Jane Lynch and Darren Criss on "The View" this Friday

Well that was awkward.


Lynch was the guest cohost and it seemed like the last thing she wanted to talk about was Funny Girl. Joy Behar said she saw the show the other day and Jane was fabulous and the songs were classics. Nothing about how good the show was, nothing about Beanie, certainly nothing about reviews. 🤣. Lynch then said how exhausted she is from doing eight shows.


Ana Navarro said she saw the show and it was great, but then moved on to Broadway returning back to normal in general, and what a treat it is to see a show if you’re a tourist. More emphasis was put on the tourist aspect than FG itself. She did say she never saw FG and didn’t know Brice was a real person. Lynch agreed about visiting NY and escaping into a show for a few hours and forgetting the world outside.


Darren Criss came out after the half way mark, and they did discuss AB more with him than they discussed FG with Lynch. They didn’t mention reviews or his performance, just the talented cast he has.


At the end of the show in the last 30 seconds, Lynch said she’s in the show through September and Beanie will be with the show for as long as she wants to sing her heart out. It’s an open ended run .

Felt like she was giving Beanie a big old virtual hug for trying.

You...are reading waaaaay too much into this.

Patti nor the cohosts mentioned Katrina Lenk when Patti was on. Now the production has Lenk doing plenty of press. I wouldn’t look too much into it.

People who are on as co-hosts like to have a little chat to catch up, but it's not meant to be a full interview. If she's there the whole hour, they're not going to do an in-depth segment on her first. Just her being there, mentioning Funny Girl a few times, and just being Jane, is doing all the publicity job it needs to.

It's a morning chat show, y'all, not the JFK conspiracy.

I guess you're not familiar with the show, or the set-up by the producers.

When they have a guest cohost for one day, it's someone who is usually tied to a project to promote, and they've been booked for a reason. They do indeed spend the opening of the show talking about their project (TV show, movie, album, book, Broadway show) in detail - taking those five minutes in front of 5 million viewers for the best promo they can give. No one sits there like a lummox, not taking advantage of the segment and not building up any enthusiasm or excitement for the show as Lynch did. It's all hype and excitement - which Lynch completely lacked.

I am a fan of The View. Watch it all the time. Usually when Joy or Whoopi attend a broadway show they are very clear on their praise or if not they do not talk about it. Whoopi was not there.. but Joy was skirting around her comments of the show. She said it has beautiful music. Ana talked about the covid precautions at the theater. And then she mentioned she did not know Fanny Brice was real. They were not handing out compliments. And I thought Lynch was a unwilling participant in the conversation. But maybe it is just the way I saw things."

She didn’t know that Fanny Brice was an actual living human being? Hmmm, that is very, very telling…
