Kristin Chenoweth appeared on ABC's hit talk show, THE VIEW on December 2, 2009 to talk about her new Lifetime fim, '12 Men Of Christmas'.

During her acceptance speech at this year's Emmy Awards, Kristin Chenoweth half-jokingly said, 'I'm unemployed now and I'd like to be on Mad Men...I also like the Office and 24.' As the Star Telegram reports, during an interview with the Tony-award winner, while no concrete job offers have landed on her step, Chenoweth is doing 'just fine' with some noteworthy upcoming appearances, including a return to the TV hit 'Glee', slated for January, and an upcoming Broadway revival of 'Promises, Promises' opposite Sean Hayes.

The always inspiring Cheyenne Jackson is currently balancing a starring role in 'Finian's Rainbow,' a brand new CD and a great role on NBC's '30 Rock,' and the Broadway favorite couldn't be happier.
