Jane Lynch, whose memorable turns in recent comedies like &#8220;The 40 Year-Old Virgin&#8221; and &#8220;Role Models&#8221; helped her catapult to stardom among the genre&#8217;s diehards, is a principle on new FOX series &#8220;Glee&#8221; and will thus be unable to continue appearing on the quirky Starz comedy.<\/p>\n<p>Lynch was part of the ensemble cast (the rest of which will be back for season two) of &#8220;Party Down,&#8221; a Starz original comedy that follows a group of Hollywood hopefuls and washouts who work for a catering company.  Jennifer Coolidge began appearing in the final episodes of the first season and will presumably continue as a replacement for Lynch&#8211;the ten episode second season bows next year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Robin Williams will tape a comedy special for HBO during his &#8220;Weapons of Self-Destruction&#8221; tour.  The special will tape in November for a December airing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; &#8220;10 Things I Hate About You&#8221; scored 1.6 million viewers for its debut episode on ABC Family Tuesday.  According to ABC Family, it was television&#8217;s top primetime telecast for female teenagers and females 12-34 on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The premiere&#8217;s total viewership nonetheless fell far short of the recent premiere numbers for &#8220;The Secret Life of the American Teenager&#8221; and &#8220;Make it or Break It&#8221; (ratings for both shows have declined in the past two weeks, but the two series remain strong performers by ABC Family ratings standards).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/view.picapp.com\/default.aspx?term=\\robin williams&#038;iid=4794698\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.picapp.com\/ftp\/Images\/7\/4\/1\/3\/Night_at_the_03bd.JPG?adImageId=1836186&#038;imageId=4794698\" width=\"320\" height=\"403\"  border=\"0\" alt=\"Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian screening in Washington.\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/cdn.pis.picapp.com\/IamProd\/PicAppPIS\/JavaScript\/PisV4.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>TV News: &quot;Party Down&quot;
