The first single, 'Higher Power,' was released on August 10.

Series creator Ryan Murphy has finally spilled the beans and revealed on Ryan Seacrest's radio show today that - yes - Spears would be appearing on the show.

According to Movie Line, GLEE star and Emmy nominated actor Jane Lynch will be hosting the October 9 edition of 'Saturday Night Live.'
