Jane Lynch Talks Guardian Angels, Game Shows, 'Glee' And Finding Inner Peace [INTERVIEW]

After ending her successful six-year run as diabolical cheerleading coach-turned-school principal Sue Sylvester on "Glee," Jane Lynch took a break from acting. Now she's back, and she's one busy lady.

In addition to her starring role on CBS's "Angel From Hell," playing a meddling guardian angel to Maggie Lawson, Lynch is pulling double duty as the host of NBC's "Hollywood Game Night," a madcap game show featuring some of her closest celebrity friends.

"I'm there to ensure everyone has fun, has a drink, and when we're playing games that they follow the rules," says Lynch.

Might there be guest stars on "Angel" you also help?

I don't know, one of the things I love so far about our show is it's about the four characters. We're really focusing on those lives, and there is stuff that happens outside of that, but I think a lot of reasons shows like "Seinfeld," "Bewitched" and "I Dream of Jeannie" worked was because there were like five people on the show. I think what happens is, especially when there are too many cooks in the kitchen, you end up doing stunt casting and you go off in weird places. Here you have these four really great characters, so focus on them.
