The veteran sitcom star said “Glee’s” Jane Lynch did not deserve her Best Actress Emmy earlier this year for portraying cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, TVGuide.ca reported.
Lynch plays a “one-note character,” O’Neill reportedly told a gathering of international journalists.
“I love Jane, honestly I do,” he said. “I’m dying to star in one of [mocumentary director] Christopher Guest’s movies alongside her, but I don’t think she should have gotten the Emmy for that part.”
O’Neill said Sofia Vergara, who plays his “Modern Family” character’s on-screen squeeze, was more deserving of the golden statue, Canada's TV Guide reported.
“Sofia is just so, so funny,” the former “Married … With Children” actor said. “I don’t think people realize how hilarious she is. She’s so sharp with her wit, it’s amazing.”
