Jane Lynch gets ready to “Party Down”

Jane Lynch is one busy lesbian.

Earlier this week, StuntDouble told us about Lynch’s upcoming role as a cheerleader coach on Fox’s new series, Glee. (Take a moment to picture Lynch as a cheerleading coach. Ready? O-K!)

She’s also been working on several movies and practicing Joyce Wischnia’s signature wink/tongue click for the final season of The L Word.

Now she’s signed on for yet another comedy series, Party Down, on Starz. The new original series stars Paul Rudd as a caterer; Lynch is part of the catering team.

From the press release:

Each episode of this half-hour comedy finds the hapless catering team working on a new event — and inevitably getting tangled up with the colorful guests and their absurd lives.

Ensemble comedies like Party Down are a Lynch specialty; she is funniest when she plays off of other characters. Of course, the success of such shows depends on whether the ensemble works well together. The good news is that the series creator and producer is Rob Thomas, who created Veronica Mars. Thomas definitely has an eye for casting.

Lizzy Caplan also stars. I hope we see more Janis Ian and less Amy Burley from Caplan in this role.

Party Down airs in March.

I didn't like Jane Lynch for a while but now I have seen the error in my ways and really like her... and totally in love with Lizzy Caplan although liking her more girly look to the Janis Ian look

Could this Friday get any better... seriously.. the creator of Veronica Mars, cast from Veronica Mars, Jane Lynch and Lizzy Caplan. Yay!!!! Lizzy Caplan was the only reason i kept watching True Blood, now that she's gone, don't know if i will continue. I'm excited about a tv show for the first time in a long time... and again Yay!.

Wow!

I wanted to find out more about the show Glee and it's a musical comedy about a high school glee club. No start date yet, but I'll be watching out for that. I don't have starz, but if Party Down gets good reviews, I guess I'll be getting it. I love Jane and can't get enough of her.

I really didn't dig Jane Lynch orginally either. I'm not that big of a fan of her L Word character, Joyce.

But then I saw Role Models =D Can I say, hilarious?

Gayle Sweeny: Me and the judge have a special relationship... I don't wanna get too graphic but I sucked his dick for drugs.

Plus, it had Lizzy Caplan in it, and I love her. My fav character is Janis Ian, and I don't really care if her True Blood character was hotter. Janis is funny, and amazing =)

Jane Lynch was in an episode

Jane Lynch was in an episode of Veronica Mars, so she's worked with Rob Thomas before and she's been in 3 movies with Paul Rudd; The 40 Year Old Virgin, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, and Role Models.

Oh.My.God
