Kylie & Jane Lynch on Glee Reboot, New Donna Kelce Cat Plan & A Very Royal Invitation | Ep. 82
1h 29s
Kylie Kelsey’s podcast “Not Gonna Lie” blends humor, personal anecdotes, and pop culture to create an engaging, relatable experience. The episode features a special guest appearance by Jane Lynch, who shares her love for the Glee character Sue Sylvester and her humorous take on being a "hardass" host. The show explores various trending topics, such as the popularity of Fjordhockey, the importance of men’s grooming (especially neck shaving), and the normalization of public pumping. Listener questions about football, parenting, and household dynamics are answered with wit and honesty. A fan-favorite blind ranking of Glee fashion moments highlights Sue’s iconic tracksuit as the top choice. The episode also promotes NFL viewing via YouTube TV and highlights the challenges of parenting, including chaotic minivan life and family routines. Throughout, the tone remains lighthearted, with playful jabs at societal norms, pet ownership, and internet memes. The show celebrates shared experiences, from football fandom to parenting struggles, while emphasizing self-acceptance, comfort, and the joy of being authentically oneself.

Do you know Kylie Kelsey? What's his name He did which one is that? Philadelphia, she's amazing Like a like very very progressively thoughtful articulate I would do that with me with him if she talked more I would just see I would I think they have it together, no Oh It's too much about that but Like big thumbs up Are you fucking kidding me First of all Knowing about me and not my husband or my brother in law Wild take Thank you, but also I could tell you about them. They're great You love them they're good time um Also Can we just for can we just have a moment of pause For this beat are you fucking kidding me? I feel like I feel like I could stare into their face for like six days straight and just like Let it burn into my retinas get out of here but stay so I can stare you more. Do we yet you has a special guest? Are you good? Are you gonna? You give me a special guest you can check on on searuse On tiktok if you haven't already Some hilarious NFL tiktoks. Let's see him rage beating his boyfriend can only two teams play at a time Like on the field Said what you way to get a touchdown without like getting a touchdown Like in the end like making it to the end is there are seven points that you can get without doing that or no No, can you do it without crossing that line if you have any football questions. I might be able to answer them We could try although I feel like you are you know the answer to a lot of your questions Just a thought All right, that's it for real one video of the week next up The real one sent in so many questions last week that I'm gonna answer a few more bangers in a brand new edition of ask me some things Because some of you can't be trusted with an ask me anything ask me some things is brought to you by NFL Sunday ticket on YouTube TV Every game every Sunday all in one place First are we we're are we doing rapid fire? We were good at rapid fire last week Wow It was too fast too rapid of fire Queen Emma said last week was too rapid. I was too good at rapid fire So this week we're going medium fire she said apparently I did not provide enough context to any of my answers Although I did show my husband my answer about the dancing because
I still feel like I nailed that. His response? Travis is enthusiastic. Not the point first up from Jordan. What should I do if a guy I'm interested in says, "You're weird for liking football." I'm sorry, Queen Emma, but I fear this is the most rapid of fires. I think you should tell him to suck your ass. Yuck. Is he intimidated because you know more about football? Is he bothered by the fact that you've paid attention? Is he upset about the fact that he can't impress you because he can't make it look like he knows a bunch about football because you actually know either the same amount or more? I think maybe go find someone who's going to really enjoy the fact that you have a shared interest. On a similar note, we also got a question from a new football fan, Barbara, "Babs, what do you got? How do they decide where along the yard line to snap the ball? Help us, Swiftie. Learn football. Go birds." Deadass? Deadass. I have no fucking idea. I'm so sorry, Swiftie. I wanted to help you. Deadass, I have no idea. My assumption is that it goes on the yard hashes on the side of the field where the play finished. But I don't know into being quite honest. This has not impact me in any way, shape or form watching football. I'm being told that's correct. That was just my assumption. I just don't want to say it with my whole chest like I'm right or that I've read that rule. Look at us, babs. Barbara, we got there. And last, someone asked, "Are you a music on or off person in the car when you drive alone?" Now, I think there's a population of people who would say, "Music off in the car by yourself?" But there have been a number of times where I have gotten in the car, turned. There's nothing on and I get all the way to my destination and I realize that I was sitting in silence. Sometimes I do that. Sometimes my thoughts are so loud that I actually don't need any extra noise. Yeah. Now, if I had to choose between some of the requests that my children have and sitting in silence, I may also choose silence because you can only listen to the descendants for soundtrack so many times. And for the people who are like, "I put on food fighters and my kids cool. I'm happy for you." Cool. Occasionally, I can get away