Glee creator Ryan Murphy says he gets why NBC asked Macy’s to pull the cast of his Fox show out of its Thanksgiving Day parade: “I completely understand NBC’s position, and look forward to seeing a Jay Leno float,” he told EW.com. Sources said yesterday that NBC asked parade organizers to rescind an offer for the cast of the musical comedy to appear in the annual holiday event, which the network broadcasts. While the parade has featured performers from rival networks’ properties in the past — such as American Idol singers or High School Musical actors — sources said featuring an entire cast would amount to too much promotion.

LOVE Ryan’s biting comment on a “Jay Leno float.” Way to stick it to them!!

Wow, Mr Murphy’s comment was funnier than 90% of the stuff in his monologue!

Snap!
Except the NBC execs are dumb enough to say “hey, good idea on the Leno float thing!”
lol, so true.
I thought that too when I read it!!! LOL!
I think a giant chin balloon would be better.
Lol, I totally agree! Although I would wonder how to do that without making look like a giant butt ballon.
Take that NBC!
It’s one asinine decision after another for NBC execs. They should all be fired.
Except for Jack Donaghy, of course.
And the line between fiction and reality continues to blur…
Love it!
Nice one, Ryan Murphy. That response was full of SNAP!
I can only shake my head at NBC, what a bunch of idiots.
I heart Ryan Murphy
NBC frustrates me
Reason #159 that barring the ‘Glee’ cast from the T-day parade was dumb: the barring was obviously going to leak to make NBC look stupid and threatened.
Well, I guess I will be watching the parade on CBS from now on!
And…NBC takes another step in their quest to becoming the most hated network in the universe. Of course, who can blame them in this situation. NBC has a ton of their own great programming to promote, like, LIFE and SOUTHLAND.
Life =’(
The fact that that TV show was cancelled after two seasons while Everybody Loves Raymond survived is one of the greatest injustics EVER.
Um, Raymond was on CBS.
Oh I miss Life!
Ryan’s comment is awesome. ROFLMAO!
That’s ok, I didn’t want to waste time watching the parade anyway.
The cast of GLEE is about the only thing that could have got me watching the Parade. Or, NBC for that matter considering all of my viewership goes to ABC, Fox, CBS, and the CW anyway. Thank you, NBC, for proving to the nth degree that there is nothing worth watching on your network.
RRRRRRrreaaaarrrrrwwww!! Cat fight!!
