About this episode

Jane Lynch is an Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actress, comedian, and host whose quick wit and unmistakable charm have made her one of Hollywood’s most beloved figures. From her iconic role as Sue Sylvester on "Glee" to her unforgettable performances in "Best in Show" and "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," she has built a career on making people laugh. But behind the humor is a woman who has found peace through truth and self-acceptance. Jane opens up to Hoda about how therapy helped her shed years of shame, what she learned from her relationship with her mother, how "Glee" continues to impact fans more than a decade later, and why she now finds joy in the quiet moments of everyday life.