with Beyoncé or I don't know, Paramore or Keisha Cole. Occasionally, I can get away with it. Oh, Shania Twain. We got into a little Celine Dion last week, okay? But sometimes I just can't believe. Sometimes I've had enough, you know? Oh, let me tell you, Olivia Dean has been on repeat in our car. So that music on, Olivia, music on Olivia Dean. Oh my gosh. Is this for real? For real? Okay, apparently Spotify has an update now where kids music will no longer affect your rap or recommended playlist. Kiss my ass. You're kidding. That's amazing. Wow. Talk about adapting. Hell yeah. Oh, I'm so excited. That really, that brought the vibes up. Wow. Because like, don't get me wrong. I'm so into, like go noodle. Yeah. We Lama'd all the way to school today. Happy Lama's sad. Lama totally rad. Mama super Lama drama Lama. Big bad Mama Lama. Moose. Goose. Lama on the loose. This is my favorite part. President Obama Lama. Yes, we can. I, the fact that my, the fact that the whole mini van is jammed to that is ridiculous. And I love it. How about that for Rabbit Fire? All right, that's asked me some things brought to you by NFL Sunday ticket on YouTube TV. Let's keep it scrolling and rolling with doom scroll the week brought to you by door dash first up as a mom to enough creatures. This grandmother is really testing my aunt uncle, Grandparent Privilege policy, Queen Emma, the clip, please. This video says that's weird. My mom became a grandmother and forgot how to say no. I think that's a universal experience, honestly. For our audio listeners, the kid is walking into the house with a new aquarium with a little fish in it, like a little, a little, a little aquarium, a kid size aquarium. Grandma's standing next to the car, smiling and waving, interesting. Couple questions just to clarify. Does grandma live at the house now as full-time fish care? Because that's the only way this makes sense. I think mom has to be on board with any additional heartbeats added to the household. I feel very strongly about that. We have had a fish in our house. Its name was Passy. It kicked the bucket. To be clear, it lived for a while. RIP, Passy, pours them out from a dead homies. We're unsure why. Was it the fact that someone sunk some of some markers in the fish tank and died at blue? I don't know. If I could have saved Passy, I would. But also, don't bring heartbeats in the house about mom approving. That's that's ridiculous behavior. We don't do that. Because you know who's going to be responsible for those heartbeats? You guessed it. Mom, I don't think Nana or Dee Dee would do this. I think that I mean, if they wanted to get us a cat, ladies. Ladies. Don't get us anything with a heartbeat, Dee Dee and Nana. For my audio listeners, I'm winking. Donna or Lisa, if you're listening to this, feel free to get us a cat. Don't tell Jason. Donna's women have to stick together. I know he's your flesh and blood, but let's be real when it's pouring them in. Just kidding. Am I? Okay. Next up, Princess Kate just reminded everyone that she's still an absolute boss at Fjordhockey. Let's see this clip, Queen Emma. Who's she apologizing to? Did she hit someone? I would love that. Now, here's the deal. First of all, looks beautiful doing it. Love that. For everyone in the comments who are about to correct me, I'm aware that she's actually playing the Scottish sport of Shinti. I'm still calling it a win for Fjordhockey because where do you think she got that skill? Yeah, that's right. She's a Fjordhockey player. Also, this brings me to another point. I would just like to point out, I think ESPN did a sturdy as a sport. There's a clip that went viral a week and a half ago, maybe, where ESPN posted a highlight shot in a Fjordhockey game. It wasn't our best showing. I have to be honest, no disrespect to the athletes that are involved in this highlight clip. The person who took the shot did a great job. The goalie was trying to do whatever they could to try and get back into position to play and ended up falling on the ground for a second. Sometimes you do what you can. But it wasn't our best showing and we got ripped to shreds in the comments. I would just like to say, first of all, it's a bunch of. Are we going to say it? I think everyone already did. It's a three-letter word and it starts with M and ends with EN. Also, Fjordhockey is correct to me if I'm wrong, production team. Fjordhockey is the fourth most popular sport in the world. In the world, soccer, cricket, basketball. Fjordhockey, mother-fuckers. God damn. I think we might be able to find another highlight clip that would encourage men to sit the fuck down. And. stop leaving stupid comments. And also, Princess Kate, she showed you what's up. That's a transferable skill. Field Hockey, go into Shinty, we like it. I've never heard of Shinty, and now I'm intrigued. Are we going to Scotland? Should we go to Scotland and play that sport? Here's the thing about the sport of Field Hockey, we all have to stick together. So, Princess Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, if you ever wanted to come on and chit chat about some Field Hockey and maybe kids. I don't know. We got a couple things in common and our husbands chit chatted on the other podcast. But you could come on this one. I don't know, just a thought, it's a thought. We'd love to have you, no pressure. Please, okay. And lastly, as someone who's breastfed four tiny humans, I've had to pump in some unique locations. Let's see this. The text over this clip says, me wearing my discrete pumps in public. And, well, this woman was blessed. And so her discrete pumps have only made her bra, even more of a left, if you will, into the pumps are hanging out at the top. And you know what I say to this? Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Nothing enhances the conversation like a nice little blitz, blitz, blitz, blitz. Now, I was a lazy breast feeder. And by that I mean that I took them with me, not the pumps, the child, because they wanted it straight from the tap. But the wearable pumps are a game changer. Are we going to look like Madonna or the robots from Austin Powers, yes. But also, we're literally sustaining life in front of your eyes. So appreciate it, marvel at it. In other pumping news, shout out to the writer who brought a bedazzled breast pump to the Emmys. What a badass. These are the types of things, where we take away the stigma of trying to pretend like we're being like demure and secretive. And I don't know, cut that shit out. It's amazing that you are breastfeeding your child or even crazier, exclusively pumping. I bow down to you. I say that every single time I bring it up, I bow down to people who exclusively pump. That's insane. Just the idea of washing a pump makes me want to gouge my eyeballs out. You guys are amazing. No one should have and feel any type of way, similarly to breastfeeding in public. No one should feel any type of way about pumping in public. If you have wearable pumps, fucking go for it. And I will happily pretend like I can't hear your milk pouring into the cup. I'll do it. I'm here for, I'm committed to the bit. I hear nothing unless you want me to acknowledge it and then we can have a good giggle. Okay, I like this.

The real ones know that I've had the same makeup routine since the very beginning. That's not an exaggeration. I've been using the bare minerals original loose powder foundation since high school. Matt specifically. I was actually decent at makeup because I come from the YouTube era. There were some amazing YouTubers that were really guiding me through that. But my base for any look I did was always bare minerals. I didn't stray from that. I go at the product. I never have to second guess bare minerals. Take your vitamins, wear your minerals. Their original loose powder foundation is talc free foundation that provides all day coverage with a naturally luminous finish. My favorite part about wearing it is that it doesn't feel like I'm wearing anything. And also, it allows you to still see my freckles, which like I want my skin to look like skin. But it's the most lovely little blur. Look at her. Here she is. This is the one that's actually in my makeup bag right now. And now you can use code NGL for 20%. They're getting a discount.

I hate it when men don't shave the backs of their necks. I know that they don't see it, but we do. We do have to look at that. Right. So it's like if you're shaving, just clean it up. Back there, clean that stuff up. You know what the craziest part is when it runs into their back hair. Yeah. And it's like continuous. Your husband's pretty hairy. He is a pretty hairy guy, but there is a gap between his neck hair and his back hair. He's got a gap. Occasionally it does creep forward head hair to beard hair. Oh. Well, I guess technically neck hair. But that's only when we've gone too far between the hair and groom him. Good. God know. No, you don't. That is not my responsibility. That's actually-- I don't remember doing a movie. Judd Apto. I don't even know if you'll remember this, of course he won't. 'Cause I was fascinated. He's a hairy guy. Okay. And his wife, the wonderful actress, Leslie Mann. Yeah. First day of shooting, he's sitting there and she walked up behind him and in front of him and got his nose in plucked. She groomed her. That's love. That is true love. Occasionally I'll get my husband on an ear hair, but not really not for the purpose of making him appropriate for other people to look at. It just, it stares at me when I'm sitting next to him on the couch. And then I just-- Are you one of those pluckers? A thousand percent. I am. Did you get gross here? How about like Dr. Peppelpopper? Yes. A thousand percent. She was on Celebrity Week as a link to drop them in my show. Incredible. That would-- I walked to her. She is perfect, perfect, perfect. I don't know. I think so. She's-- My family is so like my sister and my two nieces were so into that. You send each other, like we go online and look at-- Yeah. What is it about that that makes it so satisfying? I'll tell you what-- Please tell me. It's the tension. And then they're like this. Literally. And-- Yeah. Mm-hmm. Slow mo. And-- OK, I won't go any further, because there's probably people gagging right now. But how it comes out is so satisfying. That's outstanding. And the fact that you met Dr. Peppelpopper herself. She's amazing. That's why you should watch the weakest link. Right. Never know who might be on there. You never know. It's going to be a big surprise. Gosh, that's good. Yeah. Thanks. Also, I watch men's haircuts online. Like, I watch, you know, I know, you're going to do a two there and a three on top. That kind of stuff. And so they come in looking like Neanderthal. Yes. And leave with a crisp fade. Crisp. Oh, fade. It's good enough. And I love a beard, but-- And not-- you know, I don't like them too. Yeah. I don't like them too short. If you're going to have a beard, have a frickin beard. Yes. Like your husband. Yes. Just have a beard. Mm-hmm. Keep it-- keep it groomed, man. Yeah. Keep it groomed. There is something very nice about, like-- Ooh, just clean lines. Isn't it? It's not scruffy or scraggly. It's like, yeah, it is, yeah, it says they care. - It does, you know?
