Tonight, an all new episode of Glee airs on Fox at 9 PM, featuring covers of Queen’s “Somebody to Love” and Emmy-Award winning actress/human wine cork Kristin Chenoweth. That’s all well and good, but the real question is: Will it feature scenes with my personal favorite person on the entire Glee cast, the Principal played by Iqbal Theba?

It’s hard to explain why Iqbal has risen to our favorite character on Glee. While Jane Lynch has clearly been given all the best lines on the show (and hopefully seals her Emmy nom/win for next year in the process), Iqbal does wonders with the little he is given. He pretty much earned our love from his performance in the “Push It” clip alone (1:07):

So it’s a great day because Dave Nemetz over at Fancast has posted his exclusive interview with Principal Theba, who is also making appearances over on NBC’s Community. The whole interview is worth a read (who knew he was slingin’ ribs at Tony Roma’s in the 90s?), but this question in particular warmed our little gay musical theater hearts:

Glee fans are crazy about the show; they call themselves “Gleeks.” Have you been accosted in the street by any Gleeks yet?

Yes, every time I step outside my house, somebody screams at me. [Laughs] We went to Oxnard, me and my wife and kids, to get some milk, and I hear, “I’m sending you my love…” I turn around and someone’s singing to me! But I thank them for their love. It’s been a wonderful experience, and the show’s really taken off. Fox just picked it up for a full season [of 22 episodes], and I don’t think I’ve done even 10 episodes of a single show before, so it’s a blessing.

Keep on singing to Iqbal, America. It’s that same spirit that makes Santa’s sleigh stay afloat every Christmas.

So who’s excited about tonight? And, more importantly, when will Mr. Schuester finally dump that bitch of a wife of his?
