ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Kenny and Eileen participate in a Christmas choir competition and things really escalate.
Can you talk about the fun of playing those heated choir scenes?
Its an exciting time, and getting to play with Martha like that is always so satisfying.
I think there is the facade.
I like how that developed and I like how that affects their relationship.
Once they get more and more comfortable with each other, its fun to see that dynamic in play.
You see that experimental side to Kenny in the final choir performance.
I thought it was so smart because, again, it shows the wonderful differences between Kenny and Brett.
Its crazy; it was so fun.
I feel its the closest Ill ever come to being onGlee.
I give it a strong 9.5.
I think theyd expect nothing less from the Catholics.
Will there be more of that down the line, more choir performances?
Maybe not choir performances, but there may or may not be a few more musical numbers this season.
Another aspect to the feuding is Jimmy as Eileens spy, with his terrible British accent.
What do you think of his storyline and the fun that he adds to the show this week?
I think Matt Shively is one of the funniest humans in the world.
I think our writers have picked up on that and they, out of anyone, found it.
From day one, Matt and the writers were on the same page.
I think the tag is one of my favorite moments in the entire episode.
Separate from that, theres the sex talk between Pat and Shannon.
Sex talks are almost always awkward, but especially so with Pat and Shannon.
What do you think of the awkwardness there, and how that all played out?
Shannon, shes not your average teenage girl…
No, shes wise and knowing.
I think when you pit a character like Pat against a character like Shannon hilarity ensues.
You could say the same thing about spring spirit or summer spirit.
Beyond this episode, whats ahead for Kenny?
Our finale, its being rewritten right now, but we did a table read of it.
Im excited for people to see that.
The Real ONealsairs Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m.