It does they care about their, about their parents. - Mm-hmm. And considering how much women have to care, it's the least they can do. - The least they can do is keep your damn beard clean and your neck shaved. - And your neck shaved. Right, let's not, let's not grow the neck hair into the back hair. We don't, we don't want to see that. - We don't need a turtle neck of hair, guys. - No, we don't. - We don't. - Oh, God. - It's a game of thrones, guys. - It's 2026. - Shave your neck. - Shave your damn. - Okay, I'm gonna injure you. - I love that. - I love that you're a pimple popping. - Yeah. - It really does scratch an edge. - Okay. - It does. - She's the Emmy award-winning comedy legend you know from Glee, 40-year-old Virgin, Best in Show, Talladegan Knights, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, and a heavy hitter in the Kelsey household, Reck at Ralph. We also get to watch her continue her streak of playing The Hardass Everybody Loves as the host of Celebrity Weekest Link, Monday Night's On Fox. She's also a fellow dog lover and great aunt, and now she's officially not gonna lie. Jane Lynch, welcome to the show. - Oh, thank you so much, Kylie. It's so great to meet you and having so much fun so far. We just started. - This is like, this is a dream come true, honestly, because not only am I a massive fan of your work, huge. - But I'm also a massive fan of your height. - Oh, back at you. - Okay, now you're a fellow tall queen as we call 'em around here. - I love it. - I do have to ask, there were conflicting stories online. Are you six feet tall or are you five, 11 and a half? - Well, I'm six feet tall, but here I am. I'm claiming the full six feet. Let's put it that way. - Do it. - I measured myself recently, my wife and I measured each other and I was five, 10 and a half. - No. - It was the end of the day. Because you were compressed. Your gravity had worked all day on this. - Yes. - Absolutely. So in the morning, she's little and she was like, five, three and a half and she was like, no. No. - No, I do not claim this, right? - She does not claim it. So we measured ourselves in the morning. I was my full six feet. - Yes, you were. - Almost five. We'll give it to her. I'm gonna let her have it. - Come on, men lie about their heights all the time. - Yeah. - We'll call it a roster height, if we really need to. But beginning of the day is the time where you should be measuring yourself. - Exactly. You're compressed. That was a great, exactly highly. - Now, what's the best part about being a tall woman? - And this is interesting because I just did a show with someone who's taller than me. Most superior, man. - Love it. The best thing, then I didn't realize until I was in the confines with someone taller than me, is the ability to always look up, always have the bird's eye view. Now, Melissa's at least an inch taller than I am, and it felt weird, Kylie. Have you ever been with a woman who's taller than you? - I've been around a couple women that are either very close to my height or slightly taller. - It feels weird. It feels I felt unempowered. I felt kind of weak. - Okay. - Now I know how the rest of the world feels. I felt kind of, I don't know. I didn't feel my full self. - Yeah. - And then I got out of Melissa's environment, and I'm like, "Oh, I'm back, I'm back." And of course, she's the nicest person in the world and she carries it with something. I felt little, and I don't like it. - I feel very strongly that we have to, we have to roll our shoulders back, stand tall, and we have to own it, 'cause it really does. I know what you're saying when you stand here, someone who's taller than you. It sort of like shrinks you a little and not on purpose, just 'cause you're like, "Ooh, I'm in your shadow and that's weird." Usually, I am the one casting shadow. - Right, me too, that's why it was so weird. - Yes, but I'm so often around large men, I ask the parent question 'cause my dad is six foot nine. And so when I stand around people taller than me, I just, it almost feels like a warm hug. - Yeah. - Yeah, that's good. - And my husband's six, three, yeah. Yeah, so it feels nice, no, my mom is five, too, so I can stand next to someone itty-bitty, and it also does not feel odd to me. But I really, standing next to other tall people, sometimes I'm like, "Ooh, I feel itty-bitty." - Yeah. - It's different. - Six, nine for sure. - I know. - Now, I'm gonna ask a stereotypical tall question. - Yeah, absolutely. - Did you play any sports growing up? - Of course I did. I was recruited out of the hall in high school. I was the center of the basketball school. - Of course you were. - I was pretty athletic, but I wasn't