Magnus Protocol theory: Alex and Jonny aren’t playing characters. Instead they’re providing commentary, like Statler and Waldorf, mercilessly trolling the cast and the fans after each episode.
Here’s to some real-life New Directions! In one of the earliest awards handed out in the 76th Tony Awards telecast on CBS and Paramount+, history was made as Alex Newell became the first-ever openly non-binary actor to win a Tony award, in the Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Musical category, for their showstopping role as cornpone character Lulu in the musical comedy “Shucked.”
Then, in the show’s final hour, that record was upheld by nonbinary actor J. Harrison Ghee, who won the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical in the Marc Shaiman/Scott Wittman tuner “Some Like it Hot”, based on Billy Wilder’s classic 1950s comedy. Ghee, late of musicals such as “Kinky Boots” and “Mrs. Doubtfire”, was a favorite for their bold reimagining of the Jerry/Daphne role made famous by Jack Lemmon in the original film."
Everyone always talks about how funny it is that Jon Ex girlfriend is Played by Jonny’s real life spouse,
but what I thinks is funnier is that Jane Prentiss who spends half of season 1 harassing Martin is voice by Alex’s then girlfriend/now wife Hannah Brankin
