Leakes becomes the latest coach on the series, joining Jane Lynch’s Sue Sylvester and Dot Marie Jones’ Shannon Beiste.
“We have a new guest star coming on Glee, Ms. Nene Leakes,” an excited Colfer announced.
Added Real Housewives fan Michele: “We literally raided her trailer, we banged on her door!”
Leakes’ casting comes after news of Ricky Martin, Gloria Estefan and rapper Pitbull were reportedly in talks to join the musical dramedy and months after Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy announced Season 3 would be going back to basics and pulling back on its guest stars.