a great basketball player. - So I tried, I struggled, I was on the varsity team as a sophomore, and I did all right. But I was a baseball player, a football player. Playing a hard ball with the boys. And I was very good if I do say so myself. And then I ended up playing softball in high school. - Now, are you a sports fan? - You know, I used to be. I'm from Chicago, and you kinda can't grow up and should I go and not be-- - A fan of the bears? - A pair of socks, the Dabbers, the Bulls. - So you don't have a feeling about the Philadelphia Eagles? - The Eagles? - The Eagles. - The Philadelphia Eagles? - I don't, I don't. - I don't have a feel about the Eagles. - Okay, how do you feel about Philadelphia in general? Have you been? - I love Philadelphia. - Yes, you have. - We perform in Philadelphia a lot, you know. - Okay, okay. - Her dad has a bar in Germantown, are you familiar with Germantown? - I'm very familiar with Germantown. - It's called Flannery's Tavern. I would like to go to Flannery's Tavern. - You need to check it out. - People say about Chicago anyway. It's like a small town and a big town. 'Cause it's midwestern. So we all keep our feelings, you know. Kids, everybody's, "Hi, how are you?" - Yeah, maybe we don't mean it, but it's a nice place to visit. - See, that's where you come to Philean. Someone says, "Oh, how are you?" "Uh, kind of ass." Thanks for asking. - Yes. - Kind of ass. You know? - Yeah. Well, speaking of sports, the role I'm guessing people ask you about the most. And please correct me if I'm wrong on this. Is the cheerleading coach? - Of course. - Sue Sylvester. - Is that safe to say? - Yes, safe to say. Very safe, say 100%. - How often are you asked to channel Sue and insult someone you just met? - That's so funny people ask me that all the time. - I don't want to let the people down, Kylie. So I have a couple in my back pocket. - Sure. - Like I'll say, I'm no longer carrying photo ID because people should know who I am. Or if they want me to insult them. - Yes. - That happens a lot. I'll say, loving musical theater doesn't make you gay. It just makes you awful. So that's a good one. I'll pull out. - And they love it, I'm sure. - I love it. I love to be insulted. - No, do you have a favorite Sue Sylvester singer? Like a quote from the show, "Direct." What's your favorite? Let me think if I can remember how I say it, okay. - I wonder if it's one of the ones we have here. - Oh, okay. And she sells her house and she says, so I salted the backyard. So nothing would grow there for a hundred years. Why? They wanted me to pay their closing costs. - So dramatic. I love it. I love it so much. - Thank you. - Now, how do you keep a straight face delivering lines like that? - I guess I get so into it. - I don't think I've ever cracked up with myself. - Never? - No, because you know, playing her, you have to be stupid. - You have to feel it. - You're just about it. - Right. Yeah, I've made other people laugh where they can barely get through it. - I can only imagine. - Of course, and I'm looking at you sometimes we, sometimes I would laugh because he laughs so hard. Right, 'cause we had so much fun. - So you're only laughing at him. - Yeah, I'm laughing at him laughing at me. And I have to give all praise and credit to our writers. Just Ian Brennan, especially. Good Chicago boy. So we kind of had no, you found each other. - We found each other. And he's one of those really nice guys too. But he's dark. Deep down inside, just like I am too. I'm like, nice midwestern girl, but if I could be dark. - Drop it down, go to the desk. - Drop it down. - I like that. - No, the Fox TikTok account just shared a clip of you in character as Sue from last season of the weakest link. - No. - It says, "Glee reboot when." - Oh, I haven't heard anything about that, but I would love to do it. I'd be the first one in line to do it. I will be seated as the kids say. I will be sat. - I will be sat. - I will be sat. Now, one way Glee gets to live on is through one of the most popular memes on the internet. I'm sure you know it. It's Sue. - Oh yes. - There. - I am going to create an environment. So toxic. Oh my God. - And then that badger-owned thing. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've seen it. And people have been putting things in there, just switching it up. Now, have you ever personally used this? - I don't think I have. - Makes sense. - Did you? - You loved it. - I don't know. - You lived it. - No, no, you lived it, right? - You walked proof. - But people send me those. - Do they? - And they're so cool. Everybody's so damn clever. - The internet is very funny. The corners of the internet, they make.

