Burnett, Lynch and Academy of Television Arts & Sciences chairman and CEO John Shaffner would not tip their hand about the specific content for the Sept. 18 telecast. But Lynch did reveal that her Glee alter ego Sue Sylvester will not be a big part of the show.
“I think we’ll probably leave her track suit on the Paramount lot,” she said.
“If there’s any nod to Sue it will be very, very minor because a little Sue goes a long way,” added Burnett.
The Emmys traditionally open with an irreverent musical number. And Lynch was part of Jimmy Fallon’s “Born to Run” opener on last year’s Emmys. She said she’s looking forward to this year’s show with “excitement, anticipation and abject fear.”
