Cheno and McBride Head To FOX
More post-Pushing Daisies casting news…
Earlier this week it was announced that Kristin Chenoweth will have a recurring role on Fox’s GLEE (from Nip/Tuck’s Ryan Murphy). Glee is a show that I’m dying to see which follows a High School glee club. The last time Murphy went to high school it was the wickedly delicious POPULAR so I have high hopes.
Today it was announced that Chi McBride has signed on to Fox’s new drama HUMAN TARGET. Human Target will star Mark Valley (recently on FRINGE) and Bad News Bears WATCHMEN’s Jackie Earle Haley.

Here are two more reasons Fox’s upcoming musicomedy, Glee, has us overjoyed: Kristin Chenoweth and Victor Garber are joining the cast in what will likely turn out to be recurring roles!
Wicked alum Chenoweth, who showed off her awesome pipes on the late, great Pushing Daisies, will play a part that’s as top secret as it is hilarious. (Sorry, that’s all you’re getting out of me.)
Chi’s Casting News courtesy THR.com:
The WBTV-produced “Target” centers on Christopher Chance (Mark Valley), a mysterious freelancer who offers a unique form of security for hire: He assumes the identities of people in danger, becoming the “human target” on behalf of his clients.
McBride will play Chance’s business partner and friend.
It’s a shame. Chi can do anything. We’ve seen him do drama before. But I LOVED watching him on Daisies. It was great to see him do comedy. And nobody pulls faces like he does. And I’ll miss him saying “Oh, HELL NO!”
“McBride will play Chance’s business partner and friend.” Hmmm I think we’ve seen him play this role before except with hilarious outcomes. I agree with Murphy. Chi can do anything.
That’s great for them.
You guys said you had a message from Bryan and other stuff. Are you ever going to post it?
How exciting, but too bad I vowed to never watch FOX after what they did to Firefly and Wonderfalls. T - T
