Jane Lynch, who won an Emmy Award last
year for her portrayal of sharp-tongued coach Sue Sylvester on the
Fox musical-comedy Glee, has all but confirmed she's set to
host the 63rd Annual Emmy Awards.
When
asked by The
Wall Street Journal, “Is it true you will host the Emmys?”
Lynch responded, “I think so. [Big wink.] That's between you and
I and the readers of The Wall Street Journal! It goes no
further than that, okay?”
“I did the opening number of the
Emmys last year, and I was in awe how Jimmy Fallon conducted himself
throughout the show,” she added. “He had so much fun and I'm
going to use him as an example.”
The 50-year-old Lynch added that she'll
talk about coming out gay in her upcoming 304-page memoir Happy
Accidents, which lands on bookshelves on September 13.
“When I figured out I was gay …. [I
feared] rejection from my family,” she said. “That kept me from
my happiness, and also my critical nature of myself and everybody
else. … I wish I didn't have to suffer so much. I wish I wasn't so
hard on myself.”
