I know that this is not being counted, but I tallied up the 'votes" and counted ties as being half of a vote for one Glinda and half for another, and I didn't count second or third etc. opinions, and here are the results so far (you can keep "voting" though):

Kristin Chenoweth: 20.5
Megan Hilty: 13
Jennifer Laura Thompson: 5.8
Katie Adams: 3
Kendra Kassebaum: 2
Emily Rosek: 1.3
Sarah Jane Everman, Mindy Cohen: 1
Stacie Morgain Lewis: 0.3

P.S. PJ, I know that she appears on NBC a lot (her self titled sitcom, Last Call with Carson Daly, the Today show, Annabeth Schott on "The West Wing," the Macy's Parade, Ellen, etc.) but are you really serious that she is in line to host SNL? I am a Cheno fan myself and if you're lying, I am not that gullible.

Of all the Glindas I've heard, I'd say that my top three are JLT, Emily Rozek, and Stacie Lewis. JLT definitely has my vote for best-acted, Rozek is the only Glinda that can properly belt the role where it's require, and there's just a whole darn lot I like about Stacie's Glinda! That having been said, Hilty's one damn good Glinda too. I think that the caliber of the Glindas has been higher than that of the Elphabas, for both standbys and principle performers. Less individual standouts in the role, but most of the Glindas have been VERY consistent, while some of the Elphabas have not been.

Yes, she's definitely in talks to do it. Nothing official as of yet. But I'd imagine they are going to use the Old Navy commercials to her benefit. I don't anyone who hasn't seen at least one.

"Hey, is that that little bitch from Old Navy?" - Any given person's reaction to seeing her hosting. I got that from someone at work when we were talking about this. haha

Add another vote for Katie Adams. From what I've heard/seen of Cheno, Adams was very close to her mannerisms and singing, but added a newer complexity to the role in her acting that upped the ante.
