Ed O'Neill: Glee's Jane Lynch Shouldn't Have Won the Emmy

Ed O’Neill

Modern Family's Ed O'Neill doesn't think Jane Lynch deserved to win the Emmy for her role in Glee, and doesn't mind saying so.

"I love Jane, honestly I do," O'Neill told TV Guide Canada. "I'm dying to star in one of Christopher Guest's movies alongside her, but I don't think she should have gotten the Emmy for that part. [Sue Sylvester] is just a one-note character."

The 64-year-old actor suggested instead that Sofia Vergara, his on-screen wife, should have won the Emmy for supporting actress.

"Sofia is just so, so funny. I don't think people realize how hilarious she is. She's so sharp with her wit, it's amazing," he said.
