Tor Myhren, President and Chief Creative Officer of Grey New York, is the creative mind responsible for […]

By Lori Acken Speaking with journalists via conference call Thursday afternoon, Glee star Jane Lynch says that her character, cheerless cheer coach Sue Sylvester, will come through this Sunday’s post-Super Bowl episode with a bang … and possibly a whimper. Or a Sue Sylvester version of a whimper, anyway. Which pretty much means that rooms shall be demolished. Lynch called the upcoming “The Sue Sylvester Shuffle” episode — in which Mr. Schuester and Coach Beiste scheme to unite the glee club and and the football team, while Sue’s desperation to win cheerleading Nationals reaches dangerous levels — “a Glee episode on […]

“Undercover Boss” star pleased with portrayal … pretty much

February 8, 2010 Channel Guide Staff Comments Off

Last night’s post-Super Bowl airing of Undercover Boss pulled in over 38 million viewers, the best for that time slot since 2001. Incidentally (or not) it was another reality offering — the premiere of the second season of Survivor — that was the last to pull in those kinds of ratings.
