i'm. big bucks but. we're going to do is do the job the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and. that's because a free and open press is critical to our democracy trek all those years. ago. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and i was proud to mco we've been hijacked by handful of transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our polity harbors once built up i'm talking mark it on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world if we go beyond identifying the problem try rational debate in a real discussion critical issues facing right now but are you ready to join the movement and welcome the.
