NEW YORK (AP) – “A nice match,” says Jane Lynch, referring to herself and her new sitcom role. “Made in heaven, if you will.”
Heaven, indeed.
On CBS’ “Angel From Hell” (Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. EST), Lynch plays Amy, a spirited but scatterbrained oddball who barrels into the life of Allison, a sweet but neurotic young doctor played by Maggie Lawson, insinuating herself as a self-styled “guardian angel.” (“Angel From Hell” also stars Kevin Pollak and Kyle Bornheimer as Allison’s father and brother.)
Is Amy really on a job from God? Or is she a boozy, jobless nutcase from the streets?
“At one point I do something great for Allison and she says, ‘Are you really an angel, or are you just crazy?’ And I just say, ‘Does it matter?'”