There's no worse feeling than missing out on Sunday NFL. The group chat is exploding over a play you didn't see or worse of all your local broadcaster is not carrying your hometown team's game. You didn't just miss a play. You missed Sunday and you can't miss the birds. Come on now for millions of fans that feeling has a name Sunday NFL FOMO, the fear of missing the play, the moment, the madness. It's so important to make sure that you can watch every second of the games that you want to see need to see. It's so important for me to be able to see the Eagles and also the chiefs. We have to see chiefs games in our house and NFL Sunday ticket and YouTube TV have my back every game every Sunday all in one place. And with multi view, you can watch up to four games at once. So you never have to pick just one. With NFL Sunday ticket and YouTube TV, you get every game every Sunday all in one place. This season is here with NFL Sunday ticket for out of market games and YouTube TV for local and national games. YouTube TV required terms restrictions and embargoes apply, excludes digital only games, commercial use excluded, no refunds. Now something else from Glee that lives on is the Sue Sylvester track suit, which brings me to a game we like to play here called blind ranking. And this time we're going to blind rank your most iconic on-screen fashion brought to you today by all state. Okay, this game is basically the blind ranking side of it, the blind side of it is that you don't know what's coming next. So you just have to rank them one through five. One so spot is taken, it's done. It's done. Yep. Okay. Very clever. Let's see tricky. Now first up, we've got 40-year-old virgin Paula, the manager at Smart Tech, thoughts on Paula's look. Thoughts on Paula's look. I think it looks great and everything. Yeah, I hated it. I thought I looked fat, Kylie. Look how skinny I am. How dare you. Isn't that crazy? I thought it made me look fat and I didn't like the white pants. Just weird. Look how young and beautiful I am. Look how young and beautiful Steve Carellas. So I didn't like it at the time. Yeah, crazy. I mean, I've given a million dollars to look like that right now. Yeah, this is this you explaining that reminds me of my child looking at a picture two weeks ago. And I said, who's that? And they said, dad, dad. And they said Lala. Lala is our nanny who's in her early 20s. And I was like, no, no, that's mom when she slept. That's mom when she slept. Interested for you. Yes. Exactly. You're looking pretty good, Kylie. Thank you. It's the, it's the whatever the concealer. That's what it is. I saw you putting it on. Now, where do you rank? Paula's look. One to five. One to five. One being the best. Perfect. Because you're scarred from it. Yes. I'll look like I'm looking at dad going, you're so damn cute. You do look great. Okay. I don't know that there's a single look in here. You don't look great. Next one. One of my favorites. We got this look from Best in Show. Oh, I love that. It's a good, it's a, it's a classic. Now I go to, too. I'm going to say to high up there. What's the best part about working with Jennifer Coolidge? You never know what she's going to do or say. But it's never scary because she's a great improviser. So she's always with you. Right. She's always right there. But she comes up with the weirdest. I don't remember one thing. Not this movie. But in a mighty win, she was talking, you know, and I was watching her shoot this. So she, she didn't come up with this. Is it something like, what does it like to produce? She's a producer. What's it like to produce a show? It's a lot of stuff I wasn't expecting. Like I'm responsible for things like snacks. I mean, it's always the weird. It's always just weird. And it keeps you on your toes. Oh, yeah. It has to keep it exciting, too. It does. Okay. So you're really kind of fell in love doing that. We became very close. So you're ranked in Best in Show 2. Great. All right. Number 3. Another one of my favorite shows. Next look we have Sophie from Queens. From Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Now you want an Emmy for this role. Does that boost it in the rankings? Yes and no. Okay. You know, I only wore it one episode. I never went back to it. But it informed the whole characterization. I wish I could give it to. I'm going to give it three. Now we have another look. This is possibly cheating. I don't care because she's an animated icon. Sergeant Calhoun. Come on, damn bad ass. Look at her. It's also fascinating that she, like the resemblance they got is outstanding. They they videoed us. I wish I looked at it. But they videoed us while we did our words. And so they based it like I'll watch this and I'll see her do something. Like the way she turns her head or starts a sentence. Oh my god, that looks like me. Yeah, they're so good. They're magicians. Well, I got four kids in that house. Four? Four girl, all girls. Boy, you did just buy a lot of it. They run the world. Yes. Four girls. Four girls run the world. Two for me. Thank you. You're welcome. We got a six, a five, a three, and a one year old lady. Consistently. Consistently. The only movie that they agree upon on the drive to the shore because that's the only time the minivan TV works. I don't know if you know that. It only works on long drives. Oh, always that right. Oh, it's so interesting. Yes, I know. And uh, is Racket Ralph or Ralph breaks the internet? Either one, yeah, either one outstanding movies. They are. They are so thrilled that I got to do it. You know, I remember it was back in like 2007. There was whispers of this. And they got us all in a Southwest flight to Pixar. So it was Sarah Silverman, me, Jack and a couple of other people who ended up being in it. They hadn't cast Ralph yet, which was on John C. Run. And we did a read through at Pixar. And they gave us like sweatshirts that said Pixar and we're all like, well, they flew us out Southwest. Give us a free shirt. And it gave us a free shirt. This might not happen. I'm so happy it did. Selfishly, you love when your kids pick movies that you can also enjoy. Absolutely. And they're their movies that I can truly both my husband and I are like, okay, we can get down with that. Good. It's good. The girls, the girls have said multiple times that Ralph is dad. I don't know if it's that he's living in the dump or what it is. Yeah. I can see that. Yeah. He's he's big. I know exactly. He's big. Big any burly. Exactly. Nice. Yes. He's a good guy. They love him. And on top of that, when Sergeant Calhoun is deep just, I mean, put in the put in the moves. The love moves. The love moves. Our second Ellie loves a love story. She loves that love story. She thinks it's amazing. Yes. It's a beautiful love story. Sergeant Calhoun and Felix, they just they love each other. They do. They're so different. But they so respect each other. They do. And he loves a strong woman.
