Yes I do.
Uh, can you tell me Glee has become such a phenomenon.
Did you have any idea?
I had no idea.
I knew it was gonna have some amount of success, but you know, becoming a phenomenon like it is, you know, I had I had no clue.
No idea.
So I saw you over here looking at Perfect Skin.
You have very nice skin.
Oh, well, thank you.
You look very handsome.
Oh, well, thank you.
Hey, you wanted to see me?
William, there's someone I'd like to introduce you to.
He's the newest member of our school board, and he'd like to speak to you.
Will Schuster, meet Mr. Bryan Ryan.
We've met.
You get to have some scenes with Jane Lynch, who I think is hilarious.
What's it like working with her?
It's wonderful.
I go on the set, you know, meet Jane and play, basically play and get paid.
What a deal.
Yeah, it sounds like the best job ever.
It is.
It's it's the best job I've ever had.
I know Josh Sussman would love to do some scenes with you.
Do you think that'll ever happen in the future?
Well, you need to get into trouble.
Do something like crazy, you know.
Uh, get in trouble and I I I'll have you over.
So, if if Jacob gets in trouble, how would Principal Figgins deal with that?
Just you know, make him sit in my chair and say, Don't do it.
Okay, that sounds kinda scary.
I don't I don't know if I wanna get into trouble.
Can you tell me what's happening with Principal Figgins in season two?
Uh, well, he's basically doing what he has been doing, you know, trying to keep everything under control and keeping the balance between, you know, forces of good and evil.
Would you consider Sue Sylvester evil?
Depends on the situation.
You know, if it's good for the school then she's good.
If uh, if not, then evil.
Is there anything you can tell me about the upcoming Britney Spears episode?
Yes, she was on the set and I missed it because I was not working and I was busy that day.
So I I unfortunately I did not get a chance to meet her, but she tweeted me and said, I'm following you on Twitter.
Follow me, please.
So Britney Spears is following me.
That's really I'm so honored.
That's really cool.
Britney, follow me as well.
Josh Sussman.
Oh, I have one more question.
Could you tell me about any weird fan experiences or anything crazy that's happened between you and a fan?
No, it's usually nice, you know.
My wife kind of, you know, gets annoyed sometimes, you know, because when sometimes we're having dinner, you know, somebody would come and, you know, want to take a picture.
But and I'm okay with it.
You know, it makes people happy, but my wife, you know, she's a bit annoyed at this point, yeah.
It happens.
They love him.
It's because they love him.
They're not trying to take him away from you.
