"The Sue Sylvester Shuffle"

The Super Bowl episode is the upcoming eleventh episode of the second season of the American musical television series Glee, and the thirty-third episode overall. The episode will be directed by Brad Falchuk[1] and will follow Super Bowl XLV on February 6, 2011. Katie Couric will guest-star as herself and Michael Jackson's "Thriller" will be featured during the episode.

Plot

A local football championship game takes place and the "Thriller" mash-up is performed during the halftime show. The Cheerios, McKinley High's cheerleading team, compete at Regionals.[2]

Production

Katie Couric, pictured at The Heart Truth's fashion show at New York Fashion Week in 2009, will guest star in the episode

The episode is reported to be the most expensive post-Super Bowl episode in television history.[3] Two new football-playing characters will be introduced: Scott Cooper and Strando, who may have an increased role in the series. Additionally, producers are seeking fire breathers, jugglers, and bicycle motocross stunt performers for the episode.[1] Brad Ellis, the series' pianist and one of Glee's musical directors has revealed 500 extras will be involved, as well as the University of Southern California Trojan Marching Band.[4] Dot-Marie Jones and Darren Criss will appear in their respective recurring roles of football coach Shannon Beiste and Blaine, lead singer of the Dalton Academy Warblers.[2] Guests scheduled to appear include Katie Couric.[3]

Music

Series creator Ryan Murphy initially intended the episode to be the second of the season paying tribute to a single band or artist, following the Britney Spears tribute episode "Britney/Brittany", and considered covering songs by Elton John, Prince, The Beatles, Bruce Springsteen or Michael Jackson.[5][6] Ultimately it was decided that songs by multiple acts would be covered. The episode will feature a mash-up of Jackson's song "Thriller" and another song which has yet to be determined.[3][6] Songs by The Black Eyed Peas, Lady Antebellum, and Katy Perry will also be featured,[6][7] and rival glee club the Dalton Academy Warblers will perform "Bills, Bills, Bills" by Destiny's Child.[8] In early reports relating to the episode, cast member Jane Lynch claimed that Couric and Matthew Morrison (Will Schuester) would perform a dance number to "Tea for Two", Vincent Youmans and Irving Caesar's song from the 1925 musical No, No, Nanette.[3] This rumor was later dispelled by Murphy.[7] One number has been confirmed to be duetted between new couple Rachel (Lea Michele) and Puck (Mark Salling).[9]
