Andy Samberg joins Fred Armisen as the second Saturday Night Live alum to guest star on the NBC comedy Parks & Recreation. According to the NYPost he is going to play “Carl, the head of park security who butts heads with Leslie (Amy Poehler) after someone gets mugged in one of their parks.” And it gets even better. Parks’ Aziz Ansari (he plays Tom Haverford) twittered that the Samberg episode is going to be “a great Jerry heavy episode.” Let’s just say I’m already in knots.

Ready for the lastest Glee news? Well here we go…
Madonna has given Glee the rights to her entire catelog of songs and a Madonna-centric episode is slated to air later this year. Ryan Murphy (co-creator) plans on approaching American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert to guest star in a future episode. (Come January Glee will be paired with American Idol on Wednesday nights, so this makes perfect sense.)
Upcoming episodes will include performances set to Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary, ” Van Halen’s “Jump,” John Lennon’s “Imagine” (which the glee club performs with a rival deaf choir (Ryan Murphy: “Everyone who sees it sheds a tear.”)), Paul Anka’s “You’re Having My Baby,” and Barbara Streisand’s “Don’t Rain on My Parade.”
On integrating Springsteen songs into the show Ryan Murphy has said: “I think Bruce is our next holy grail.” “My musical tastes begin and end with him basically” said Brad Falchuk (co-creator).
Glee returns with all new episodes November 11 at 9PM on FOX.