And we love that about him. - Yeah, she likes a nice weak man that can take directions. - That can take direction and say, "You fix that." - Yes. - So good, it's Felix. - Where do you rank her? - Oh, let's see. - You have two and three, and five and eight. - You have one and four available. - One and four available. Four. - Okay. - Oof. - That's a risky business. It's risky business to leave number one to the last one. - And leave number one. - Let's see what we got for number one. Lastly, I'm guessing Queen Emma might have won with the classic. Yeah, yeah, yeah. - Thank you, Queen Emma. - Of course she did. That is the classic Sioux Sylvester tracksuit. - Yeah, it is. The red and the white. - Gosh. - I am glad that's number one. I'm glad I held out. - That was the right move. It's not always the right move, but you nailed it. - Yeah. - How awesome was it going to work every day in a tracksuit? - It's like, you take off your pajamas and put them back on. - That's perfect. - This is part of the reason why I wanted to be a PE teacher. - Yeah. - Exactly. - Come on. It's so good. - It's the best. - What do you miss the most about Glee? - Oh, man. - The tracksuits. - Yeah, the tracksuits, man. I miss, sometimes, I will almost have the same lines episode to episode, but the in my office now, that kind of a thing. And I love those moments where I got to walk into the choir room where a lot has been going on. They're singing, they're dancing, blah, blah, blah. And the door opens and everybody goes. And I get to say, you, in my office, now. - Now. - And then I turn on my damn heel, Kylie. - So good. - And everybody's scared. Gosh. - Oh, they're scared. - I love that you just, you put your midwestern or side. - Oh, yes, she goes away. - And you like it. - I dissociate. - I dissociate. - Now, we do have a bonus. We have a bonus, look. - Let's see it. - Because this is, this was also iconic. Party down. - Is this not going to be a lot of fat? - I'm not counted. - Ridiculous. - Does this not get anything out of the top five? Or can we leave it at six? - Let's leave it at six. Okay. - That is Ken Marino. - Mm-hmm. - No one makes me laugh. Talk about cracking up. I'm pretty good. I don't crack up. Nothing is that funny to break me up. Him. - Him? - He's the culprit. - He's the culprit. - Okay. - So if you go to the New Welfare, go through any episode where I was seeing with him in the first season, but in the new season we did about three years ago. There is a scene where he gets food poisoning. And he's sweating. And he's trying not to throw up. And he's trying not to you know what? From the other end. He's, and he's the most courageous actor in the world. He's almost pure white pale. He's full of sweat. And then he's got a shaking. And you'll see me, I'm like this the whole time. I'm covering my mouth. Pretending to be shocked, but it's Jane Lynch trying not to lose her shit. I'm like, but my eyes I'm dying. - Yeah. - This guy is, he's the funniest man I've ever met. I adore working with him. - I love that so much. I feel like it has to be as someone who doesn't break to find someone who makes you break like that. It has to be like the most lovely discovery. - Yeah, and he's the nicest man. - I mean, you can kind of tell. - Yeah, yeah, such a goof. - That does it for today's blind ranking. Brought to you by all state. Now, fast forwarding to right now. You are back on our TVs every Monday night at 9 p.m. on Fox hosting celebrity weakest link. And it's fantastic. Real ones, you can also stream the next day on Hulu. - Sure. - I feel like there's truly no better person for this role. It's a perfect fit. And it's fun to be. Is it fun to be known as the hard ass? I feel like it has to be. - Yeah, I love it. I love it. And you know, everybody knows the drill. So nobody's insulted. Even when we're doing it with civilians, you know, the celebrities and I what they're getting into. Nobody's like, they sign up for it. - Yeah, you sign up for this stuff. - You know what I do. - Yes. - Everybody's fine. - That's a lot of fun. - How satisfying is it every time you hit the, you are the weakest link. Goodbye. - Oh, the best. It's the best. You know, but the Midwestern part of me, you know, when we're not shooting, like when we're in between setups, we're small talking. And I do feel like I'm hosting a party. You know, so I want everybody to get something to drink. You feel good, you want to go to the bathroom? You're