Wreck-It Ralph is out today — yay! Reviews are great: The AV Club’s is here, the New York Times here.  And the Huffington Post has a piece on the process of recording the voice.

How’s this for awesome: Ellen DeGeneres receives this year’s Mark Twain prize, and Jane Lynch, et al, were on hand to pay their respects.  It airs on PBS on October 30, and you can catch a bunch of pretty great clips here.

And there’s lots of Wreck-It Ralph goodness:

Top hats on.  Season 4 is upon us.

Some fun things for all y’all this nice post-Labor Day weekend.  First, a short clip from the season 4 opener of Glee.  That’s this Thursday, folks.

Click here to view the embedded video.

And a fun Canadian ad for Wreck-It Ralph, which we like because we like the words “Boxing Day,” plus an interview with director Rich Moore about casting here (“Jane Lynch’s character at first was going to be a man and we thought that is kinda boring.  What if we made it Jane Lynch?”   Exactly.)

Oh, and in case you’re wondering — of course you are — Lizzy Kaplan says the Party Down movie is still a go even though it’s actually not going.  Which doesn’t make us worry too much.  Why?  Two words, folks: Arrested. Development.

Hurrah (Almost)! http://www.hernameisjanelynch.com/2012/08/16/roseanne-glee-end-of-the-heat-wave-almost-hurrah-almost/ http://www.hernameisjanelynch.com/2012/08/16/roseanne-glee-end-of-the-heat-wave-almost-hurrah-almost/#comments Thu, 16 Aug 2012 23:17:49 +0000 tien. http://www.hernameisjanelynch.com/?p=2995 So, the roast of Roseanne went well — well, as well as roasts can go, especially if it includes Tom Arnold actually saying nice things to his ex-wife. Some jokes were predictable (how many ways can we make fun of Roseanne for being “fat” or Ellen Barkin for looking “old”? Which reminds us, hey, we would like to see a roast of a woman by a group of comediennes. Just for the hell of it. Just to see what that would look like. You know. For fun. Maybe.), others are pretty funny; you can see assorted clips and maybe piece together the show in your head on the Comedy Central’s website here. We’d embed one of the clips here, but we like this one from an old Roseanne episode better:

In non-Roseanne news, the trailer for Season 4 of Glee is out, et voila:

11.  Paula in 40-Year-Old Virgin

Click here to view the embedded video.

We have a long overdue Jane Lynch Project post to do on 40 Year Old Virgin, but surely you must know it by now: Jane Lynch attempts to seduce Steve Carrell.  Exactly.

12.  Maxine Bennett in Desperate Housewives

Click here to view the embedded video.

The clip pretty much speaks for itself, but this is the episode that got us to watch a few episodes of Desperate Housewives, hoping she’d come back on parole (she didn’t).

13.  Cindi Lightballoon in Arrested Development

As an undercover FBI agent who falls for George, Sr. after watching — and totally misinterpreting — his self-help videos.  If you haven’t watched Arrested Development by now, how have you not watched this show by now?  Go watch this show, now.

14.  Dr. Kathy Wahlund in The Fugitive

Somewhere, in a parallel universe, Jane Lynch is winning awards in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series category.

15.  Jane Lynch as Rachel Maddow

Click here to view the embedded video.

Jane stopped by Rachel Maddow’s show a while back, and while she was there, she decided to take Rachel’s seat for a bit.  Why not, right?
