Talk Show Listings for Friday, December 10, 2010.

Now that the New Directions have conquered sectionals, the glee club will celebrate Christmas! Below, BroadwayWorld brings you a look at the first on-set shots!

The Tisch School of the Arts announced today that a distinguished list of entertainers will join in honoring Tony Award® and Emmy Award® winning actor Billy Crystal, Class of 1970, at its annual gala, The Face of Tisch.

For the 2010 Seattle Men's Chorus (SMC) Holiday Concert, Holiday Glee, the Chorus will take a few cues from the wildly popular TV series Glee. 'For over 30 years the gay choruses in particular have been doing what the show Glee is doing now,' said artistic director Dennis Coleman. 'This show has just made it popular. But, it does call attention to choral music and singing, and however that happens, it's wonderful!' SMC pays homage to Glee, but with a twist. The show's unofficial anthem, 'Don't Stop Believin' has been re-worked as a parody with holiday-themed lyrics and individual Chorus members will represent several of the main characters including Kurt, the openly gay student at McKinley High. Coleman continues, 'There's a lot of 'camp' to Glee, and camp is a gay art form. Everything about the show screams 'gay chorus!' The concert will be funny, but also serious. The Chorus will celebrate different American holiday traditions focusing on the music and style of Las Vegas, Nashville, Broadway, and the Southwest (especially Arizona). And SMC's beloved rendition of Silent Night and other traditional holiday tunes will not disappoint.

In next week's episode of FOX's hit show GLEE, New Directions goes to sectionals! Check out the first photos from next week's 'Special Education' episode below!

The Tisch School of the Arts announced today that Golden Globe® Award Winner, James Franco, will join its annual gala, honoring Billy Crystal, Class of 1970.

GLEE star and Broadway vet Matthew Morrison recently opened up to ET about his wild child past and why he is not the best boyfriend material these days. Says Morrison: 'There was so much opportunity. There were all these beautiful, beautiful dancers. As a straight guy, I had some room ... I definitely hooked up with a lot of girls when I was a young guy on Broadway. It was exciting. Very joyous and free.'