everybody okay? And then I have to go and dismiss somebody. Sometimes I feel a little bad. I do it. But sometimes inside I'm like, and as they, 'cause it's humiliating. Right, you know, they have to walk away from their podium. And sometimes they're wearing, like the girls wearing heels and they're hobbling. And I'm like, well, God, don't fall. They have to step down. And the floor is black and shiny. And it's always moving. It's disorienting. So I worry, Kylie, I worry. I'm a cancer. I worry. I want everybody to stay safe. So they will have to walk down this thing. And then they have to walk into the jaws of hell. It's like a bright red tongue. And they have to, and then they sometimes have to do it three times. And I feel terrible. I get over it. Right after you just, you just yapped it up. You just had small talk and it was lovely. I'm like, I'm gonna go to the bathroom. I got in my breakfast bar and then you just kick him out. And I kick him out. I kick him out so bad, so hard, so hard. Now, yeah. Knowing me for nearly 40 minutes now. I know, I feel like I'm known you forever, though. How do you think I'd do on the weakest link? I think it'd be great. Are you just saying that? Even if you didn't get all the questions. Is this a small talk? Jane, tell me the truth. This is the small talk. Yes, fantastic. No, you would be entertaining. You would be self-deprecating. For sure. If you're not, if you're not, you have everyone somewhere, we get someone a little too serious for their own good. Especially the reality stars. Yeah. Now, shifting gears a little bit, we sometimes do a segment on this show called "Rage Bate of the Week." Love it. Where my producer, Queen Emma, puts something in front of me that she knows is gonna set me off. Now, we talked about the men's hair on their necks. Before we get started. Yeah. What else sets you off? Is there anything you have the floor? What else sets me off? How do you feel about men wearing flip flops? Is that bothering you? I hate it, hate it, hate it. Do you? Yeah. I don't wanna see your feet. I don't wanna see women's perfectly pedicured feet. You don't like feet. You don't like feet. I don't like them. Thank you so much for saying that. Yeah. Especially men's, though. You would think. So I agree with you wholeheartedly. I do not like feet. I actually don't wanna see them put those dogs in the get them caged, okay? Yeah. Caged those dogs. But my husband, it actually doesn't pays me at all. That man wears flip flops. Almost until wintertime. And then immediately starts wearing them again, basically when the snow melts. They come out again when the snow melts. They do. I can't explain it. It's like I have a blind spot. You're okay with this. Does that have nice feet? No. He's got little black hairs growing out of him. A thousand percent he does have toe hairs. And he also would net, like he's never gotten a pedicure. Wouldn't even if you, I mean, you could offer him everything under the sun, not a pedicure guy. So they're really, they're left to their own devices. And then they're, and then they're just let loose in a flip flop. Yeah. Let loose. So there's that. Yeah, it's my blind, it seems to be my blind spot, though. Yeah. Because you love him. I do. Now any other guys wearing flip flops? Cut it out. Put them away. Stop it. Put them away. Put them away. A nice speaker. Put them away. Yeah. Yeah. I agree. I wear Birkenstocks occasionally. It's you love it. And that's you. Yeah. I let the dogs out occasionally. Okay. I was born with a turned foot. So I have a funky, big toe. That's a little shorter and a little. On the other side? On the other side? On the other side? Yeah. So I just one side. Just one of them. Yeah. I'm not. I'm not proud of it. But every once in a while. I'll let the dogs out. Usually. I mean, I usually I don't go to a restaurant with my dogs out, but around the house maybe. I rarely wear them. I don't find them that comfortable. Anyway, I'm kind of a slip my feet into the slip versus soon. I can't go barefoot anymore. I need. I need something. Something under your feet. Um, Gene, I cannot thank you enough for coming on today. I just enjoy. Thank you. It is such a pleasure to meet you, such a pleasure to get to tell you how much I love your work. And uh, make sure to watch celebrity weakest link Monday nights on Fox or stream the next day on Hulu. Right. Thank you so much for coming on. Kylie. Thank you. This has been a joy.
