Some pretty huge bombshells have already emerged from And That What’s You REALLY Missed, a new podcast about the making of the Fox show Glee, hosted by two of its stars Kevin McHale and Jenna Ushowitz (Tina Cohen-Chang and Archie Abrams, respectively).
In its premiere episode last week, guest Ryan Murphy, who created the series, shared that the show’s infamous show choir director Will Shuester was originally written as a crystal meth addict. It was also revealed that Justin Timberlake was initially offered the part before Matthew Morrison took on the extremely cursed role.
In part two of Murphy’s interview, which aired Monday, the multi-hyphenate had even more behind-the-scenes tea to spill, including a Season 1 guest role planned for Whitney Houson that was ultimately given to rapper Eve. He also said he had wanted to shoot a Taylor Swift-themed Glee episode that never came to fruition. The most insightful portion of their conversation, however, occurred towards the end when Ushowitz asked Murphy to speak about actor Cory Monteith’s surprising death and his notable tribute episode.
