Well, you want to keep things going, moving things along, but whats really great about tonight that I didnt get to do so much during the Emmys is I get to have really funny jokes, Lynch told The Hollywood Reporter before the taping of the roast on Aug. 4 in Hollywood.
But it wont be all fun and games for Lynch, who said shell also take some hits from the other roasters. Among the comedians roasting Barr are Seth Green, Jeffrey Ross, Wayne Brady, Carrie Fisher and Ellen Barkin.
People are saying some pretty awful things about me from what I understand, she said. And I cant wait.

Lynch, whose character on Glee Sue Sylvester will return in season four as a mother, also spoke to THR about how motherhood will change the cheerleading coach.
I think the thing is, Sue Sylvester is pretty set in stone with who she is, Lynch told THR. Shes your best friend and your worst enemy. When she has something to fight for, shes never better.
Lynch also revealed who she would like to be the celebrity father of Sues baby, if she could choose. Find out who she chose here.
