Kristin Chenoweth: Back to Work on "Glee" Tonight, 9/30

It seems Kristin Chenoweth's appeal for work during her Emmy-winning speech worked: the star will be appearing tonight on the country's new guilty pleasure, "Glee" at 9:00pm EST. 

Chenoweth will play April Rhodes, a boozy former classmate of Will's who has an eye for really young men. The star spoke with TVGuide.com about her "Glee" gig and what really happened backstage on Emmy night. Below is an except from the TVguide.com interview:

TVGuide.com: Tell us about April.
Kristin Chenoweth: April is a woman who was kind of "the deal" in glee in high school with Matthew Morrison's character. Let's just say he calls on April for some "help."

TVGuide.com: How did you like playing such a different role?
Chenoweth: This part is like nothing I've had the chance to do on TV. She's very happy when drinking to ease her pain. I also sing in three very different styles, which is always fun and challenging.
