Jane Lynch: Even Funnier Paired with Andy Samberg

By Christine Fenno Posted Oct 10th 2010 09:12AM

Jane Lynch hosted 'Saturday Night Live' this week, and in last night's episode, the 'Glee' star hit a series of high notes in sketches with Andy Samberg.

The 50-year-old host kicked off with a strong monologue (let's nevermind that bizarre off-one-shoulder coat), during which she and Fred Armisen sang with gusto about Sue Sylvester -- an admittedly "terrible!" ditty she nevertheless hoped would become the theme song for 'Glee.'

The TV star has a background doing live improv with Second City, and her confidence was evident. But it was during three 'SNL' bits co-starring Andy Samberg -- in which she played a mom who discovers Facebook, an inappropriate therapist, and a hausfrau with a hankering for one-night stands -- that she shone brightest.

Check out the new 'Damn it, My Mom is on Facebook' Filter (which unfortunately does not actually exist) here. And after the jump, more clips featuring the newly minted comedy team of Lynch & Samberg.

A therapy session for Samberg goes awry when Lynch's guided-relaxation techniques take an experimental turn.

And a cheerful, orthodontically-challenged kid hosts 'The New Boyfriend Talk Show' while eating breakfast every day with his mom's latest lover.

Think Samberg should guest-star on 'Glee' soon? Sue Sylvester could have a long-lost son, Mr. Schue could get a roommate to cut expenses, a sloppy new janitor could trigger an OCD relapse for Emma... the possibilities are endless.

I agree with you about Lynch. She and Betty White both need to vanish for a while. It was still the best SNL I've seen in a couple of years.

Jane Lynch was great. I enjoyed the whole show. The Glee sketch was a riot even with gilly. I feel sorry for Fred Armisen, he looks like he's suffering from a bad case of break up weight loss.

Ms. Lynch is also a regular on 2 and One Half Men where she plays Charlie Sheen's therapist. She is very funny & was even nominated for an Emmy for her role.

When I post something, I am informed that an e-mail has been sent to verify my address, however, it never arrives. Are you censoring even hints of anti gay and lesbian views?

By Daniel

If you use any derogatory or swear words, then no, an email won't be sent. You can censor yourself, that might work.

By charlesalmon

They also don't post stuff which is TOO intelligent.
I get lots of stuff not posted.
No, I'm not flattering myself.

SNL basically sucks anymore. Bruno Mars was excellent.

Jane Lynch was fantastic. AND AHAHAHAHA Oh my god, I'm watching Sunday Night Football and having trouble containing myself! What(Jane Lynch did a parody of the SNF theme song on SNL)
What more fitting for football than a woman singing in a field.

By Sara

Jane Lynch was an awesome host, they should have her back again, I also loved the Facebook sketch.

By petey

SNL need to just go away.98 percent of the show sucks!

By Domani

OK - Jane has officially replaced Ellen DeGeneres as my favorite funny blonde lesbian!

By wayne

I think Jane is HOT, to bad she gay....Screw

By nancy

I love Jane Lynch and I'm glad she's finally getting the props she deserves. It too bad I'm not gay and that she's married. I'd jump her bones in a red-hot minute.
